Short Wedding Dresses by Alfred Angelo

I like to think of the Alfred Angelo Collection as the working woman’s haute couture. Sizes from 2 to 28W? He’s your man. Something to cover your shoulders? He’s got you covered with long sleeve lace bolero jackets. Modest necklines? No eye-popping cleavage if he has anything to do with it. This fall Alfred Angelo has a selection of casual wedding dresses, short on fabric but not on style. For smart brides trying to figure out why a three-tier wedding cake costs $500 plus another mind-blowing $120 for delivery, affordable wedding dresses are a welcome relief.

Bridal Flower Hair Combs

At last! Wedding hair flowers have been in such demand this year it’s been hard to keep them in stock. A hard thing, but a good thing. And now we have even more white organza hair flowers and ivory and cafĂ© organza flowers, more affordable than tiaras and a lot more versatile. They are large pieces, average size about five inches with natural ivory feathers and crystal, rhinestone and freshwater pearl accents. Find your perfect match.

Happy Marriage Surveys



















Do we really need another survey telling us what makes a happy marriage? I give you my Number One Reason and I’ve been married a long time. My husband likes to vacuum. A man who vacuums is a sweeper keeper. A few years ago I seduced him into thinking a $299.95 Oreck XL Classic Vacuum Cleaner would turn me into the carpet-cleaning-loving woman of his boyhood dreams, because it weighed only nine little pounds so I’d be crazy not to vacuum every carpet, every piece of furniture, every day and twice on Sunday. But I soon found out I didn’t have his poise, his pride, his passion. And he found out I have selective short-term memory loss. Here you will find a basic list conducted with a sample of over 20,000 married couples from all 50 states. These are the ten areas that separate the happy (average score 85%) with the we-had-every-intention-to-be-but-it-was-trickier-than-we-thought happy (average score 25%).

  • I am very satisfied with how we talk to each other

  • We are creative in how we handle our differences

  • We feel very close to each other

  • My partner is seldom too controlling

  • When discussing problems, my partner understands my opinions and ideas

  • I am completely satisfied with the amount of affection from my partner

  • We have a good balance of leisure time spent together and separately

  • My partner's friends or family rarely interfere with our relationship

  • We agree on how to spend money

  • I am satisfied with how we express spiritual values and beliefs

Pinecone Wedding Centerpieces

Pinecones, the cheapest wedding decoration you’ll ever find for your Fall or Winter wedding. I’ve got a bunch of the pesky devils right now in my own back yard. Great for decorating and the occasional sprained ankle when you clip one with your right foot and come down hard on your left. Tip a pinecone sideways and use it as an eco-friendly placecard. Stack ‘em, shellac ‘em, group them with candles and leaves. Bring Nature to the table for FREE. Just watch your step.
