The first wedding thread was for daughter #1 and we needed tips on Christmas weddings! Now wedding number 2 is actually for daughter #5 and we need tips on autumn weddings! |
Yea for Zeta and LXA!
She has good tastes!

OK, I've found the most fabulous wedding bouquet book! It's called To Have and To Hold. From both a professional standpoint and a mom of the bride standpoint, I'm impressed...the fall ideas are soooo gorgeous.
And thank you all for your good wishes! It's just as scary getting started on the second wedding. The fact that it'll be out of town and I don't know any florists or caterers in Birmingham is one reason why.

Lots of online resources can help you with the out of town issues too. My local board on the knot.com was great! Very helpful girls there and on most of the boards. Wedding Channel is good too.

Oh, I know I am late to this wedding party, but congrats!! My friend got married in the fall in New England and she used pumpkins with flowers as the centerpieces. They were so pretty. Is she getting married this fall?
Now, as someone planning her own wedding from a distance, I also recommend checking out the websites of the major papers in the area. In Boston, one of the newspapers has message boards about everything possible. Their wedding message board has been super helpful. I still refer to it frequently even though I am getting married in PA.

I wouldn't serve me, that's very cliche.

Success! We found a gooorgeous ivory gown yesterday with a dropped waist and a bodice with the palest of pink pearls and a pale pink hem. All these other brides and their moms kept walking by and saying things like, "I haven't seen the rest on you but this is your gown!"
So then we met the florist and instead of fall colors, she'll be going with very pale shell pink and pale green. There's a new rose out, Esperance, that's light pink and green and ivory and that'll probably be the feature flower.
I haven't quit smiling yet.

Omigosh, that sounds perfectly lovely! One of the most beautiful wedding gowns I ever saw (at definitely the most expensive weddings!) was an ivory dress with pale sage & shell pink embroidery on the hem, sleeves & neckline. It was so gorgeous, I can't even remember the flowers!

My curiousity is piqued! I may have to "conveniently be walking my dog" at the church just to get a glimpse at that gorgeous gown!! Post a pic on the bridal gown thread if you have one.

Birmingham pointers....
Congrats to you! As far as help with the florists, etc, I can definitely give you some pointers to which ones are very reasonable, etc.
Do you all know where the service is going to be? I know of a great church in your denomination, if they are going that route.
Also, don't forget to consider the botanical gardens as well...it's beautiful in the fall!
I am thrilled for you all!!!!!
