Brides Made Easy

Wall Lickin' Good Times!

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 03:55:00 +0000

As I sat sipping my english tea, I was astounded at the enormity of my current situation! I was to be married in 3 days!! Such an enormous honour was to be mine within 72 hours. I was quite frantic and didn't know what to do with myself, there was so much to organise still and I hadn't decided on a hairstyle for the big day. My enthusiasm never wained through this time as I still couldn't believe how lucky I was. The cake was to be prepared the next day and I had one last request in the cake decorating department - to make sure it would fit through the entrance door without leaving frosting all over the walls. Not much to ask really.

Well, when the happy day arrived, and it was the happiest day of my life, I discovered pink smudges all over the walls...suspiciously similar to the colour of our cake's frosting. We didn't care one iota and ended up daring others to lick the wall after consuming copious amounts of espressos. It truly was a great day! There weren't any errors during the day including the speeches and dancing which was quite astonishing, and my eternity ring was the most beautiful I could have ever imagined. I promptly changed into an evening dress after the event and was relieved that I had used the skin exfoliants my mother gave me the day before as I was glowing!

The presents we received were extreemely generous and I can't believe that my family bought us an entertainment unit as well as an ergonomic chair for our lounge and office room. It must have cost them a small fortune! Other gifts included some more executive office furniture and and exercise machine which will come in very handy. I will be sending thank you cards to all those who gave us gifts tomorrow and hopefully won't end up with a cramped hand after so many thank yous. Our house is completely decked out in all things wonderful now and we are able to start saving our money as the honeymoon proved to be quite expensive!

An Exciting New Gizmo!

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Tue, 13 May 2008 05:32:00 +0000

The other day as I was trying to make an important phone call, my mobile cut out and then completely died. That mobile has been with me for many years so I think it's about time I upgraded to new mobiles with all the wonderful new features available. All the different finishes out at the moment will make it easy to find a phone that goes perfectly with my wedding dress too.

I'm going to buy my mobile phone online to save the hours of searching through hundreds of shops to compare prices and phone features. The sales assistants drive me crazy too as they follow me everywhere. I'm going to try not to fall in love with an expensive phone so I plan to peruse cheap mobiles news to find an up to date bargain mobile.

The features I have my heart set on are a 5 megapixel camera with flash, GPS, mp3 ringtones, music player, and a big screen which retains its visability in direct sunlight. I'm pretty sure there are several Sony Ericsson 3G mobile phones with all these aspects packed into a slim slider model which is exactly what i'm after!

Financial Phone Quest

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Wed, 07 May 2008 00:35:00 +0000

I have been keenly banking online and working out my budget in hope that my finances will allow me to spend some cash on something I have wanted for a very long time. My savings account is brimming with money and my expenses are minimal so I should be able to buy this item without the use of my credit card. I will double check with my accountant and financial advisor to be certain I won't accidentally find myself in debt.

What is this heavenly item I hear you say? Why, its a mobile phone! A fancy one with GPS, a 3 megapixel camera, and PDA capabilities. I'm on the hunt for an online shop that sells cheap mobiles but am yet to find one with the Nokia or Motorola phones i've had my eye on. It's also hard to know if you'll receive a genuine or fake mobile so I think i'll stick to well known sites i've heard a lot about.

I've read so many mobile phone reviews and have narrowed it down to 3 phones - a Nokia N95 or N800, and a Motorola MOTORAZR Maxx V6. All these phones have 3G, mp3 player, GPS, and PDAs so its a very difficult decision! I'll have to see these mobile phones in person to really get a feel for them.

Take Me Down to Kokomo

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 23:15:00 +0000

I've been excitedly organising our honeymoon to the Bahamas today. We'll need to pay for accommodation, new luggage, plane tickets, car hire, food, and all manner of other things! This may call for a fixed loan methinks! There's no way we could afford so many expenses without a little help from our trusty bank, especially if we want it to be a wonderful, relaxed, and luxurious honeymoon.

We'll be heading there during their spring time so it should be quite warm and perfect for snorkelling. I've decided to sneakily take a large portion of the leftover wedding cakes with us so I can surprise my new husband and reminisce in the sunset. Champagne and strawberries are also a must.

As we'll need to book all our accommodation and airfares far in advance, i'll need to get to it immediately. I'll also need to purchase any summer clothing and swimwear we need while they are still available in the shops as Winter fashion has almost taken over. So, to finance these urgent expenses, it looks like fast loans are the way to go.

Additionally, extra resources and training possibilities have been added to the Jobs.com.au site by JOBX, giving users help beyond just searching through advertised positions.

Disaster strikes!

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 05:31:00 +0000

I ended up buying that beautiful dress I had my heart set on which enexpectedly came with a free veil, what a wonderful bonus! The boutique owner told me I was just in time as another bride to be was coming in to consider the dress that afternoon, luckily I had instant credit card approvals otherwise I could have missed out!

My wedding invitations arrived this week too and I was so excited! I left them on the dining table to show my fiance when he came home from work and I was silly enough to walk away leaving them open to any manner of destructive forces.

Cue my kitten Ralph! Yes, he discovered the gorgeous lace-covered paper toys and had a field day! Shredded pieces of "request the pleasure" and "yours sincerely" everywhere! I was nearly in tears but remembered I could just order some more online with my fancy new credit cards! I've got to tell my friends (who are still waiting on their credit card applications!) to get the quickest credit cards apply online!

The Dress Costs How Much?!

noreply@blogger.com (The Bridesmaid) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 05:52:00 +0000

I finally found the wedding dress I desperately want after hunting for months and I hesitatingly read the price tag....I nearly fainted! I certainly had not budgeted for such an expense but the dress is just perfect, I must have it! A credit card is what i need so I can relax and enjoy the wedding planning process.

I found some amazing wedding cake recipes too which I plan to make with my friends to save some money in the cake department. I've seen enough disasters to know not to make the cakes as part of the hen's night so I think we'll have a special cake-making day with lots of nibblies and good music.

Wedding after parties are the latest addition to wedding itinerary's which now include welcoming parties and following day brunches. Like James Packer and Erica Baxter you can extend your wedding celebrations over multiple days.

Brides used to change and say farewell at the end of their wedding reception but now they're choosing to relax and unwind with their guest at an after party. It's a great plan considering receptions are generally very hectic and you struggle to chat with everyone, and once it's over guest who all usually all staying in the same guest accommodation end up eating and continuing to chat in someone's room.

You could send out invitations to the after party, include info in welcome bags or keep it a surprise till the end of the night. To keep the celebrations alive chose a location near the reception and organise a bar tender and cigar collection, acoustic guitar player or DJ and have some food like meatballs, mini burgers, pizza or sandwiches and sweets. Brides can slip into a cute cocktail dress and party till 3am or 5am.

Week long celebrations in overseas locations like Hawaii or weekend long ceremony's are great for the bride and groom as well as for the guests because it is a great opportunity to spend a vacation with friends and family! Speak to your wedding planner for some ideas on hosting an after party.
