I know someone else has already posted a pic of this exact shoe, but I was in an outlet ALDO store this weekend and bought it!

 

 

 

 

 

I bought this veil on ebay for $0.99 + $4.95 shipping. I really liked a veil I tried on in an Alfred Angelo store that had beading on the edge. Would I be able to attach some crystals to the edge of this veil?

 

If so, what kind of crystals or beads should I buy? I'm not comfortable with sewing, so could I buy the flat ones and glue them on? Anyone have experience with this?

 

Thanks!

 

 

Veil I tried on:

 

I finally got around to dress shopping and bought the second one I tried on! I started at Alfred Angelo because it was just down the street from me. I had two styles that I had picked out on their website. I really loved the second one I tried on, but decided I should look a little more so next we went to a bridal consignment shop. I tried on a few there, but none compared to the Alfred Angelo dress. Since I was in a hurry to get a gown (my wedding is August 31), I went back to Alfred Angelo and bought the dress.

What do y'all think?

We're doing a cruise wedding, so we'll have the wedding on the ship before embarking, and then stay on the cruise for the honeymoon.

I sent out invitations recently and started getting RSVPs right away! Unfortunately most are people saying they can't come. The funny thing is that every RSVP I've gotten is from FI's family. Not a single reply from mine yet!

Just a heads up: Postage prices are going up May 11, so if you're pre-stamping RSVP envelopes, either use the new postage ($0.44) or use the forever stamps.

When I bought stamps for my invitations (1 week ago), I had to get $0.59 stamps so I asked for those and she gave me ones with beige background and a heart shape. I was surprised because I was expecting something much uglier.

 

HERE is the stamp I got.

 

New stamps for May 1st:

 

 

Hi Melissa, I'm also from Houston! Have you decided on a location for the wedding yet?

I agree with you. The turquoise is so pretty and will look great outdoors!

These are wedding flags that can be used for decoration or to help lead guests to the wedding or reception. My FMIL put these flags up for our engagement party. I thought they looked really nice. You can submit your own art if you want.

 

Wedding Day Flags | Welcome

We are getting married on the Ecstasy in Galveston before setting sail to Progreso and Cancun. We decided to do this because it seemed cheaper and less stressful. Also, guests can join us on the ship and leave before we set sail if they can't afford to cruise.

Thanks for the welcome. My FI and I are clueless about weddings so we need all the help we can get.

Hi, I'm new! My name is Elizabeth and I am doing a cruise wedding in Galveston August 31, 2009!
