Any advice/tips would be greatly appreciated!

I don't think it's an issue to bring petals, what's your concern?

I love the personalized Hershey's Kisses idea! Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow you did an amazing job! I love all the cool things brides can get from VP!!

Great job they look good!!

You can sign up for their mailing list, add some things to your cart (don't check out!) and then VP should start emailing you promotional offers!

Wow thanks! Will try this out.. maybe even try out Rexall and London Drugs too!

A little tip, but don't tell them I told you!  LOL

 

I work for a cosmetic company and am in charge of a large pharmacy retail chain in SW Ontario.  This time of year is when all of the various vendors start to supply the stores with small sunscreen samples.  Little 5mL spf that are perfect tucked into OOT bags. They are ideal for day trips and excursions and for golfers who don't want to carry a full size on the go.

 

If you happen to be in a Shoppers and are buying cosmetics or skin care- don't be afraid to ask for a few.  Be specific, though- ask for spf samples. or face cream or whatever it is you want.  They will tend to brush you off if you just say "Do you have any samples?".  Companies are getting tight with sampling, but the spring is still the best time.  I have been quietly collecting and have really great items for men and ladies in their bags!

 

Some good samples-

spf samples- for kids and adults!

anti redness creams

body lotion- use as after sun

they sample for men too- ask for Vichy for men

 

Hope this helps

 

Wow great ideas!! Thanks!!

Thanks for the idea ladies on checking out Etsy! That site is addicting

Darn too late!

Thanks a lot for the link!

So we got back last week from our wedding! Sadly here in Alberta it has been -40 degrees with the wind chill...crazy! Our wedding was amazing! We were a bit worried the day of the wedding when I woke up in pain...I had to eventually start antibiotics for an infection.

The sky cleared and the sun was shining for our ceremony. Our photographers from outside the resort, Photos in Cancun took over 1600 photos and they gave us the cd's that night!! We now are narrowing it down to 250 that they will edit for us! We also got 50 other prints and a CD from the resort photographer. Below are a few of my favorite photos.

 

I will still be on here likely trying to sell some wedding things. I just wanted to thank all of my fellow Canadian brides for all of your support, ideas and just your thoughts throughout the last year or so. I hope all of you upcoming brides have an incredible day, week and honeymoon. Take as many personal photos as you can so you can look back and remember the fun moments you had with friends, family and of course, each other!

 

A-M

  

 

Wow that's a great deal!

I have yet to receive many emails from Vistaprint yet

so i have received a couple emails from vista print with free tshirt deals in them so i thought why not make some for the guys (i already ordered tanks for the girls). so because i could only order one free per order i just put in a bunch of separate orders (hehehe). so all in all they worked out to 6.40 each!!

 

this is a close up

Note the reports are dated 2003 and 2007

Ladies, so last time I posted I told you that my mum decided to order/buy from a dhgate seller instead of going with the company that I used for my dress. I used dressilyme and wrote a long review on here. My mum got a few quotes: Shades of Pale's cheapest quote was $150 US Dressilyme's quote was #167.58US plus shipping plus costom sizing. She found a seller on dhgate called Bestdavid. Bestdavid has 98% positive feedback. Bestdavid was selling the dress for $128  canadian dollars and free shipping so she ordered from best david after she did a live chat with them. She order this dress on January 11, 2012 and recieved the dress today January 18, 2012. Overall, my mum is very happy about this dress. The quality of this dress is amazing. The craftmanship is stunning. The dress is fully lined and stitched beautifully. The flowers on this dress is stunning. Her only complainst are the color of the dress is a little darker and that the bust is a little tight. I think the bust size is 1inch too small and she is not used to wearing a built in bra. I think it will be okay once she tries it on a couple more times. She can't gain any weight in the next 4 months lol. In real life the dress doesn't look tight at all and she has a lot of room to move around. This is the dress right out of the bag! I think this dress is perfect for my wedding in May and she can wear it again after my wedding.

 

 

 

What size is your ring finger?

What about paying for it to get resized?

Here is what I chose....I pray I can KEEP reminding myself.  My wedding is not until April 2013!
