Table Linens have Arrived.

They're here, and I'm so excited. It really feels like i'm getting married now. Thanks to the heads-up from Bride on a Budget, I learned about a linen sale from Linen Table Cloths and I decided to check it out. I got 11 round aqua (called turquoise on their site) tablecloths, 11 white satin overlays, 1 white cake table square tablecloth, and 1 rectangular tablecloth for the sweetheart table all for $119, free shipping, no tax. That's unheard of. All the sites I had checked before were so expensive. I was really excited and couldn't wait for them to come, well today they did.

These are the white overlays, still in the plastic and


the aqua polyester ones. I can't wait to do a mock up of my tables.
Did anyone else order from them besides Bride on a Budget and I?

Well, TTFN (ta ta for now).

My E-Ring

Weeeeeeee! So in spite of all the planning i've been doing , I didn't yet have my ring. You see, to be honest I didn't think I needed or even wanted one. I figured we already live together and have a son so we were practically engaged. Anyway, I always saw me wearing only one ring. I love jewelry but I can't stand it on me once I enter the house, so I figured the less the better. We discussed getting married very casually so I didn't think too much of it. So you can imagine my very pleasant amazement when my boo boo got on his knees at his b'day party and proposed in front of his mom, sister and her family, my sister and family and brother and his wife. (It was a small Party).

So without further ado, Ta-Da, I was trying to take the picture for you in a pretty way like in a flower or dish or other great display but it was just not to be. You couldn't even see it so I took it off a website. Ok, ok here it is...


Isn't it to die for. I mean it's just perfect and I tried it with my band and they fit (you guessed it, perfectly).

Forgive the hand, needs a little lotion but focus people, look at the ring. Oh I love it and love him for it. Now that I have it, I couldn't possibly see my finger without it. The band by itself would just not look right. Not on my hand anyway.

Please ladies, tell me what you think. TTFN (ta ta for now).

My Best Friend's Wedding (II)

Remember I told you about my friend's wedding yesterday? Well... where do I start. It was really lovely but sooooo much work went into it since the wedding was planned in only two weeks. You see the thing is she had decided on a 2010 fall wedding but because a host of reasons, they had to push it up, way up. She had one of the those set ups where you get a blank slate and do everything yourself. The church and the reception hall had to be decorated, food stations, cake, gift area, favors, bar and virtually everything in between had to be set up. I got there at about 4:30 pm on Saturday and nothing had been done. We didn't leave until 2pm and still there was so much left to do.

And on top of that, when the cake was being transported, it fell and broke in half. Luckily the bride is a baker and was able to repair it with her little box of tricks, but can you imagine the stress factor? This was a complete DIY wedding and a lot of stuff was done the day of the wedding in spite of the fact that it started at 11am on a Sunday. I am so tired right now and I can imagine how the other helpers feel (and there were many) considering they started long before me.

But i'm happy to report that all's well that ends well and the most important thing is that she woke up in the arms of her husband the next morning and isn't that what really matters?
Here are some pics, I apologize in advance for the quality or lack thereof.


You can kinda see the aisle a little from this one.


This is a glimpse of the front of the church and the alter. you can also see the unity candle lit here. I was so busy trying to coordinate everything that I didn't get a chance to take many pictures but she should get hers back soon so i'll get to see my work in print.

Has anyone done anything like this and if so how did it turn out?
Well as always, TTFN (ta ta for now).

My Best Friend's Wedding

Actually, she's not my best friend but a very good friend is getting married tomorrow and she asked me to help her decorate her reception hall. I'm a bit nervous about this since it's someone else's wedding and I don't want to mess it up. She's admitted that she doesn't really know what she's doing so it kinda all rests on me.



Her colours are ivory and olive (green). I just hope i'm able to do something that she and her guests will be happy with. I guess this is my test run, considering how much i've blabbed about being a DIY guru. I was just kidding people, I ain't no guru!
Well wish me luck ladies, and as always TTFN (ta ta for now).

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Happy New Year everyone! I wish for all of you, a wonderful year that's even better than last year. For all of you getting married this year, Mazel Tov!


TTFN (ta ta for now).
