First, some progress. :) It's not much, but I want to show of my family's pretties!

in the past week or so, my mom found her dress, my sample flower from DK Designs came in, and my sister found her dress. :) My mom and sister look absolutely BEAUTIFUL, and the flower is amazing. :D Pictures ahoy!

very pretty venue!

The only thing I can think of is those sticky cups that hook together (I have purchased them from Target before, but I know other stores have them). I didn't wear them for my wedding but have worn them out to bars and such and they stay put pretty well and provide the same effect as a push up bra. I am on the small side of a B cup too so I can commiserate :-/

[nacho_cheese]

Thanks! :)

That's a great idea! I've seen them before, but have never known anyone who tried them, so I was skeptical. I'll have to give them a shot!

Are they multiple use, or just single use?

[sarcasticsiren]

They're called Nu-Bras! You can use them many times, probably something like 100, but you have to keep them very clean and in their little case - and never put them on when you have lotion or anything on your skin. If you're a B cup, they should work - any bigger and I'm skeptical :) To give yourself more cleavage, put the two cups on your breasts, fairly far apart, and then clip the cups together - this will push your breasts together and give you cleavage! We sell a lot of these to wardrobers and such, and I rarely get complaints. They seem to work well unless you are more busty than a small C.

I know too much about bras. *sigh*

[nacho_cheese]

Oh, awesome! :D That's so good to hear; I wouldn't want to pay for something I can only use once. If I can get more cleavage on a more consistent basis? Oh yeah, totally down for that, lol. And great, sounds like I'm the perfect size! Ooh, I'm going to pick some up, wear a low-cut shirt on FH's and my anniversary (next Friday, zOMG), and lean over the dinner table... ::devilish grin::

Ahem. Anyway. I'm glad you do! Balances out my lack of knowledge! ;)

Oh my word, your mom looks FANTASTIC, heels and all!

[nacho_cheese]

Doesn't she, though? My mom's so beautiful. :)

[kutie_kara]

WOW! Your mom and sister both look incredible! LOVE your sister's dress. I think that might be the short version of what Gena is wearing in Rachel's wedding. (Rach? Gena? Is it?)

Also, that flower is GORGEOUS! Are you doing all white roses, or what?

[nacho_cheese]

Thank you! :D They really do! I was sooo happy when I saw them in those dresses; they look incredible! And yes, Gena actually mentioned that on FB earlier. I swear, you have the memory of an elephant!

(Also, how are we not FB friends yet?!)

And thank you! I was REALLY surprised by it. We're not doing all roses; instead, we're doing burnt orange callas, mini pumpkins, astromelia, chocolate brown king protea, reddish green hipernicum berries, and burnt orange/white roses. (That sounds like a lot now that I write it all out, lol.) So we have a teeny sample of what the whole thing is going to be! :)

[kutie_kara]

Haha if I don't request you by tomorrow morning, request me! I plan on going to find you as soon as I post this, but I always click things and get distracted! LOL

And OMG how do you incorporate a mini pumpkin into a BOUQUET?!?!?!

[nacho_cheese]

LOL! I do the same thing. XD It's awful!

Oh, and I sent her this picture and asked if she could include them! Apparently, they're related to eggplants and are properly called Solanum, but they're also called pumpkin trees. :D

[nacho_cheese]

Thank you! I sure thought so, too! :D

Oh god. They've had so many birds over the years (adoptions forced on them by neighbors, my sister's obsession with parakeets...) that I'm not entirely sure anymore. XD I do know they currently have two parakeets (Jelly and Ham*, I think), two cockatiels (Angel and Sweetie), and one green Amazon parrot (Dodge).

* Like I said, my sister had a parakeet obsession. They were named Ham, Cheese, Peanut Butter, Jelly, and she had two more sets, I think, with equally silly names. XD

[nacho_cheese]

SHE DOES. :D She inherited them from my grandma; my grandpa always loved to talk about my grandma's legs, and from what I see in photos from when grandma was younger, the legs definitely run in the family! :)

Ooh, that might work. I don't know about cups (unless they can support and lift? I don't know how they work, lol), but I'll ask, and will definitely look into a bustier! Thank you!

[nacho_cheese]

It's not really corset-style -- the boning is really weak and spaced far apart. That doesn't matter too much, as I don't have too much to support(!), but I hope I can still get cups or something in there! If not, Nu-Bra it is. :)

And thanks! Haha, to both! I sure like to think I have my mom's legs, though for being 50-something (oh god, don't let her know I told you that, lol), she does have some HOT legs. :D
