Finally decided on Fall wedding and our colors will be Burgundy and Gold (touches of gold)
Now we need help with ideas to complete the planning process. Small wedding.
Burgundy dresses with gold sash for bridal party. Black suits for guys.
The more help with planning the better.
My wedding gown will be white with bits of gold. We are going to add white to colors.
I want to open a boutique that will sell bridal and prom/homecoming/etc dresses. I am looking for a unique name. My name is Candice so I’m not sure about maybe working "Candy" into the name of the store or not. I would like the name to be appealing to teenagers but also still bring in the brides for business. Thank you in advance! 
So, my cousin is getting married. She’s kind of… flighty (airhead, etc) so most of the planning had landed on my shoulders. Which I totally don’t mind at all, and I’m enjoying the idea. She’s set the date for March 1st. She wants a really simple wedding, and there’s probably going to be about 50 people there. It’s happening either at a secluded spot on the beach, or at our friends back-yard (depends on the weather). The reception is taking place at a hall that we’ve already rented for the weekend. Dresses, flowers, suits, hair and make-up, decorations, chairs and tables, the guy who’s marrying them, cake, catering, limos, DJ, are all sorted out and delt with. Is there anything more I need to do? This is my first time planning… so I’m not sure what all is needed. Am I done? Anything else I’m forgetting?
Also did the invitations.
I’m not getting married for almost 2 years, but I’m horrible at planning things. I don’t have the money to hire a wedding planner bc I have a small budget. I know 2 years is a long time, but when should I start looking for dresses, venues, food? When is a good time to start the actual planning? I have no clue!!
My niece is having an early evening outdoor wedding in Southern California in late June. I need suggestions for where to take my my 75 year old mom dress shopping. (I mostly shop on line for my clothes)
I don’t think she wants lacy so no "mother of the bride type dresses", something classy that she can wear again. and not too expensive.
The bridesmaids are wearing yellow/green/pink.
Mom lives on the border of Los Angeles and Orange County and doesn’t travel well so please keep that in mind for store suggestions
i am getting married a yr from may although i am already well into my planning. i am beginning to book things such as the caterer and photographer etc. some ppl think that this is ridiculously early to began the planning. am i jumping the gun? im not buying dresses or anything like that. i have the dresses picked and we have tried them to b sure they r what i want but i dont want to buy them until a little closer the wedding. mayb about 6 months before. even as far as the cake we havent put the order in exactly weve discussed w/ r baker what we want how it should look and such adn in a few months here she will do a mini replica for us to b sure its how we envision it. i always thought u were suppose to start early. am i wrong?!
The wedding will be in late june and the bride wants me to start picking out dresses now. I’m about 5’9" with an athletic body.

I have already checked that they were appropriate for the wedding they will all fall to just above my knee. Also if you wouldn’t mind could you suggest some shoe styles that will go well with the dresses. Thank You
This is long and disturbing!
My cousin is getting married on Octobe 16 and my husband was in the wedding and even rented his tux with no money back except the deposit! He is the general manager at his work. His boss would not give him Friday off for the rehearsal. The wedding is 3 hours away. The manager walked out Friday, the assistant manger got MRSA from the gym, He had also had three guys that quit using the buddy system. So he is really short help. They are going to have to find a new manager. There is no way to hire one and train him in a week and a half so my husband can’t be in the wedding. My family thinks I am behind this because I do not like the bride!!! How insane is that!
My daughter is a junior in high school and is in band. They made it to state the day of the wedding. It is 45 minutes from our home. I want to go and watch her. I also want to video her because I have been for college admissions and scholarships To make it worse it is her birthday weekend and I want to have a little party for her and take to dinner and of course shopping!! If this happened her freshman year maybe I would not be so adamant on going to her contest. It has been decades since her band went to state. Plus, with her being a Junior, who is going to say they will make it to state next year! It is a special weekend for my daughter and I. We plan on spending mom-daughter time. When she goes to college in almost a year in a a half, who is to say we will still have mother-daughter time!?
I have no why my feeling is making us feel like crap! I planned on going to the wedding. In addition to my husband getting his tux, I got myself a dress and both of my daughter’s dresses to wear.
I feel they are being selfish and throwing guilt trips on me especially saying I was behind all this!!
My fiancee and I postponed our wedding for a year due to unexpected finances. Three of my fiancee cousins step out of our wedding party due to the fact that we post poned it for a year needless to say they had purchased their dresses.Through out the wedding one of his cousins tried to take over my entire wedding. When my fiancee returned from Iraq we made deposits and went with the venue of our choice.That cousin became angry.Our postponement notice went out 3 mths before original date and everyone was still in for the following year when we notified. During the month that our original date was supposed be the family got together without me and my fiancee and two of my fiance’s aunts came over to our house to tell us that their daughters were stepping out. Mind you his cousins are in their 20′s and the only one who speaks for them are their mothers. My fiancee and I were not aware of any problems because his family does things behind the scenes.Two of his cousins voluntarily stepped out of our wedding and now expect payment for their dresses.My family and my fiance’s friends say their the ones who chose to step down we do not owe them anything. The wedding for next year is paid for. What do you think? Plus when we asked them for their dresses so their replacements could exchange them no answer just letters from their mothers asking for repayment.
When we asked them if they were still in for the following year they said yes it wasn’t till they were all together behind our backs they changed their minds three months later.we have been inconvinenced in finding replacements our other bridal members did not have any issues. Regardless the cousins won’t talk to us only there mothers also when the aunt was in our home stated being in the national guard was not a real job.My wedding had it been cancelled then everyone would have been reimbursed it was post poned.
We have been told that the cousin is the way she is and were supposed do it for the family. This family seldom called before nor really talks to us.
My fiancee has sent emails to one cousin but she has not responded.The other I stated her mother is sending us the letters but her daughter has not talked to us.The third cousin her mother informed us during the abrupt meeting in our home that her daughter sold the dress and wasnot expecting any form of payment.I will make phone calls today regarding the other two.As far as rectifying this sitution I highly doubt it..These people were kind in the begining so that is why we asked them the minute that they were in two of thier parents were constantly envolved creating a lot of unessecery drama. I can forget that because I do realize that some adults still act like children.Thank you all for your opinions it has helped me a lot. They have all stated they will not be coming to our wedding next year.
Im reposting because after i read some of the answers i called my friend up and had a heart to heart. I dont believe she is a horrible girl, she is just really selfish but what she did was horrible and i know i didnt help but i was so confused.
Here was my post:
"This past sunday was my friend’s wedding and me and my other friend were bridesmaids. The bride is friends with her too of course.
Well my friend took the brides engagement ring while she was getting ready.
The wedding ceremony was at this hall where there are rooms upstairs for the wedding party to get ready so i was in another room with some of the other girls and i didn’t know what was going on.
Later when i was on a different floor helping one of the young groomsmen with their suit, my friend pulled me aside and told me how she saw the engagement ring in this little porcelain shell on the bathroom sink and she pocketed it. I was shocked for a minute and thought it was a joke but then we went into one of the hallways and told me no one saw and that she couldn’t blame us for doing it because we are only 2 out of the 6 bridesmaids that were getting ready upstairs and she said it could easily be blamed that someone working in the hall could of seen it and taken it.
I asked why the hell would she do that and she said it was just lying around and it could easily be replaced by the brides insurance or the hall can pay for it. We had to pay 0 each for our dresses so my friend was a little pissed at that because she doesn’t have much money and the bride was bugging her to be in the wedding. She thought it was a little steep to pay for a dress.
So i was trying to justify it even though i knew it was wrong but i didn’t know what i could really do without making a scene.
I was really uneasy and when the bride got ready all of us were called together by her wedding planner and we were informed that her ring was misplaced and for us to look before the ceremony.
NO other bridesmaids knew my friend took it. We know the other girls, but were not really close with them. I felt bad because the bride was all teary and we had to stop looking to start the ceremony but she looked so upset and it was killing me. The whole wedding was awkward and the bride didn’t even show up for the reception and i feel like ****. I talked to my friend about it that night because she was staying at my apartment since she lives a little over 4 hours away and she said its over now and the bride didn’t accuse anyone so were safe and she will just get the money its worth from the hall.
I feel soooooo bad, im not a bad person. and even though im not best friends with the bride and im closer to my bridesmaid friend i still didn’t want her to be hurt. I don’t know how to make it right between both of them and i dint want to have negative feelings with either. If i tell on my friend she still wont give it back and she will hate me. And if i keep quiet the bride cant hate me because she wouldn’t know. The bride might just get another ring on her honeymoon right? Or can she really get the money from the hall? if she can replace it i would feel much better.
This is my first time using yahoo answers, im just looking for some advice.
I think she did take it because of the money issue with the expensive bridesmaid dress. I know it doesnt justify it or anything and i told her she could of backed down or complain but its not going to do anything now.
I told her we could mail it without a return address or tell the bride we found it after like in tissues or our makeup cases since we brought all our stuff there.
My friend said that one of us could go back to the hall and say we found it in the grass somewhere and the hall could contact the bride. I dont want to push her on this since i dont want her to change her mind? i had to threaten with telling on her but i feel better now that were making progress on this?
Would her plan work?
