We just got engaged 7/28/07 (our first vacation) & we already have a date set 4/19/08 ~ Our reception site is Chateau Briand!
I've never been to a wedding there before but heard that it's great. Anyone have any experience there?
I have the church, reception, dress (just ordered it on Wednesday), videographer & photographer, & I'm 99% sure about the Band but we are going to see them on 9/22
I ordered my save the date magnets (still waiting for them) :)
Since we're having a Spring wedding, I decided to have a Green-Pink theme --- I am looking for green dresses but can't find anything I like ~ HELP! Did anyone see any nice green dresses???
I also need limos & flowers & decide on a Honeymoon location.... We're debating between Greece~ Hawaii~ Bora Bora/Tahiti/Fiji~Aruba~ Turks&Caicos............ I Have nooo clue ~ they all look beautiful!
Any advice is helpful as I am the first one getting married out of all my family & friends

Take a breath, lol. Welcome and congrats, your wedding is right around the corner, how exciting This site will have all your answers. YOu theme colors are very pretty. I would look into Jim Hjelm for dresses. Pedestals for flowers and Greece for your honeymoon, I go every year and cant stay away.
Thanks!!!!

Welcome & Congrats! you have gotten sooooo much done in such a short amount of time. Go you!!!! I'm sorry I can't recommend any limo companies b/c I still haven't booked one...and as for flowers...I am probably going to go with a local place by me...which is Westchester. Sorry I couldn't be of assisstance with that. As for dresses....do you know what style you want? Long or tea length...strapless or straps...etc There are lots of pretty dresses out there.
