January 2009 Brides Post Here

soontobeamrs - thanks for the dollar tree tip! i'm heading that way tomorrow!

dez - we're having one big shower (co-ed) on december 6...i wish it were sooner! have fun @ yours, and give us the scoop!!

albertabride - welcome welcome! if anyone can provide organizational tips, it's the girls @ BDW! you have a lot done! happy planning!

Here is all my wedding stuff 'so far' mostly just clothing picked out. I have talked to a vendor about my flowers but I'm not sure if she's over charging?

My Dress!!

BM's only we're doing 2 in Aqua and 2 in salmon

Flower Girl Dresses (and my baby girl!)

Suit from LeChateau (pants will match they're ordered). I think we're doing the GM in only the vest. Do you guys think those suits with aqua dress shirt would look okay That's what FI wants he doesn't like how plain the white shirt looks.

albertabride - great pics! your dress is beautiful!!! your baby girl is so so precious...

love the suit! they'll look super snazzy!

ok girls, i need some advice! my colors for the wedding are navy blue and "sunflower" yellow (not to be specific or anything...haha), and i'm trying to envision our ceremony....

colors (bmaids' dress detail with sash)

this picture is from the sheraton hacienda del mar website and is basically what made me want a DW....

soooo, we won't be that close to the water but oh well! i know we'll have white chair covers (required and provided), but i can't decide if i want white sashes or navy sashes on the chairs....white sashes are free but navy are approx. $4 per sash...the petals will be yellow rose petals instead of pink, and i don't want anything @ the "altar" (just me, scott, preacher, and 5 attendants on each side)....SOOOOO what do you think: navy sashes or no? i can't decide if it's worth the cash...? ((same dilemma for the reception))

let me know what you think.....other suggestions are welcome!

Can you alternate the sashes... then you have a little of both colors

maybe every 2 chairs has a navy sash or something.

Albertabride: Love your "digs"- just learned that word from my little cousins, ha. You are going to look beautiful, and your baby girl is sooooooo cute! FH not so bad himself! I think aqua shirts would be great, not sure if it will look a little....um... feminine with the vest though. Try it out and see what you think!

Nicole: I do like the colored bows.... but I think that if you kept white no one would notice:-)

If you use yellow flower petals, you might want to use a little more so that it will show up against the sand:-) I think not having anything up at the front is perfect! I'm not either.

albertabride-I LOVE your dresses, and have to also tell you how precious your little one is Everything will look GREAT!!! Where did you find your GM/FI attire? We have my FI's suit, but nothing for the GM's yet.

Nicole-I was having the same dilemma with the sashes too. We're having royal blue and deep pink BM dresses and decided to stick with white sashes. I was worried it would "clash" if the colors didn't match up. But, at the same time I'm OCD about stuff like that lol.

Dez(And anyone else interested)-I'm only having 22 guests but LOVE these cups. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...+changing+cups BUT, you have to order like 200 of them. If we could get enough people to split them I would love to. They wouldn't be able to be too personalized, but Mexico 2009 and a starfish or palmtree works for me...Anyone else interested?

Thanks everyone for the comments!!

Does anyone else think the aqua and vests would be too feminine??

Davematthew- I'm from Canada so I don't know if you have the same store there it's called Le Chateau, they were really cheap all on sale, $50 for the pants and $40 for the vest!
