Re: Greek Brides??

Ugh now I'm torn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What side of the hands will your FIs be wearing his vera on?

Oh Angela - Thank you! YES I LOVE THE DRESS!

Re: Greek Brides??

Right hand.

Re: Greek Brides??

Mike will be wearing his on his right hand once we get married. For now he doesn't wear it. Actually now that i think about it I guess he could wear it on his left hand ...hmmmmm

Re: Greek Brides??

Angela: Peter says he doesn't like to wear it sometimes b/c all the non Greeks constantly ask him why he's wearing a wedding band if he's not married. He gets annoyed I told them all you have to say is 'It's GO tradition.' It's 4 words, how difficult is that

Re: Greek Brides??

LOL Marcela!!

Re: Greek Brides??

My FI explains it all the time! It gives him pride lol He's so happy to be getting married!

Re: Greek Brides??

LOL

Re: Greek Brides??

Ok this thread basically started with this question but the time has come again to ask it lol

FMIL is off to Greece again - what should I tell her to bring back. I told her to check out cake cutting sets, but what else. Stefanothiki, stefana and all koubaro stuff will be bought here.

Any ideas?

Re: Greek Brides??

Jewelry maybe? If you plan on giving the koumbaro a bracelet or jewelry as a gift - just a thought...

Re: Greek Brides??

We wear our rings on the right hand side. I used to wear my engagement on the left and then switched it over to the other hand once I got married. My husband did not wear his ring until after we got married.

Re: Greek Brides??

No idea what we want to get him! Ugh lol

We passed by a place on Ditmars today called 'Eleni's' to look at favors and what not. Really liked that place A LOT! Anyone hae any experience with them?

Re: Greek Brides??

Eleni's does have beautiful favors and I love the way they wrap them! They are definitely unique - The only thing is that they are pricey - I went looking with FH when he was koumbaro for his friend - he ended up getting them from Markella's on Ditmars. The only thing I didnt like about the way she presented her items was she put down anything that wasnt expensive- she pointed out the nice unique ones and then pointed to 'the typical ones that everyone is getting'....I didnt like the lambades that she had - Just my taste though - I am probably using kentrikon noufaro for lambades bec I love the satin roses that she makes by hand! I am probably going to buy my future godson his baptism clothes from Eleni's...they are all too cute!

Re: Greek Brides??

I just started looking at stuff - I went by myself and I know I gotto bring koubaro too. As long as he agrees with me, everything will be fine.

Re: Greek Brides??

Where is Eleni's located? My husband's cousin and his wife asked us to baptize their daughter and I would like to go and look for lampathes & favors. This is my first time, so I am a bit clueless. Can you buy the outfit & shoes from the same place?

Re: Greek Brides??

Eleni's is right off Steinway on Ditmars. They have shoes and clothes there - I don't know about all of them.

Re: Greek Brides??

Irene - I dont know the details of it - but when i did go looking for boubounieres - there were clothes and shoes there - A couple was looking at the clothes and I fell in love with them - they are all too cute! Definitely take a look!

Re: Greek Brides??

Georgia - I was looking through an old Modern Bride Magazine and they had a whole segment called 'Peaches and Creame'. Now I know your theme is pear, so you might want to look at it if you can get yoru hands on it. If you can't, let me know and I'll scan and email it to you.

Re: Greek Brides??

thanks girls...I will take a look this weekend.

Re: Greek Brides??

Thanks Olga! Do you know which issue it is?
