Boquet using beads, broaches,and ribbon. The 'stems' are not wrapped yet, you sre seeing white tape. THOUGHTS?

Thanks! I do floral design for weddings..and have pics for everything!!

I never thought i would go there either...but then i think about how a less expensive dress means more days in paradise, it starting to seem more appealing!

Thats aweome! I am originally from the Jersey Shore...my lease is up in May and i am hightailing it back to the beach ASAP!!! I like Philly, but my heart is in NJ

We live in Old City!!! We are practically neighbors, how cool!

I love reading your review and seeing your pics!!! Gets me super excited!

Congrats! the ceremony site w/the flowers are gorgeous!

UPDATE I e-mailed the MAID OF HORROR asking if the bride knew about said if i was the bride i would want to know about it this. Well, got a response were she talked to me like i was a 5 year old saying they were just going to have the guests fill out the envelope (duh) and not actually write out thier own thank you (duh). I still feel this is really tacky, but being that i am the only bridesmaid who doesnt live in the same town as them (they all live in NJ where we grew up and im 65 miles away in Philly, apparently my opinion doesnt matter. The whole shower is tacky, black and white balloons on tables (what is it an over the hill party now?) Im a floral designer who gets flowers at costs and i offered to do the centerpieces and pay for them and i was shot down. I'm over it. I tried. Im just gonna keep my mouth shut and come March put on my awful spaggeti strapp dress (freezing), and walk down the aisle for the bride and thats it. Oh, and i will totally show of my awesome engagement ring the whole time since they are all talking about it anyway! Ok...im done being venting and being spiteful now.....lol.

I did ask and he is cool with whatever i want ! But everyone else i talked to (friends & fam) say dont bring him. Everytime i show him a pic of a dres he replies with, "I'd have to see it on you". So i may show him some pics to get a general idea of what he likes (long, short, poufy,not poufy) , but go shopping with a close friend and (eeek) my mother.

Whoops! mistype! going for Jan. 2012!!! i cant believe you lucked out like that! im hoping to book the room this dec/ jan...hoping to get the 4pm time slot. I hope we do. I would thin 12 months would be enough time, andwe are also really flexible on dates, so maybe that wil help. We haven't actually set an exact date b/c of airfare....can book airfare til Feb, and we want to get the best deal poss. The time slot is my only worry!

Hey Jerri-lee! I adore your dress!!!! Who was it by? I have been searching the net for cute tea length dresses but nothing has caught my eye!!!

Your wedding is in two days! Hope you write a review and post pics!!!

I know what you mean! I love them all!

How far in advance did you have to book to get the 4pm time slot? We are planning a 1/2010 wedding...so it is to early to book our flights to set an exact date b/c we want to get the best deal on airfare and our dates are flexible. We really want that 4pm time slot though, so im wondering if i should book my room sooner to reserve the time. My TA said if we book the room but end up changing the week she can attach that time to the new wedding day. Very confusing and the only source of anxiety for me!

Floral and event designer specializing in high end wedding on the Jersey Shore! Love my job!

Candy bars are great!! Always a huge hit!

Hot glue the starfish to multipe strands of raffia, then simply tie around the chair.

Love storybook love...but the best part is one minute in so might have to edit it. Great website i found.... http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/wedding-songs

Love Happy Together! Great idea!

Great advice! I am gonna tlk to him and see if he wants it to be a suprise...maybe he cares more than i think!! I will keep you all posted!

So I am a bridesmaid for the first time ever in my friends upcoming wedding (not destination). I got an email today from the MOH saying she was going to pick up thank you cards so the guests at the shower could adress them themselves!! I have never heard of such a thing! Is this something that is going on that i am totally unaware of? I feel that the bride should be aware of this because it will look negatively upon her in the long run. I mean how long does it take to write out an address anyway? Did you guys have this done for you at your shower, how do you and your guest react? A thank you goes a long way, and having a guest do have the work is just not for me i guess. Am i out of the loop big time here or what ladies?
