As of 11/04, their website,
www.memoriesinminiature.net, was not working. This company
custom-creates miniature dolls of you in your wedding dress.
A little scary, but interesting, nonetheless. |

Always dreamed of a
dove release at your wedding? Well Angels in Flight may be
your answer! Get 2 doves in a decorated display cage for
$175, 2 doves released from a white heart-shaped basket or
by hand for $200, or go all out and get 6 doves released
from a wicker basket or chest for $250. Good website with
pricing info. |
Appetizers to Go 1-800-757-0058
12/04 |
So you're catering your own
reception and the Sam's Club appetizers weren't looking too
appetizing. Why not try Appetizers to Go? Figure about 7
appetizers per guest and go from there. Choose from yummy
selections like coconut shrimp, chicken teriyaki satay, brie
with honey mustard, or even dessert items like mini baklava
or cream cheese chocolate puffs. |

This book was my bridal bible
when I was planning my wedding. Now in it's 6th edition, the
authors go through every aspect of your wedding and tell you
how to not get ripped off. For $14.95 this book is a steal.
The same authors are also touting a new book called
Cyberbride that deals with online wedding planning. You
can order that book for $12.95 from the website. Or get both
books for $24.95. |
The
Bridal Quilt 888-886-3737 |
This is a very cool idea - have
your wedding dress made into a quilt after the wedding!

dry cleaning or restoration of the gown, 300 thread count
fabric as the backing, and a custom box made of acid-free
material. Over 150 hrs of work go into each quilt. They also
