5673 days agoI bought a Demetrios gown from Macy's in Wayne, NJ late this June. They said 6 mos for it to come in. I ordered a 10 though the girl said I was 5lbs from the 8, bc I was afraid the 8 might cost more to adjust than taking in the 10. I'm tall, 5'8.5",...

5675 days agoI requested a quote from a planner. I hesitated to provide the name of our venue as when people hear it, they think we're loaded (we got 20% off for a Sunday wedding, otherwise we couldn't have swung it at all). "$1,600 and I am familiar with...

5675 days agoOur wedding is Sunday, June 26, 2011. I live over an hour from my ceremony/reception venue- a resort with its own acclaimed spa. I work over 1hr 45mins from it, so coordinating things/doing trial runs isn't easy since I work til 7p. We'll be going to...

5683 days agoI know I am getting way ahead of myself, but... our package includes one signature cocktail of our choice for our cocktail hour. No clue what to choose. In case the following will inspire you- we're getting married outside a garden in the mountains...

5685 days agoOn June 26th, I ordered a Demetrios dress at Macy's. I'm 5'8.5", a street size 8, hourglass figure. The girl said that I should order a size 8- if I were to lose just 5lbs the 8 would fit perfectly. I was exhausted and ordered a 10 as I didn't want...

5688 days agoI am just now, barely, starting to think about music. Here's a few songs that I've added to my No Play List. I'd love some more suggestions (&an explanation if need be)! 1. Chicken Dance 2. Macarena 3. Hokey Pokey 4. YMCA

5688 days agoWe're not having children at our wedding, and as such am not sure it's fair to ask a parent or two to cart their kids to our noon wedding, then find somewhere to stash them for the cocktail hour & reception. Plus, we want adults to relax and not...

5705 days agoWhat do you think of the idea of using silver/silver-plated bowls to hold centerpiece flowers? I posted some pics as ideas and was thinking I could pink these up at yard sales, Goodwill, etc. They wouldn't match, but that would be part of the charm....
