Aren’t these love glass coaster wedding favors simply adorable? I think they make really great coasters with a touch of romance. I know they were intended as wedding favours and I know that they would not do for a male apartment, but if you are female (or a new couple) I think they could add a really nice and romantic touch to any apartment.
If you are getting married this summer, I thought I would let you know about a sale that is on at American Bridal. A good sale is always worth mentioning… so there I have told you about it.
What is really worth knowing, is that if you love Bags… then you will love their Tote Bags! They are selling them at $5 dollars. Seriously where can you get a bag at $5. And what I like most is that you can personalise it. Ok perhaps I am a bit self-centred but I like personalise things. You do pay extra (for a full name $12) but in my opinion it is worth it. You can chose the colour, style and everything, which I think is fantastic. And the best bit about it is they have a whole range of totes and bags.
And they ship internationally!!!! YAY!!!
Having spoken of weddings and beautiful things, I thought it only fair to say don’t forget your better half. Though I can guarantee that most men will not be in the least interested in the wedding dress (except if you tell them they cannot see it until the big day), you can get them to participate by choosing mens jewelry both for themselves (their ring) and perhaps as gifts for the ushers, best man etc.
After such a sombre post, I felt I needed to review something positive. There is nothing more positive than new beginnings and weddings are a perfect example of a new beginning. So, here goes….
I picked the Mori Lee website because it felt fresh and new. It is nice to see something positive amidst all this gloom. The are mainly a wedding oriented website but besides doing wedding dresses and brides maid dresses, they also do dresses for the guests (or well special occasions and party dresses). They do not unfortunately provide the occasion to wear them. You have to provide your own groom and / or party invitations. They also have a wonderful range of Prom Dresses. The prom dresses 2009 collection is really amazing. I really like the Purple Passion – pale blue tulle layered with jewelled beading. I wonder if I could get myself one for our 10th Wedding Anniversary this summer?
I liked the website because rather than concentrating on selling, they concentrate on showing off their collection which is fantastic. It gives you the possibility of choosing your dress or getting ideas without having to browse shop after shop. And once you find the dress of your dreams… because these are dream dresses… you can find a shop close to you. And I mean close to you. They have stores all over the world including the USA, Canada, Malta, England and Isle of Man (as well as in every continent). Their store finder system is fantastic too. It really brings up every country I could think of.
I think the only drawback is not being able to see prices. Mind you I am not sure this is a bad idea. You see it has pros and cons. The con of not seeing the price is that you might fall in love with one out of your budget. The pro is that you have a wider choice of dress which can give you a better idea of what you want.
As for the flower girl dresses…. oh how sweet!! They are perfect. Some can also be used for holy communion dresses too or as party dresses. If I had to do it all again… I would go crazy for this site especially considering I had bridesmaids from all over the world. I could have seen the dresses in Malta and everyone tried on the dress in a shop close to them. Ah well…. Maybe I could save my sister some effort!!
I thought that this was so romantic that I could not help but share with you. It is a “love beyond measure spoon”.
I am thinking of getting my hubby one as a token Christmas gift but I suppose they could also make unique wedding favors. Do you reckon he will get the point bearing in mind that he is a man?
I was recently asked for suggestions on Unique Wedding Favors. At first I was stumped! All I could think of were the traditional sugared almonds. Each almond being there to represent:-
But then I thought back to when I got married… and realised that besides the sugared almonds, we had also given a tiny Ceramic Bride & Groom TeddyBear on a moon which we personalised. I think some guests still have our souvenir!
There is nothing I love more than organising a wedding. The fun of shopping that goes with it is endless. The money for shopping that goes into it… huge! The amount of wedding ideas that I have are endless.
Now to talk my hubby into renewing our vows ….
The wedding season is nearly upon us… and I have already been invited to a wedding. So I started searching for something to wear. Never easy and this wedding perhaps less so. But I was actually very surprised to find that M&S are doing bridal wear. Ok I guess my problem was I was looking for “Clothes” and “Wedding” so it serves me right coming up with wedding and bridal wear. But I must say I am very intrigued with M&S having a bridal section. I never actually saw any wedding clothes in store. Clothes suitable for a wedding yes…. but actual bridal wear… Interesting!
