Our wedding colours: Black, white with Red.

Ries-
Your wedding is AMAZING!!!

We have the same colors! Although I must say, my designing so far is NO where as incredible!! Did you find the dark red flowers to be too dark in the room? My florist has convinced me that with the evening wedding the white flowers are better.

Also, your bms dresses are GORGEOUS! Do you mind sharing the designer?

 

[Sabine]

Wow, your wedding looks like a dream come true! I love everythingm, but especiaslly the tables!

 

[anchor31]

Everything is just stunning! Congratulations!

[kcoursolle]

Hi October!

You must be so excited about the BIG day - are you getting married Oct08? This is a wonderful time...enjoy every second!

It''s been a while since I''ve been on PS. Wedding bliss!

Don''t worry tooooo much about Casa Loma or the venue - the Rosewater Room will be amazing! I don''t really remember the venue...the day was over so quickly...all I remember is my handsome hubby and thinking about my next bathroom visit. Such an ordeal! ha ha ha! Actually I wanted to mention that ANY venue, even our garage would have been special. It was amazing and I miss the time so much. You''ll see...it will be over in 5 mins! I felt goofy, sad & happy! The entire day was dreamy/ twilight moment weird!

The dress is by Anne Barge (White Toronto)

Tiara by Tacori. (yikes, I still feel guilty about the tiara!)

Scallop edge cathedral length veil with seed beads & rhinestones with a detachable top shorter veil piece - not sure about designer, I''ll confirm...

The ring is by: Leon Mege - 2.6ct. with side pears. My fat little finger is a size 6!

All the best! Happy planning!

I am excited about my day - granted it is just under a year away!! Your pictures are stunning. It really looks like a magazine wedding!

Your dress is gorgeous. I went to White and tried on a bunch of dresses - what a nice store! I ended up getting my Reem in the states though - I''m just glad I found something finally!!

I thought it was funny you described your ring - I''m one of those girls who certainly remembered your ring and your story!!
I''m glad you came back and showed us the pictures from your wedding!!

Only other question (for now is where you got your wedding band from? It is perfect with your e-ring!!

Thanks for replying!

 

[ello]

Skippy you are too funny! You''re eyeballs miss nothing! ha ha ha
You are correct. My BM (sister in law) and MOH (sister) are wearing their 0.25ct bezel whiteflash pendants. I completely forgot about that...dope! I decided not to wear my bezel from whiteflash (actually brought it with me) since I was already a bit Christmas-tree blingy. It was overkill with the tiara. My dad gave me the earrings from swarovski so it was important to wear it and it is for this reason that I decided to skip on the pendant. My mamma wore it under her brown dress so at least it made it to the ceremony

October-bride-to be...don''t worry about being excited so far away from your wedding. I was in wedding mode the minute my hubby slipped on the engagement ring. I booked Casa Loma the very next week! ha ha ha! Only one small thing is that we could only get a Sunday. If you booked a Sunday and it''s not too late...try to revise to a Sat. I found that most guests were tired and skipped out on desert. Can you believe it. Here''s a pic of the desert...bummer!

The bands are from Tiffany. Probably not the best financial move I made but it''s difficult to walk into Tiffany without coming out of the store with something! I''m such a push over!

The band ring is sitting (rather) flush against the 3stone mainly because I lost 35pounds before the wedding and my engagement ring is at least half a size bigger so it''s sitting higher than the band - creating a nice comfi flush gap situation. I don''t think this is a good thing because I looked at the section it''s rubbing against and I noticed a small scuffed area. Also, I have to wait to see Leon in NY to get it sized...I''m a little nervous getting it sized locally. I''m hoping to save for the Tiffany Elsa P. curved plain plat. band to help with the scuffing and also it will look better with the 3stone.

Any-who...I''m so glad to hear that you bought a REEM. How fabulous!!! I''m going to search your posting as well as Skippy since I''m not completely in the loop. It''s nice to be back!

Here''s a pic of the final dress again (Mon cheri). We asked Joe to fake our exit in my wedding dress on the video however I actually left in this ring. Much easier to get in and out of our car - Prowler.

 

[Lorelei]

Ries, you look gorgeous, the pics are superb!! Many congrats to you both!! How is your li''l doggie doing?

 

[ello]

Mr. Nibs is doing great! He actually had 3 teeth pulled and had his bladder stones removed a week ago...poor guy! His teeth is looking whiter than mine! ha ha ha! so cute! Glad to see you''re still on PS. Man I really missed everyone...I have so much to read - it''s good to be back!

Oops, almost forgot...I wanted to mention for those interested that the flower girl''s dress was by:
Sweet Beginnings Flower Girl Dresses
By Jordan Fashions
L806
with a black waistband.

Satin spaghetti strap bodice with crushed satin waistband with a back flower that matches the dress color. Full tulle skirt. Available in Light Ivory, Pearl or White in combination with with the waistband colors listed.

I should have ordered the off white colour...somehow I completely forgot that my dress was off white...YIKES!

Ries I''m not sure if you mentioned this, but did you have a decor company or rental company that you got those candelabras/tablecloths from?

I just caught this note. Of course we would remember you. I remembered when I began my search for my ring I saw your ering and KD''s ring and loved the setting!!! I also remember you buying those beautiful pendants for your bm''s and thought that was super sweet! I can''t wait for the pro pics; you guys make a great couple!

Howdy - I''m so sorry, I missed your question October - good thing you bumped the post.

We rented the stands from our florist. Designing Trendz. If you spell out the name (all in one) and add a .com it will take you to their web...many wonderful ideas and stands. It''s hard to pick - I also like to owner...super funny and easy going. They customized the stands by added the red votive cups...we needed something older/romantic and red. I also wanted to add that they went out of their way to make sure the event looked lovely. I noticed extras on the pictures that I don''t think we requested....like a stand in a hall way and the cake flowers were free...yet so full!

Any questions feel free to ask. I learned so much from other PS brides it time for me to pay back the goods! hee-hee!

Thank you also to everyone for the lovely vibes and well wishes! The professional proofs are ready this Thursday! SOOOOO excited. I will be back.
