    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : I said I didn't like matching bridesmaid dresses and no one said anything!  I was expecting some pushback - <strong>I'm probably the only person on here who didn't have matching dresses.</strong>

  • I'm not a fan of trendy dresses, either, but I think it's because I'm not stylish enough IRL to pull it off.  I also don't like pick-up dresses either.

    [QUOTE]I think she wanted to try to make it look like a "real" wedding cake.  Which, it DID.  Without fondant.  See? So, basically, biiitch be crazy.  She also told me a raspberry lemon flavored tier was "interesting," and asked if I was sure.  It was the most popular flavor.

    "interesting" obviously means "fuckyes".

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : Great thing about drinking scotch, right there. Angel, your venue will look awesome with the tall centerpieces and purple, though.  I've been to an event there with those EXACT things.  I think because your space is so different, you know?  Low centerpieces would be lost and your walls would look plain without the uplighting.  Basically, you're getting married in a club.

    <div>Completely agree. A club with apparently the best cocktail hour ever.</div>

    [QUOTE]Not all men hate pink though, or even have much of a care either way about it.  I know what you mean Rach, which does suck that people would do that. No one should defend their choices. Its just like "yup, I did that, you don't like it. Ok cool." <strong>But again, not everyone has thick skin. </strong>
    Posted by musicalsunlight[/QUOTE]

    Yeah, I don't, haha. I wouldn't attack someone's wedding specifically because I'd rather mine wasn't attacked.

    [QUOTE]A lot of people said sparkly dresses aren't their thing, and I didn't get my balls twisted.  FFS, one of my bestest TK friends (Anna) said it.  I'm not going to battle her.  It's just not her style.  My BMs are wearing nude shoes and carrying carnations.  I guarantee some of you just read that and thought "Ew."
    Posted by EaglesBride2012[/QUOTE]

    <div>Why "ew"? Nude shoes elongate your legs after all. Nothing ew about that, haha. </div>
  • I'm having sparkly silver shoes. I don't think it was mentioned the other day but I know that it has been mentioned before. I like my prom shoes. I've never had sparkly shoes before.

    Oh, and Cindy had the best cocktail hour EVER. No one else can compare.

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Evening! (early again, I know) : No matching anything?  Not even the color? I wasn't a fan of that but I've seen several now that did it quite beautifully.  If I could do it over I'd probably go the non-matching route.
    Posted by baystateapple[/QUOTE]
    Nope, nothing.  I just said "show up in a dress that's not floor length."  It was a morning wedding so not formal.  I ended up with one teal, 2 shades of taupe, and one pale pink.  They looked great!  The bouquets were ivory, pale pink, and pale green.

  • J, that cake is beautiful! Fondant tastes nasty. I wouldn't want it on my normal cake, you'd be crazy to even suggest I ruin cheesecake with it.

    [QUOTE]Starry, the cocktail hour was ridiculous in the best possible way.  I could have parked my ass in front of the pasta station all night.  Considering lemon raspberry is our largest tier, I'm clearly on board with that.

    <div>Ugh, I'm so jealous I've never been to a wedding at one of their venues. Within days of getting engaged, I had several aunts and uncles call me to tell me have my wedding there because they loved the food so much, no joke. </div>
  • Yes, Edie. But just the cocktail our.

    Angel - No one competes with Cindy. Except Bay apparently.

  • My BMs all chose the same dress. I didn't want them too, but I also didn't want them to spend 150 on a dress they didn't want. I was a laid back bride. I was also barefoot, and gave the BMs a choice: barefoot or flipflops. I know that wasn't a lot of people's style but it's my hippie style and the feel of our barn wedding. I know that's NMS for a lot of people but I really don't GaF.

    Muni, your dress is very my style. I'm jealous. Sometimes I regret not getting a short dress. I tried on a few but I fell in love with mine and it was on sale. I'm cheap.

    A friend had a shot station.  Just do as many shots of Grey Goose at this table as you want.  And when you're done with the GG, take a step to the left and try some Captain.  Most amazing table ever.

  • I never got nude shoes...but after seeing a picture of a poster (i am horrible with names...she had on a light blue wool coat and nude heels walking on the sidewalk near snow) I really started liking them.

    I bought myself a pair for a wedding and i love them...but i need to get those heel things so i don't walk out of them.

    H's cousin had that at his wedding!  It was glorious.  And by glorious I mean that Bay and every one of her ILs was nursing a massive hangover the day after the wedding.
