Your Thoughts, Your Answers:
Anyone plan on doing any DIY projects for your wedding?

real housewives

I have to admit a new "guilty pleasure" of mine. A week or so ago, I landed on the Bravo Channel. I never watch tv during the day, but this day I did. It was a marathon of sorts..., "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." I was hooked. Then right after that was "The Real Housewives of NYC." Hooked again.

I felt so guilty watching these real women and their real problems! Cat fights galore and some of the most outrageously bitc%y behavior! So unlike me and my friends. I'm sure NONE of the women on these programs would like me!!!

My question to you is..., what kind of "real wife" are you going to make?

The Perfect Palette

I recently asked The Perfect Palette to do an Inspiration Board for My Island Wedding. Nantucket inspired, not Caribbean... Casual Elegant..., colors up to them.

This is what they came up with.

I just can't believe it. I need to be this bride and have her wedding. Well, I had the best wedding/day of my life in 2001 on Block Island, Rhode Island. It looks much like this with Lighthouses, seafood, beaches, and of course The Lovely Bride!!!!

(I am having trouble "squeezing the board" to fit this post..., check it out for yourselves...)

The Perfect Palette does requests for future brides and grooms too so check them out!

Let me know what you think... leave a comment:

1.. "Casual Elegance?"
2.. or "Formal All The Way?"

Your Thoughts - Yours, Mine or Ours?

Is a Toaster Oven really a gift?

I guess it is if you registered for one. Not if you've been married 7 years and your husband buys "you" one. Isn't it really for "us?" You eat the toast too, don't you dear?

Love you anyway. Thanks for the gift.
It really does look nice.

Your Thoughts - Wedding Organizers

OK, I am in the process of designing the "Perfect"; "Ultimate"; "Complete"... Wedding Organizer. Don't they ALL claim to be these things? They turn out to be pretty, but kind of impractical, flimsy, and not really perfect, ultimate or complete.

Lot's of photographs, pink pages, and cardboard!!!

We all get/got our photos from the gazillions of wedding magazines we buy/bought, right? Do we really need more in our organizer? No.

Would your fiance be caught dead carrying it? No.

Could we ever really use it again in our after married lives? No.

Please leave a comment here with any of the functions you DO like in your Wedding Organizer, and those that you DO NOT. This is for research purposes people! Be honest!!! And thank you in advance.

My Island Wedding Organizers to be available in 2009.

Your Thoughts - Smelly Stuff

OK, I need some advice. I think my allergies have gotten worse over the years. I can't use perfume, my husband hasn't worn after-shave since 1994, and if I use hairspray I have to hold my breath and run out of the room...

But that was the extent of my problem with "smelly stuff."

Now I think I am sensitive to the smells in my shampoo/conditioner, my facial cleanser, and my soap. Have they gotten more smelly over time? Or is it me?

Can anyone recommend COMPLETELY PERFUME FREE products????

Thanks for your help! (Aaaa - Choooo!!!)

Your Thoughts - How to cut the invite list?

OK..., we have an email from a bride-to-be who desperately needs to cut her invite list. The place where she wants to have it just cannot accommodate as many people as she feels obligated to invite. She also knows that some may be insulted at not being invited.

Hmmm. How does she cut her list? Any suggestions?
