April 2011 Brides

[APOLA2035]

Ellabaja1983- I'm so sorry for what you went thru and I'm gald everything is ok between you and your mom. I think your mom can definetely help you deliver the message to your dad without making him upset. If that doesn't work, my suggestion would be to actually have your mom and your dad walk you down the aisle since your mom is so speacial for you

Is there a coupon? I really like these but they dont show a sale price

[Brandy]

Oh I think I figured it out! Go figure the ones I like arent on sale!!

[Tennyt1]

lol - yea Brandy you have to go to the Clearance or sale section.   And I love that dress, I may have to pick one up for myself!

[Tennyt1]

where are you ladies getting your garters?  I want to go to an actual store but I have no idea where?

[Brandy]

The place where I got my dress, had a few to choose from and Im sure davids bridal has a good selection. I think my mom is getting mine, if she wasnt I would more than likely order it online.

Mocha - It's such a tough place to be in with the dress issue...I'm going to have to get my mom out there to search...I just don't have a clue where to start.  Being in VT, we have so little options...  just your normal retail stores.  The last time my mother wore a dress was my brother's wedding.  In May, he'll have been married for 11 years!

 

Apola - Thank you!  I think either way I'm going to walk down the aisle myself.  At this point, I want to be presenting myself to FI.  Thank you for the suggestion though!

Ok, so originally I was leaning towards a postcard guest book and Im still leaving that open as a possibility.  Well I was on etsy yesterday and saw this and thought it was a neat idea for a guestbook.  Its a book with guest pages on the inside and the outside is a map of your location... what do you ladies think is better, this or the postcard idea?

 

[Tennyt1]

I love that Idea, I saw the bride sarah used something like that too in her recently planning journal.

Tenny, I got my garter on etsy from a seller called "lolliecoture". She does great work, it's reasonably priced and she has tons of selection! She didn't have anything in the colours I wanted so I emailed her and she did a custom one for me so quickly and amazingly. Mine was $25 for the garter & a toss garter.

 

Brandy, Yah my mom had me when she was 19 and we look like sisters. Same height, same size, same features. We got have her looking smoking, haha! I'm worried what FI's mom is going to wear though... I've never seen her in a dress. She's really short, 5 foot nothing and a little pudgy.. They're all the across the country so I can't even assist her in looking. I guess it will be a surprise
