Some of my pix are up! 3/16- But I have one question left...

Hi all! I`ve been away a while (getting everything in order) but I`ve finally learned how to connect my (our) scanner! It was a beautiful day! Some of my wedding pix are at www.nylyddane.homestead.com/wedding.html (The best pix are the wedding & bonus ones) Now I have one question left... I dried my bouquet, but what do I do with it now? Does anyone know any of those crafty-types that make things out of them? Oh- and if anyone wants info on my vendors (Westbury Manor, Lawrence Photo, Video Express, Superior Florist, Parameters, David`s Bridal, Royalty Limo, Dante Tuxes & a wonderful little seamstress...) let me know! Good luck to you all! Mary Anne

Very nice pictures! I love your dress!! :)! *NM*

You looked beautiful! Much happiness!! *NM*

You look great in your pictures - Mary Anne

I would love to hear what you thought of Parameters.

Mary Anne-You look beautiful & so happy!...

Congratulations to you and your husband! My fiance and I are getting married at the Westbury Manor in September and are going to be in the Manor Room. We are also using Royalty Limo's...could you please provide me any information on both of vendors...I would greatly appreciate it!

Congratulations - it looks like your day was wonderful *NM*

;-)

Your dress looks beautiful --as do you -looks like your day was perfect Laura

You look outrageous Mary Anne!!!!

Your wedding was so elegant and beautiful! You both did a great job of coordinating colors and style (I flipped over the red)! You were such a luminous bride.....you almost looked like a ballerina!! The style of dress you wore was gorgeous and suited you perfectly! Congratulations and good luck to both of you! Also, can you tell me who did your hair? I love it! I have to decide on a stylist ASAP!

You look outrageous Mary Anne!!!!

Thanks so much, guys - and thanks so much for all the great advice I`ve gotten off this site during the past 6 months of planning! I got my hair & makeup done at JAG salon in Glen Head. My sister goes to Darren there, so she set me up. He is INCREDIBLE (I never thought I could look like that), but I don`t think he travels (they are near me). Give me a day on the seamstress (my sister has her number), but she lives in East Williston and only does bridal parties- She comes to your house & does everyone at once. Her prices are reasonable and her turnaround was really fast, too. **She took in my dress a lot, I could breathe & eat & everything & I never worried about it falling. Royalty was AWESOME! We had John, who was so great that when an usher didn`t come back, he actually walked one of my aunts down the aisle! He truly went above and beyond in all areas(and I think he got our biggest tip). Oh- and the limo was beautiful, too. Westbury Manor was so accomodating- They let us come before the mass to take pix and even got us drinks & food while we were there. I never saw the other bride and our attendant Grace was a whiz with balancing our entire family during pix. I had the duck with Grand Manier sauce and it was the best thing ever! Everyone raved about the food - especially my vegan friend who stuffed herself! Eddie (Parameters) was really great dealing with our hectic sched. Not having a car or being on LI, we worked our music out the night before over a cell phone! We gave him a CD or two (the day of) for the cocktail hour (Irish music), which he played and we made our 'dances' CD too, to make it easier. Honestly, I can`t even tell you what he played most of the night- all I know is that everyone was dancing (I`m from a family that doesn`t dance)- All in all, we really lucked out - 6 mo. of planning, no real snags & only a little overbudget. One thing I would change if I did it again- I would probably have a day wedding. I was so tired by the end of the night that I fell asleep pulling pins from my hair. If anybody wants anything more specific- I can e-mail better details to you. Now does anyone know what to do with my dried roses??
