For those of you who went barefoot for the ceremony on the beach and then put shoes on for the reception, when you did alterations for length, what length did you use? Was it altered to the length it was while you were barefoot or did you have it altered for the length it was with shoes on? When I ordered my dress, they took the measurements for it with the height of the heel for shoes that I said I'd probably get for the reception. The salesperson mentioned that if I didn't & had it measured barefoot, it would be too short once I put shoes on. My 1st fitting isn't until Feb so I'm wondering what I should do when the time comes. Any suggestions? I don't want the dress too short but I also don't want to be tripping on it if its too long when I'm barefoot. Actually tho, I haven't decided if I'm going to be totally barefoot or just have on some cute flip flops. Eitherway, I'll still have on 2 diff heel heights. Sorry for the long post, just trying to figure this out!!!

Very very nice! And you were scared to open it I'm glad that you love it. We'll definitely need to see more pics when there's no time constraints! LOL

I have slept in the same bed as lots of my friends over the years to save money on additional rooms. Granted, I was like 18-25 then, but whatever. I had the same thoughts. When I asked the 2 that know each other they both paused. THEY WERE SILENT!!! I was like "helllllllllooooo". Then they said that they weren't interested in sharing a bed. Then later I thought about alternating beds so that for the 3 nights that they're there, 1 person would get the bed alone each night. By the time I came up with that idea, I was too tired from the drama to even suggest it. I think I'm done. The other girl is out from work & I haven't been able to contact her to tell her that I couldn't find a roomate. I am sooo dreading it. Oh yeah, I've shared beds with my girlfriends plenty of times as well. Don't see what the big deal is either!!!

Such a cute picture!! Are you gonna try that at home Starchild? I know you like to recreate drinks! LOL

Gorgeous dress Shelley. Love the detailing on it! Can't wait to see pics of you in it. Congrats!!

I love the way the Casablanca fits you, it is very flattering. At least she's willing to work with you on the price. If you really love it & its the one, then go for it. You can always sell the one that you already bought!!!

That really sucks!!! What I don't get is how come they ask for your contact info when you make a reservation, but THEN THEY DON'T FREAKING CONTACT YOU WHEN THEY CHANGE YOUR RESERVATION!!!!?!!!! Have you seen any other flight times that might work for you?

Oh wow, I can see the pics now. Very nice!!! I like both. You said you liked the 1st one but you got the 2nd one? Is this what you were referring to before when you said you had already bought a dress but then saw another one?

I didn't want to put our names & stuff & monogram on there for fear that people won't be so quick to re-use them. Iron on huh? COOL. That would definitely work for us. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!

But I don't want to put in an order for 40+ of them and get the wrong color (. I see that red is RD but no clue about the aqua . On their site, this is aqua. I believe these are the one's cheese_diva posted: fashionUnic.com

Oh hey Jenn, where'd you order you OOT bags from? Did they do the stitching for you or did you have that done separately?

Jenn everything looks fantastic!!! You did a great job with every single thing!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm sooo excited for you & hope that you have a wonderful time. Congrats & can't wait to you get back with all the details & all the pics!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

Congratulations & WELCOME!!! Fiji sounds very romantic.

No pics. Definitely a tease!!! I'm anxious to see what you picked cuz I'm a fellow Casablanca bride!!!

Both look great, but I seem to be leaning towards the Orchids. I don't think its simple and I agree that you should look like yourself on your day. No need for a big wedding hairdo.

Uh, can someone point me to the key code with the item # that corresponds to the color I can't seem to find it in my panic to get my order in. SIGH...I know the answer is gonna be sooo obvious. NEVER MIND...I think I've figured it out.

I do love Kate Spade Beauty but its not on the market anymore. Boo. I think I need to check out some of her other scents. Tami, is this what you're looking for? kate spade

Funny about the date, May 14th is my bday & we were originally looking to get married then, especially since thats the day he proposed. But the prices were higher in May than they were for April, so we went with April thinking it would be better for our guests. In retrospect since so many people backed out, we should have just went with what we wanted!!!

Really pretty. If I didn't have a dress already you'd have a buyer!!!

I'm sorry to hear about your dress drama. I think its crazy that bridal shops have brides at the end of their ropes in these types of cases. It's like they know you can't cancel & you're at their mercy cuz they have your dress. You have every right to be pissed off. Their customer service sucks & you should really fight for a refund. Definitely report them to your local Better Business Bureau, especially if they don't resolve this for you. Does your receipt state the delivery date? If so, thats another key point on your side of why you should be able to cancel. I also agree with Lala & Tami. Since you love the 2nd dress, buy it to ease your mind!!! And, if all else fails, sell the 1st one. I understand about not wanting to pay for another dress but this is just too stressful!!! I really hope you get this resolved & everything works out.

Out of all the things, can you imagine turning someone away who really wanted to go & who you really wanted to go Especially considering how so many of my friends backed out at the last minute & can't make it. Now to have someone wanting to come & then having to turn them down because I can't find them a roomate really sucks. I mean, she already told me that she didn't care who it was, as long as they could get along, she wouldn't mind. She didn't expect for them to be buddies & have to do things together, she just needed someone to split the cost with. I thought I would find someone but it just hasn't happened.

But, for instance, my brother has 4 people in his party (wife and 2 kids) so I will be sending 4 to them ... and by using the different logos at least they won't all be the exact same tag. Ok, great! I still don't have our total headcount so I'll see how many I'll need to make & decide how many I"l send to each person. But I think one p/p will be sufficient! I guess I'll move forward & contact aylee for my monogram/logo. Then I can get to work! Again, thanks & they're just sooo cute.
