As a bride you need to stand your ground on this one.  Between finding the actual  dress and actually rounding the ladies up, this may be your biggest challenge.  It is your day.  Just recently I watched a bride be entirely undermined by her party and she lost control, thus she did not get to have her girls wear what she wanted.  She left nearly in tears.  My heart broke for her.  So what should we learn here?  You asked these girls to be a part of the biggest day of your life.  If they really respect you they will wear what you pick.  If they try to take over maybe  you should consider your other options for girls.  From what i have seen she will not stop the complaining with the dress.  Negativity need not be present while you plan your future.

On a happy silly note;  Go ahead and have an outburst each day.  Just start singing or dancing(Ellen does it).  Be crazy!  My kids think I am a looney sometimes.  Live Laugh Love

Attention all blog readers!  I have a slew of wedding gowns that i would like to unload at a substantial discount.  I simply need to make room for more goodies.  This week alone we got in 8 new wedding gowns.  And if you know anyone going to a prom, i have tons of prom  gowns!  I register the dresses so that no one can buy the same dress even in a different color to your school.

Words of wisdom for all of you today are:  Focus on achieving one small task at a time.  There are so many small details to deal with.  For each week make a small to-do list; 5 things tops to accomplish.  This is supposed to be a happy time for you.  DELEGATE tasks too.  That man of yours can and will move mountains for you, and he will be so happy if you ask him to.

I am the MADONNA of Bridal Shops, constantly reinventing things. Color of the Bridal Gallery itself has changed a gizillion times. It started out(on North St) as pukie pink. Then we went to baby blue. Now we are going into PURPLE. We have just expanded our prom room and Clique’s studio is now larger. And PURPLE is oozing in all hues. Only worry if the sign morphs cone shaped boobies with FANTASTIC bustiers .
