WEDDING TIME In New York City -Part ONE

I'm a sucker. Oh yes, I am one of those people who believes in love and all things love related. Weddings, "tying the knot" and that whole "commitment thing" really tickles my fancy. What better way than to celebrate love than to throw a big party in a an expensive dress, where you throw flowers, get your relatives wasted, make out in front of Grandma AND God, and then make people cry?! There's only this one time to do all of it at once, so by golly- let me make it easier for you.
THE DRESS
There’s only one other dress that will be this important, in your whole life- and that’s your prom dress. I was home-schooled, so that dress was void in my situation.
THE DRESS IS KEY. If you’re an ugly bride, people will worry about your future of love together, If you couldn’t put in the effort to “make an entrance” you’re already starting off on a bad foot. You don’t just “throw something on.” OH NO, you search, you hunt, you scavenge, you bootcamp until that size 6 fits every curve perfectly. You take the fittings seriously, the viewing time seriously (yes, invite the Mother in law) and this is the one moment where you are allowed to be Bridezilla (but not in front of the Mother in law, you don’t want to frighten her.) This is a serious matter and if you don’t care about the dress……then just go get married in a courtroom, don’t even bother with the rest.
Adrienne's
156 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002
I like anything couture, or unique….Adrienne’s is no David’s Bridal. What you find at Adrienne’s may be pricey, but is without a doubt going to be uniquely you.

Amsale Dresses are my favorite. Hopefully when you get married you’ll look a little bit happier than this model.
The bridesmaids
Now, be kind. You must remember that though they aren’t the BRIDE, they are most likely single girls who would like to be “THE BRIDE” someday. If you put them in heinous taffeta dresses so you look like a gem and they look like vomit, they may remain single forever….and you don’t want to do that to your friends.

The Flowers
I caught the bouquet recently. It was so beautiful that I almost felt like giving it back- it had nothing to do with my commitment issues.
Flowers can set an ambiance, a theme. They can be bright and colorful, or light and dreamy. Bold, exotic or simple and classic. Whatever your choose, choose wisely….you could go for the candle theme, but candles aren’t the safest thing to toss into a crowd.

Photographer
Pictures are imperative. You want to make sure you find a photographer who isn’t going to catch you in awkward moments, but instead candid moments where you’ll look back and think, damn- do I look like good all the time? Laughing, crying, your Dad doing the jump splits, these are the moments that you’ll want to remember.
Make sure to get some mirror shots, those are classy. ;)
Hee heee….I got a new bathroom mat!

When else can you justify buying $1,300 sheets? Never. So have someone else buy them for you, like your rich aunt Millie?

The wedding dress is the most important piece of the puzzle. The Groom comes second.

If you’ve got a few grand to drop, this is the place to do it. Amsale is where you buy your dress if you want to look like a movie star.

Bridesmaids are on the hunt.
CAKE.
That’s right, the CAKE is so important. Everyone comes to a wedding for the open bar and the cake……I’m not going to put together a list of places where you can go if you’re on a budget because FRANKLY- if I’m spending my money on anything, it’s going to be on baked goods. Cake included.
If it were up to me Duff from Ace of Cakes would be my cake man, who knows maybe he’d be my groom. Like I said, I really, really like cake.
Oh, and for entertainment sake- its fine to shove cake int your new wife/husbands face, as a matter of fact please do, for US. Especially if you had one of those REALLY LONG church ceremonies.
A Wedding Planner
Not J.Lo (thought that is her best “film”)
On the day of your wedding the last thing you want to be worried about is having safety pins, making sure the linens are steamed, the place cards are in place and Aunt Susie has her oxygen tank, and Uncle Bill doesn’t stay at the open bar too long (everyone still remember the family reunion 1995 when he got sloshed and called your mother a BEEP) So instead of worrying about that, hire someone to worry about that for you.

Their motto:
“We’re been told we’re fresh, hip and edgy (good-looking too). But the compliment we are most proud of is that we “get”it. We know that weddings aren’t just events. They’re incredible stories of family, friends, love and tradition.”
Sounds like the kind of photographer you want.

Gifts!!!!
……are the best part.
I’ve always wanted to receive a blender as a gift, I’d love to have one. A blender isn’t really something you pick up and buy unless you’re REALLY into smoothies, same with; china, aprons, salad tongs, food processors, etc.
The best part is going through and making your imaginary “wish list” of all the things you want to get. If only Christmas were like that, I’d have way less ugly sweaters under my bed.
