David's Bridal

I called David's Bridal and told them the problem. The good news is, we can still use that dress and in yellow! They said what to do is go to your local David's Bridal and tell them the size that you want and the color. They will order it for you in the requested size and in the canary. If you have any questions go ahead and call my cell or email me. I will be at my school again today, but I'll keep my cell on me while I work in my room. So, anyway-we can all ignore the last post lol!

Bridesmaid Dress Bloopers

Hey girls! There was a problem with the bridesmaid dresses: they don't come in yellow :-(. There are a couple of options and I was wondering if I could have your votes. The first option would be to get the same style of dress in the light blue. The second option is to look for another bridesmaid dress that is yellow. What are your opinions?

Other Brides in Other Places

My dear friend (and former roommate) Dia got engaged last weekend, and already I feel my involvement in both affairs being mutually beneficial.

Dia is on this website: ezweddingplanner.com which seems very handy, particularly the budget section. There's much less advertising than on something like theknot and the format is concise, but flexible. I kind of like it (even if the graphics are a little lame).

Don't worry about a conflict of interest (or availability), my other bride is planning a March wedding in Williamsburg--destination wedding. Its sort of hassle-free, once you pick a spot they take care of everything, you just show up and say 'I do'. Very small though, max 60 guests and it may be as small as 25.

BTW, the dress should be no problem for me, there is a David's really close to my apartment, I will stop by as soon as I am back from Prague. As long as you are 100% sure about the dress and the color :)

Bridesmaid Dresses and Deadlines

Hi girls! I wanted to let you know that the deadline for ordering the bridesmaid dresses is October 31st. I hope that doesn't sound too bridezilla-ish! I was just hoping to get them all ordered by then for the sake of shopping for flowers. I was going to bring a dress as a sample for matching colors. It'll be the yellow or "canary" colored one from David's Bridal. If anyone runs into any problems, feel free to give me a call or email me.

Date Changed Continued...

Hmmm, odd...the site wouldn't let me complete the last post. Anyway, we thought that the church allowed dancing because they had told us we could have a D.J. or band. I'm glad we found out about this early! I'm so thankful that we could book the Quality Inn for a date near the one we had originally had. It would have been nice it was the 27th, but that one was already booked. If you have any questions for me, go ahead and drop me an email. Sorry to change it, but I just thought it would be fun to have some dancing.

Date Changed

Hi everyone, Andy and I found out that our reception hall at the church does not allow dancing. Since we are having a band, we had to change the venue. We went to the Quality Inn today and discovered they have a beautiful banquet hall. They provide hor'dourves, salad, dinner, and desserts. I believe that they will also provide you with suites to stay in the night of the wedding reception. You get a continental breakfast too lol. It was a good package deal, and we booked Clarion Hall for the evening of June 26th. Therefore, as I'm sure you have guessed by now, the wedding date is changed to Friday the 26th. We will still use College church for the ceremony.
