Picking colors and wedding gowns...

[Sibling DavidH]

St Andrews Church, Moreton-on-Lugg.  Lovely Norman Church, plenty of parking, village hall next door for the booze-up.

... should have said something while I was in London for the whole month of May 

............and you didn't visit me? Are you mad?

Begging your forgiveness on this instance... it was a very challenging time and ended it up evven worse... but that is a different sotry

Next time ok?

[stellinacadente]

What I want to know is... what colors, etc. stelli actually might prefer.

that is a very difficult question ...

per se, I would love to have gold and a deep shade of burgundy as my colors

BUT

I also would like to have a bouquet of sunflowwers, fiery red and purple fresias...which do not really fit...


planning a dream wedding is a pain in the....

What about the venue? Perhaps a place like the ice hotel in Norway? 

I actually chose an hotel in Long Island, NY but I am kinda having second thoughts on it...maybe I should go for a wedding in the City...

One word of advice:  Don't do the catering yourself.


(actually, I enjoyed catering my own wedding, but it's a bit funny to be greeting guests in an apron )

[Opsa]

I think that sunflowers and purple freesia would go great with gold and burgundy, especially if you're talking brocades. Those are fine tapestry colors. It would be super for a fall wedding.

Ok I thought you guys would talk me out of it... but since you want to play along with my madness 

here are a couple of ideas

stay tuned for bouquet, cake and color arrangements...

I had thought of a summer wedding to be honest, but when Opsa mentioned Fall... my heart went to it...since fall is my favorite season and I love the colors of harvest...

oh yeah... maybe I should probably need to start dating LOL

One word of advice:  Don't do the catering yourself.

NOT in a million years ... the first time was HORRIBLE (I wouldn't even define it as a wedding, but a mere formality...)

This time around is going to be BIG and posh and luxurious and dreamy

(only the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true- Cinderella )

Did you guys got freaked out by choices of gowns???

Alas, I could not view them (you must be a member to see the pics?). I wanted to post a nice black velvet as an option, but I didn't like anything I saw.

[Opsa]

I wore a black velvet minidress and my veil (which I made myself) to my reception at d.c.space- a post-punk nightclub. The toast, given by our best friend, a lesbian bartender went thusly: "AuugggggGGHHH!" Ahh, the 80's. Kooky times.
