yes, you can download a song from amazon that are in the mp3 format. that's what i ended up doing...burning songs onto the cd from itunes and then back onto my computer was too big of a pain in the a$$. :0

Thanks ladies, We just got back yesterday and it was better than i ever could have expected!!! I'll write my review sometime this week, still trying to get back into the "real" world. Thanks for all the well wishes. they worked!!

Sebastian Hair Salon - they do a great job and they have a fairly large team of people - the only problem with them is they get booked a few months (normally) in advance. I found a little blurb on them here: Sebastian Hair Salon Hope that's helpful!! I got mine hair and makeup and my girls hair done at Sebastian Hair Salon. I had a trial of hair and makeup and they were great. I was really pleased with the result. I would suggest bringing pictures of hairstyles you like and the colors of the make up you want. I kept it pretty simple with the hair and she did it in 15 minutes. i'll post some photos too. the makeup, i was really impressed by. It's a bit more than i normally wear but it looked great in pics. the price for both the trial hair and make up and actually coming to our hotel and doing hair and make up for me the day of was $289 USD.

The panes of glass move back an forth just slightly, but it's enough space for the sand to slip out. You might want to put a little hot glue along the side of each pane of glass and then slide it into place. We ended up pouring out the sand before we left b/c it was going to be a big mess. Thanks for the words of advice. MUCH APPRECIATED!!

those look fantastic, which parts were DIY and which weren't. i'd be impressed to receive those.

Mine were $3 each from crate and barrel outlet... check online at some of the places, i've seen them before.

Carly- everything looks fab. Not only are we wedding date twins, our colors choices are very similar. There's going to be A LOT of celebrating happening on May 17th!! Yahoo!!

what about trying to get someone through your hotel? i'm sure they hold weddings there?

Betsy ended up using photostory which she said was easier. where did you buy your music in MP3 format online? i'd be happy to pay $1 each for 3-4 songs just to get them in mp3 format. thanks.

Lizz your stuff looks great, love the ring and dress and eveything else. can you believe our day is almost here? crazy!

super cute, love the whole thing. you are very talented if you designed it yourself.

Thanks Ladies- you are making me Blush!! I have my last "fitting/try-on" this weekend. I'll try to remember to take pics for you.

I was feeling stressed out about 3 weeks ago. Now, i'm over it. I figure everything is as planned as it can be and I cannot hold everyone's hand to get stuff done. All the big things are done, no one will notice if some of the little things aren't perfect. I am focusing on enjoying the last bit of time of being a "Bride".

I know many of you have starfish themed weddings. I found this necklace on Janna Conner - Janna Conner Designs - Chandelier Earring - Handcrafted Jewelry - semi precious beaded jewelry and it's on sale for $48 originally $69.

very cool...love the colors

i love the color and the style...excellent choice.

She's a friend of a friend, so she customized something for me based on the dress and my preferred style. She was great to work with but is on the higher side of BM jewelry...just a warning so you don't get sticker shock! She's worth every penny, the jewels are stunning.
