My tried and true tanning go to is the Xen Tan self tanner- I have used this for every wedding that I've been in (a lot!) and will also be using this for my own wedding this October. I've found that this brand has the most natural effect for me of any other self tanner I've used (tan towels, saint tropez, fabulous, tanning salon spray tans to name a few! I work with oncology so I avoid tanning beds as much as possible!) and this tan lasts a little under a week. This used to come in a foam with a nice vanilla scent and that one was my favorite, it has a nice olive undertone so it does not leave your skin looking orange! Lately I haven't been able to find the foam so I've been getting the dark tanning weekly lotion, which works just as well. I posted the link below for this on Amazon, but I've also seen this in stores like Ulta. I think the key to this one and probably any other self tanners is to use a tanning mitt, and I like to mix this with regular lotion when applying so it blends in smoothly and dilutes the color a little if you are more on the pale side like me, plus it lets you apply this a little more gradually if you wanted to apply a little each day so you can figure out what shade works best for you. The tanner itself has a tint to it so you can see where you've already applied and make sure you don't have any streaks. Another thing I love about this brand is that they have a tool that you can use to apply this to your back- which is just awesome. After you apply this it takes about 3 hours to set and will gradually get darker, and then you rinse off the "top coat"/excess and you are ready to go! I usually apply this 1-2 days before an event, but definitely practice a couple weeks ahead of time! Another tip I have with any self tanner in general is to make sure not to use body lotions with heavy fragrances as the alcohol in the lotion can contribute to breaking down the self tanner so it won't last as long, plus can end up a little blotchy in some cases!

I hope this helps, and congratulations!

Or, if you got money to burn and are aiming for ~elegance~, get an embosser. I get all of mine from Wiltshire Graphic Press and have been pleased as punch with them. I have 4 plates and I still want more... I think I have a problem :P

Pricey, yes, but they're really awesome, willing to work with you to make sure you get exactly what you want in whatever size, shape, and/or font you want it, and you will not be disappointed.

My sizing recommendation:

  • get the regular (short) version if you plan to emboss:
  • only the back flap for address labels
  • top/bottom/side/corner edge of standard sheets of paper (custom stationery, trés chic!)
  • only stickers/labels exclusively (which is what we did)
  • get the extra long-reach embosser only if you are planning on embossing address labels onto envelopes directly in the standard upper-left area on the front (for Americans, not sure where other countries put their return addresses)

    The regular embosser can sort of reach into normal envelopes to emboss the paper directly, but the result will be crooked or the paper will crinkle from being jammed into the embosser's throat no matter how careful you are.

    Other thoughts:

  • If using stickers/labels, make VERY SURE that your embosser plate will fit on whatever sticker/label you buy!!!
  • You will not be able to emboss cardstock
  • Don't use too much or too little force. It'll take you a few tries to get the optimal pressure for an uniformly-embossed impression.

    Our rave for WGP: I originally bought a desktop embosser from WGP with just our last name and address on it since hubby's mom has had an embosser for years and I really like it. I didn't mind using his last name early since it'd be my last name eventually and I didn't really want to spend $35 to get a "Mr. and Ms." just to use it for the duration of our engagement only to chuck it out and spend another $35 for a "Mr. and Mrs." version. Ain't nobody got money for that. The WGP embosser still performs beautifully even after what's got to be thousands of impressions, still crisp and clear and very easily readable.

    Later during the wedding planning phase, I/we had a brilliant idea. Hubby and I are a bunch of nerds and wanted an insignia monogram, but the normal traditional letter-only monograms are so boring and same-y. We paid for artwork featuring a calligraphic monogram incorporating elements from both of us and plastered it everywhere in the wedding:

  • the wedsite
  • silver address labels for envelopes
  • round silver stickers for the back of envelopes (STDs, invites, thank-you cards) (these but in silver)
  • treat bag labels (we bought a circle die-punch like for scrapbooks, cut out cardstock, monogram-embossed round silver sticker on the back and guest's name on the front)
  • cupcake toppers (same as above, but with a extra-long toothpick stuck in the cardstock halves)
  • our venue offered light discs to shine on the dance floor - $300 savings there since we already had the artwork done

    You name it, if it could fit a 2" round silver sticker, I put a sticker on it. I blame my 8 year old Lisa Frank inner self. :> And you know what? It was worth it, because every single person who came to the wedding (and even some of the vendors!) complimented us on how elegant and personalized the whole thing was.

I loved making my fabric flower bouquets! I don't know what research you've already done but assuming you want to make variety of flower types, I followed a few tutorials found online and did a lot of improvising.

Here's mine: http://imgur.com/a/Rblkg

Here are a few questions as a starting point:
Do you have a sewing machine or serger? (not necessary but it helped me make a different type of flower that I loved)
Are you making matching bouquets for your bridesmaid?
Do you have the time to make these? (it took me over 60 hours to make mine plus 3 bridesmaids - this included the time it took to master the learning curve)

You'll need:


Fabric, lots of fabric. Mostly if you are make more that just your own. Otherwise a quarter yard of a few different fabrics should be enough for a smaller bouquet like mine. I was looking for a soft low key style and chose colors accordingly. The bright blue ones are to make the bouquet pop a little more and are close to matching the bridesmaids' dresses.

I used
chiffon
tulle
crepe (but really I just scoured the remnants section of Joanns for something that would work and had the right color)
colored chiffon
lace fabric (or regular lace if you prefer)

Fabric scissors (makes the cutting process much easier) and regular scissors (never use fabric scissors on anything but fabric)

Beads, buttons, gems etc if you plan to add a little adornment to each flower (I didn't for the rolled rose looking ones but all others had something)

Bouquet holder. I used one like this

Floral wire

Floral tape (though I found this ended up not being necessary although if you decide to make boutonniere they would look much better)

Felt (I used it for the backing on my flowers but it's likely you wouldn't need it if you put the flower together including the floral wire rather than after like I did)

Here's how I made a few of the different flower types:


The dusty pink lace rose: I followed this tutorial except that I used cut strips of lace fabric instead of ribbon and I used my serger to gather the fabric. If you want a less uniformed look as I did, fold up the fabric/ribbon and cut a wave pattern on one side. When you roll it up if looks more varied.

The pale blue and pink flowers: I did something similar to what is found here. Here's an easy way to cut many out at once. I created a base by adding one or two cut outs on the bottom and sewing the petals onto that. Another difference was that I used a chiffon(white) and tulle(colored - pink or blue depending on which flower i was making) combo I cut out twice as many tulle as chiffon and when I layered the fabric I layered them: tulle, chiffon, tulle, then I folded then like in step 3. These are the ones that I added the pearl beads to. turned out nicely. I also tried using just circles rather than flower cutouts and it works just not as well on a larger scale. I made 1inch flowers for a hair comb I made my flower girl and those came out great!

*The purple and bright blue flowers: I was inspired by this tutorial. I decided to try for a more daisy look and while I gather the fabric I simply flattened the look and added the button on the purple flowers and beads on the blue ones.

The bases I simply hot-glued a small felt circle to the back of the flower. I then made a flat surface from the floral wire and hot glued a second piece of felt on top. I used light pink felt on the pink and purple flowers and light blue felt on the the blue flowers. Honestly, this part I completely improvised so I'm not sure how helpful it'll be.

Here are some other ideas that I ended up not using:

I recently purchased the book A Practical Wedding and it was super helpful! it has all kinds of planning tools but it also gives you tons of ideas for saving money... some of the advice may be a little common sense, but there were a lot of suggestions in the book i was super surprised by - like having a brunch wedding instead of a dinner to save money (so you can spend it elsewhere or invite more guests)

a practical wedding

one of the things that was super helpful, is it suggested to make a list of what is most important to you and your partner and go from there! good luck planning :)

u/mango4mouse · 1 pointr/wedding

I don't have bridesmaids but several friends are attending my bachelorette party this coming weekend. So I got each one these picture frames and then added a picture of the 2 of us in it.


Another idea I was thinking about was theming the gift around their favorite drink. So if my friend liked martinis, I'd look for a nice vodka in my price range and gift that along with a nice martini glass. This was my original plan, but had a friend (who's no longer coming) who might be an alcoholic (long story)...so nixed that idea real quick.

We also preferred money, but living in the South we were told that just asking for cash is frowned upon and would likely lead to people giving us housewares that we didn't really need. We signed up through Honeyfund.com and created a page explaining to people that since we had consolidated our households earlier in the year, we really didn't need any of the traditional wedding gifts and would prefer for people to help pay for our honeymoon. We also pointed out that we were paying for the wedding ourselves. Then we just noted on our invites and wedding website that we were registered at Honeyfund.com.

Most people just donated online, but we put up a wishing well at the reception for those who preferred to give cash or check. We bought this wishing well on Amazon, and it was fantastic. Looked great with the rest of our decor and had a lock on it to prevent stealing. We also put a few fake cards in there so people knew what it was for, and we placed a sign next to it that read, "For your cards and gifts - THANK YOU!"

We ended up financing most of our honeymoon this way, and I'd say 90% of our guests donated to the Honeyfund. Some people tried to convince me to make a traditional registry "just in case", but I'm glad I didn't because I bet a lot more people would have just used that instead. The few "actual" gifts that we got were all very personalized things that we never would have thought to ask for in a registry, so that was actually very nice (handmade things like personalized aprons, embroidered pillows, etc). Oh, and wine, which I'm never going to turn down!

Found this on Amazon. You would have to paint them yourselves but if you use Amazon prime you can get them there in two days with free shipping! I would definitely email the seller when they get back and make them give you a refund though!

I also found this tutorial for tips on painting them yourself!

EDIT: Also found this that's like a kit in one for making peg people. Don't know if it's any good or not but might be a little better!

I also know a lot of people use salt and pepper shakers for toppers because they conveniently come in pairs. They have a lot of really cute kissing shakers! That might also be an idea.

u/TheFutureMrs77 · 2 pointsr/wedding

Oh man, it is SUPER beautiful! Do you have it with the blush underneath?!

Not sure if you're a sparkle kind of girl or not. My dress, though similar in style and edging, is SUPER sparkly... it has sparkle mesh and sparkly beads on it, which is why I went with sparkly accessories. I just want to shimmer all day :)

I think pearl accessories would look really good with your dress because it's more of a muted beauty.

For hair pieces I imagine something like this, this, or this (this one is my personal fave!).

I think some of these pieces of jewelry might look nice with your dress as well:

earrings

Classic pearl set

Pearl & pave set

Earrings

Dramatic pearl set

Statement necklace (although maybe not this one because dang that's pricey!)

Ooooooh and I just stumbled upon this floral crown.... Not really sure what your colors are or what your theme is, but if your dress DOES have blush underneath it, I think this would look just stunning!!

Hopefully this is helpful! I don't know your style, but these are just some things I would imagine putting with your dress :)

u/Jesus-slaves · 7 pointsr/wedding

I know you're not serious, but people have looked at me dead in the face and asked these questions.. so here goes:

When Catering Your own Burritos

  • How casual is the attire for your event? Burritos can be messy, especially if people make their own or proper utensils aren't supplied.

  • In addition to chafing dishes, you'll need serving utensils, plates, foil, and eating utensils.

  • Will you be indoors or outside? It's easier to keep food at acceptable temperatures inside (don't make food poisoning the reason guests remember your wedding) unless you have access to power and ice while outside.

  • How many guests will you be serving? How prepared do you want to be for surprise guests? What will you do with any significant amount of leftover food? Will you need to accommodate any food allergies?

  • Do you want a make-your-own burrito bar or will someone be prepping them for guests? Again, your guests will likely make a mess, unless you invite a lot of Chipotle employees. Your guests will also serve themselves at a snail's pace. A cafeteria style buffet line is best, but then you need willing volunteers or you'll need to pay servers.

  • Will you be using basic [aluminum pans with holders](http://www.partycity.com/product/chafing+dishes+aluminum+pans.do#Chafing Pans & Lids) and sterno or will you purchase/rent fancy looking equipment?

  • Will size tortillas will you use? Here are some 13" and here are some 10".

  • How will you steam the tortillas and/or keep them warm as well as prevent them from tearing and sticking? Most non-industrial steamers heat one 10-inch tortilla at a time. A professional steamer runs upwards of $400, depending on capabilities. Unless you have an exorbitant budget (which you don't if you're DIYing catering), can find a good rental place, or want to open a restaurant after your honeymoon an industrial steamer probably isn't worth it.


  • What toppings will you provide? Generally offered are: seasoned rice, black or refried beans, grilled peppers and onions, corn salsa, picante, regular salsas, flavored and regular sour cream, olives, jalapenos, onion, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Guacamole and melted white cheese (queso!) are also popular.

  • You need about a tablespoon (poker chip) to two tablespoons (golf ball) of sour cream, depending on the guest and the other toppings (0.5oz to 1oz).

  • There are thousands of burrito recipes online and a ton of recipe multipliers.

  • You need about 4oz of meat per burrito, 6oz if the guest doesn't want any rice/beans. You need about 2-3oz each of rice and beans. The other toppings are according to preference and how they'll fit in the tortilla.

  • I would consider doing taco bowls instead of burritos.

No that’s not inappropriate. The best wedding speeches consist of detailed stories told with enthusiasm and passion. It sounds like you’ve got the beginning of a great one.

I certainly don't have the figure that the model has, but I was happy with the fit. Check out the customer reviews with pics on Amazon. That helped me envision what it looks like on.

You can totally do it, it'll just be fast paced from the get go. You'll have to prioritize to get things done in the right time frames.
This planner helped me, it has great tips and timelines, but it has way more stuff than any sane bride is actually going to use. If you get it, just throw away the pages that you don't care so much about.
Pointers from me personally would be to set your budget and guest list as soon as possible as they dictate almost all of the decisions that follow. Then find a venue and photographer, as they book up fast. And finally, if you want a wedding gown done the traditional way (made to your specific measurements, instead of trying to find something that is already the right style/size) you should start looking now.
You will definitely be able to get it done! Hope it's not too stressful!

I really recommend this book

Also make a day of itinerary and give it to your wedding party and vendors. Everyone was so thankful I made an itinerary and it made the day go much smoother and cut out a toonn of stress.

Let people help you. Don't try to do everything by yourself. But in doing that, don't let people walk all over you either. It's your wedding, so try not getting pulled into the "I have to make everyone happy" circle of death. You really have to learn how to say no.

Also don't focus too much on the ceremony itself. It's really all about the relationship with your husband afterward. A lot of times people get so carried away with the wedding that they forget why they're getting married in the first place. I really recommend pre-marital counseling wether it is religiously focused or not. It really helped my husband and I's relationship grow stronger and we learned a ton about each other that we didn't know. We started really understanding each other and why we thought things should be a certain way and it made it easier to compromise on things.

u/DoctorFaustus · 29 pointsr/wedding

No, I would not feel cheated. Those people are being ridiculous. Careful about reading anything on the Knot, you will start feeling insufficient very quickly and for no good reason. I highly recommend APracticalWedding.com and the book that goes with it; it's extremely refreshing to hear a sane person speak about weddings after being immersed in the likes of The Knot and other popular wedding blogs.

Not for a wedding; I got this for a 1920s costume event in winter, but I was surprised by how luxurious and nice this felt for the price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MRZQQ1U/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
