If you are planning a wedding and have a limited budget to work with, you might want to consider Walmart Bakery at Walmart Supercenters for your cake.  I have checked out their bakery for birthday cakes and other special occasion cakes, and I was very surprised to see what a great selection they have.  I personally have not gotten a wedding cake from them, but I have gotten other...

My husband and I renewed our vows on our 20th wedding anniversary.  We decided to purchase new wedding rings to commerate our special day.  We went to Kay Jewelers in our local mall to pick out new rings.  I looked and looked but didn't find exactly the wedding band set I wanted.  I had an idea of the style but when I tried on different ones I wasn't completely ...

I knew that I wanted to make my own invitations for my wedding, but found myself pressed for time.  This kit was a wonderful solution that gave me the handmade look I wanted without the stress of trying to piece everything together myself. Michaels has a good selection of these kits in a variety of patterns and designs.  Each kit includes: water-pressed paper, vellum sheets, whit...

Before my hubby and I were married or even engaged for that matter, we would go into jewelry stores and just "window shop".  We stepped into Belden Jewelers one day and I saw just the most beautiful diamond I had ever seen. The clarity was wonderful, the cut was wonderful, and the size was just perfect for my tiny fingers. The problem was the setting that it was put in. It really...

On Valentine's Day 2009, my husband and I decided to renew our vows. Our first ceremony did not include matching wedding bands. We decided we needed a set of matching wedding bands this go around. However, we did not want to pay jewelry store prices. We searched local jewelers and found even plain thin gold bands cost a pretty penny, about $150 each for the gumball machine cheapies. We look...

Diamonique is a women's best friend. I purchased this anniversary band so long ago I can't even remember how long I've had it, I would guess almost 15 years.  When I first took it to the jeweler to have it sized he asked if I had bought it at their shop.  I told him truthfully that it was not a real diamond ring and he was very, very impressed wih the quality.  Eventu...

When I was looking for wedding cakes I went everywhere.  I stumbled upon quite the unusual find.  A grocery store that makes wedding cakes.  Giant Eagle offers wedding cakes in a variety of flavors.  I sampled the almond cake and was impressed by how moist it was.  It was light and fluffy and delicious.They offer a lot of different cake designs just like the wedding cak...

When my husband and I were first married we each just had a very basic wedding band.  My husband is from Latvia and they have a ring there called a Namejs ring.  My husband first had one when we were dating but it was stolen.  I always admired that ring and said one day I would like to have one as my wedding ring.For our 15th anniversary my dear husband surpri...

When I was looking for a veil for my wedding, I didn't really know what I wanted. All I knew was that I wanted it to be simple, but still stand out as a part of my overall look. After trying on countless different styles and lengths I came to a few conclusions. #1: veils that were longer than elbow length got in the way of sitting and were too long to easily flip over my head. #2: shoulder ...

I have been in more weddings then I care to count.  About half of them seem to have the bridesmaid dress from Davids Bridal.For my friend Jessica's wedding I was pregnant so I she had the added challenge of dressing her girls in matching dresses that a pregnant girl could also pull off.  The Spaghetti Strap long chiffon dress with empire waist worked perfectly.  She chose bla...

I wore this gown for my wedding and it was simply wonderful. The dress comes in several different colors: white, diamond, white, Ivory, Light Gold and Mocha. Maggie Sottero makes plus sizes up to size 26 I believe, so nearly everyone can find the dress of here choice in here size. This dress is simply gorgeous. It is a wrap dress with a corset back and beautiful beading along the top of the bod...

I recently got married, and when choosing my wedding invitations I opted to print my own.  Printing my own allowed me to choose the font, color, and wording that I wanted.  I looked online and at other stores, but I found a great invitation kit at Target.  It had the color and style I wanted and at a reasonable price.  The kit included the invitations, lined invitation ...

We are having bridesmaid dress seperates from Alfred Angelo. I love this idea of seperates. I picked out the skirt for all the girls and they get to pick their tops. They are all going to be wearing solid claret(red) and they all have different tops. The only one not going to be in solid claret is the maid of honor. She is going to be in an ivory top to match my dress. They have a very Wide sel...

The Chinese says this is the year of the dog (2008); I say it is the year of the weddings!  Oh my, everyone is getting married this year.   A close friend tied the knot last month and she was brave ... I mean really brave.  She not only had the flower girl to drop the rose petals on the carpet, but she also had a three year old boy act as the ring bearer.  But wait...

My husband and I had our wedding cake made from Wixies Bakery in Toledo, OH. We were for the most part happy with it, but there were some issues we had with the cake once it arrived. I have eaten Wixies Bakery stuff for many years and have always loved it. From donuts to fritters, their stuff was always the best. So it came with no hesitation that our cake would come from there. Their pric...

When I was a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding, she chose David's Bridal as her supplier of choice for our bridesmaid dresses. She loved choosing the dresses, and despite her several bridesmaids all having very different body types, she was able to choose a dress from the extensive selection that flattered all of our figures, from plus to athletic to curvy to rail thin. The color s...

I'm getting married in September. Like many brides, I had no idea where to begin when I went wedding dress shopping. I had some ideas of what I liked, and brought some pictures of dress I wanted to try on along with me. Unfortunately the shop only had one of those dresses in stock. That dress looked great on me, but then I reluctantly tried on this one. I hadn't planned on doing st...
