I think you might want to try to get something else. Instead of spending money to buy things to wear under it and then finding out its too clingy and see through when you are in the water will not be fun. I hope you find something.

Erica, I tried to send you this picture but it said your mailbox is full, so I am posting it here, I hope you get it. This is what the bags looked like when I bought them at wal-mart. I then took alll those little sequience circles off them. My colours are pink and brown and these are pink and brown on the inside. There was also silver and green and I think blue.

I can't use my real dress because we actually have to do the TTD before the wedding because we won't have time to do it the day after. I really wanted to do one TTD in the BVI-since I can't pass up the opportunity to get ocean shots-and then maybe one later here in Austin where I might use my real dress. I agree though that real dress would probably hold up better, so I may keep looking. Oh, that makes perfect sense, of course you can not use your dress. lol Huh, What about looking on ebay? Also, I know you guys must have them, but we have lots of wedding forums in Canada where brides are selling their dresses for really cheap. Last one I saw that was beautiful sold for $150. Maybe you could go that route as well. Just a thought. I would look for you, but it would cost you too much in shipping, so you need something local.

Wow, we have quite a few CR brides now. When I wanted to get married there I was only 1 of 2. lol Welcome to the forum and I am sure you will get lots of helps from the amazing people here.

I don't have any tips for you, but that dress is see through when its not wet, so I would be a little worried about it as well. Can you try it on with the underthings and take a pic, is that possible? That is so awesome that you got someone who does underwater shots. I wish my photog could do that. That would be awesome. Why are you not going to wear your actual dress? What does it look like? I only ask because I think an actual bridal gown would hold up much much better.

I haven't decided if we'll do OOT bags yet because we may have too many people to lug all of that stuff down to Mexico but I may have to find a different use for them because they are so gosh darn cute! Good job! I also really like your logo. Did you create it yourself or have someone do it for you? My logo was a labour of love, lol I made about 300 on my own and none of them looked quite right. Then I found a girl on the knot who makes them and I sent her my favs that I made and she put them together for me. So, I made them, but with help. lol

WOW!! Natalie, they look amazing. I love love love the shoes, they look sooo awesome. You look radiant and you both look so happy and so in love and like such a fun couple. Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you so much everyone. I am pretty happy with how the turned out. I did most of the work myself, but my sister helped me with the taping and the whole punching. I can't take all the credit though, I did steal Angela's idea. lol If it was not for her posting hers I would never have thought of circles and different backgrounds. I was going to use plain pink and brown So thank you Angela.

Kirsten, you are going to love it here. Its a great group of people with lots and great info to share. Happy Planning.

I figured that would help me keep the bags straight while we put them together in Cabo. (I'm sure we'll have a cocktail in our hands!) Some of them are white on the back, the ones that are not I will have to add something to. Maybe a white circle, good idea. Thanks for letting me steal your idea.

Quote: Originally Posted by IrieBride08 Great job! They look too cute! (I'll be copying you on these as well!) Are your OOT bags the palm ones? They are palm bags, but I got them at wal-mart, they look more like a purse. Here is the pic of the bags.

Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv Very nice! I'm glad you didn't have to cut the circles without a guide or something! That Creative memories stuff is a Godsend! Yowza! Love them!!! Of course not, lol I used a circle cutter and blades from Creative Memories. I could never have got the circles that good on my own. BTW, I can not take all the credit, I got the idea from Angela (Cheese_Diva), her tags are amazing and I tried to do something similar to hers.

I used the creative memories circle cutter. I borrowed it from a friend because I don't have the circle ones. Carly I am flattered that you would save them to use later

Quote: Originally Posted by Galit They look great Julie! Where did you get the tags? I love the print on them! I made them. I put my logo on card stock and cut them out and then cut out a piece of colourful cardstock and taped them together. Then punched a hole and put the ribbon through. Simple, but time comsuming.

This is what I did last night. I am happy to have them done. These are my tags. This is what they will look like on the bags. I have not decided if I want somet to be pink ribbon or not.

I love them, how cute. I am not going to Mexico though, so it would look weird in my OOT bags, but I would totally use them if I was. Good find.

Quote: Originally Posted by cheese_diva I was so excited about this until I got to the checkout. It's $35 for shipping unless you can pickup from a store.. looks like the store in only in Canada. poo Oh no. How many do you need and when do you need them by. I might be able to go back to that store and get more. He does not have then right now, but he ordered more yesterday. He will give them to me for $2 each. But, when you add on the shipping to you from me, it might be worth it to just pay the $35 in shipping.

This is very frustrating! Crap, we were all hoping it was you!!! I am so sorry you don't have your pics yet either. Oh Juan, you need to tell the ladies what is going on and be totally honest with them. They just want to know REAL dates and REAL times when they will receive there pictures, not the time you HOPE to get them to them.

Totally freaked me out, which was the main reason i went yesterday. I'm a grumpy bear this morning so we'll see how the diet holds... You are not feeling well and you got no sleep, of course you are grumpy. I think you need to treat yourself and eat a LITTLE bit of something you have been craving. It will make you feel better instantly. And then go for a long walk, by the water if possible, or do some yoga or something to help you think about all the craziness in your life and try to be at ease with it. For real, being super strict with our diet makes us grumpy in and of itself, so have a little something special and then relax. Maybe wine and a bath, that sounds sooo good to me.

If not, that customink site that was reccomended has some pretty good prices with free shipping to Canada, so I will buy those this weekend if I do not find what I need tomorrow. Thank you so much for looking for me. I really appreciate that.

Mel that is awesome, 2 lbs is awesome That sucks about the ear infection, did you get some drugs for it. I hate ear infections, I get about 1 a year. Jill, did you work out today? I would not weight myself either if it discouraged me. Do what is best for your diet and what will make you stick to it.

Welcome to the forum, its always nice to see more Canadian brides on here. Happy Planning!!!

Mine were $9 each and that is with the conversion to Canadian money and with a more expensive shipping. So, they are a lot cheaper on ebay. Email her and ask her.
