The Daily Something

I figured I'd just do a little mashup of some small stuff you may not think of for weddings... so yeah. Hiding The Dress From The Groom  My sister didn't mind other people seeing her dress before the wedding, but she didn't want the groom to see it and he didn't want to see it either. This was difficult because we live in a digital age... and Right when her dress came in, the Facebook app changed and was asking if you wanted to add photos from your camera roll directly to Facebook... so that was a risk. Just be very careful with that!  The Bathrooms  So in the bathroom at the wedding, usually they include things like hair ties, advil, other things you might need... the women's room is probably more filled than the mens room... but yeah. Spray on deodorant is useful, a body spray... stuff like that. I used Advil at a friends wedding because I had a really bad headache... so it is very appreciated!  Bridesmaid Hairstyles  I like Emma Watson'...

So yesterday was my first dance lessons! My family are all really really horrible dancers. Elaine from Seinfeld looks really good compared to us... so we were all kind of dreading this. And honestly... not the worst thing! I actually had fun, I think my parents and the bride and groom had fun too. I didn't have an actual partner, so the instructor was my partner... and I think I did a little better than all of them because of that... lol. My parents told me I did a really good job and I said "its because I had a professional instead of one of you idiots!" They thought that was funny. The instructor was really good too. These are real teachers and they're really really good. They'll tell you how to do something and then they'll start talking to you and you'll just sort of do it without really noticing. So that's the best way to do it. The one thing I tried not to do was look at my feet. You're supposed to look at your partner and not at your f...

Alright... so this isn't really something the bridesmaid has anything to do with... but I'll let you know anyway because there is a lot of stuff that goes into booking a venue and... its something you don't really hear a lot about... so I'm just going to let you know here. So I never realized that picking a venue and picking a date go hand in hand. Venue's get booked up A LOT so if you're going in planning a Saturday Wedding in June... not that likely to happen. The movie I think that got it pretty right is Bride Wars. The Plaza in June??? No. Not likely. And weekends are always the most popular time for a wedding... obviously so Saturdays are usually booked up. If you're having a lot of out-of- town people, Saturdays are probably the easiest... but Sundays aren't like a major inconvenience or anything. Plus the Saturday option for my sister was earlier in the day, so they would need to make sure everyone was out because there would be another wedding ...

So the venue that my sister and her fiancé are getting married at just recently had an event that was open to the public to sort of show off the venue and a lot of different wedding vendors were there. There was a flute player outside, a local jewelry store was there, some djs, florists, make up and spa things, photographers, people were walking around in dresses from different bridal shops and boutiques with their hair and make up done by the hair and make up artist they recommend at the venue. They also had some food samplings that was from the venue, there was a slider and mac and cheese bar and a wok station and people going around with little appetizers. There was like a fruit and pretzel and cheese stations, there was an open bar...a lot was going on. What I thought of The Event  I loved it! There was a lot of stuff to do and see. It didn't go on too long. The food was really really good, service was nice and friendly. It gave some ideas for dresses... my sister ...

Heyyy guys! I think I've mentioned it on this blog before, but my sister just got engaged and I'm her maid of honor and I thought it'd be cool to kind of do a blog series about being a bridesmaid and like helping with weddings and stuff to. Right now I'm going to focus on choosing a dress. I don't have my bridesmaid dress yet, but my sisters tried on dresses and she has one and I kind of thought I'd let you guys know some tips about finding the dress from a bridesmaid perspective Its not how it looks on tv  On TV it always seems like the girl cries when she sees herself in the dress and her mom cries and her mother in law cries and its all just the most beautiful thing in the entire world... but thats not every bride. I don't cry that often. I cried when I heard my sister was getting engaged and seeing her after she got engaged with the ring and everything... but genuinely I don't cry a lot. My sister looked absolutely gorgeous in every dress she tri...
