Another option that you might consider, find a beautiful wedding dress, show what you want to a seamstress and have her recreate it at a lot less cost.

The bride with the shopping cart picture is too cute and funny! Kudos to the photographer for having such a great sense of humor…not to mention that the dress is gorgeous!

It’s very sad when bad pictures happen to good people.
Unfortunately this happens very often, since wedding photography is treated by many photographers only as a business not as a creative pursuit.

Another suggestion on getting a better idea of the abilities and creativity of your wedding photographer is to ask to see all pictures from an entire wedding, not just photographer’s portfolio of select images from various weddings.

A lot of photographers promise that they can deliver pictures in any style you want, but unless you see samples supporting these claims, don’t believe them!

Whether hair is straight or curly, it might be hard to style in the summer because of all that humidity. Many brides-to-be are faced with daily frizz, and fly-aways. It’s best to not fight with your hair, but instead treat it with love and care. Smoothing conditioners will seal the hair cuticle and prepare it for styling, while smoothing serums will tame stubborn fly-aways. There is no point in piling on product that will leave your hair oily and limp. Less is more is key for maintaining your style throughout the day, and a little hairspray will be sure to keep your tresses in place.

I’m so sorry to hear that you had a breakdown! Here’s another tip I would suggest from my sister’s wedding: chat with the photographer before the event about which individuals to be sure to get pictures of (grandparents, cousins, etc.). With email you can even show him their faces before the big day!

Comment on Print Your Own Letterpress Invites by Jessica

Jessica — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 15:20:17 +0000

How awesome! As someone that printed my own invitations, I know that being able to rent a press at $20/hour is a steal – and pretty unusual. I’m in Seattle, and no such thing exists.

Also, Boxcar Press is awesome, but there are arguments in the letterpress world about polymer plating versus magnesium with wood backing. Both will cost about the same for a custom plate, but the magnesium/wood setup will lock into any press that’s large enough. That way you’re not reliant on your studio having the Boxcar base, which can be pricey.

I know that’s wordy, but I hope it’s helpful!

I love the color blue, very light and heavenly. It is really a challenge to prepare for your own wedding but hey you’re happy right so no problem! I was just looking around blogs for a good wedding paper to use for my invitations then I stumble upon this blog and I think I’m getting good insights for my own wedding. Thanks!

Or you could go to Bottle Your Brand, you can make totally custom labels using their site and I think they’re less expensive…

Comment on Kosher Wedding Cakes by Jewish Wedding Music

It may not be traditional but then again neither is having your whole extended family walk down the isle. Certainly an American custom but one people like and have borrowed. Why not a wedding cake?

Comment on Kosher Wedding Cakes by Tamara

The wedding cake is not at all within the Jewish tradition. Most Yeshivish couples and Chassidic couples do not have a wedding cake, and they, certainly, do not make a ritual out of cutting the cake and feeding it to each other. We have our own rituals which should be appreciated for their meaning and beauty. Would you suggest that kallahs should start throwing their bouquets to their friends or remove their garters at the wedding?

Comment on Chosson Watches – Part 1 by Moshe

Moshe — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:58:22 +0000

Forget about overstock, http://www.bidz.com, has rings too.

That said, I’m very much against this idea. Not only does it add to the already insane wedding prices, it’s not even something essential and would make a better wedding anniversary gift than a wedding gift.

What are good wedding gifts from kallah/kallah’s parents to chosson?
1. Talis. At least one. Can also give a separate shabbos/yom tov one with bling. I have regular black and a blue one for shabbos/yom tov.
2. Talis bag.
3. Kittel.
4. Shas. Though better to wait until one of Artscroll’s sales instead of paying full price.

These 4 are useful things that the guy will actually need. A watch, he already has.

I’d always go for diamonds even if it’s only for one night. real is real, I can’t think of wearing glass. I’m actually borrowing these really beautiful earrings from my aunt for my wedding.
