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?

Re: Greek Brides??

Congrats! Who did you book?

I still have not decided whether or not to get a DJ? What are your thoughts on getting both?

Re: Greek Brides??

I booked with Bravo Sounds. The also did my engagement party and they are AWSEOME!!!! I am having both because I also got an MC with Bravo and also, I wanted some things (like lighting, etc..) that my band is not able to do. Also, the DJ will play the more 'modern' greek pop-songs, while the band will do the more traditional dances.

Re: Greek Brides??

Are you ladies getting good, medium, and everyday plates?

I keep going back and forth on the medium plates????? It's so hard to register when you don't know where you are going to be living!

Here are my plates:

Everyday:

Medium:

and I dont have a good pic of my good china... it is like a dark teal with gold.

Re: Greek Brides??

deby-What would u use the 'medium' plates for?

I only registered for everyday china by villeroy and boch and 'good' formal vera wang china.

Re: Greek Brides??

I really dont know I guess to throw at FH without feeling guilty!

I got 8 everyday for me and FH ... they are relatively cheap - like 80 dollars for four place sets. So I wont care if they break.

and then I was thinking to get the 12 medium for guests and entertaining - Those are in the price range of the villeroy.

And i'll maybe use the good china once a year for a holiday...

I know, it's a lot of plates!!!! I am driving myself nuts!

Re: Greek Brides??

Angela - you could try Skarla's dance school in Ditmars - i think it is next to Kentrikon Noufaro. There is also a Kalina's Dance School - i just dont know where it is.

I am only having everyday place and my good plates - both with be casual china by villeroy and boch - i know I am never going to use the really fancy fine china. We're in the process of looking for a coop now. When we buy our house that we plan on having kids in - maybe then I'll buy fine china.

Here are my everyday plates:

These are going to be our good plates:

If I were to get fine china - these are the dishes that I want they are by Bernadaud:

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi ladies!! Went out to the island for the weekend, so that's why Ive been MIA.

Beautiful plates everyone posted!

Angela, those are by Pfaltzgraff - they are called Monaco. They look kinda like mosaic when you see them close-up.

Angela, I took private lessons (me, my borther, sis-in-law and my mom) at Kalina's for my brother's wedding... it was pretty good. I can get you the address if you'd like. I also found this website. I dont know if it's any good:GAFS

I am not sure about the GTG yet... I know we've tried this a hundred times, but lets try to get together aside from the GTG.
