Where can I rent thai wedding dress in Long Beach, Los angeles or around these two areas?
my friend is ready to marry, but thai traditional requires to have thai traditional clothes for wedding. she has her american style gown already, so she just wants to rent the traditional clothes since she’s gonna wear it one time only. I tried to search many times I could not find any website. Hope to get help from here.
she should probably have done this the other way around because it is easy to find american wedding gowns for rent in california but renting a silk thai dress is going to be hard to do. you can try Thai Bridal at 14441 brookhurst street in garden grove. (714 775 4611) i know they rent bridal gowns. most the women who work there speak vietnamese and have broken english, but you can check with them.
the only other thing i can think of is to get a one-shoulder long gown in red or gold and add your own beads and a wide gold beaded belt and sort of do your own. that would be cheaper than buying a real one. you can find stuff to bead them with at any craft store like michaels or ben franklin’s. i just got done gluing over 300 crystals on my granddaughters ice skating dress for a competition which saved me about 250 dollars on buying one already done. it took two evenings to do it.
I have been asked to play flute for a wedding ceremony on the beach. Does anyone have any suggestions of pieces? I am a pretty competent player however I think fairly simple pieces may be nicer. Maybe classical concerto slow movements? But they have to sound ok un-accompanied.
Please go to www.jennifercluff.com This is NOT me! She has an excellent list of unaccompanied works for weddings.
Playing on the beach is not ideal. Do NOT take your *good flute* – take something student-level. Sand and wind are NOT our friends. Make sure that you stand is SOLIDLY connected to the ground – use one of those big screw supports that people use to connect a dog run or beach umbrella, and lash you r stand to THAT. Get MANY wind clips – those long clothespins – or cover your music with plastic, and then clips THAT. I once played a gig SO windy that i took a lathe-operators mask (clear plastic) and wore it to play – the flute underneath, I could see and be seen, and was able to produce a decent tone without the wind preventing me from doing so.
Some of the suggestions you are going to receive will be for famous flute works – but as you asked, they do not make it without their accompaniments. Go for slow, clear things – not a time to play the Bach a minor partita, of Larson’s “Movin’ On”. Again, check Jen’s stuff – she is always a big help.
Are you ready to send out your wedding invitations but you’re not sure of the correct wedding invitation assembly etiquette? It’s important that they’re assembled the right way so they don’t get damaged on the way to your guests’ letterboxes. Read on to find out the proper way to assemble and send out your wedding invitations.
For proper wedding invitation assembly etiquette, place the invitation inside the large envelope along with its protective tissue and make certain that the invitation is facing you.
Place the reception invitation on top of the wedding invitation, also facing you.
Position the response card in, and leaning within the flap of the response envelope, which is facing down.
Include a small map or directions which will help the guests find their way to the venue. This is the last item to go in the envelope.
Use calligraphy if you’d like to when addressing the envelope as it adds an elegant touch.
Choose a postage stamp that compliments the general appearance of your invitation.
Go to the post office and ask that the wedding invitations be hand cancelled, to avoid unattractive marks or scratches that a machine cancelling can cause.
Observing the proper wedding invitation assembly etiquette is quite important when inviting guests to share your special day. You want to ensure the invitations arrive in your guests’ mailboxes safely intact so they still look as beautiful as they did when you mailed them. I hope these tips have been useful and have helped you on the most romantic journey of your life!

Planning a Wedding : How to Order Custom Invitations & Announcements
What is the most spectacular ceremony you have ever witnessed ?
Melbourne, July 13 (ANI): Wedge-tailed eagles are now the latest accessories at weddings in Gold Coast, Australia.
According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, a wedge-tailed eagle has been trained to swoop down the aisle over the heads of astonished guests to deliver the wedding rings to the best man or groom.
“Ten years after you’ve been to a wedding you won’t remember the food that you ate, but you will remember if an eagle flew in,” News.com.au quoted Zanna Carey from Broadwings Events as saying.
The eagle can perform its fly-in trick at weddings in churches, on beaches or in garden locations, and the rings are clipped to leather straps tied to its legs.
All the best man or groom has to do is raise a gloved hand with a scrap of meat in it at the right moment during the ceremony, and the handler releases the bird. (ANI)
Ah yes,I remember the wedding well.Not the food laid on by the Worlds finest chefs.Not that it was held at Conwy Castle.Not the Heads of state from all nations.No my dear,I remember it because the Wedge Tailed Eagle flew over our heads and crapped all down my Saville Row suit!
Grandiose ceremonies are for people with too much money,and too little sense!
Simple is just as good.
My little sister just got engaged and needs wedding ideas!?
They want to get married outside, like on a beach or at a winery… somewhere on the East Coast where our family is located… Anywhere from SC, NC, VA and MD
Also, her favorite flower is gerber daisies and she wants that to be in her bouquet… what other flowers go well with them?
She has no idea what colors she wants… she’s a big pink fan, but thinks its too common nowadays… what about 2 colors?
And lastly, she has 7 college roommates that she couldn’t choose just some for bridesmaids and is worried her fiance won’t have enough groomsmen to compensate… what should she do?
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP!
outside weddings are nice! make sure if they are getting married outside, that the dress is appropriate. sand + a ball gown = big troubles!! also, i’m having red gerber daisies in my wedding in my bouquet, with no other flowers.. its gorgeous. have the florist add some accent jewels or sometihng if she feels thats not enough.
the time of year for the wedding plays a big part in the colors.. so it would depend on that. fall weddings look good with browns and darker yellows and oranges.. summer weddings = bright colors. winter weddings look good with dark reds and dark blues and spring time looks good with baby blues and pinks. and other soft colors.
as for the bridesmaids. i have 4 good girlfriends, and my fiance has 2 really good best friends. i chose to only have 2 girls, and its the two i feel the most comfortable with and have known the longest, and i told the other two i would like to include them but didnt want to make him feel awkward. they totally understood. if all else fails, th groom could use the brides male cousins, or brothers.
Destination and beach weddings tend to be very informal when compared to your traditional church or reception hall wedding. Despite this understood informality, many guests wonder what is or is not appropriate guest attire for a beach wedding.
If this is your first destination wedding, you can rest assured in knowing that the vibe of this type of wedding is naturally more laid back and fun. When a bride and groom invite you to spend four days and three nights with them in beautiful San Juan Puerto Rico – they want you to be comfortable when doing so. Even though destination weddings are considered informal, this does not mean that you should look like you are spending the day doing laundry. You can be dressy, without going overboard.
If you attend a lot of weddings, you probably have a closet full of tea length dresses, cocktail dresses and pants suits in dark or muted colors. Ditch the black and somber colors for this type of wedding. The beach is a fun place, the colors you wear should reflect that. Go for an all white linen outfit or knee length dress in bright summery pastel colors.
Your fabric choice is another important aspect of your destination wedding guest attire. You obviously want to avoid heavy fabrics due to the heat. Light airy fabrics such as linen, soft jersey knit, flowing silk and crisp cool cotton are the best options for beach weddings. Depending on the time of year, finding clothing in these fabrics may be difficult, you can always make your purchase online – which will likely save you a ton of money as well.
As for accessories, leave the heirloom jewelry at home. A simple pearl necklace and earrings is more than suitable. Complete your look with flat sandals or kitten heels; attempting to wear high heels in the sand is a sure fire way to sprain an ankle!

My grandma wants me to wear her pearls and asked me a long time ago but my mom said if I am wearing peals then I should be wearing hers. So I think I am going to wear neither. I was thinking of doing no necklace with this dress. I can’t decide though. It IS a beach wedding and I am going to wear a tiara. Would you wear jewelry and if so what type? I was thinking maybe white mother of pearl something. I don’t want any fancy jewelry because the gown is already so dressy for the beach.

Thanks!
Yeah, I think pearls would be too much for the dress too. I think that’s why I almost want nothing at all. Oh well.
I am going to wear my hair partially up with loose curls. I like the idea of a flower in my hair also instead of a veil. What do you think? I am leaning toward no necklace at all and just earings.
Your dress is beautiful! I would definitely steer clear of anything too big. I would be hesitant to wear anything at all, especially for a romantic yet simple beach wedding. Do you know how you are wearing your hair? How about a flower in your hair that matches your bouquet if you are having one?
Each year, many couples decide to nix a splashy wedding ceremony and celebration and instead elope to Washington State. Washington State and the Pacific Northwest offer some of the most fantastic elopement locations and venues for a couple and with picturesque mountains, water, countryside and much more, this State offers many wedding site options.
As you consider “where” to elope in Washington State, here are 6 fun location ideas for your easy and small wedding ceremony:
1) Leavenworth, Washington - A two-hour ride from Seattle, Leavenworth is a sweet little German town that welcomes weddings of all sizes in a big day. Here, you can find quaint inns and bed and breakfast places offering elopement packages at affordable rates, especially during off-season. While in Leavenworth, you can get married, enjoy a great overnight or two at a special place and perhaps celebrate your wedding bliss by taking advantage of many of the guided outdoor adventures – cross-country skiing, white water rafting or hiking.
2) Ruby Beach and the Washington State Coast - The Coast of Washington is a big place and little known Ruby is a beautiful and mesmerizing place to exchange wedding vows. Ruby Beach is located just South of Forks, Washington. Once you reach Ruby Beach, you and your officiant and witnesses can take a short hike down to the ocean and get married waterside. Consult the tide schedule to insure a best time for your ceremony and also take a peek at the map and Washington State ferry schedule as you plan your journey to the Washington Coast. For instance, if you are traveling to Ruby Beach from Seattle, it will take you 4-6 hours to get there, depending on what route you take.
3) Ashford, Washington (Mount Rainier) – If you and your Sweetheart are outdoor enthusiasts, consider getting married near or at the base of Mount Rainier. Eloping to the Ashford area and Mt. Rainier is best in the Spring and Summer season and the surrounding area offers luxurious as well as rustic accommodations for your wedding night.
4) Tulalip Resort & Casino – Calling all casino lovers! Believe it or not, the popular Tulalip Casino & Resort hosts a number of small and intimate wedding ceremonies each year. Located one hour North of Seattle, this plush resort not offers a fabulous casino but a wonderful resort where you can snuggle in and relish in your new married status!
5) The San Juan Islands (on the ferry or Island) – There is nothing more fun than getting married on a Washington State Ferry and/or hitching a ride on ferry and getting married on a Puget Sound island. Orcas Island and San Juan Island are two of the most popular “marrying islands” in Washington and offers a wide variety of locations and venues. Contact the Chamber of Commerce on both Islands for venue information.
6) Port Townsend, Washington – This seaside town is a favorite for couples in Washington State who want to elope but don’t want to travel too far. Port Townsend offers waterside locations as well as city parks for your wedding ceremony. And if you want to be married in a historic castle, check out Port Townsend’s Manresa Castle!

We TV beach wedding vows?
Did anyone else catch We TV’s “Beach Weddings” this past Sunday? One of the couples had beautiful vows, and even nore beautiful was what the minister 9female) said about the wedding rings. It was something about how the rings will get nicks and stratches, just as the bride and groom will but if you take it off and look inside it still ooks beautiful, just like the bride and groom will. I’d LOVE to have the exact wording for this if ANYONE can help!!!!
I’ve checked YouTube and couldn’t find it. And all We TV has is a guide of when the show was on.
have you looked for the episode on youtube? or does we tv have a way for you to watch the episode?
My fiance and I are planning a wedding for March/April of 2010 and cannot find a venue =( The ceremony we want ON the beach and the reception (indoors) as close as possible to the ceremony site. We are on a budget so I think hotels are going to be out of the question. Also, we’re looking for something on the west coast (for the sunset) If anyone could help with ANY suggestions we would greatly appreciate it! Maybe you or someone you know just got married on the west coast and could give us some ideas, thanks a lot!!!
There are several choices for coastline cities on the West side of FL.
and I will guess that they all offer some type of wedding package.
For what you want, I would suggest going with a hotel and package. Considering all the costs involved, you will come out better this way.
Specifically, without knowing any details, I can recommend
Sheraton 4 Points in the Destin/Ft.Walton area. Their prices were decent, you can have your ceremony on the beach and they will provide chairs, decorations, and they have a small, separate “cottage” with a deck for a reception where your guests would just walk back up to from the beach, as well as other indoor meeting rooms
With the variety of unique venues that are not only more accepted, but encouraged for weddings today, the choice for attire has followed suit. Casual wedding dresses are haute couture for weddings in backyards, at the beach, in the living room and even at the local corner deli(!) Casual wedding dresses beach wear can consist of a gauzy cotton gown that would later be suitable for a swimsuit cover-up. It’s all about the pairings of the bride and groom’s attire, along with the flowers and other decor.
Cheap casual dresses are the desire of many brides in today’s economic climate. The great thing about this is that there are lots of choices, and lots of inexpensive ways to look great. If you stop to think about it, you don’t want a great big, silk gown with Swarovski crystals and in-laid bead-work if you are exchanging vows in a casual ceremony in your parent’s backyard. Far more appropriate choices would be simple casual dresses, perhaps even short wedding dresses.
Very casual wedding dresses might reflect a bride’s sense of humor, like a costume of her favorite cartoon character. Casual might mean a tie-dyed t-shirt dress to someone who would also wear a wreath of flowers in her hair and hold a bouquet of wildflowers. Dresses no longer have to be white or covered with lace. Some brides choose to wear colored fabrics, animal prints and bold complimentary-colored sashes. And some brides choose not to wear a dress at all.
Themed weddings provide the perfect backdrop for a couple or even an entire wedding party that wants to wear casual attire. Halloween weddings are a perfect excuse to wear costumes surrounding a particular dress up theme or a monster “mash” where every guest wears the costume of their choosing. Western weddings complete with hay bales, country style flowers, a barbeque buffet and even horses are a fun alternatives for people who live a western lifestyle or merely enjoy country music. A cute cowgirl would look fantastic in a western-style, button-down, long-sleeved shirt, jeans and a cowboy hat. Oh, and don’t forget the boots!
Some of the most memorable photos and films of brides in history have captured brides wearing casual clothing. If you have an informal venue in mind for your wedding, consider keeping with the casual theme by incorporating your attire as well. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

High class restaurant (NOT a seafood or steak house) in Miami, Fort Lauderdale?
Me and my fiancee planning to do a getaway wedding just for two of us. So we are going to Miami next week – getting married on the beach, staying in Fontainebleau Hotel. But still haven’t decided which restaurant we want to go. It’s gotta be some classy restaurant where people dressed up (dress code perhaps required), not just people coming in shorts and sandals. (especially coz I’m gonna wear my wedding gown) Something spacious (i don’t want other people sitting inch away from me). With nice view. And cousin maybe french (or as long as i can get mash potatoes with pork or chicken LOL). Defiantly NOT a seafood restaurant (i don’t eat those things) and NOT a steak house. In Miami or Fort Lauderdale.
Any suggestions? Thank you
Here’s some websites with different restaurants. Have a great time in Miami it’s great =)
I was thinking hydrangeas (blueish) or tulips (pink and orange). The bouquets are a DIY project, and I like that both blooms will be very easy to hand-tie with minimal added “stuff”. Neither will have to be wired to keep the bloom standing up and both look pretty in single flower bouquets. What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions? BTW, the colors are a sort of pistachio green and sky blue. (Alfred Angelo’s pistachio green and pool blue)
I’m going to buy in bulk for the day of the wedding, but I will be getting a smaller order from the same florist to do some “trial runs” a few months before so that I have an idea of how long it will take, the condition that the flowers will arrive in, and how well the flowers will hold up :O)
My only concern would be that you chose delicate flowers and being on the beach involves a light breeze at best and strong gusts at worst, because the flowers are delicate you may run into a problem of the petals flying off the stems with the hydrangeas or the stems bending and possibly breaking with the tulips. Would it be possible to get a stem of each flower and head out to the beach one day when its really windy and see how they hold up under the conditions? This would probably give you a good idea of how they will hold up and you could make your decision based on your own experience.
If they do hold up, I think both choices sound lovely (like the tulips better if I had to choose).
Lillies are pretty hearty and strong and so are the old stand-by, roses, but I hope your choices work out because what you have planned sound much prettier.
Oh well.
