Happy Halloween!

Ribbon Seating-Card Display

Another Great Idea from Martha !

For an all-frills setup with little fuss, slip seating cards in between rows of ribbons. Cover foam boards (ours are 20 by 30 inches) with satin and grosgrain ribbons; randomly layer narrow ribbons over wide ones. Pin the ribbon ends to backs of boards, inserting straight pins at an angle to secure. Slip in envelopes by their flaps or bottoms.

Mom: Do you think you could keep an eye open for foam boards. They would need to be thick enought to support the weight of the ribbons and cards.

Michaels always have great ribbon sales. I'll make sure to buy a roll once in a while.

Martha's Pom-Poms

I found this decoration idea from Martha Stewart on a friends blog (Kim). I really like it and it looks so easy !

Could it be the one ???

It was dress shopping trip # 2 for me and Jen this weekend and we made great progress ! Jen tried a few bridesmaid dresses and was able to find a few styles that she likes. For my part, I tried again SEVERAL dresses ... however, this time I really found one that I liked. The only problem is that it's a bit over my budget. However, as someone told me this morning - I'm only going to get married once. Plus I mentionned to Eric that I had found a dress that I really liked but it was a bit pricy and he told me to go for it !

Next step:

- Re-visit the two stores where I found my two favourite dresses;

- Decide which one it will be;

- Order it ! Yoohoo !

potential dress!!

i had so much fun wedding dress shopping with you, Annik! here's a potential dress for me, except it would be floor length... love it!
