I tried to reply to your PM but it says you either can't or don't want to receive PM's. I have an answer for you regarding the Pashmina's. Email me if you want to talk about them.

Wow, great pics. You looked beautiful and it's so obvious how much the two of you love each other. Oh, and your location was just beautiful!!!

WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Your pics came out AMAZING!!!! You look SOOOO good!!! I can't believe you did that outside. But they came out so good, it was worth it.

Your invites are going to look GORGEOUS. I can't wait to see the final product!

Hi Heidi, welcome to the forum. I'm getting married at the Hilton in exactly 6 weeks. Let me know if you have any questions. Oh, and I see you're getting married the day after my b-day. Cool!

Great pics Lauren!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your kitchen cabinets. That's what I'm getting in my next house. (hee, hee.)

You know what's funny, I realized yesterday that EVERY SINGLE thing we're doing for this wedding is something I stole from someone else (mostly girls on here.) I don't think I came up with one idea on my own. LOL!!!! My entire wedding was inspired by the BDW family.

Wow, those are beautiful!!!! I LOVE the colors and font!!!! Good job with them.

I LOVE THEM!!!! I wanted to do something similar but then at the last minute changed my mind. I'm so glad you went with this. Your guests are going to love that they're so unique. Oh, and thanks for the pics. So funny to watch Doug working the essembly line.

WELCOME BACK!!!! Ok, first of all - you looked ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!! Your dress, hair, make-up, everything just came together so beautifully. You can totally tell you guys had the BEST day!!!! I'm SOOO happy for you. All the pics were beautiful. Love that you guys went in the pool during your reception - so fun. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the pics of just you and Keith on the beach. So GORGEOUS!!! Oh, and I think one of my favorite pics is Keith going up in the chair. The look on his face is priceless. LOL!!!!

Meant to post this the other day. I went down to Chinatown on Thursday to order my wedding band. It will be in this Saturday. While I was there, I picked up my pashmina's. Got 20 of them for $3 each. Not bad. I've also finalized the reception menu, almost finished my music playlists and started packing all the items that need to be shipped out. We're making progress. Only 6 weeks from today - YIPPEE!!!!

Maybe it's because my wedding is only 6 weeks away, but I haven't even been dealing with Jaira. I've been dealing with her boss, Daniela Lopez (the Director of Events.) We still copy Jaira on all our emails but all my correspondence is really with Daniela. It may also be that I was a little rough with Jaira in the beginning so maybe she doesn't like me anymore and asked Daniela to deal with me. Hey, if you want to be a WC, you have to have tough skin. Brides can be CRAZY!!!! LOL!!! Quote: Originally Posted by augustbride Hi Ya'all, I am having a similar issue with Jaira.

I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions on how the outside WC works with Jaira and the Hilton on the planning and day of. Thanks!

Wow, those pictures are beautiful!!!! Maggie is GORGEOUS and the lounge area looks like it was a lot of fun. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE that grape tree. Your cocktail party must have been such a hit!!!

Wow Ladies, you all have such GORGEOUS homes!!! Amy - your house is HUGE and I LOVE the way you decorated it. It's just beautiful!!! Sarah - I LOVE your high ceilings. And that Christmas Tree is just beautiful. I love how you decorated it with the ribbons. Rebecca - I envy your windows and fireplace. That living room is spectacular!!!!

We refaced the existing cabinets (since they were great wooden cabinets, just not pretty anymore.) Then we bought both the pantry cabinet (which is next to the dishwasher) and added the cabinets in the Alcove area (where the fridge is.) I think the way it was used before was that the alcove area was supposed to be the Eat-in-kitchen area, but we liked this set up better.

Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Jen your house kicks ass!! I love that you totally revamped it and made it so stylish, it's night and day. The before pics remind me of most everyone's house I went to as a kid...the old cabinets and linoleum, omg that was once a hot look...lol Great job!! Quote: Originally Posted by Sarah Jessica you need to post your kitchen here- it's so cute! I can't wait to see what else you do with your house Jen, holy crap- sweet renovation! That looks like a TON of work! Rebecca, I Love your stairs. Stairs are one of my favorite things in a house for some reason. My house has 4 flights of stairs Thanks Ladies! It was A LOT of work!!! We spent about a year doing all the renovations. We decided to just do everything all at once rather than live with dust for 5 years. It was a pain, but very well worth it. The value of our house has increased SOOOOO much. I also have "Before" and "During" pics of the Bathroom. But I haven't gotten around to taking the "After" pics yet. When I do, I'll post.

My advice is to go to a store that has loose diamonds that you can put into different settings. Looking online can give you an idea of what you like, but when you try them on you may not like they way they look on you. And try on every shape diamond too (round, oval, princess, pear, etc) in lots of different settings. This way you can narrow it down to what you like best and what looks best on you. Good luck and have fun with this!

Yeah, when is it?

I'm sorry you're having trouble. Luckily for me I hired an outside WC before I ever even booked the Hilton. She's great and is a new member of the BDW forum. You may want to look her up, Vari from Allure Event Design - [email protected] - she's hired a vendor to do the Chinese Lanterns for me. As for the linens at the Hilton, I know they have lots of colors to pick from. Get on them to send you the colors. Oh, and don't let them bully you into paying a rental fee for them. If Emeline and you never discussed a fee for colored linens, then you don't pay it. As for transportation, I am using Airport Shuttle Los Cabos and my contact there is Gabriela. She's great. Check her out. [email protected] I hope this helped.

Ok, here's our basement. Before of the stairs After of the stairs Before of the main area Before of the Boiler area After of the Boiler area (we built a room for it behind the TV.)

When we bought our house at the end of 2004, EVERY room needed to be updated. We completely renovated the entire house and although I love all of the rooms in our house, the kitchen was by far the biggest change. Here are some "Before" and "After" shots.
