Rachel I love your choice of jewelry......you will look very elegant and sparkly....very very pretty!

I like the 2nd one....I think it looks cute!

Good review. I'm glad you ended up with a photographer you are excited about! Now you have me hungry for cake

I just bought my dress for our August At home reception and legal ceremony back here in Port Angeles. Our AHR will be held at a local winery owned by my future In laws close family friends....which = lot's of free wine! I love it! It reminds me of something Audrey Hepburn would wear to a fancy garden wedding or courthouse nuptuals. I will also wear it for when we have our legal ceremony at a local church (This was a huge request from my FMIL) I wanted to still look like a bride, but nothing too fancy, since it will be after the wedding. I'll wear my hair up and curly with a small white flower. I can't wait to get it in the mail!

I would love to do this during the summer. It is an overnight deal for us. The drive from Port Angeles (we take the edmonds Kingston ferry) is about 2.5 to 3 hours, so I couldn't make it on any weeknight. Bummer...let me know if you get together on a weekend! I'm always up for a night out in Seattle.

Oh Carly...nice job! Those are well worth the wait! Your guests will flip. They are very pretty and sparkly...yay!

I'm trying not to laugh out loud so my boss doesn't thinks I'm nuts...holding back...

Great Job! I appreciate you sharing....you may just have saved me many hours of designing a template myself! Thanks Thanks Thanks!

LOVE it....I know it is really hard at first to figure out the whole "feel" of your look for both the wedding decor and your own stuff....it will totally morph and blend without you even realizing it....how fun!

Thanks for the recipes....I'm cranky and hungry today....those chocolate muffins may cure me.

Mine is in May and I was thinking of a cute white Mexican looking sundress like either one of these....knowing me I'll order both! My auntie is hosting, and it is beach themed. Crochet Trim Sash Dress - Teen Clothing by Wet Seal

Um, that's my date at Dreams los cabos....sorry to be a downer, but I was sure they only held one event at a time. hmmm....not happy.

I can't wait to chop it!!! Mine has grown out a lot since my pictures in my sig....it's about to tricep length......but the same cut *I have bangs now, and want to keep the long side-swept ones like Nicole *I love this one....this is the color of my hair already

Holy crap. That looks great. I'm so mad I already made my dang book....I would be all over that! Sarah you did such a great job...Jen...for god sakes woman, he isn't going to be able to walk straight down that aisle...you may want to wait until after to give it to him...hee hee! Very sexy!

I'm waiting for the next question.....geez....I'm a lady....hee hee.

Wow Diana.....what a complete overhaul on the house! It looks killer...I love that style of decor...not sure how to describe it.....looks very homey and comfortable...but still put together. Very nice! I love the backsplash tile in your kitchen......it looks really nice with the counters.

Oh yes dear....me too! I'm already plotting with my hairdresser how we are going to cut it after I get back from the wedding. I just always pictured myself with Jessica Simpson styled hair for my wedding.....hence the torture of growing it out now!

I think I am gettting stressed more easily. I have actually done alot more than since I did my forst post on this thread. I swear I'll get around to updating it soon! I think it will make me feel better too. I can't wait for yours and really do hope we can at least meet up for drink or two! Heck yeah......we'll definately meet up. My family is a blast, so we'll be hard to ignore I'm sure I've suddenly realized that I was putting a whole bunch of projects off saying, I'll just wait until we are a few months out......and suddenly it's time to get crackin.... We should all re-post our lists again to see the progress. I'll do that today......

It's better! Yay someone hooked me up. Thanks!

I cannot believe how close some of us are to the weddings! My god girls we are almost there! Just having a freak out on time day today......and noticed half of us Dreams gals are almost under 4 months out! EEEK!

Here is mine. It looks too big to me. I resized it in photobucket to the smaller one and it still looks too big. The other one was too small.....I feel like goldilocks......goodness what work this is..... being creative for ya'll ladies.....geez. Well hmmmm....this is about as much patience as I have right now to fix it...oh well. If I make someone mad about my huge sig you can yell at me....

Hello cute dress and shoes....I want them! I personally would go for the colored ones...but I'm all about the bold and different. Either way, can't go wrong...those dresses are too cute.
