Hey Kelly! Your my twin :) lol (do you have an online portfolio? Im always interested in other designers work) Thanks for the compliments on my journal, but I still got tonnes to write. As for my date, its still not offical, but were aiming for june 2008. I need to finalize the reception site. Im going to visit it next weekend! Its a winery on an island and to get to the site you need to take a boat to get there. I was supposed to go in december, but since in Canada theres snow at this time of year, I need to take a hovercraft to get there and with the snow storms and the cold weather its not obvious. I just hope this is the right place... cuz Ive basically stop searching for other sites. :o |

Kelly, I found this article & thought I would post it for you.
Info found here ...... :) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The 1950’s represent everything glamorous and romantic and such themes are making a comeback in 2007 and 2008 weddings. Maybe you are too young to remember the first time around, but that shouldn’t hold you back. Many of our experiences of the 50’s have been through the media and our parents and grandparents, so get them involved in possible. Getting a 50's flavour into your big day is quite easy and actually quite a lot of fun! If you want to get the 50's glamour into your big day – focus on these ideas and you can’t really go wrong. Firstly, the invitation is the first idea that guests will have about what wedding style you are having, so it is important to get this right. Polka dots, stripes, lace, ribbons and pearls are all 50’s flashbacks along with glamorous black and white photographs. Centre your wedding invite design around one of these key areas. If you are having your invitations made especially for you, share your theme ideas with your stationer who will probably be able to help you with a design. When it comes to your groom, straight leg trousers and coloured suits would fit the bill perfectly. This may mean that you need to shop around in vintage clothes shops in order to find exactly what you are looking for. If this is not for you, keep your man in keeping with everyone else by insisting on lashings of Brylcream on his hair! As far as dresses are concerned, your bridesmaids should be in knee length dresses with full skirts with a little bit of net petticoat cheekily poking out from under the hem. Ideally, dresses should be belted and hair should be scooped back in a bouncy ponytail. Whatever your upbringing and however fantastic your legs are, it is never elegant for a bride to show her legs. You can incorporate the 50’s style in a more subtle manner. Pearls and lace are daringly vintage, so a lace gown or lace shawl over a silk gown will be enough for you. Alternatively, anything with a bow on it is classed as very much this era. Best advice though, is to keep the gown long and elegant. Anything elegant is archetypical for this époque so try to add some elegant accessories somewhere in your big day. For example, long gloves are oh so cute as well as very vintage. Bows were big too around this time, so anything that has a bow on it is perfect. Bows on dresses, bows on shoes, bows on handbags, bows on your wedding favour boxes and bows on invitations. Remember those dancing feet! Elegant footwear is also central to creating this look successfully. Cutesy kitten heels were all the rage in the 50’s so encourage bridesmaids to wear them to complete the look with their short dresses. Jewellery should once again focus on glamour – pearls are fabulous and look great. Pearls and nets can be incorporated into vintage style hair decorations. These look sensational with high fronted backcombed hairstyles on which decorative pieces sit perfectly. Pearls and nets are also ideal accessories for your wedding cake. The 50’s saw an explosion in totally elaborate and completely over the top wedding cakes. There is no such thing as too much decoration on a vintage wedding cake, so make sure you go to town. You should also think about the venue where you intend to wed. Wherever it may be, it absolutely has to have a large, relatively central dancefloor when your guests can celebrate the best way they know how. Speak with the hotel or location holding your reception; they may be able to arrange for vintage table linen, or older style tables and chairs to be used rather than modern ones. These will give your reception an old fashioned and elegant feel - certainly in keeping with your theme! When planning your evening entertainment, get a band who are familiar with lots of 50’s style jiving. Ensure they play lots of tracks that will get your family and friends up on the dance floor having a jive and a bop. Your first dance song has to be a Sinatra number or another rat pack favourite to get guests in the mood. There is no need to get all of the above into your 1950’s style wedding unless you really want to. Simply by introducing a few key items to the day may suffice to give your guests the elegant, glamorous and fun 50’s themed wedding they were expecting. |

Wedding Dress: What Is 1950 Style? – Is It The Wedding Dress You Want? There are certain attributes of a 1950 wedding dress that are worth outlining. This will help you to determine if a 1950 gown matches your ideal. Luscious materials such as silk organza are used for the gown. Bolero jackets were at the height of style during the 1950’s and were worn over sleeveless dresses. Most of the dresses have Basque waistlines, which particularly suits those who want a dress that will hide anything less than a flat stomach. The skirts to the dresses are very full and most of them require you to wear a separate petticoat to accentuate the fullness. If you want to accessorize the gown with a 1950’s style head dress, then veils tended to be attached to “clamp style” hats, worn very close to the head. You may also be able to find vintage 1950’s jewelry to provide a finishing touch to the style and look. |

I think you've mistaken.... (I was talking about the hanging flower vases... the water bottles are from quebec, though :D . Which I think I will use for sure! They are very elegant (the glass ones) And they can match with my how stationery theme! Thanks! |

tehee....ya my bad!!:p |
Just a suggestion;) You could always print your own labels for the water bottles....just buy the water & put the labels on them:confused: |
|
Ya but i absolutely want a glass bottle.
I dont want the label to look cheap.... anyways, the Glas company you gave me the link do only sell to companies. I emailed them... ill keep you posted on what they tell me. For the image with the vases...where did you find this picture??? |

Can't remember :confused: ....it was a page with just pics. |
Oh okay then... i will search on the net! thanks
|
Kelly.....do have any pics to share of your dressing fitting ???? :D
|
AM with donna~!!
|
MY DRESS!!!!!!!! Yes yes The real one... not the sample!
Yes yes! The fitting was absoulety perfect! Im sooooo happy.
Like you Donna... I fell in love all over again. Here it is. (I wore my jewelry, shoes and veil.... ) In this picture you can see the sash I added :)  |
Quote:
WOW WOW PRETTY~!!! |
Kelly that's gorgeous!!
|
Kelly that dress is amazing! I love it with the sash. :)
|
Thanks everyone.... Im am sooooo exciting.
On top of that my shoes match perfectly! And I didnt even dye them. The sash adds that special detail. I will try an find a rhinestone brooch to attach the sash rather than making a knot! I want to go back and wear my dress all day!!! I left it there and going to pick it up in April 2008 :( But I brought my veil with me... so at least I can wear that once in a while ;) |
