Bridechka and the Wedding

Hello all, I am young Russian/Jewish/American girl (i.e. a Bridechka) planning her wedding in New York City. After much exasperation and frustration with all of the fluffy, stuffy, pricey and just plain boring wedding venues, flowers, favors, etc... I decided to start this blog to share my insights, inspirations, and ordeals in this process. I hope this blog can be a place where practical, modern, and chic brides and grooms can come together help each other out...I'm looking at you folks...

"Vee Make Your Dreemz Come Tru!"

This is what most Russians think a wedding should look like ....

Ummm, by the way, this is a completely real commercial!

But the sight of all of those chandeliers, windy staircases, gilded fixtures, and floor length mirrors kinda makes me wanna hurl. Its just not me and its definitely not the Big Guy. Oi.
