Planning Mistake: Getting Attached to Specific Flower Types

When you book your florist a year before your wedding day, he can only guess which blooms will be available for your wedding. Choose backups to your main blooms and add them to your contract. Think in terms of colors and shapes instead of specific flowers.


Popular flowers for your special day: 

Roses

Peonies

Orchids

Planning Mistake: Blowing Your Fashion Budget On Just the Dress

Maybe you have $1,500 set aside for your look. That doesn't mean you can buy a $1,500 gown! Tack on tax, and if you're not buying off the rack, you could get charged for shipping. You might need alterations too. Consider your undergarments, shoes, hair accessories and jewelry when budgeting as well.

Princess Diana's dress was as beautiful as it was. Was over the top expensive dress. 
The 250-yard lace, tulle and ivory silk taffeta gown, with over 10,000 pearls and sequins covering its layers upon layers of fabric and an equally grand 25-foot-long train to boot, garnered plenty of attention during its world tour last year. Even though poufy sleeves went out with shoulder pads decades ago, the dramatic gown is as enchanting today as it was back in the '80s -- and you can't put a price tag on that sort of timeless appeal. So here are our calculations: Runway-worthy fabric: $43,000. A modern-day remake of an iconic princess gown: $400,000. A diamond-doused showstopper: $12 million.

Up and going

Well, this adventure is moving forward. So up and going is what we are. Ready or not. LOL! 

I've gotten our website and Facebook page up and going. Thanks to a site that was easy enough that anyone can do, it only took me a couple of days to get the website up and running. I was blessed to have found something that was reasonable in price for the website but the domain to go live its going to cost a little. That's neither here nor there type a deal, it maybe a couple of weeks before I get that so we can searched by Google. That right there will help us out more.
