Jade's wedding thread.

If you are planning on a red dress, I'd avoid red flowers. The two different red shades together don't quite pop in pictures.

I really really liked the bouquet with the red berries in it that you posted.

ETA: woops, maybe they weren't berries, but its pretty!!

I agree with the red flowers thing but love the red accents. Maybe reverse it like white roses and red accents in it with the red dress?


If its already been said sorry, havnt read all the way down yet and congrats Jade!
 
One thing I did..

at my first wedding (where I was the groom) was to stuff a pair of "granny panties" in the sleeve of my tux jacket just prior to removing the bride's garter. So kneeling and "using two hands" to remove the garter, I really used one hand to quickly remove the panties from my sleeve and then removed the garter. So when I stood up, I had not one but two "trophies".

Everybody thought it was funny..and the bride thought for a few seconds that I had actually removed her undergarments.

We were divorced 18 months later. Think that trick had anything to do with it?

Uh, sweetie? Yes, yes I do.
 
I love the red dress.

What season will the wedding be? In fall, you could do a brown bouquet. In spring, pink? You have options other than white. :)
 
I'd avoid black for the bridesmaid dresses. Only because the groom and groomsmen are all in black too. You'll be a red spot in a crowd of black. Which might not be too bad.

There are other dark colors, plum maybe or some other purple variation. Plum would also match the red of your dress.
 
You wanted to know what you are missing?

Photographer / videographer this is very important because you will enjoy looking back on your wedding in the years to come. Be sure to do two things: Get pictures with all relatives and do NOT let picture taking obscure the ceremony or the reception itself. Get as much of the photography done as possible before the ceremony. Candid shots are great too. So a disposable camera at each table might be fun but you want the really great professional shots too.

Food and drink: You could pass this up but it's fun to have a reception with refreshments. One word: CAKE!!! A word of caution, an open bar can KILL your budget. Don't do it! Another word of caution, you don't want to provide enough booze to be worried about Aunt Jenny driving back to her hotel that night.

Music for the ceremony This could be skipped. It's simply a matter of preference.

Music for the reception This also could be skipped. I wanted to dance at my wedding. The band that we enjoyed on one of our very first dates was surprisingly affordable. (I'm a terrible cheapskate.)

Transportation You can use your regular vehicles but depending on your family and friends you may find it's been done up for the event. I've heard terrible stories about that. You might want to have a friend drive you to and from the festivities or even rent a limo.

Other things to consider:

Good luck tokens: You know, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

Accessories: Jewelry, veil?

Engagement Parties

Bridal / Couple Showers

Bridesmaid Luncheon

Bachelor party and Bachelorette party!

Registering for gifts, do include a shipping address in the registry please.

Receptions after being married in your home or parent's home locales

Attendant gifts

Guest mementos

Wedding planner book / memory book

Honeymoon

I love red poofy dresses and corsets. I've wanted one for a very long time. *le sigh* I will confess that I love wedding dresses. I just like looking at them.

This one is lovely although I don't much like the strapless fad.

I adore a bouquet that is not only beautiful and unusual but also fragrant. That's why I insisted on having either magnolia or gardenia blossoms somewhere in mine. I had this exquisite very pale pink/off white roses too. That was an amazing arrangement. It still makes me smile today.

My weddings were each very inexpensive btw. I'm thrifty and all that.
 
Oh and don't forget the thank you notes!

License to marry too!

Oh and Rings!

Do you seriously think so? Or was it the breach of trust she created when she had promised to stop smoking and didn't?
 
You wanted to know what you are missing?

Photographer / videographer I knew I forgot to mention this- this has been taken care of. It's pricey, but it's a beautiful package that they offer. The same people will be doing my brother's wedding in the spring.

Food and drink: Big family barbeque in a friend's backyard. My father in law, brother in law, and mom's boyfriend will be manning the barbeques. There will be a cash bar, though wine will be provided for the toasts.

Music for the ceremony My best friend, one of my two bridesmaids, is a trained opera singer. She will be singing something for us, but that will be the extent of the music for the ceremony. We want simple, and most of all, short. The ceremony is a formality- an important one, but not where we want to spend our time or money.

Music for the reception In our invitations, we'll be asking people to list their favourite song to dance to. We'll have a CD of music, with everyone's songs on it, so everyone will have at least one song they like, that they can dance to.

Transportation We love our truck, so we're going to just decorate it, and go to and from the wedding in it. Or rather, he'll be going to the wedding, and I'll be coming from... I'm going to be staying with my mom in her hotel suite the night before, not at home.

Other things to consider:

Good luck tokens: The old is my jewellery- vintage Sherman crystal necklace and earrings that he gave me as an anniversary gift, which match the engagement ring perfectly. New is the dress. Borrowed I have to get, and blue will be the garter.

Accessories: Jewellery is taken care of, no veil. Flowers in my hair.

Engagement Parties I think we're going to skip this. We're seeing the family tonight, for another purpose, but that will basically cover it, and I'm seeing mom next weekend (I think to dress shop).

Bridal / Couple Showers Bridal shower is something I think the ladies at my work will be putting on for me, and otherwise, it's just my best girlfriends, sister in law, and the moms that need to be involved- we are thinking of just having it done at the bachelorette party.

Bridesmaid Luncheon This is something I'll be doing with them on a day when we do flowers, set up hair appointments, etc.

Bachelor party and Bachelorette party! Bachelor party is something my brother and honey's brother need to plan. I think it's going to end up being a LAN party, for their geekiness. The girls - mom, mother in law, 2 bridesmaids and I, will be going for a spa day to get manis and pedis done, and then will be going to get our feet hennad.

Registering for gifts, do include a shipping address in the registry please. The only thing we're registering for is our honeymoon. We've been living together for 3 or 4 years, and have everything already. So people can contribute to the honeymoon.

Receptions after being married in your home or parent's home locales We'll have one in my inlaws' house the day after the wedding.

Attendant gifts That I DO need to think of.

Guest mementos We're thinking little bags of M&Ms, or something simple. We're not putting place-cards on the tables, as we figure that we're only inviting close family, so people can just sit where they like. We'll announce the rule that you MUST sit at a table with at least ONE person you don't know... because we do want the family to get to know each other better. Only a few of the cousins on both sides haven't met.

Wedding planner book / memory book Memory book, yes, planner book not necessary. I helped to plan my brother's wedding- I know what I'm looking at.

Honeymoon Yes, we do need to plan that. We're thinking Europe.

License will be taken care of- no worries there.

My ring is a plan band, notched to fit the engagement ring. He's getting a tungsten carbide ring.

*points* That negativity out of my thread, please.
 
Season, please!?

I'm still working on the flowers.

If you're going to do a backyard bbq reception, you might want to think about changing for the party. Most of those dresses are very formal. You could do a shorter red dress? Or just say to fuck with it.

I'm going to keep the dress on- mostly because after I wear it, I will most likely sell it. But of course, I'm not sure on that.

August 30 is the date.
 
Ooh, you could so do rich fall colors for the bouquet. Will look fab with the dress. You can also make the backyard very faeriesinthegarden-esque, and the dress fits.

Btw, I used to do this professionally. Feel free to PM me with questions.

Thank you. I'm sitting here, boggled at the cost of what my brother's paying his photographers for his wedding.

His fiancee just forwarded the info with the pricing plans, and I'm like "um... that's about 50% of what I want to pay for the whole wedding!" Granted, they've invited 125 people to their wedding, and we're having a maximum of 45.

Congrats on the engagement....and getting plans started so soon!! Flowers? I think I would opt for a mixture of colours like in this photo, or failing that a good shade of lemon/yellow as it usually looks stunning with red....would steer clear of pink on it's own though as it doesn't usually go well with red.

I like the yellow idea. I may have to consider that...
 
Food and drink: Big family barbeque in a friend's backyard. My father in law, brother in law, and mom's boyfriend will be manning the barbeques. There will be a cash bar, though wine will be provided for the toasts.

When I go to a big reception I bring money for tip and in case its a cash bar. When I go to a backyard wedding I am not expecting a cash bar at all.

If its a BBQ why not just have some coolers in the backyard. One with soda/water, one with beer, another with bottle of "girly" drinks (the mojito one is really good)

I guess it all depends on how much of a drinking family you guys have. If they aren't boozehounds like my family, you may even be able to stick to the wine on the tables and just offer soda/water/lemonade

This was the year of weddings for me, I've been to 4 since June and still have one more to go to on Dec 1st.

One of them was a backyard wedding and it was the one I enjoyed the most because it was small and personal (this was the one with the coolers in the backyard). They had a tent covering the patio where the tables were set up. Each table had a little bud vase on it with a few roses in it. It was really pretty.
 
Okay, I've just done some emailing about the photography. I think we may end up using a family friend to do it, though, as she's an amazing (professional) photographer, and she may give us a break on the fees. We'd have to organize our photos ourselves, into books and stuff, but Bernadette is just awesome. So gifted.

Just talked to my hairstylist, who recommended someone for makeup, and she also recommended a florist.. though I think I'm going to use someone other than who she recommended, for the flowers.
 
omg girl slow down a bit

ur gonna have this all arranged in 2 days ... lol

my 2 cents...

I adore the deep red color for the dress, and luv the idea of a corset top with a full flowing skirt. white roses (with red tips) would be so awesome for flowers

so how many women from Lit get to be your bridesmaids ??

hehe j/k

*grin*

No one from Lit is invited.... this is going to be a family affair...

that being said, my definition of 'family' is slightly broader than many...

The ceremony will have:


Mom, mom's boyfriend
Dad, dad's fiancee
My grandma, grandpa
My Opa, Oma
My best friend (bridesmaid/maid of honour)
My brother (groomsman), his fiancee (his wife, by that point) (other bridesmaid)
Honey's mom, dad
The two guys who live with honey's parents (they're mentally challenged, and have been with the family for over 20 years- they are family)
Honey's brother (best man), wife
The couple whose backyard the reception will be held in.

That's it. And I doubt that any of my grandparents will be able to make it, due to their health. All are unwell right now.

The reception will have about 40 people at it. Small small small. Even 40 is too big for me, but there are one or two obligations that must be kept.
