Beth, i say go with gold. gold is becoming more fashionable these days. i’m using bronze for my fall wedding and i think it looks classy, and i’m normally a “definitely silver” kind of girl!

Nashgirl - I am normally a silver or white gold kind of girl, but I too think the gold will look better! Thanks for your input!

card stock help!: i ordered my cardstock from http://www.thepapermillstore.com/ i was looking for a hard-to-find shade of teal, and i was able to order two different colors and return the one that wasn’t what i had imagined

LOL Jana…great Canadian minds think alike

beth - i would go with gold as well. it will complement the rest of the colors better.

grace - unless its cost prohibitive, i would send an invitation to everyone in your wedding party. It’s a nice momento and everyone else is getting an invite so why shouldn’t the ppl doing actual work for the wedding!

Grace: if they are in the wedding… they are invited…thus you have to send them one.

Lynn, check out http://weddings.shanbritedesigns.com/templates.htm . it was a link that was shown on weddingbee a while ago. They might have something on there, I found my timeline from there!

I am planning my friend’s bridal shower and I will be making the flower arrangments myself.

I need some simple, FAST, and easy ideas for arrangements. I really liked when Martha Stewart submerged the flowers in the water…(it was the cherry blossom, and tulip). If I submerge flowers in water, wouldn’t it float? I do not want to add stones to the bottom of the vase.

If anyone can help me with simple, fast and stunning center pieces. I literally have to do 10 centerpieces in one hour ..I’m waking up at the crack of dawn to purchase flowers in the Los Angeles Flowermart. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jaime,

personal opinion, 3 per person sounds low… especially if there is drinking involved, you may want people to have a little food in their bellies. i’m sure some people won’t eat three, but then you’re bound to have a bunch that may eat four or five and then you’ll run out.

try http://www.paperandmore.com for the pearlescent paper also. their customer service is sooo good. but i don’t know if they ship to canada.

Jenny K– A friend submerged one spray of magenta orchids and one palm frond behind it in a tall cylindrical vase full of water, floated one floating candle at the top of the vase, and put a sprinkling of black river rocks at the bottom for contrast. Rocks not necessary if you don’t like them. The orchids did not float when fully submerged.

Grace– Etiquette does dictate that you send an invite, but bridal party will probably not be offended if they don’t get one, if you are trying to save money.
