Our Modern Latina Bride Considers Evite & a Wedding Website
By Verky Arcos | 05/18/2011 - 12:20 | 4 Comments
I am very happy and comfortable with moving my wedding date, but the one thing that bothers me is the issue of my invitations. My wedding invitations were lovely (at least I thought so), and I put so much thought into them, so it’s too bad I won’t be able to use them. When I decided to postpone the wedding, I had already mailed all my invitations, which I should mention...
Our Modern Latina Bride Ponders a Kate Middleton-Style Grand Entrance

Recently there was a dry run for the arrival of the wedding with a Kate Middleton look-alike in tow. It is said that she will arrive in a car surrounded with about one thousand members of the British military on their horses and the newly minted royal couple will leave in a horse and carriage for their “first” kiss. Needless to say, Kate’s going to make a...

Since I’ve announced my wedding date, the amount of people who have offered to help in the process has been incredible. It’s been very telling of how much love we have around us, which makes me confident in knowing our day will be special because it will be filled with people who truly wish us well. Among these great people are many women – women that I love from all...
Our Modern Latina Bride's Love for Louboutin

I finally chose my wedding dress and while I am absolutely in love with it, I couldn’t be more excited about my shoes! Anyone who knows me knows I love fashion and above all else I am a shoe fiend. I DIE for a rockin’ pair of sky high stilettos (or any shoe for that matter), so when it came to buying my wedding shoes, I didn’t cut on costs and got these spectacular fancy...
Our Modern Latina Bride Goes Dress Shopping With Mami!

While I was still working on other details of the wedding I realized my mom had been patiently waiting for me to call on her. My sister (her only other daughter) eloped, so you can imagine her excitement to be involved in my wedding. I learned early on in this process that if you involve too many people you will get frustrated if they impose on your decision-making, so my...
Our Modern Latina Bride Locks In a Priest, Florist, and Photographer!

I’m so happy to say that Hec is better and I can get back to wedding planning. Now that I found the venue, it was time to research vendors. My priorities were finding a florist, photographer, and a priest to officiate our wedding. A DJ is the one thing the groom-to-be decided to handle himself, hence why everything else has been checked off the list except that (sigh)....

People have always told me what a nightmare it can be when creating your wedding guest list, but, of course, I thought it’d be different for me. After researching wedding guest list etiquette, I was certain that by following a few standards I could keep my initial (intimate) number down to 100 guests.
The criteria is as follows:...
Our Modern Latina Bride Opts for a Sunday Brunch Wedding!

Now that Hector is not involved in the planning process everything (in my head) has changed. I hope he doesn’t regret it later because he’s given me the green light and there’s no turning back now—I have a vision!
My inspiration came from a birthday card that my honey once gave me saying it reminded him of me, and to be honest, I’d like to think it reminds...
