I bought paper mache boxes from Michaels and plan on making it myself.
My venue is hosting their bridal showcase on Tuesday... I'm thinking it will be cancelled :(
We are doing a DIY card box that we can use it afterwards in our house. My FH is making it so it's very special to us -t's going to be either a bird house or a log cabin. We have an antique decor in the... >>>
It will be a perfect wedding day no matter what. Snow is a heck of a lot better than a monsoon!

Do I really need one? I do not want to spend the money on one :/
I'm using Stephita.
Dont stress what you can't control... but I feel you. Let's hope it is done snowing by our weddings :)
I met with Robert from Pedestals and he was really nice & helpful - but they were much more expensive for the same thing at Hidden Essence in Bay Shore.
We went with Robert from Pedestals! They were amazing!!!!
Don't even stress yourself out. I had snow, rain and sleet on my wedding and everything went smoothly. Stay positive and just remember it will make amazing pictures :)
Yikes! With all of the crazy predictions for snow people are really starting to freak out! For me, I''ll be kicking back during the cold whipping up some of my favorite soaps for winter - hot cocoa and... >>>

Posted by FutureMrsPonceYou have FMWould you mind sharing with me as well? This is the next thing on my list.
We're wedding day twins! I picked out my music last week and gave it to the church but it wasn't due until a month before the wedding. I just wanted to get it out of the way.
We met with five or six different photographers, some less and some more expensive than the one we chose. When you look at their work, especially their albums, you should be able to picture your photos and... >>>
When I met with mine we really clicked off the bat. I was very comfortable with her and very pleased with the pictures I saw. I had met a few others and even though the pictures were nice, I didn't have that... >>>
Besides their work being amazing, you want to click with their personality and feel comfortable with them. You'll know when you start meeting with photographers.
Ladies,Are you all thinking about your first dance and processional music already?
I design wedding invites too in case you need another option! I'm currently working on a hallowedding invite and did custom menus for another LIW bride. I don't know jessica leigh's pricing, but if you contact... >>>
Honestly, I felt the exact same way! A lot of photographers had photos I like, but ultimately I went with price and I just clicked with the photographer. Plus it didn't hurt that she had great reviews on here.
You girls have FM! Also the actual name of her business is Bella Bride by Pamela Sue. She has a diamond card promotion. I hope you all choose her - she is so amazing!!!
Pretty!
Thanks gals :)
Hot chocolate!
We did a "brunch in a box" .. Filled a box full of cereal, coffee cakes, granola bars, water and Gatorade. We didn't have many guests who stayed over but the ones that did loved it!
My venue told me that as we get closer to my date, like 2-3 months out, that we will meet with the maitre d' and go over all the details. But I had some generic questions after signing the contract that I just... >>>
You have FM
We found these cute little lovebird salt & pepper shakers. We're also having a candy bar and a photobooth. I'm not doing frames for the photobooth, though, because I don't want to overdo it.
I was looking for something like this! I'm so upset I won't be able to make it to either one. Hopefully they have more in the future.
I had my engagement party at Westbury Manor, and I thought the food was fantastic. There was another event going on at the same time, but they stagger them so that it doesn't seem too hectic. My guests never... >>>

Can you send me quotes for anne demarco?
Just went to a wedding there in July. We had a great time! Food was yummy too! As far as I know the bride had no problems with them
Congrats ladies!!! Almost onto February brides!
Since you're a westbury manor bride - did westbury manor contact you when it was time to do the cake or did you reach out to Francesco's bakery yourself and just go there and pick your cake out?
I'm using Flowers by Brian...they were great and they will work with whatever your budget is!
Can you send me pricing?
Can you send me the quote as well?
Very pretty! :) congrats on your check!

Alterations by Gina in Deer Park is a big favorite. A lot of brides have had bridesmaids and even wedding gowns altered there with great results.

Hi ladies,Does anyone have recommendations of where I can get alterations done for a BM dress? And how much does it cost?Thanks!
No picture but I'm glad it went great since I hear makeup is a hard vendor to book!
Awesome check!
Congrats on the check! so exciting
ordered my wedding gown today!! im so excited!!! I bought mine and the bridesmaid dresses from Fantasia Bridals in Rocky Point, they were SOOO helpful and sweet, I would definitely recommend going there :)
I was just in her office today. I already had my invitations but would have used her if I didnt. I'll be using her for my thank yous. Her and her assistant are lovely.
Wow! I didn't realize it took so long!!
I was thinking the same thing. I ordered my dress March 6th and still no phone call. :(
Wow it's starting to feel so real now.
So exciting!! Once the invites are put I'm sure it's really real!
I just had my makeup trial with Pamela sue makeup and I just needed to rave about her. She is so friendly, interesting and an amazing makeup artist. She listened to what I wanted and did a great job with it.... >>>
Yummy! Congrats
We went there today! It's so much fun.
Such a pain that it takes so long.
Nice! I get lost in that place all the time. It's a bit of an addiction.
My dress took 8 months ordered it January it came in August.
Magnetstreet is pretty reasonable. Zazzle, vistaprint - check them all for promo codes and you could get a pretty great price
I ordered mine in May and it's not in yet. They had said up to 10 months though (bc a small boutique). I talked to her right after christmas and it was set so ship the first week of Jan so I should be getting... >>>
Big checks, ladies! It's getting down to the details now! Ahhh.
Me too, please ?
great job!
Congrats Brides!!!!!! Have an amazing perfect day!!!
Hi I saw you had a quote for Jessica leigh! Do you mind giving me your quite? Thanks!!
I'm doing flowers in mason jars, but I will be doing every other row (mostly to save $$)
Nice job! I like the flower girl basket!
I would just do the center aisle...Every row is nice but if you want to save $ then do every other row and maybe put that money towards flowers where you will be standing.
Everything looks great!

I'm doing them but not going crazy, just a few snacks and a schedule of the weekend.
