They look great, Ab! Whew, what a relief to have that project done!

Great thread, I will come back to it later with all my purchases. I Have been nothing but pleased with everything I received thru etsy.

OMG, that lady sounds cah-ra-zeee! It's so funny reading your responses too, cuz I can hear your voice and the attitude. hahahahahaa, what a wack job you found!

Thanks ladies! Honestly, for now, I am glad it's over and I can do other things in my life other then wedding stuff! Alyssa - the white and red dress was a find on the Macy's clearance rack in the winter. I absolutely love it, I felt like a movie star when I wore it. It just floats around the feet, makes me feel pretty. Dresses like that are always good! I could check the designer if you want, but it was from last year in Macy's. Yari - the groom and groomsmen clothes are from Beach Wedding Attire: Drawstring Linen Pants, Cotton & Linen Shirts, Shorts - Island Importer and the color is sky. If you can tell, one of the GM has the wrong color shirt (cuz Matt ordered that one!), but you can hardly tell. That lighter color is pebble, which is nice too, but I really liked the sky.

Holy smokes, that's a lot of planning you did! Everything looks great! I really like all the personalized paper things you did.

Shandra - the veil was actually material that my sister and I bought to make ourselves, but never got around to it. We bought 3 yards of fabric and a comb (which kept falling out!), the fabric was like $10 maybe. But we never got around to making it, so I had my seamstress whip it up for me. I had her leave the length at about 3 yards (108 inches) and it graduated to 56 inches at the top, cuz I like it more sheer over the hair. She only charged me $25, so all in all I think it was worth it! When I tried on practically the same thing at the bridal salons, they were over $150! Thank you all for the wonderful comments! It is nice to have it over and I don't have to worry about anything anymore. I will be even more excited when the AHR is over in July! Oh, and Rach, we had the resort photog taking photos, but they really weren't my style at all. Real pose-y. So we only got the 12 in our package and we bought 2 additional ones. They practically rape you on costs though. We got 12 5x7's and they wanted an additional $20/image to put them on a cd for us. We we said, beat it. Honestly, it was no great loss since they weren't great to begin with. I am ok with that though since we are doing the whole thing over in July with a prof photog, we will get good photos then.

I love your veil, exactly what I am looking for!

So everything went well, we are back and married. Haven't had a chance to log in yet and spend some time on here, but I know how you all area and I am sure you want some pics! We didn't really purchase any of the resort photos, cuz the photography left alot to be desired, so here are some of the photos I pulled from our photoshare site, enjoy! (I don't have time to put them in order, sorry!)

Lizz, you looked great! I was thinking about you on your day, but our hotel was no where near yours! I thought I'd be able to walk down the beach and check it out, but you were like 20 mins away from me. Everything looked great though, and you of course looked beautiful!

Thanks for all the well wishes and kind words! Everything did go wonderfully. The only thing that went wrong was the WC forgot to put the flower petals in the aisle. Which isn't that big of a deal in the scheme of things! We barely finished unpacking and have to get ready for a BBQ with friends, so I will post probably tomorrow with some teaser photos. The resort photos were horrible, so we only got what was in the package (12) and now I have to weed thru all the guests to find the best ones! CHeck back with you later!

So I thought I'd be able to get on here a little more over the past few days, but no such luck. We are leaving at about 4am tomorrow morning for the airport, so I won't be on much before then. Just wanted to check in and say goodbye to you all. I really have learned alot (and *borrowed* alot) from this forum and I am so thankful to have had such wonderful support while planning my wedding. I will check in when I can, but probably not until we return, so sometime after Memorial Day. Peace out!

W/o reading anyone elses comments, I LOVE the first one! It looks so pretty on you and fits you perfectly. I also am a big fan of lace, so no surprise here that that's the one I like better.

Oh and I am totally going to go for a walk on the 16th to see if I can catch a glimpse of your wedding. Are you getting married on the beach? What time?

Lizz, I can't beleive it's here! I am so excited for you! Can't wait to hear all about it and see how Mike reacts to the BD photos. Omg, getting all jittery writing this, cuz it also means mine is coming up!

They were called "design your own mug", but the exact ones aren't there anymore. Here is something that is the same price and might be the same, but hte pic is different. Color-Your-Own Mom Artist Travel Mugs

Very cute! And sometimes it is nice to hand over the reigns to someone else. Your mom did a great job.

Oh my, I remember May 17th last year. I was so excited and telling everyone. And wow, that was already a year ago? I know it feels like forever sometimes, but it really isn't!

Morgan, that's a great idea and so glad you are putting your creativity to good use. I will have to see if my creative side can come up with anything, I am usually not great at the stuff though.

Congrats, Courtney!!

fuzzy handcuffs, Wedding Party Supplies, Costumes Reenactment Attire items on eBay.com There are lots on ebay. But I would contact the seller directly to see if they will do a bulk purchase for you. Most sellers are pretty good about stuff with quick responses.

They are from Paper Lanterns | Parasols | Party & Wedding Decorations | Luna Bazaar along with the parasols and the votives...
