That sucks. The place we got them considered it part of thetotal fee and it wasnt much. They also would dye them to match. The guyeven took us to his guy to get flowers. We ended paying for just mine.They gave us the rest FREE!Theyare good friends of the guys.We luckedout with that guy he was so nice.

The hall we rented provided us w/ alot: linens in whatever color wewanted, china, napkins in whatever colors we wanted, silverware, openbar, centerpieces, and the cake was included. It was really nice. And,although I was afraid to get the cake from the hall, it was made by apro baker and was DELICIOUS! It was chocolate cake on with mochafilling and a vanilla bottom. Yum! They also did Cherries Jubliee,which is a dessert where they set the cherries on fire first, and theydid it in front of everyone. It was really neat.

So, how did it go today, Nadia?

Our place has table cloths, but they're UGLY - they barely cover the table and the material is horrible.

I found great ones today for $15 a table (which is cheaper than theoriginal $22 this other place was quoting). AND $3 a chaircover. (ugh!!). Neil keeps cursing every time I tell himabout this stuff. heeh.

SOOOOOooo.. it went really well!!

And, I decided on a dress from the same collection, but a totally different dress... and a totally different color. hahaha.

Ok, so the dress I liked just fit my sister like a really badsack. It was horrible on her body shape, so we nixed it assoon as we saw it. My other bridesmaid has a similar bodyshape (they're both muscular, very broad shoulders). Thestrapless dress was just horrendous.

So, we just started trying on dresses with different styles on top tosee what looks best, and we found one that looks AMAZING!

And, the color - the chocolate brown just would not be right for mysister's complexion - it's way WAY too dark, and she would dissapear inteh dress (while sitting at the tables with Chocolate brown tablelinens). So that got nixed as well.

The dresses are 'Palamino"... which is just a champagne color, and myother bridesmaid might get the chocolate brown because the champagnecolor is HER skin color.

The moral of the whole story is

I FOUND THE DRESSES!!!



Edit: This isn't the EXACT color - for some reason they don't have theright color up on the site - but this is the closet to the color.

I love it!

When we were looking for dresses for my best friends wedding, we wentthrough the same thing. You may love a dress on paper, but you have togo with what fits the body types best. The one we had originally pickedout fit me perfectly, but when some of the other girls who were shortertried it on it looked really bad. We eventually found one that workedfor everyone.

And you want your girls to feel comfortable and like what theyre wearing. Im glad you found something beautiful!

After promising that she would help plan thingsshe took off in May cam back two weeks before the wedding which wasOctober 1st. Complianed about the dress mind you she looked nice.

Than at the wedding shower my family threw she was talking trash aboutmy family. That her family is higher class and what not. Mind you hermothers family will not talk to her dad because his grea great greatgrandma was part indian. I could go on but I won't. That is one of thesmaller things wrong with her family.

Since than I speak to her once every few months. The last straw was when she said I should have Ringo put to sleep.

Oh no! That's awful!

My maids were my sis, my cousin, my best friend, and my junior was my12 yr old cousin. To make a long story short, I bought my friend hershoes for the dress and wanted info to send them to her (she movesalot). Took me 5 weeks to reach her after calling and calling. Finallyreached her...by myspace (which is how she choose to respond). Turnsout she said I was a bad friend (because her boyfriend was beingajerk about her coming her for the wedding. She was in FL andgoing to IL and I told him to back off that she was a big girl andcould make her own decision.) So, she told me she couldn't feel likeshe was good friend anymore and come to the wedding. So, that cut it to3 weeks before my wedding. I was absolutely livid. I still haven'ttalked to her. Mind you, I bought her shoes and her gift (the gift Icouldn't return), so that put me out over $100...plus her plate offood, and part of her plane ticket that she had to cancel.Unbelievable. Sad to think she ruined a 13 year friendship over someguy, that she has now broken up with.

Nadia, that's a great dress. Funny thing is the same thing happened tome. I had picked out a couple dresses, but the one I ended up choosingjust laid better on the girls.
