Show up early!

Let me take this opportunity to share some insight and hopefully help some people out, in the future. I always show up early to weddings because well, I like to. I like to take it all in; the decor, the music, the other guests. I also like to make mental notes for future use. But, please, oh please, oh please when you are going to a wedding - GO EARLY! If a wedding starts at 2pm, show up between 1:30 and 1:45pm. The people at the ceremony site will be ready and expecting you, the prelude music will be playing and you'll get a better seat.
There is nothing worse than guests sneaking in the side door once the procession has begun. This past weekend, and the weekend before, this scenario played out at my weddings. I tell my brides that we may start a couple minutes late, ONLY because I'm waiting to get all of the guests to their seats prior to starting the wedding party down the aisle. Unfortunately, there are people who can't make it on time or early to a wedding. And invariably, I get the grandparents and parents down the aisle and then some straglers want to sneak in and mosey their way down the aisle to grab a seat. TACKY!

Patriotic Wedding Dress

Let's call this a discovery...I saw this and thought it was interesting enough to share. It could work. If I was ever in the running for Miss America - THIS would be the dress I'd want! :-)

Patriotic Wedding Dress - American Flag Bridal Gown
Great American Patriotic Wedding Gown for the patriotic bride
The patriotic two-piece gown features white stars on a blue satin corset top with a red and white striped full skirt.
Available as shown in Red, White and Blue. You may be thinking Patriotic Wedding Dress? Will it work? Until you see a picture of how beautiful a wedding dress in blue, red and white looks like. Absolutely georgeous.
Everyday marriage ceremonies are conducted across the country and brides are dressed in white, pink or off white dress made from famous designers like Viviana collection, Vera Wang, Monique Lhuiller, Melissa Sweet, Alfred Angelo, Davids Bridal and the like
But what if you are that kind of patriotic person, who just love the style and look of the American Flag and would love to have your wedding on a day like Inauguration Day, Veterans Day, Memorial Day or a Day like Independence Day (4th of July). This bridal gown is perfect for an all American patriot. The American dress is created by designer Lady Roi brida.
So if you are marrying someone from the military (navy, air force, or army) or you would just like a wedding with a patriotic theme, this dress would be perfect for the bride.

Welcome!

I look forward to sharing my work, my thoughts, my discoveries and all the other things I come across on a daily basis. There's always plenty to share.
