It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases.

Your Dolls in Your Wedding??

Sep 26, 2007

    1. I absolutely adore themed weddings, they are just so fun and unique. When I got married I had a renaissance theme, with lanterns and topiaries as center pieces and little king and queen candles for favors. I think that if I had been into dolls as much as I am now, I would have had a toy themed wedding. My husband and I are two big kids and our house is filled with all sorts of toys. I would have done various little toys as favors and would have made the card box out of Legos, and the invitations would look like little comic books and of course I would have a doll there. I love to see weddings were people have crazy cakes, or have their first dance be the evolution of dance. It always seems so fun too me, when the wedding is quirky and shows off the personalities of the people getting married.
       
    2. i think its pretty cute, with the correct outfit and face up of course.
      but there might be problems, since some people are afraid of dolls and find them creepy. and of course the safety of the dolls.
       
    3. I know that I'm going to ask my sister if I could have my dolls, properly dressed of course, at her wedding. Just holding them throughout the reception.
      My dolls will be at my "wedding" with my friend Katie in the back of our drama class. And if I ever get married my dolls will definatly be there, dressed to match the best men and bride's maids. And they'll be set up in poses with the flowers or something.
       
    4. i would bring my dolls to my wedding -- they'd probably be left smewhere inconspicuous, though, so i'd have something to occupy myself and not freak out. also, they're probably the closest thing to children i'll ever really want.
       
    5. If I ever got married, I wouldn't mind having two of mine dressed as the bride and groom. Though it honestly depends on the location of the event too. I probably would get a little worried if they were placed somewhere that I couldn't glance over once in awhile to make sure they were okay. I probably would be concerned from time to time. But as long as they're somewhere that won't be disturbed by children, it's okay. And I do my own faceups, knowing people are prone to touching... so it doesn't bother me all that much if someone touches the face... as long as a kid doesn't grab one and drag it by the arm like a baby doll. XD

      But again, they'd be decorations. I'd just make sure that someone I trusts who knows how to handle/transport dolls takes them after the ceremony and then to wherever the reception is held.

      If that day ever comes, I honestly plan on making my own wedding dress and making my own decorations. So if I'm that involved, I'd see nothing wrong with making 1/3 replicas for my dolls and use them as decorations. :)

      Pukis btw, would make adorable cake toppers. o 3o
       
    6. I've been married for a few years. At the time of my wedding I didn't have any BJDs (I wanted one, but was still saving)
      I think I would have been tempted, but I don't think I would have included them in any way. I would be scared that people would harm the dolls...

      Besides I had a destination wedding and it was hard enough to plan all the wedding things without having to worry about my BJDs getting hurt, any extra stress wouldn't have been worth it!
       
    7. If I have my Souldoll Lidell before August she will DEFINITELY be sitting among the flowers on the head table at my reception. I don't think she would be at the ceremony though, unless my sister wanted to hold her or something while I'm saying my vows. I really want to make her a matching bridesmaids dress too, I think it would be adoreable. ^^ Here's hoping I have her before August 15th!

      (It's a small wedding too, so I wouldn't be so worried about her getting bumped around.)
       
    8. I'm getting married sometime next year but I don't think I'll have my boys at my wedding :sweat My family hates the fact I still have dolls :| They would do nothing but make fun of me.
       
    9. Erm, no. Even if I had dolls at that point, they would've remained home.

      1. I'm too worried about somebody treating them like a Barbie.
      2. Weddings are an absolute pain to plan. The last thing I need is worrying about how to coordinate my doll with the whole thing.
      2.1 The second-to-last thing I need is to spend more money to coordinate my doll with the wedding.
      3. We didn't end up staying for the whole thing anyway (I had the flu). Do you have somebody who knows how to store them properly? (Back to point #1.)

      OTOH, we had matching bride and groom teddy bears at the sign-in area and everybody loved them. So maybe people would like bride and groom dolls too. :) (Can you imagine a Puki Pongpong at the top of the cake? "Look what I climbed!")
       
    10. If I ever do get married (I'm somewhat of a loner and a little frightened of men,so yeah :|), I would definatly have my dolls in my wedding. I couldn't see myself getting married without them! Haha,instead of having a bouqet,i'd probably carry one of my dolls XD Hey,it saves money on flowers...My family is pretty big but most of them are dead anyway and I only have one younger cousin who is so sweet,she knows my stuff is important and won't touch it unless she asks,so I don't see a problem in having my dolls in my wedding. My wedding planning will probably think i'm crazy (haha,I already know who I want too,gotta start saving now XD ),but I could care less.
       
    11. Marriage is unlikely right now given my career (I'm late 20's so the start of the 'ideal' marriage and lower risk of divorce age bracket) but nope the bjds would stay home. Be a little odd in my opinion if an adult professional brought dolls to their wedding. I love them yes but not at that extreme of a level. Though totally open to others doing it if it goes with their day as they ARE the bride :). Also way too many alcoholics in the family that destroy venues. I'd be terrified having paper cups near them.
       
    12. I'd love to take one of my dolls to my lil brother's wedding, he's love it, but his fiancee is petrified of them :sweat Plus, y'know, it's abroad so it'd be a pain to take them :XD: As for my wedding, if I can convince my darling love I'd love to carry one of my girls holding a mini-bouquet rather than carry a bouquet myself ^^ But then, I'd be holding the wedding somewhere where I'd be able to put the doll away right away :) /sensible
       
    13. I personally think weddings are a sham & a waste of time and money, but that's just me. Am a firm believer in everyone floating their own boat. People get married while skydiving, while scuba-diving, while naked, in Vegas, in enchanted forest glades, in drag, on horseback, on motorcycles, on fire.... why not with dolls?

      The notion of marriage as some big dull sacred ritual with all these Do's & Don'ts is just about finally dead. (canya gimme halleljah) People today can get hitched in any way they see fit, any way that celebrates who they actually are. There is nothing sadder than an ordinary, boring, clockwork-routine wedding where everyone dresses the same & acts by a script-- even though you know the bride and groom are both far-out funky people with their own style, who're only doing it to fulfill family expectations. If you're a sneaker person, instead of a patent-leather-shoe person, then get married in sneakers. If you're a doll person, then have dolls at your wedding.

      :fangirl: OK, I'ma come to your family's next wedding! Comic book invitations & Lego favors.....
       
    14. Oooh, if I had my dolls way back man moons ago when I got married, you bet I would've had a few at my wedding all dressed up and hanging out! We got married on such a whim, on Halloween (we'll never forget the date!) while wearing our costumes...I wore my great grandmother's white and cream elaborately beaded flapper dress, which I would've wore anyway regardless of the holiday and hubby was dressed in his best to match the theme. I'm pretty sure my dolls would've been all dressed in costume as well too!
       
    15. If I get married, I'm really hoping that my boy will get me a doll rather *or in addition to :drolls * ring ^___^ It was a joke my friend made actually, more or less saying that he better not get me a ring/just a ring, cause it would mean he really didn't know me at all xD
      I really hope if I get married to have my dolls there, and maybe marry 2 of them as well! I'd hope to have pretty dresses/suits/tuxes and have the "mini-wedding crew"
       
    16. No. To me having your dolls at your wedding borders on a bit obsessive. I love this hobby, but it seems like that's taking it into unhealthy proportions - where it starts to creep into your daily life and important events. What's next? Having your dolls there at the birth of your first child?
      (I plan to elope anyway. Why spend thousands of dollars and stress out for months on end when all you want to do is be together?)
       
    17. I'm getting married in November, and of course my girls are going to be there! Two of my bridesmaids are dollie-folk, and everybody's getting fancy new duds for the occasion. A chunk of the people I'm inviting are dollie-folk too, and I'm going to encourage them to bring thier families along.
      Dolls are important to me, and I'd love to have a representation of that at my wedding. That and it'll scare the bejeezus out his family. *muahahah* XD
       
    18. Personally, I wouldn't, but whatever floats ya boat! I'm way too much of a control freak to have the added worry of the dolls there. :lol:
       
    19. Actually yes. My dollfies are an outlet of creation to me. So of course I'd have them there. When Im in labour I hope to have my dollfies there so I can look at them and think of the next faceup or perhaps the next photoshoot! :)

      Oh I think my dollfies should be at my wedding (if I ever get married :D). It wouldnt be the same without them! :D But I'm happy enough single and living with them and my cats. :D
       
    20. I don't see it, sorry :sweat I mean, thousands of dollars on these damn things, I for one am getting my money's worth!! :XD: I can see other things being 'obsessive' but taking your dolls to your wedding? Come now :3 As someone else said - people get married doing all sorts of wacky stuff, and if you've spent so much time and effort painting them and clothing them and creating characters for them and bonding with them, then I don't think there should be any taboo against taking them to your wedding (or the birth of your children, or wherever you like). After all, some people spend literally all their free time sewing for them or photographing them or whatever - and that's not obsessive? I really really don't get it :sweat
