 sara_evans white bouquet   |
Ask a Question
Pleaseeeeeee help! OPINIONS greatly appreciated!
My bouquet, bridesmaids bouquets, and the whole wedding party are wearing/carrying roses.... Now I bought all my centerpiece stuff and the flowers for that are not roses. Is this tacky? That they don't match the flowers we are wearing/carrying....
Are your girls' centerpieces (that are flower themed) the same as the flowers in your wedding party? I'd hate to have to change my centerpices...I just don't want things to look silly... What do you think? |

 topper |
Ask a Question
Cake topper or no?
I don't think we are going to have a cake topper....Anyone else not having one? I just can't find one that I like. That and we are having a bunch of roses on the top of the cake so IDK what would even look good with that! I honestly think it will look cheesy on a really classy looking cake...? Things should not be this hard! Hah!
Any ideas? Or just no cake topper? |

Ask a Question
What are you doing for your bachelorette party?!
And when do you have them? Is it the weekend before the wedding typically? Who plans it? I can't remember if the MOH is suppose to or not...? My MOH lives an hour away so I think I may plan it because I know what I want to do, sort of.
I think we are going to go out to eat, go to a comedy club for a show, and thennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn IDK what else. Haha. We're not big drinkers so we won't be bar hopping or anything. I can't get drunk either....It literally takes me a few days to recover from getting drunk. Bleh. What are you girls doing for yours? |

Ask a Question
How much is your cake?
Once again I thought we were going to be spending TONS and TONS of money on something and we are comming out WAY ahead! We were going to have a gal from church make our cake (she does weddings) but we decided not to. We met with a gal yesterday and we are meeting with another gal tomorrow to cake test!
Well, the gal we met with yesterday gave us a quote and we are looking at like 350-400ish for our cake. It is like 2.35 or something like that per slice and we are getting a 136(ish, can't remember exactly) pieces out of a 3 tier cake. We were going to go with some wild flavor, but after trying her almond vanilla and chocolate cake...HOLY COW! SOLDDDDDDDDDD! Haha. We are giong to try the other gals cake tomorrow and see if it is better, which I can't believe how it could be, but who doesn't want to go try some free cake?!?! The gal we met with gave us two plate fulls of cake! YUMM! She kept commenting that we are planning way ahead....Anyone else getting this comments!?! We got a comment from the tuxedo place as well that we are planning way far in advance....The wedding is like 3 months away and I thought we were behind! PHEW! Anywho....So we are figuring 350-400 for the cake plus we have to buy TONS of roses for the cake..who KNOWS how much that will cost. I think it is like 4 dollars per rose. Eww. Going to add up in a hurry! How much are you girls spending? And what kind of cake are you getting? I guess the almond vanilla and chocolate goes with our 'black and white' theme. Each tier is going to be half and half. LIke stacked wise. Chocolate on bottom and vanilla on top for each tier. So kinda like marble, but not mixed. Yummmmmmmy! |

Chair Covers are hereeeeee!
What do ya girls think?
I have been waiting and waiting for these darn covers forever I swear. Okay okay...Like less than 2 weeksish...But still! We bought the chair covers and ties off ebay and they came in today and I put it on a chair that we had with the bow and I think they look great! They will obviously will look better on the hotel chairs (which they were made for) and not the chairs we have. But I got to get a rough idea of what they will look like all put together. After everything gets pressed it's going to look even better! My future MIL offered to iron all 100 covers and ties. Glad that is one less thing for me to do!
What do you girls think? |

Wedding Rings And Jewelry
We went and got my fiance's ring!!!!!!!
I picked his ring out last week and we finally had time to run out last Saturday and get wedding stuff taken care of and we got his ring!
I wanted something with a few smalllll diamonds in it but he said no. :-( So this was the next best thing I could find. He's a pretty plain guy and didn't want anything flashy...(BOO) I guess my ring will make up for what his lacks ;-P Anywho! I LOVE it and can't wait to pop that puppy on his finger for GOOD! :-D It is a high polished 14k White Gold 6mm band...For 600 bucks (+ tax and gold warranty) Not sure if that is a good price or not? Seemed like a little much for how plain it is...But what do I know! |

 lily roses   |
Ask a Question
Need advice on flowers!
I went and picked out all my flowers yesterday, but didn't order. (We have to order our cake and see how many flowers we need for that before we can order) And I was browsing pics of rose bouquets and ran across a lily bouquet.....
Which do you girls like better? I posted a pic of each. A lily bouqet or rose bouqet?!?! I almost think the lily looks more 'lively', but the rose looks more 'classy'.... |
