Does anybody know of where that I can get inexpensive pearl neaklaces for my BM's ?



Do you want real or faux? If faux and you're trying to cut costs, then try:

Gems

I have to make an appointment for my hair trial. Tarale was already booked I bet one you ladies who share my date stole her away, lol. I also have to make my makeup appointment. Any advice for those of you who have done those things. Should I do them on the same day? I live in the city it's tough for me to get out to LI. Good or bad idea?

Sue, Wow you were so productive today. I had to cancel my hair trial this evening b/c of the snow. I am sorry that I can't join you for your dress 'try-on/fitting.' My dress will not be in the store until May, sniff. But when ever I pass the store I always want to drop by and see it's 'cousin.' Lol.

Missing everything.....

Have my dress,veil and tiara. Hall & Church. That's all.

I am still looking for BM dresses - went to a million stores and having problems because two of my girls are not small and I are not happy with they way they look in most dresses. Still trying to find something everyone can be happy with. NO limo's pictures or flowers.

Did get STD cards and they are ready to go out...

Favors- ?
Need Chair Covers
Need Ring Pillow

Tuxes, invatations, flower girl dresses...

OMG

Re: Where are all of my AUGUST 05 Brides?

So how is everyone doing?
I booked my OOT block of rooms
Booked my first night bridal suite

I think I found my photographer. I have an appointment with a videographer this Tuesday and we shall see.

I went looking for invites with my mom today. She purchased personalized stationary for me b/c she was upset that I had been sending my thank you notes on crane's stationary that did not have my name. ***?? I humored her and picked personal stationary that is really similar to what I already had - this stuff just has my name on it.

I think my mom found her gown and next week I am going with my FMIL to look for dresses for her.

I hope that everyone has a great weekend!

Wow I know time is just flying I do not want to post a list of things I need to do today because it will jsu get me stressed out but lets just say I got alot more to do.

Re: Where are all of my AUGUST 05 Brides?

There's a ton to still do but most of the things on my list can't be done right now. I can't print menus or programs until my church and hall finalize them with me.

It's a bit early for addressing all my invites and i wanted my dress to come in before i bought my veil and shoes.

I hate waiting around to do things. Feeling very unproductive.
