oh I love it, I am totally ordering for my flower girls and my rehearsal dinner. Did you get to pick which one you got for free? Or did they just send whatever?

okay I change my vote, yes #2 is the best...the veil threw me off, but go with two for sure.

Glenda, that's why I don't think I like my tiara I feel like that with my huge dress is going to be too cinderella's. I would rather feel like scarlett o'hara. But Anny's is so simple and elegant...it will be perfect for her hairstyle.

welcome, how great of you to help your daughter out by joining the forum. We would love the mother's opinion of things here. Let us know how we can help.

welcome it looks like Ann has pointed you in the right direction, let us know how we can help otherwise.

welcome to the forum July 7 is coming up soon. Can't wait to hear all your details. Let us know how we can help you in any way.

no David's bridal and it was too expensive, now that I might wear my hair half down I think a clip would have looked better. I will have to try to do my hair one day and see what it looks like.

so cute, love them-they are perfect for the beach.

Here's mine that I bought, I kinda wish I would have gotten the head band style, but hopefully I can make this work.

Anny I love this store, what a great deal. thanks for sharing.

Jessalyn I think you might be thinner than the model, what is with the models posing like they have to pee in wedding dress ads?

I liked number one, I think it made your waist look tiny!!!

absolutely fantastic!!!

so pretty. love it.

Love them, so cute!!!

And I have to say the majority of FI's friends are excited about it and making every effort to come. I think its the perfect excuse for a vacation, even just a long weekend, why don't other people see it this way? Jilly, this is exactly what I talked to my FI when we re-chose our location because honestly my FI is a budget guy and yes if it was a really good friend I would put it on credit to go, but my FI would not. I have a friend who is like a sister getting married this year in April and I am going alone because my FI refuses to spend the money on a flight and dog sitting (this is also because he doesn't have a job right now). I know that in our minds we tell ourselves that we would go no matter what, and I think a lot of my friends and family did also, but when they really looked at how it would affect them, they realized it would be very difficult and I personally would never want anyone to go into debt for my wedding. As for those people who have the money and travel otherwise, it might be the case that the particular location is not appealing to them or that they are just stuborn and want the free food for a traditional wedding. I think that no matter what, we all chose our destinations for a reason and we should enjoy our day. People who cannot make it will miss out on a great time. So too bad for them!!!

I take reviews with a grain of salt, think about it when you are mad about something don't you want to tell others so they don't have to go through what you did. But how often to you compliment something or someone when you are happy with a service.

well if they are going to be like that, then you probably don't really want them there anyway right.

Leigh, maybe they are just not ready to book yet, you still have seven months I know there was just a special going on for you, but I think a lot of people will wait until last minute. Don't get freaked out about it until you are a little closer. Maybe have your FI mention it to the talker of the family to see what is going on.

well I live 3000 miles away from all my friends so I don't think they can help, but that's a great idea for other ladies thinking about doing this.

Just got an e-mail from this company-free shipping on everything until this weekend. I am not sure if you have to sign up for their e-mail list, but if you want more info, I can FWD my e-mail.

Thanks girls. I got a really great deal on all the beads and my FI thinks I am crazy because its going to take me forever to make all of these. Hopefully I have a few snow days in the next month or so.

hmm I don't know, I like #2.

ps, just noticed how dirty my wine glasses look-excuse the dustiness oops.

There is a chance for a snow day tomorrow or wednesday so I went to the arts and crafts store tonight, and just my luck the entire bead section was 50% off. So I stocked up and got just about everything I could ever need for this little project for less than $50. This could be more time consuming than I realized. Anyway, I made these for my bachelorette party, I will see how they go over before I make like 200 of them. Please take a look and let me know what you all think-honest opinions ladies!!! Thanks you're the best!!!
