Wedding Details

I got my coasters today!

I thought the one was going to be red, but they're not. Kind of dissapointed.

They're nice otherwise.

So I need an opinion from everyone! My fiance is having 3 groomsman who he has already asked to be part of our wedding. I was going to have 3 bridesmaids as well but one of them had to drop out as she can't make it down at that time. So, now we're left with 3 groomsman and 2 bridesmaids. My fiance has a sister I get along really well with, and I am thinking of maybe just asking her to be a bridesmaid as well. I feel a bit weird doing that though as we aren't very close, but we do get along well. My fiance has 4 sisters and it also worries me that I would be offending one of his other sisters by asking this one ... what do you think?

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Ooh, that's a tough one.

Maybe ask him if they're jealous types?

If they are, you might not want to choose one of them... but then it'd stay uneven.

If they don't really seem like the jealous types, I'd go for it.

I just ordered the very last of my rose petals today from ebay! So now I've got purple, pink, and pink with white.

Now I'll just have to tackle the task of picking apart the remaining 3000 that I've just ordered when they come in.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Wow, that's alot of petals.

I only ordered 300

[brightskte 18]

I'm going to line the aisle with them. I've already got 6000 petals that I've picked apart, and I'll need 3000 more. So in total that'll be about 9000ish, give or take a few duds.

I agree with Rhianne. Ask your fiance how the other sisters might handle it. Or simply, ask the one you're thinking of, and then ask her how the others might feel.

If you ended up with an odd number of attendants, don't worry. I've seen pictures that way, and they were done very nicely.

Is there any other female friends or acquaintances that you've met?

3000 petals?? Will there be room for the bride and groom somewhere...

I don't think they are the jealous type -- well, most of them ... there is one in particular who might get a bit miffed about it but she just had a baby and is pretty preoccupied with that so hopefully she won't mind too much My fiance seems to think it's a great idea so that's good. I unfortunately do not know anyone else in Utah aside from my fiance's family so I am thinking his sister will be the best bet. I am not too worried about the pictures, rather just the whole "walking down the aisle" thing ... one of the guys will have to walk down on their own and that seems strange to me!

Out of curiosity which store/ebay seller did you girls buy your rose petals from? I am thinking of picking some up myself and if you have a recommendation on a seller that would be great

Oh -- one other wedding related thing ... I finally ordered my dress today! I tried it on a few months ago but just finally got the nerve to buy it today. I kept thinking I might see something else I liked more ... well, after shopping a ton I definitely have not It should get here by March 18, still plenty of time before our wedding for alterations and all that

[Rhiannercakes 14]

I got mine at: http://www.petalgarden.com/silk-rose-petals-all.htm

They seem a bit pricy, but I hardly needed any.

And show a picture of your dress!

[brightskte 18]

I got all of mine off ebay. I think I paid like $30 for all 9000.

I'm very good at catching deals!

A while back a friend of mine gave me her WeddingStar book and I found some stuff I really liked in it, so I asked Mathew to look the item up on the website to see if he liked it. Well, whenever he did, he asked me why everything was $3.98. Of course, I like flipped out and checked for myself, and sure enough it was all $3.98. So I bought my guestbook, pen, garter, ring bearer pillow, and cake cutting kit for $27.98 including shipping!!!!

But the next day I got a call from them saying the website had crashed and they needed to charge me $130 more. I had absolutely none of that and talked to the president of the company and he made them go ahead and ship it.

Yeah, I rock.

lol, when you look at them it's not that much. Not even enough to fill up one garbage bag. It just sounds like a whole lot.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

What else are you using them for other than to line the aisle? Unless the aisle is really, really long.

I'm just using mine as table decoration/flower girl basket. I havn't picked centerpieces. I dont think I'll be having any... unless my mom ends up surprising me with some.

Thanks for the seller name Kayla! I am looking at their store now, it seems pretty reasonable! And great job on getting the deal with WeddingStar ... I have one of their magazines and I have spent hours looking through that thing.

Okay, you guys twisted my arm ;P Here is my dress! The first picture is with an applique on, the second without ... I'm not sure which I like better. Thoughts?

Please post yours!
