  1. Well ladies- I just wanted to say _thank you_ for all the tips on planning the big day. This new thread will make it much more convenient for new LC brides to reference planning ideas- it was an awesome call Ann We leave on Tuesday for PV!!! I can't believe I'm getting married in about a week- yaaaaay! I'll post pictures when I get back

The ones with the * by them aren't very active, but hopefully they at least drop in and let us know how planning is going, and then come back and post a review ... that's what makes this forum work for everyone! Oh my goodness Ann, this image has reminded me that our extended engagement is almost over! I can't believe I'm on the list of upcoming weddings; I better get moving on planning!
  3. After watching many (an understatement for sure) slide shows, I've seen several ideas on honoring deceased family members. I tried buying kits at Michael's but the frames were too small/cheap looking. I finally found a site that sells a reasonably priced & decent sized bouquet charm: Square Memory Bouquet Frames | Unique Wedding Favors, Accessories and Wedding Invitations only at Jean M! Hope this helps those of you who might be struggling with the absence of a parent/family member.

But if not let me know if you need their contact info. If you mention me I am sure they can work out a great menu for you. =) Hi Mary, I was wondering if you would be willing to share the contact information you have for River cafe. Dreams priced us out for $30 pp & $16 is something that we can squeeze in our budget. Thanks! Jessica
  5. I know you specified Los Angeles but on the off-chance you're willing to take a drive. Check out The Dresser in Fullerton. I had a humuliating experience at DB & was turned off to shopping for a gown for months. In any case, the experience at The Dresser definitely made up for it & it's where I ordered my gown.

  6. Congratulations on your marriage! You look AMAZING and those moments that you suffered in your heels were well worth it It looked like everyone enjoyed your wedding- just beautiful!

  9. Just wanted to let you ladies know that JCPenney's is having a sale on The Havenera Company guayaberas ($24 each). There was an array of colors & fabrics that would be perfect for groomsmen. They also had St. John's Bay linen suits in white & khaki. I picked up a linen suit with a guayabera and paid $109. Sadly, the store sold out of the jacket in my FI's size & I tried fitting him into one that was too big. Anyway- thought I'd pass it along in case anyone could use a sale!

Hi Andi! I love your reception set up- the pop of color is awesome! I had two quick questions about some of the items you posted: 1. Where did you find your lime green parasols? 2. Was it cold enough for your guests to use the pashminas? (I'm getting married in December & don't know if it gets 'cold' enough there at that time to justify the purchase to my FI). Thanks! Jessica

Hi Andi, Thanks for reminding me about the stairs. (I haven't been before so I'm trying to envision everything I need to consider from everyone's slideshow- I forgot that it was a trek from the casita!) Starting them from the bottom will be my best bet. BTW: Your wedding looked amazing!
  13. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences-- I just knew some of you would provide suggestions. Thank you ladies!
