I gave my FI the idea of wearing a suit and he was against it! LOL!
He wants he and his BM in collared shirts and linen pants.
My bridesmaids are wearing green and white strapless dresses from David's:
David's Bridal - Bridesmaids, Dress Detail

I chose this dress for myself: David's Bridal - Bridal Gowns A9177 Charmeuse halter gown with cinched empire waist and beaded detail.

The alternate view really shows you what the dress looks like.
I'm happy it got good reviews! I think it looks better ON though! : ) .

My FI will be wearing a linen suit from Macys with a white linen shirt. Below are the pics of the jacket and pants, and the shirt, but instead of the blue, its white. He is wearing tan sandals.

Groomsmen are wearing this shirt (with light blue instead of tan) with tan slacks and brown flip flops or sandals (i let them pick their own pants and shoes, not sure if that was a smart thing to do). Everything for the FI and the GMs is Cubavera, I just love their stuff.

Bridesmaids are wearing this dress from David's Bridal. This is also the color.

Hello,
I can't seem to figure out how to get my picture on the side, like you girls have. Do I have to be a member? How do I become a member?
Thanks,
Melissa

You're a member of the site, but to get to the 'Member' level (so it says Member next to your picture), you need to have 100 posts.

Here is my dress, I haven't posted it yet becuase I dont like the picture. I'm no longer wearing the pearls though.

Just wanted to add, the picture was taken right after we got back from Aventura Palace last year, so I was all tan, no longer.

Pookie, Your dress is beautiful! And you look georgous in it!!!!

Thank you Dez, you're so sweet. I think I'm building an aversion to my dress. When I first bought it, I was totally into the whole princess thing, as was my mom. She made me buy gloves and a tiara to go with it. As it gets closer to the wedding, I'm trying to figure out how to ditch the gloves (above the elbow white gloves in 300 degree Mexico heat in July) and the tiara, without hurting my mom's feelings. She's totally into it, and she bought the tiara and it was really really expensive. So everytime I see the dress it reminds me of how I'm going to be hot and weirdly overdressed on the beach in Mexico.

Hehe, I'd say keep the tiara (then again, I'm planning on having one LOL), but the gloves...hmmm...maybe blame the heat and humidity and tell her your hands are sticky and swollen (my hands swell when it's hot) and you'd be more comfortable without them (I know, not a great mental imagine but)...

Oh, or tell her you read on here about other brides who wore gloves and it was a nightmare, so you're rethinking it...if you want, we can start a thread on it so you can show her...and "should I or shouldn't I" thread...just let me know and I'll start it :) (of course, that's assuming the thread goes the way we want it to lol)
