Pre-owned Wedding Decorations: I like this option because it’s not necessarily one that everyone thinks about. Its not like you’re reusing flowers and napkins, it’s the cake server you use only once, the large/colored candy dishes you need for the centerpieces, the Victorian themed wedding gift card box you wanted so much. You can look for these pre-owned items anywhere, but I recommend checking out Etsy.com, RecycledBride.com, or even asking anyone of your friends who’s gotten married lately if they have anything you could use. 24 hrs before my wedding I realized I didn’t have 1)a unity candle (it’s a Catholic thing), 2)a cake server, and 3)a case to hold the bubbles everyone used when my husband and I left the church. Thank goodness one of my bridesmaids tied the knot a month before and was able to dig up all of the above.

Karen you are hilarious and we here at Adorn just love you.
The whole process of getting married seems to be targeted towards the bride. In fact, many of your friends and family will say to your soon-to-be husband “Let her do whatever she wants, its HER day”. It’s great to be the center of attention during this hectic time in your life but what about your guy? He’s getting married too and needs just as much attention preppin’ for this big day as you do. The problem is that 95% of wedding websites are catered towards the female perspective so where should they go?
on just about every topic: getting engagement, getting married, ring buying guides, bachelor party guides (my personal favorite), honeymoon handbooks, and tons of checklists. Its important to make your main man feel special during one of the biggest times in both your lives.
Diamond Bracelets with Umph: Kate Winslet is the picture of classic beauty with her form fitting black Atelier Yves Saint Laurent gown with sparkle trim.
