Agape Gems

I never heard of that. I thought they always got their commission from the airline, resort, hotel.... Our TA got a VERY nice commission off of all our bookings but we paid nothing out of pocket for her services. I would find someone else!! Quickly!

thats fantastic, i got my invites 50% off and they were still over $100! The raffia is a nice touch too!

I would start checking department stores in March. I know Dillards and Macys had them in stock around that time this year. I wouldn't worry about alterations, men's stuff can normally be done in a week or less.

I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted and she was able to come up with just the right pieces to pull my wedding look together! I LOVE THEM!!! Plus she's so sweet and threw in an extra “something blue†and it’s amazing! Thank you Courtney! I'm so glad you are pleased with the way everything turned out! Now hurry and get married so I can see the whole look together

I've never heard of a digital perm, but it looks really nice! Very natural looking. I had one of those crazy curl perms back in the 80's...

we were there in April and had no issues with fleas, in fact i don't recall hearing any mention of them until June/July.

I have a photobucket account, but for this I need to be able to upload a picture directly from my computer...

I'm still adjusting to my mac and i can't for the life of me figure out how to resize pictures in iphoto. HELP! I have lots of high res pics that I need to make smaller so I can upload to a website.

Suede is driving me crazy with the 3rd person talk. I can't believe he is still in the competition. And WTH was Blayne thinking?

GORGEOUS!!! I love your dress, and the hanging orchids turned out perfect! My fav pic is the TTD pic of ya'll laying in the sand. Congrats- again : )

Kim I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your aunt had a life full of love, I hope that you and your family will be able to find peace.

I did not have a pool or beach reception, but I only remember wine being served inside the restaurants. The bars had liquor, beer, and frozen drinks.

Quote: Originally Posted by divadivine25 So what about the other receptions? Are they held in different parts of the Seagrape? Seagrape is just a bar on the beach. It's not a building or a room, just the actual bartop on the beach. All the other bars are either at the pools or in the common areas of the resort. Check out Lizz's review and pics to see what it looks like.

Here are a few, what color are thinking?

GORGEOUS!! I love the pics of ya'll on the rocks and your ceremony set-up was fabulous!

How about Shadey, pronouced Sade' Shankeria- your guess is as good as mine...

So sorry for all the drama but you were a BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!!! Congrats!!

Also, I HIGHLY recommend that you use a primer such as Kilz, prior to painting of course - you will NOT regret this. As for the color, I would go with a sandpaper, taupe, or italian leather......I would set it off with fantastic drapes that are a deep chocolate, fabulous deep red/cranderry color.....be sure to get extra long drapes and hang the rod much higher than the window sill and allow the fabric to drape on your floor (kinda like a slouch) and then go to TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby or Michael's and find some rustic ornamental pices to go over the window (between the top of the curtains and your ceiling) this will allow for a beautiful dramtic effect. Your room is large so play it up and have fun. I hope this helps I like the sound of italian leather, is that an actual paint color name or just a family of colors? Can you elaborate on the ornamental pieces? Do you mean like those metal sculpture type things? Thanks for you input!!! Too bad you don't live in Atlanta, you'd have a new client!

That's one option we've been considering- Painting the room taupe and then just the wall with the fire place and the wall that separates the dining from the kitchen a chocolate brown. I want to paint the cabinets in the kitchen white too.

Sooooooooooo I've decided to sell my dress. It is tag size 16 but fits a regular dress size 12. It is ivory with mocha beading. The sash and broach are attached. There is a short train that has been bustled, I'm trying to find a pic of the bustle... I have had it dry cleaned and preserved. Asking price $500 OBO PM me if you are interested. I don't know how much shipping will cost, but I am willing to pay part of the shipping costs.

Good job!! I just love anything with pearls!

I love the cap sleeve! Those are hard to pull off for a lot of girls but they look perfect on you!

DH and I bought our house last October with all sorts of grand plans for decorating, but we can't agree on anything! I love the high ceilings and hardwoods but the entire downstairs is open so whatever color we choose we have to really like it b/c there is gonna be a lot of it! The yellow and maroon walls and all the window treatments are from the previous owners and need to go. The only color we can agree on is taupe, does anyone have any suggestions? I need a decorator bad.
