I have put off even looking for a veil, just been too busy/lazy. I had tried one on at the salon where I bought my dress (Belle Vie in Chicago), and there was one that I liked, but it was about $300. I figured after spending more on my dress that I ever thought I would, I didn't need to do the same w/the veil. But since I had been putting it off and hadn't looked around at all, I just decided to go back to Belle Vie and get the veil I know I liked (they said it would take 8-10 weeks to come in, so I started thinking I should get on top of this). Well, after trying it on w/the dress, etc. I was going to get it - and she was ringing me up. I saw $605 - I said "is that the price?" Apparently I remember the price wrong - I have little doubt this this was my mistake. But she did offer me $100 off, and options to make the veil cheaper - like making it shorter. My problem: I can't justify $500 for the veil. I just can't! What are my best options to get a replica made? Or even somewhere to go and look at a large selection of veils? This veil came down past my butt, was 1 layer, plain ivory tulle (or whatever the fabric is), but the edge was trimmed w/sterling silver and had both pearls and crystals in the trim about 1-2 inches apart. Any suggestions?

welcome! so glad to see another MN bride! my FI and I are moving back to MN this April. where are you locatied? since you have your wedding date set - have you picked a location? let us know if we can help!

wow - that location looks amazing!

I know there are a lot of Newbies possibly looking for a wedding coordinator.

In my random searching, I came across this craft store site, and they have some decent OOT bag options. I was about to post this in the OOT bag thread, then I started digging and saw that that have a lot of other things as well. They have flowers, monogram cake tops, rhinestone iron-ons, lights, etc. - so browse away! I've never ordered from them, but might end up getting a couple things. Here are the OOT bags I was looking at: Factory Direct Craft Supply: Misc. Bags or Totes : 6" Straw Gift Tote Bag (bags) : $0.99 Factory Direct Craft Supply: Canvas Tote Bags

welcome! you'll have lots of help here for planning a Cabo wedding. depending on where your wedding will be, and how big it is, you may not need an additional WC. but if you want one there are a few that the girls are using on this site.

Congratulations - you're already done with the hard part - finding the location! Let us know if we can help you with anything.

nope, i can't see them either. Tammy may have to re-upload them - they could have been lost in an upgrade or deleted.

Anny - you beat me to it - i was just going to post this - Chocolate Espresso Tres Leches Cake or Chocolate and Truffle Gifts from Godiva: Upgrade

awesome - thanks!

i just started searching the knot too - where's the slideshow?

I was starting to look at cake ideas to send to my WC, and I didn't see nearly enough pictures on this forum! Or maybe I just wasn't looking in the right place. Does anyone have any great cake photos to share? I am thinking we'd like something simple, not a whole lot of decor. And we saw a couple square cakes and think that might be what we want, but not 100% sure yet. This is an official call out for cake photos!

this is another great puzzle site that my sister turned me on to - it has a variety of puzzles, and some you can print for free. Conceptis Logic Puzzles - The Art of Logic

i can't wait to see what they look like, and how you like them. i think this is a great gift for the guys, since most of the stuff i've found is for the ladies.

have you posted a picture? that seems so unique - i want to see!

lol - watch out, i'll be on the cover of some magazine titled "nice brides turned naughty" or something!

i think i know the ones you're talking about - i thought those were cute too!

cheap shoes anyone? check this site out - there are some options for those of us that don't want to spend a lot on our shoes: 15DOLLARSTORE.COM - Designer Junior Apparel for $15 for less!

i want to - but just not sure i want to use my "real" dress or not. if not, i have to find a replacement! i did buy one from JCrew, but i'll probably be reselling it - it's really nice, just not the look i was going for.

lol - you have no idea how so NOT me that is! well, neither is having 3 dresses ... i figure between the WD, the "trash the dress" shoot (and/or day after photos), and our legal wedding in Hawaii, I can justify all of them! any more though and i will have a hard time coming up with valid excuses.
