I bought my wedding dress this past weekend at Adrienne's.. and I tried on a bunch of tiaras and viels..... I fugure I can get a tiara somewhere else cheaper but I think I need to get the viel there so it matches the color of my dress (white ivory). Any suggestions?
In terms of limos, I think I want a car for myself and limos for everyone else. Has anyone priced that compared to two limo's.. is is much more expensive?
And, lastly, I need those big high flowers for my tables.... is there a way to make them cheaper, I hear they are crazy expensive and I'm meeting with Burton's Saturday.
Thanks!

You do NOT have to get your veil there so that it matches your gown. Just wait until your gown comes in before you make a final decision on the veil. You could try Barron's in Tri-County or other bridal shops or even the internet (ebay, etc).
We had a classic car for us (an Excalibur) and an Escalade for the BP and if I remember correctly, it was more expensive than getting 2 regular limos.
Do you mean tall flowers (like Calla lilys) or the tall stands for CPs?

For you CP's why not having a bubble vase places on a pedistol

Try asking Adriennes to order you a fabric swatch of your dress. This way you can carry it around and match to any veil & tiara you find.

Tall stands... hmmm bubble vases... I'll look into that....
a swatch.... there's an idea... because I will need it for shoes as well.... I'm going there to show my mother in law to be soon... I'll ask then....
Yeah, I figured a car would be more expensive but I think I may be more comfortable than piling into a limo with my dress... it's a ballroom gown!

Re: need advice
Don't make the same mistake I did!!
Wait until you have a swatch of your dress and then order your veil (if you're ordering it from a place like Barron's).
I ordered mine in light ivory and when I went to pick it up, I held it next to the swatch of my dress and it was YELLOW next to the dress fabric. I had re-made, but I had to pay extra.
Barron's can make them in a week or 2. so save yourself aggravation and money and wait until you have a swatch.

Also, try veilshop.com. I have a funky colored dress, and work in a bridal salon, but they didn't have anything to match. Veilshop.com sent me a bunch a swatches, and had a beautiful veil to match my dress. It just came in a couple of weeks ago. It's perfect, and honestly even WITH my employee discount, I could not have gotten a better price!!!

I too got my dress at Adrienes- I found a veil I loved and it was $360- and then 20%- so it came to $288
I went to barons and she said she could kind of sorta make something like what I wanted and it was going to be $150
so the save myself the stress of maybe it matching, maybe me liking it
I ordered the one from Adreienes that I loved and I am very happy I did
