Ask a Question
EUR Shoe Size???
Hello ladies! I ordered these shoes today but I am not sure what size to tell them I need! Anyone know what a size a 8-8.5 would need in EUR? There is no way of trying them on and shipping is $30 although I can always exchange them for a different size with that price I'd rather not have to!

DIY Wedding
Magnet Save the Dates
I finally have these created. It seemed like it took forever! Only problem now is when I print them our faces look like crap! (The pic some how turned grainy when I posted it on here but looks way better normally). I am using magnet paper that is glossy and tried printing using the best quality under printer options and am using the photo setting on our photo printer. Both of our faces come out dark in spots making us look like we have bad cases of acne! Any suggestions ladies?? Has anyone else made save the date magnets?? Thank you all in advance!

Caterer Problems Please Give Input!
My mom and I found our caterer for the wedding at a bridal expo. A vendor who did decor told us that she also had a catering company that she worked for it was local, inexpensive, and reputable. She had us come over to her house and sit down and do a consultation to figure out what exactly we wanted and budget. We also meet at our venue to see how the set up would be, the next meeting was supposed to be a tasting which somehow turned into no tasting, going over everything again, and putting down a deposit. FH and I ran into her at an expo back in early February and we had told her that we were interested in having chicken instead of another meat choice we had selected and she was supposed to email us the types they had and when the tasting would be. She just emailed me this week. I had been trying to email her and call her without a response back. She said in her email that her computer had been broken. I had already been looking into different catering companies and different alternatives when she contacted me. I'm not sure what to do, do I stick with this company? I dont want to have to worry on my wedding day and leading up if I am going to have food or not but I also dont want to lose the deposit. Backup plan: pig roast with costco side dishes lol I guess that wouldnt be so bad.

Purple Wedding Dress In the Making!!!

Wedding Dress
In the Making!!!
After what seems like a lifetime I finally found my dress!!!!! My mom and I went to Geneva to see if they had anything that might be similar to what I was looking for. The first stop was a bust. They had a almost $4,000 dress that was kinda what I wanted just without the beading and the price tag! We went to the next bridal shop and the lady there rudely told us that if we found anything we would have to come back another day but we were free to go upstairs and take a look at their bridal gowns. We didnt even make it up the stairs when I threw my arm at my mom stopping her and told her in a loud whisper "that bitch (excuse my language) is wearing my dress!" After a quick look around, which I was only walking around there floor but looking at that girl in my dress the entire time. I went downstairs and practically begged the girl to let me try on that dress. I was shaking and almost in tears and after talking to the consultant I was able to finally try on my dream dress! The Tuesday after I went back with my mom, Aunt, and bridesmaid to retry on the dress. My mom surprised me and put the down payment on my dress and veil! The dress was only $5 over our max budget so technically $205 over.. but as FH said as long as I love it its worth it!

Purple Wedding Hair Style Hair Trial

Wedding Hair Style
Hair Trial
Over the summer I worked at a hair salon which had its benefits, I was able to get my practice hair style done for free plus a tip of course ;)
I love the way it turned out and am so glad I did a practice. My hair is so thick and fine that it has a hard time holding curls so I dont often wear my hair in curls, although heavy duty product and someone who knows what their doing usually makes my curls last all night. At our salon we used Redkin products and there hairspray does not hold my hair at all. About 2 hours later my hair was already starting to fall and did not look good at all especially for the most important day of my life! (Pictures coming soon, under my wedding dress pics)

If you plan to do curls at least do the curls yourself at home and experiment with different hairsprays to see which will give you the best hold I would have been mortified had this happened on my wedding day!

BM Cards Finally Done
Thank You Ladies For Your Help
Ok so actually I finished these in July. I'm horrible at posting, sorry ladies! Thank you to sweetlatina and macbride who suggested I add rhinestones to my cards to give them a little something. Love, love, love the idea and how they turned out!

I wrote my ladies names on each on of the cards and on the back put the top 6 reasons they should be my bridesmaid. I did 6 reasons because at the time we were having 6 bridesmaids.

I altered the top reason for everyone.
For my sister I put "Because your my sister and I feel that I have to have you in my wedding" a little sister humor =)

Soon-to-be sister-in-law "Were going to be sisters!"

Best friend "You've been there for me since the first grade!"

My cousins girlfriend/my friend "It was you or (my 2 cousins that we dont get along with), I think I made the right choice" a little more humor

FH and my mutual friends "We would love for you to stand by my side as we say I do!"

BM Cards: Need Ideas
I Hate How These Turned Out
So I have been very slowly working on these and have them finally put together and absolutely hate them. What could I do to spruce them up?? The first 2 pics is of the cards for the bm and the last pic is for the gm which I havent written there names on yet since FH hasnt told me exactly who is going to be in the wedding, but I plan to write there names in silver marker.

Thanks ladies!

Ask a Question: Flip Flops
How Many To Buy???
I have a 200 guest list with about 80 or so females. I know half of them wont want to change into flip flops so how many of each size should I get?? I know a lot of the women coming are a larger size (7 and up) so I was planning on just getting a couple smaller sizes just encase. What are you ladies planning?

Old Navy flip flop sale next Saturday, May 22!!!!!!!!

Wedding Photography
Hopefully We Found A Photographer!!!!
After that horrible Boastful Bride Competition ended FH and I began the search again for a photographer. At the bridal expo where we registered for the photography competition we picked up a couple brochures while we were there one for a newer photographer, at a great price with excellent work. I contacted him about a month again only to find out that he was already busy on our wedding day.. Bummer but we continued our search which seems to be never ending. Last week I received an unexpected email from that photographer asking if I was still looking for a photographer and that he was now available!!! I have an appointment with him on Monday and hope to sign a contract and place a down payment and move on to booking the next thing on my list!!!!!

Fireball Lights Up Night Sky
I Totally Saw This Last Night!!!!
Last night after work I was sitting in our beer garden having a drink before heading home. It was a little after 10 and I could see the reflection of the sky lighting up in the glass doors to the bar I work at, it looked like lighting. I turned around to see a fireball in the sky and then it looked like it exploded soon after it faded away. The bouncer at my work and a customer who also saw it said that it must have been a flare I believed it tell I saw this on Yahoo!

"Fireball Lights Up Night Sky" There were apparently floods of 911 calls in Northern Iowa and Michigan. It didnt look this extreme to me but still awesome that I was fortunate enough to catch this, I always miss the cool things like this!!!

Heres the video that yahoo has posted it shows what someone caught on tape.
