What shoes should I wear with a red dress?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 08:52:04 +0000

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?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:58:45 +0000

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!

do florist call and verify the delivery address before they deliver the flowers?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 07:31:56 +0000

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?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:13:55 +0000

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…?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:13:53 +0000

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?

I made little pink rose shaped soaps and put them in tulle bags as favors for our May wedding.

Does making wedding favors, as part of a business, require a food handlers permit?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:13:20 +0000

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?

Editor — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 01:38:04 +0000

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!
Sorry, I’m not sure why the links didn’t stay clickable.

Kids at a wedding??? Cameras too!?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 22:56:25 +0000

I just wanted to take a poll as to who is planning on having kids at their wedding and who is not.

I also will say that I think it’s RUDE to not include family in such a joyous occasion and this includes children. The key to having kids at a wedding is to simply keep them busy. We made goody bags for all the kids who came to our wedding (except for 2 infants), in total it was 23 goody bags. They included a bunch of crafts and an activity book we downloaded for free off the internet along with a box of crayons. But, the best thing we did was give every child ages 4+ a camera and a scavenger hunt list. The kids, as well as their parents were so into it. It really made the kids feel like they were a special part of the wedding. We put things on the list such as: take a picture of the bride’s hair, a centerpiece, the bride’s shoe, your parents dancing, somebody making a silly face, somebody under a table, your meal before you eat it, the groom and his mom, the bride’s something blue (mine was appropriate), one of the bridesmaids, the parents of the groom, the parents of the bride,etc. EVERY camera was returned! My mother had all the film developed into double prints and sent one copy to the child who took them, and if they completed their scavenger hunt list, they got a prize! She mailed them a gift certificate for an ice cream sundae. Believe it or not, some of the pictures came out really awesome. My only regret about it is that I didn’t put on the directions to make sure you use a flash, but with the technology of computers, we were able to fix most of the pictures!

As for the infants, I didn’t hear a single cry. There were 2 babies under a year old at my wedding. I strategically sat the couples with infants close to exits, just in case the child started acting up. Not only were the infants well behaved, but all the children were as well! They were all so into their scavenger hunts, they didn’t have time to do much else!

My wedding was a HUGE success and I wouldn’t have had it any other way! Having all of my little cousins there meant the world to me.
I don’t have children of my own, but I view weddings as the unity of 2 people AND THEIR FAMILIES. I just feel its wrong to discriminate against family members because of age. In the end, it is the couple’s decision. People do have a right to exclude family members, but the couple also should realize that people also have a right to be upset by this.

In old times it was required to have children attend weddings, which is where the modern ring bearer and flower girl ideas come from. Because people did not keep records of marriages, as they got older, they needed the children who attended their wedding years before to vouch for them to say they are in fact married.

What kind of jewelry could you give the (step) children during the wedding?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 21:27:48 +0000

My finance has three middle school age daughters who will also be participating in the wedding by being my bridesmaids and during a sand ceremony. I know it used to be the thing to give jewelry during the ceremony, but I don’t know what to give them. I thought about their first initials, but that doesn’t seem perfect.

I need some ideas for a wedding guest book?

I don’t know what to do?!?!?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:46:15 +0000

So my FH just told me that he isn’t ready to get married. He said he was thinking about everything financially and his insurance is going to ‘sky rocket’ when we get married and I get on his insurance. Plus, I had a ovarian tumor two years ago, so that causes me to get check ups a lot and I have to go to the hospital quite a bit for other things. He said that because of all of that, a lot is going to be coming out of our pocket than it is now. (My parents have great insurance, so they still have me on theres because it covers me better. I pay them my share, but its still extra cheaper because its through my mom’s work, and co-pays are much lower).

But I think that he is just being ridiculous! I understand that it would cost money, but I pay for it anyways. I’m ready to take the extra step in our relationship, and I thought that he was too. But this is the only excuse he has. We haven’t set our wedding plans in stone, so should I just forget about getting married right now, until he is comfortable and gets out of this phase? I don’t know what to do. I can’t help but take this personally. Any words of advice?

My fiance and I have chosen to have rubber ducks as favors at our wedding, how should we personalize them?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:24:56 +0000

My fiance loves to collect rubber ducks, so when we found these bride and groom rubber ducks in an Oriental Trading catalog we knew they should be the guest favors at our wedding next spring. I was thinking that maybe we could write our names and wedding date on the bottom of each duck. I just wanted to know if there are any other ideas to personalize them.

Does anyone know where I can get good Black and White wedding Invitations for cheap?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 18:11:32 +0000

My Fiance and I really love the look of Black and White for our wedding. We want to get a really classy look but we don’t have much money, as we have just bought a house and we had to put down more deposit than we thought. So we need to save money where we can. But I would really love to have classy printed wedding invitations in black and white to match our bridesmaids, and reception table decorations? Black lace table runners with pink tiger lilies in clear vases with white marbles.
Does anyone have any ideas? I’m stuck and haven’t found any wedding invites I like yet.

The perfect LGBT wedding?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:52:43 +0000

My girlfriend’s best workmate and his fiancee had the wedding I wanted, or would want, if I wanted to get married at all (I don’t d: ).

They had a civil union ceremony to avoid the heteronormative, patriarchal overtones of a “traditional marriage”. They basically invited all their friends to the ring swapping and name changing ceremony, both taking the same last name as a gesture of them uniting, so they get to have the same last name without her taking his name as if she were his property.

The only thing better would be a vegan wedding cake to go along with it.
(Ellen DeGeneres and Portia DeRossi had a vegan, red velvet wedding cake.)

My friend Jacque has agreed to be my celebrant in the case of a sham marriage, and it would pretty much consist of the above.
Anyone want Australian citizenship? LOL

BTW, does that acronym make sense to Americans? Do you guys have Jaffas over there?

you’re gonna give me a haemorrage in my “romance” brain lobe

Is it ok to wear red to a wedding?

Editor — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:14:44 +0000

I’m going to a wedding this weekend and my dress is red and black. I’m wondering if it’s ok to wear?? Also, I’m not sure if this matters or not, but it’s a traditional Mexican wedding — the only reason I bring that up is because I was told they don’t have the same “don’t wear black” rules as is typical in America, so maybe the “red rule” is different too? I’m just not sure… thanks in advance!
