Possible tiara

[Sunny Sunshine]

So yeah, I'm buying one :grin: I want to feel like a princess. I'm not getting one of those huge ones, just something small and sparkely :)

Here's what I found on eBay - it's only $16!!!

so very pretty. You definately deserve to feel like a princess.

[vinandtonic]

very pretty and the price is right :)
are you wearing a veil too?

[HoopsTer]

(((((Tiaras)))))

[Spiffy]

oh its so simple and perfect! me likey

[HoopsTer]

I love tiaras. Any excuse to wear one is good, and being a bride is the BEST excuse!
Stephen keeps telling me I will *NOT* be wearing one.
*ahem*
We'll see. I'll find something subtle with bling. :funny1:

[Sunny Sunshine]

Trav wants me to wear whatever I want. He wants me to be as happy as I can be on that day :) He also insists that I wear a veil too :) Not one with a blusher but he wants me to wear one in the back :)

So I get the bling ring I want, I ordered the tiara this morning, I'm getting a fake pearl bracelet, using my mom's pearl necklace and dying my crinoline :)

[Wende]

why do you have to dye your crinoline? I still need a crinoline. I'll brb, i'm going to buy a crinoline, right now!! :lol:

[HoopsTer]

I dont think she has to, I think she wants to. She's dying it a color- blue or purple as I recal.

Is it your something blue, Tiff??

[Wende]

does she have a white gown? Sorry, I'm a bit confused.

Oh hey, where did you get your crinoline?

[Sunny Sunshine]

I'm dying it a light purple because I want a splash of color underneath my dress :)

My something blue is my Red Sox garter :grin:

I bought my crinoline at David's Bridal. I think it was $50

[Wende]

Ah, thats different. So, will the base of your dress look violet'y? I've never heard of that, thats so cool.

[Jersey Thug]

Wende...to help you visualize :)

[Wende]

that is sooo neat. Do you do it yourself?

[Wende]

I like the blue.

[Sunny Sunshine]

Yeah either I'll do it or I might send all mixings down to Brianne and have her do it for me :lol:

[Wende]

so neat. Have you picked out your flowers already? How the hell do you know what you want? I look at all of them and I want all of them.

We go tomorrow to meet with the florist, the minister and then the photographer on Sunday. Busy weekend. :)

I really like the dyed crinoline idea. I might have to borrow it. I wonder if it'll be too much since I'll have a lilac sash down the back?!?!

[HoopsTer]

I like the dyed crinoline. I think it looks awesome :)

I think if you went with the lilac dyed crinoline it would look great!!!

as for flowers, you should look and see what is in season locally- not only is that better for the environment, but its MUCH better for your budget and pockebook!! :lol: flying pretty cala lillies in from guatamala isnt cheap!

When I get to the point of thinking about flowers....I think im going to get each of my BMs something different but in the same color palette with one comon flower....possibly taking their birth flowers and going with that color ie: maybe one is tulips, maybe one daisies, maybe one mums...who knows. I thought it was a nice unique idea though. :)

[vinandtonic]

I like the dyed crinoline too.

you can always rent one.

[Wende]

I love daisies. lots of different kinds of daisies. and a huge sunflower. :lol: Ok, that would look horrible but you get the drift as to what I like?!?

I want a hand tied bouquet that looks messy. With lots of greens sticking up everywhere. Maybe some lilacs and greens and a couple of daisy's.
Just talking out loud. SOrry!

[Sunny Sunshine]

I don't think having the sash and the dyed crine would be too much at all! Go for it!!! :)

Flowers - Fortunately I've got an uncle who just so happens to be a florist :grin: He's doing our flowers at his cost. The only flowers I'm 100% positive I want are tulips. Lilac and white. The first flowers Travis gave me (way back in 10th grade!!) were lilac colored tulips :) So I'll have those, the girls will have white. :) Anything else, I have no clue. We might just do tulips :)

[HoopsTer]

That is so friggin awesome and sweet tiff :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Tulips. I think they're beautiful and innocent.
And I love gerber daisies. Big fat pink gerber daisies. :funny1:

Terra, I love Gerberas too, but this year, they are so "in" that people are getting sick of them (kind of like you and the STD magnets :lol: )

I might mix some white lilacs in with my lilac tulips and some purple lilacs in with the white tulips :)

[Spiffy]

when my friend and his wife got married she had a simple orchid bouqet with some delicate ferns and babys breath. It was breathtakingly gorgeous.

lol I hear ya on the gerberas! :lol:
they're relatively inexpensive and really pretty, that's probably why.

Lilacs smell so so so amazing. And you're in the beginning of june, right? They shoudl still be in season, so you wont have trouble ($$) getting them!

Orchids are very pretty, but also very expensive :crook:

[Jersey Thug]

i love orchids AND gerber daisies :)

[Sunny Sunshine]

No orchids for us, but we're saving massive moula by using my uncle as our florist :) He's only going to charge us his cost on the flowers! :dance: I predict about $300 max if I go with tulips and lilacs :)

[Wende]

Will you be putting flowers on your tables or alters or cake?
I'm trying to figure out who and what and where. I go at 11am to meet with her. I'm sort of nervous because I have no idea what I want. I'm not good with MANY choices. Nope, not at all.

[Sunny Sunshine]

I'm not sure about the alter, maybe? Tables, maybe a short stem arrangement of tulips? Cake table we'll have some flowers too. But fake sugar flowers on the actual cake

[Sunny Sunshine]

The florist will help guide you, don't worry :)

[Wende]

I'm going to go in there and warn her upfront that i'm so confused and I want it all and whatever she chooses, i'll be happy. :)

[Karen]

I love tiaras. Any excuse to wear one is good, and being a bride is the BEST excuse!


I wore one for my 40th birthday party :funny1:

[georgi]

Tiff, you are going to look like a princess! :heart:

[Sunny Sunshine]

Awwww :heart: Thank lady :blush: I can't believe how close we are to it!

[Wende]

Do you dye a crinoline in your washing machine?

[Sunny Sunshine]

You can! I'm thinking about sending it down to Brianne to do it for me though. She's already said she would...

Here's the colored slip bio on the knot. It's got directions on how to do it :)
