I'm getting married in Sept 2004 - but my FMIL is going down to Greece on Sunday - is there anything I should DEFINETLY have her bring back from Greece for the wedding??? I don't know when the next relative will be going down. Any ideas?

Thanks Marcela! Please e-mail it to me whenever you get the chance.

Edited cause I put an extra 'L' in your name.

Re: Greek Brides??

this thread has slowed down the past couple of days....

first off-a big CONGRATS to Marcela for closing on her house!! best wishes and lots of happiness in your new home!

I have been on the hunt for invites for the past few days and I finally found one that i love. Originally i was going to do the boxed invites from Encore, but I changed my mind and found something i love even more.

Hey Girls!

Congrats Marcela!!!! You must be so excited. May you and Peter live a long, healthy and joyous life in your wonderful new home!!

Angela: That is great. I originally fell in love with the box invites also - and then realized 'I CANT AFFORD THEM!!!' - i found another invite - just waiting for the sample to arrive!

I havent posted as much on here cause of school and finals soon approaching - but I guess that is a good thing too - cause that means i'm kinda focusing - *LOL* - i am acutally in the middle of class now

Wedding stuff is kinda on a hold - but FH and I are going to make an appointment to see Jack & Rose sometimes next week - YAY - i'm kinda excited about that. Angela - how is your florist search going?

Re: Greek Brides??

Florist search is going pretty good. I think we are going to use Arcadia (they are located in Westchester). its still kind of early but after the holidays i have to start finishing up with the plans...only 7 months left!!!

Re: Greek Brides??

Thanks so much girls! You girls are so sweet

We picked our invites already. Now we just need to get a final list from the families so I can order the right amount. I already told Peter I am not ordering more invites b/c my or your family forgot someone. They're just too expensive. They're from the Encore Expressions of Love Catalog.

Georgia: Good Luck with Jack and Rose. We really liked him! Let me know how it goes.

Re: Greek Brides??

I am meeting Gail from Simply Elegant. Have you met with her? I think she offers 30% off list price.

Any other recommendations for invites are welcome!!! Who is everyone using?

We booked our limo today! I booked with royalty. Very accomodating, and we know a few people who used them and were very happy. FM me if you need more info on them.

Re: Greek Brides??

I used Gail for my e-party invites. She is aweome! Very nice to work with and I am pretty sure she discounts invites.

Girls - i want stefana like these - in your searches - have you come across anything like this?? (of course in white)

Re: Greek Brides??

I have a good friend who makes stefana... do you want me to ask her if she makes ones like that? What is it made out of? Porcelain flowers? Or fresh flowers?

Re: Greek Brides??

I have seen many of those types of stefana. Have you been to the places in Astoria to look?

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi girls - i havent gone looking yet - but i did look a few years ago when I was my cousin's koumbara.

I dont like the porcelain ones - i would think those flowers would look best in plastic - sounds tacky - but the ones i got my cousin were plastic and my moms were also - i'll try to post of picture of my moms-

Re: Greek Brides??

I agree-I personally don't like the one with the porcelain roses either.

Well, my mom informed me that my bridal shower is officially booked!! I can't wait!! I have no clue when it is, but I am actually hoping it is sooner than later because I know that there is a lot of running around to do in the last few months before the big day.

Do any of you girls have any ideas or knowledge about your showers??

Re: Greek Brides??

I know about my shower... it's going to be the first weekend of February!!!!!!!!! I am so excited!!! It's hard to keep it a secret when you live in the same house as your parents. My mom and sister-in-law are throwing it!
