Let's go Shopping! (Wedding or Bridal Party Dress)

For those of you that do know me, you will say that I "LOVE TO SHOP!" LOL! Especially for shoes! Smh...there's no secret about that! ;-) But when I tell you, that I can find SALES, you better believe me on that one! =)

Anyway since I'm planning my sister's wedding (September 24, 2011) as well as taking on the role as one of her bridesmaid.....of course I had to do a little shopping for a dress! While I was shopping online I came across some fabulous websites...and the PRICE WAS JUST RIGHT! =) So I thought I'd share them with you!

1. www.bestbridalprices.com

2. www.inweddingdress.com

3.http://shop.nordstrom.com/?origin=tab-logo

Anyone looking for bridal gowns, bridesmaids dresses, flower girl dress, and etc. Check out those websites! Their prices are amazing! But make sure you really do your research to find the one sale or deal that works within your budget!

By the way I think I may have found my bridesmaid dress!! It's from David's Bridal since they happened to have the right "Apple Red" color my sister wanted. Love this dress! Its so fun, elegant, and chic! =) AND...its on SALE! Yay! Even better! Hopefully I will still LOVE IT when I make plans to try it on this weekend! Fingers crossed, we'll see ;-) Maybe I'll even take a picture and share it with all of you to see for yourself! Happy Planning & Shopping! {Smooches!}

FABULOUS NEWS! :: "NATIVE EYES PHOTOGRAPHY" ::

Simply Unique Weddings & Events is proud to announce that we can FINALLY offer Photography Services along with our Wedding Planning & Rental services we currently offer. We're so excited about this new chapter opening with this business called "Native Eyes Photography by Mary Poston". Some of you already knew about it since I started making hints about it last year, but for those of you who didn't...no worries! When you get a chance, check out the {website}. It's still a work in progress, so check back every now and then for updates! :-) And feel free to let me know what you think!

Some asked if I would be taking a BREAK from wedding & event planning and to answer that question....NO OF COURSE NOT! Weddings will always be my PASSION as well as my main focus. I will be booking photography sessions as well as Wedding Photography services on days when Simply Unique Weddings & Events doesn't have any bookings. So it works out "OH SO WELL" together :-) I bought my first Nikkon Camera last fall, took some time to get to know my camera, did some shots the last several months and I am ready to roll! LOL! But on a serious note...Photography has always been another passion of mine, and I have wanted to do this for a very long time...so you cannot imagine how blessed and excited I am about this opportunity! :-D

So please feel free to spread the word about us! And while you're at it, if YOU or anyone you know of is interested in engagement, family, model, maternity, newborn, wedding, trash the dress, senior portraits, or any sorts of photos; contact me while the prices are LOW! Check the {website} for "SPECIALS". Thank you for your support and I look forward to working with you soon!
