We began our dance lessons with Tim and Grace Ewing, of Ewing Entertainment, which are scheduled for every Friday until the wedding. Our first lesson went well, we were sent home with instructions to practice, practice, practice! As well as to watch Beauty and The Beast and practice some more. We practiced when we had [...]
Any gal who’s ever had to walk down the aisle dressed like Molly Ringwald from “Pretty in Pink“ knows that being a Philadelphia wedding bridesmaid is a tricky job. So, as a bride, take some extra special touches to thank your bridesmaid. After all…they survived all of your bridezilla moments! Here’s some ideas that range [...]
Ok: I’ve been SO busy with things, it’s ridiculous. Since my last post, we have 46 “yes”‘s confirmed, out of 90 people invited! I’ve had my first fitting and changed my mind about 6 times as far as what hem I want. It’s a freaking hem for crying out loud! (hi-lo, regular, I want [...]
We’ve all heard the bridesmaids’ horror stories: the bride that demands weight loss, chooses insanely expensive lime green dresses and asks when her Vegas bachelorette party will be held. But rarely do we hear about the brides who have done it right. So, I’d like to share with you my recent bridesmaid experience where I [...]
Because I am the first friend in my circle of friends to be getting married, no one quite sure knows how to be a bridesmaid/maid of honor. I’ve emailed dozens of “So You’re a Bridesmaid” type of articles to them, and they still seem unsure of their roles. So this what I need from my [...]

My Christmas and New Years ‘vacation’ kept me pretty busy between visiting family, dress shopping, fixing broken windows (a story for another time) and selecting a florist. Flower shopping was something that I kept putting off because, well, to be quite honest – I wasn’t sure where to start. That, and I just didn’t want to spend [...]
So, I picked up my wedding shoes, those black patent leather boots, and they fit like a dream! They’re SO amazing! And I’m SO excited! I also bought red fishnets to wear with them under my red and white gown. Invitations are stuffed, sealed and stamped and ready to go, EXCEPT we forgot to include [...]
I think that my favorite part of wedding planning has been the dress shopping. Actually, shopping is one of my favorite pastimes so the fact that I can incorporate it into wedding planning has been a bonus.
