Natalie, I have size 10W feet too so I feel your pain! check out Zappos.com - They’re pretty expensive but they have the biggest selection of women’s shoes in wide widths. AND you can search by a combo of size, width, color, heel height & style. I found these searching for women’s dress, 10W, blue, 1.5-2.5″ heel - I love them so much I might get them for my own wedding now (in gold)!

is there a good place to rent a wedding gown and bridesmaid dresses in orange county or LA area?

sandy - that question was posed in a previous beehive here - http://www.weddingbee.com/2007/03/06/beehive-124/ and several readers chimed in.

there are quite a few places in koreatown where you can rent gowns/bm dresses. there’s a place on the wilshire and st. andrews that my brother’s wife rented a pretty gown from. they have bm dresses too.

I’m having an outdoor summer wedding and would love to outfit the groom and perhaps the chuppah holders in light beige suits. Does anyone have good ideas of where I could buy some nice, light beige/natural-colored suits? I live in New York City. Thanks in advance!

natalie -
if you’re looking for something casual and inexpensive, try nordstrom’s brass plum. these butterfly slides come in lots of fun colors and a wide range of sizes!

good luck =)

I’m waiting for engagement photo quotes, but am curious about how much everyone else paid. Please include the amount of photos you had printed as well.

sandy- there are TONS of bridal shops in koreatown and all of them do BM and bridal dress rentals.

They made my friend a 15″ heart shaped cake (one layer, small wedding) for under $100. She didn’t say it was for a wedding and it was delicious. They gave her tastings and everything.
