What shoes should I wear with a red dress?
03
Sep
I’m wearing a red strapless cotton dress to a wedding this weekend. I can’t decide on shoes, what color looks best with red? I never wear red and I hate flashy outfits but it is a cotton dress so it isn’t over the top, think jcrew-ish. Gold sandals maybe? I can’t decide and I need help!!!
Thanks!
Are small favors usually given out at a bridal shower? What are some good, inexpensive favors?

Sep
I’m helping plan a bridal shower for a friend who is getting married in August. I’m not sure if small favors are usually given out at showers, but I think it would be cute. There will be a lot more family members present than friens, so something appropriate and inexpensive since there will be quite a few people. Any ideas for favors would be appreciated!

my friend and I live in different states and we had an argument; I am going to send apology letter with flower from florist but since she is ignoring me, I cant verify if my friend still live at the same address she gave me six month ago haha. The florist I picked does ask for the recipients phone number, do they verify the address before they deliver flowers?

My fiance and I are getting married next summer and since he proposed on the beach, we were wanting to incorporate a slight beach theme to the wedding…. Is that a little tacky consider we will not really be at the beach considering we live in ohio? We just wanted it for sentimental reasons… Also we are wondering about the colors. we need something beachy… any helpful hints or cool ideas about any aspect of the wedding would be greatly appreciated.

Question for anyone who’s held an outdoor wedding/reception…?
03
Sep
I’m getting married in March and we’re having an outdoor wedding.
I’m slightly concerned about how to have the first dance considering we’re not indoor with speakers? Wouldn’t that be awkward?
Like, should someone just use a boombox or something? That seems weird to me.
What was your experience and how did you manage the music factor in an outdoor reception?

Does making wedding favors, as part of a business, require a food handlers permit?
03
Sep
I’m thinking of starting an at home business and would really like to include making wedding favors and other party favors as part of the business. Most favors though, especially for weddings use some type of food, such as jordan almonds, rice, heart candy, jelly beans, etc
I’m just wondering if something like that would need a food handlers permit and other similar permits since technically it would be food handling. I would love to be able to seel hand made items, but if I remember right thats considered producing and doesnt fall under a home business license.

What wedding color goes best with red and gray?
03
Sep
I’m wondering what wedding color would go really well with red and gray?
The gray the groom would be wearing is (i hope) exactly like this: http://z.about.com/d/mensfashion/1/0/z/e/DavidBCFlanigan.jpg
And the bridesmaids dresses I would like to be a red silk material like these: http://www.liweddings.com/mywedding/album/i/16804.jpg
I would like the groomsmen to wear darker gray suits than the groom to make him stand out, such as this shade (could only find girl’s dress): http://manolobrides.com/images/2009/10/gray-bridesmaids-dress.jpg (Actually I love the idea of those gray bridesmaids dresses with red flowers, accents, etc, but my guy thinks the whole scene would look TOO gray if the bridesmaid dresses were gray instead of red. I suppose I agree.)
I’m not yet sure what color of shirt and tie the groomsmen would look good in to fit the theme: red shirts with gray ties or red ties with gray or white shirts…? Or another color entirely?
But my main question is: What would be a good third accent color to throw into the flowers, headpieces, etc to give it a bit of an extra splash other than just red and gray? (I will be wearing traditional white though.) I don’t want orange. My guy is set on having the red, and I’m pretty set on having the gray (at least on him). Do I even need an extra color? I want it to look beautiful and elegant yet fun and summery, if that’s possible with the colors we’ve chosen. If the dresses are red, I love the idea of gray flowers mixed with some other random pretty color (yes, I know gray flowers are somber–and spray painted–but I think they could look sharp mixed with something else) and the guys having red flowers on their suits.
It will most likely be a spring or early fall wedding, and I would like it to be outdoors, most likely in California. Any suggestions and links to pictures or examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
