African American Weddings

I Wanna Scream... Vent and Check

So I decided a long time ago to pay for all the BM's shoes to get dyed to the correct color.  It would've been so much easier to get the shoes from David's Bridal but due not finding the right size and type we went somewhere else. And they don't dye your shoes unless you buy shoes from them.  So I send them off to dyemyshoes.com and I receive a call letting me know that they can NOT dye the shoes due to the type of shoe is not going to take the dye correctly... WTF!!!  So I'm pissed.  Well I decide that dang it I'm done with trying to do this shoe stuff... So I buy some shoes for everyone from DSW.com and call it a day!! 

Receive an email from the venue letting me know that we CAN NOT have open flame candles at the ceremony and reception.  Well there goes my candle ceremony and my inspiration and thought for my reception had candles everywhere.  Now I'm going to have LED flames... Embarassed

On a BRIGHT note... We finally made a decision on our honeymoon spot... well a couple of spots... Carnival Cruise to the Carribean and Mexico!!

Re: I Wanna Scream... Vent and Check

  • Just an FYI about your candles...even though your venue doesn't allow open flame doesnt mean you cant have candles. My venue said the same thing but will allow candles as long as they are in something (votive candle holder, pllar, etc.) I'm having floating candles for my ceremony and reception. Just a thought :) But congrats on choosing your honeymoon destination!

  • Luckily you still have some time to search for shoes for your BMs :)  Congrats on the honeymoon, sounds fun!

  • Oh my! I'm sorry sissy poo! Good thing getting the hm out the way though.
    Wedding Countdown Ticker Simply Fabulous!
  • Yay on the honeymoon! Boo on dyemyshoes.com.  Glad you found something better on DSW (they have better stuff anyway!!)... 

    Maybe you can do something other than the candle ceremony (sand ceremony, unity cross?)
