Real Wedding, Real Talk ...

Really get to know your dress.” – Mrs. Barbara Perlongo

I’ve been told the old adage “beauty is pain” and I have even said it one too many times myself, but let’s face it on your wedding day please pick a dress that is comfortable! Your wedding dress is going to look stunning, so take Barbara’s advice and really get to know the dress you pick. (This is why the best bridal advice is from brides themselves!) Barbara and Jerome, one of the charming couples that had both their ceremony and reception at The English Manor stopped by to chat with the owner and general manager, Lisa Truesdale this past Monday. Barbara said the day couldn’t have been more wonderful, but she wished she remembered a few key things about her dress. For instance, Barbara wished she knew that her dress had a little wristlet loop to slide onto her wrist. This would have made walking around with her dress a lot easier. It’s something planners and guests don’t really think about, but take Barbara’s advice and make sure you get to know your dress so you can move easily and freely throughout your reception!

On another note, everyone here at The English Manor has officially coined Barbara’s phrase “Lady of Honor” in substitution of the old phrase “Maid of Honor”. It’s about time for a change, so kudos to Barbara for the great idea!

Stay posted because I will be putting up some pictures (taken by Lisa Truesdale) from Barbara and Jerome’s wedding ceremony on October 11, 2009. Until then, remember Barbara’s words of wisdom!
