Re: Greek Brides??

I just have to say that Basile was hysterical!! So much of what he said was true... but it is definitely geared towards Greek-Americans. My dad who is from Greece definitely didn't get all the humor.

Plus, his opening act was a guy and a girl doing spoofs of different songs with a Greek Theme. There was I won't survive and you're not Greek babe.

Very funny!!

Re: Greek Brides??

Wonderful!!!!!! I heard he's coming out with some sort of video.

Re: Greek Brides??

Girls, I finally have a picture of myself and FH on my comp - I know Marcela and Angela have pics on here - what about the rest of you?

Post pics!!



Oh and for the dates that we were setting up for coffee- Friday - Oct 17th is no longer good for me because I have an appointment to remove one of my wisdom teeth - I am so freaked out about it - I dont deal with pain too well

Re: Greek Brides??

Have you heard of anyone making their STEFANA? I went to a wedding and later heard that the MOB made them. They looked great and no one had a clue. Any ideas on where to get the hoops?
Just wondering.

Re: Greek Brides??

I saw some hoops at this fabric shop called fabric land, but its in Jersey. Maybe a Michaels craft store might also have some, or look for a very good fabric shop that interior designers might go too. I'm making my veil and the cathedral length tulle, seed beads and I still have to get a comb, but even with the comb it will be under $20.

Re: Greek Brides??

anyone else changing their mind about things they registered for? fh and i registered for our formal china a few months ago and my MIL bought us all 12 settings with a few accessories. well, last week i changed my mind about my plates. i am not that crazy about them anymore so i took them back and exchanged them for another pattern. i just hope i don't change my mind again. there are soo many decisions to make that it is driving me crazy!
here is a pic of the new pattern. it's from Vera Wang collection. pattern is called Grosgrain.

Re: Greek Brides??

Lenitsa, I think it's great you are making your veil. Tuile is such an inexpensive fabric, $1.99 per yard and it's usually 72 inches wide. I can't believe how much they charge just to gather it and attach a comb. Good for you.
I'll check for the hoops, but unless they are really nice I won't bother. It was just a thought.
Thank you.
Mary

Re: Greek Brides??

Georgia,

Cute pic of both of you. You make an excellent couple.

Good Luck with the Wisdom Teeth. It is a nerve racking experience. I went through all four at least 8 years ago and actually it was all fine. I didn't even have laughing gas and two were impacted. But truly it wasn't bad for me, but everyone has a different experience. Just think positive thoughts!

Re: Greek Brides??

Georgia...cute picture of you and your fi. My husband just took his wisdom tooth out. It wasn't too bad. He has been eating icecream all week....I swear, he acts like a little boy sometimes.....

I took all four out at once when I was in college...ouch!

I love the vera wang pattern...very beautiful.

Re: Greek Brides??

how is everyone? this thread has been very quiet lately.

Re: Greek Brides??

Yea this board has been quiet for a while....Well I am in the process of searching for a florist. I have an appt. with one next week.

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi girls!!

Wedding stuff have been put on a halt for us for now because of school for me - but i really want to get all the vendors out of the way now - just to ease my mind.

FH and I decided on Acoustical Fantasy - we havent signed contract yet but will really soon -

Next is Photo!! Fun!
I'm actually also going dress shopping on Saturday so I am pretty excited about that!!!

Angela- let us know how the florist search goes!

Irene - Did you ever go look at Eleni's for your little godchild? how did it go?

What about our GTG? We keep on 'planning' but never pans out -

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi Georgia,

I never went to Eleni's because I have been traveling for work a lot lately and i did not get the chance to go to Astoria. I had half a free day a few weeks ago (can you believe, I really have no life) and ended up going to Anastasia's on Northern Blvd. I live in whitestone and it was more convenient for me. I bought everything from there except the favors which I ordered from www.favorsbylisa.com.

Angela, I used Arcadia Florists. The owner is named Sammy and they are based in Mamaroneck.

I would love to get together with all of you too. Let me know when and where. My schedule is a bit difficult but hopefully I could work something out.

Re: Greek Brides??

Oh Irene - the favors that I want for my wedding are from www.favorsbylisa.com - Of course I am being a pushy bride and telling our koumbaro what favors we want to have - We actually are expecting to pay for them unless he really insists - The part of Greece I am from the bride pays for the favors and the part of Greece that FH is from the koumbaro pays - so it works either way - if it is too much $$ for him and he still wants to pay some we will pay the differnece of what he expected to pay.

OK - well back to my whole point of posting - - How is the website service? Did everythign go smoothly? Did you get the favors yet??

THis is that favor that I want to have - We are probably getting them boxed and having Nourfaro wrap them -

Re: Greek Brides??

Beautiful favors...I love them. The site is awesome. I found it when I was planning my sister's shower a couple of years ago. The favors I bought for the christining are the limoge-like boxes. (I'm a spazz at posting photos). I got them within two weeks. Lisa is very nice. Her wrapping is beautiful.

Good thing you are picking out your favors. My koumbaro picked ours out (he payed) and I wasn't to crazy about them. I should have just bought them on my own.

Re: Greek Brides??

Irene - one more question - did you guys have one per person or one per couple - (you dont have to answer that if you dont want)

FH and I havent figured it out yet -

We were thinking of either one per person or couple two pears ('the perfect pair' theme) and doing that as one per couple , or one pear per couple -

decisions decisions decisions *lol*

Oh - these are probably the limoge boxes that you ordered -

Re: Greek Brides??

I love those favors! You girls have such good taste!!!! Definetly good choises - all the weddings ive been too have given per person not couple - but I think that is overkill sometimes

So don't sweat it =)

Re: Greek Brides??

Nice favors girls!
Georgia: All the weddings I've been to, the favors are given one per couple.

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi everybody.. my cousin is visting from Greece so I have been MIA.

Those favors are beautiful!!! The past few weddings I went to were 1 favor per couple.

I still would like to meet up too.

Re: Greek Brides??

HI girls!!! Just wanted to say I am going dress shopping on Saturday - I am so excited!!! There is one dress I have in mind - we'll se how it goes! I'm going to Fontana's in Scarsdale -
