Wedding Dress: After the Wedding

So, lets face it...You're not going to get anywhere close the the amount that you paid for your wedding dress if you choose to sell.

Now, there ARE a few options that you do have and we're about to get into it.
1. Sell the dress on Ebay or another fabulous site such as that and receive less than half of what you actually paid for it.

2. Keep it for your daughter to wear b/c you know it's going to be in style when she gets married and let's face it; your mother wore her mothers and you wore your mothers....NOT!

3. Do something trendy provocative and a little Ris Que?!!!!!!!



Try a trash the DRESS PHOTO SHOOT!


I absolutely love this idea and it's not for everyone. I'm just gonna post some pics and let you form your own opinion. But, this girl... loves the idea of keeping with the trends, making a statement and doing things that will have people talking for years!

Definition of Wreath...

While I'm making some yummy supper for my sweet family; I'm thinking about all of the ways to decorate with wreaths. Then I thought....Is a wreath just what we see at Christmas time? So, I looked it up...

WREATH is defined as: circular band of flowers, foliage, or any ornamental work for adorning the head, or for any decorative. Yay! So I'm gonna show you some ways to incorporate "wreaths" in your wedding or special event.

1st thought: Wreaths as Centerpieces

Of course, pick some greenery that's in season, secure it with twine and weave in season florals. Then place a hurricane in the middle with other florals or candles.

Try making a wreath out of fruits. Think a wreath foam (you know the green stuff that you stick flowers in) and stick a toothpick in a lemon and them poke in the foam.

2nd thought: Wreaths to Welcome


Welcome your guests with a wreath on the door to your ceremony. Your last name 1st letter is a nice personalization bit.

3rd thought: Wreaths to adorn the head


For your flower girl, or if you're just a sun-child let a wreath of florals round your head.
