J- Crew is coming out with some really stunning wedding gowns, competing with some of the formost bridal designers in the industry. From what I have observed, J-Crew uses NICER material than some of the best designers in the business such as raw silks for their wedding gown line. It is very rare for a bridal manufacture to use raw silk, as it is one of the more expensive materials to use. Some European designers use raw silk, but from my experience it is almost never seen. Most companies use a silk-satan blend or satan. Anu Pam, is one company I can recall using Raw Silk, the same with St Pucchi, and Ian Stuart. I am sure many more designers use this material, just to say it is rare to see. If you have ever seen how beautiful raw silk looks, consider it for your gown as it is the most beautiful in my opinion.

Their gowns range in the thousands, but you can find some of their stunning gowns for a fraction of the price.

Picking something antique is one thing a girl could never go wrong with. In fact, costume jewelry was made much better during beginning of the 20th century than it is today, in terms of quality and elegance. For my wedding, I wore a large oversized rhinestone flower broch in my hair, from the 1920's. I attached a comb so it would stay in my hair and I was so pleased with it. Red Carpet jewelry has testified to the fact that the ornate looks of the Victorian era haven't gone out of style.

Isn't this true? - You are married now 20 years, and chances are, your guest book will be in a box somewhere, while your wedding photo album has been tattered because your kids have whipped it out so many times to look at Mom and Dad on their wedding day. So which do you want to put more energy into? Your wedding photo album, or your guest list? Why not combine them? How many times do people read a "sign in" guest list years after their wedding? People often don't look at these again because there isn't any touching comments, rather just a list of guests that have attended. 
Putting together your guest list can be one of the most stressful parts of planning any wedding. Not only do the bride and the groom both have opinions on who to invite, but also both sets of parents often insist on being involved in this process. Leaving someone special off of the guest list to your wedding can be an insult that will not soon be forgotten, but inviting too many people can be a financial burden that will stay with you long after the wedding is over. So what do you do? Are there some guidelines that can help make compiling a wedding guest list to be a more manageable process?
