Ok so some sun will be ok as long it doesn't look fake and red?

Thanks that's a good idea!

tammy, maybe ask rebecca or tammy and see what they have to say because they both used juan and it looked like they both had sun! I was planning on starting about a month before, or otherwise I will burn the week before down there!

Christa again I love your dress! Alright Girls, This is the best picture I could find that almost looks like my dress. Here are differences! 1- where everything pulls together to one side there is a broach. 2-there is no where near that much fabric in the back of the dress 3-it actually comes up a little bit higher in the middle of the top. It's more rounded than straight across! But for the most part it really does look almost like my dress! Now the picture isn't great because I tore it out of a magazine and scanned it!

I really like that as well! that is really cute!

Sarah, they look awesome! I might steal your idea!!

anny, i really like them! They will look beautiful!

I'm using them as well but just for pictures for my BM's, I'm just doing fans for everyone else!

Jessalyn those are so pretty! I love them! you did a wonderful job and I would be so excited to get that invite! Your hard work paid off!!

80?? wow!! well I guess I have to count and see how many I have! hmmm now i'm not sure how many to do??

Leigh, as always they were fab!! I really liked them!

I really like it as well! Very cute!

Jen, I did just one side of the bag. Also, I'm using a glass votive candle and I'm going to put a little sand in each bag to weigh it down. I bought the glass votive candles at Michaels it was $5 for 12. They were on sale! I bought a ton of them! How many are you going to do for Cascade? I'm not sure if that helps at all?

yeah Lenita I'm so excited that your wedding is so close! I can't wait to see your pics and hear all about it! Have fun!!!

congrats they look great!

Ok here is my colors that I can work with. BM dresses are pinky beige, other colors I have used throughout planning champage, silver, or light blue. What color red and what color blue were you thinking of. I have about 70 people and was thinking about every other chair as well but if we each bought half than we could do every chair. Let me know!

I also asked Mariana about it and she told me that it was per hour charge so I just ended up hiring a DJ so I wouldn't have to deal with changing songs on the IPOD, and it still would have been almost the same price!
