Elizabeth as usual you never fail to work your magic and capture the raw emotion of the day. Can't wait to have you on Feb 18th!

Thank you for your honest and detailed review and congratulations on the wedding...despite all the mishaps it truly looked beautiful.

Try this Etsy seller Etsy :: EasterYu :: Muscari by Easter Yu She does sashes and can custom make one for you. Good luck!

Awesome news! I heard from my TA today too.

Congrats on the fantastic pictures and gorgeous wedding...I love the light during your ceremony, so surreal! The sunset is amazing too.

Thank you for your kind comments! I uploaded more pics for now.

Very pretty! Congrats on finding your dress!!

Sorry I removed all but one pic. Just being cautious as FI reads this forum occasionally.

Smokin hot! You're such a natural in front of the camera!

These turned out great! You guys are a good looking couple!!

The first dress is soo so pretty and romantic! I love the unique design.

Ooh very pretty! And what a steal for a Reem Acra.

Yes it certainly was nice taking as much time as I needed to try a million angles...I was dizzy at the end of it running back and forth the camera, but so worth it. There are much racier pics that are not shown; don't think I would have done them with someone else around. I'm printing them from :: :: :: :: PIKTO :: :: :: ::. I heard great things about their quality and they offer customizable options like embossing, different cover materials, sizes, etc, plus they ship globally. You simply download their software, layout your pages (very easy) and they create a pdf proof of the actual size for you to approve before printing. I will definitely review once I receive it. You can also try Make your own book with Blurb, a cheaper but good alternative.

Our photographer is also the most expensive part of the wedding. Photos (and video) will be all you have to remember the day so IMO it is worth splurging on.

What a great resource, thank you!

Congrats- you guys are a beautiful couple!

Thank you Thanks! I ordered them from Custom Lingerie - Personalized Rhinestone Panties, Thong, Bikini, Boy Shorts, Cami in Swarovski rhinestone crystals They make great custom clothing, and it took only 2 weeks to arrive. Good luck with your bd session!

Thanks so much ladies! It's nice to get other opinions as you never know just looking at them yourself.

Thanks to all the beautiful and hot ladies on this forum getting their boudoir pics taken, I decided that I would present FI with his very own bd book on our wedding day. I had a few issues though...I'm very self conscious about my body and the thought of getting semi naked in front of a stranger freaks me out. So I decided to go the diy route. Armed with my trusty digital camera and a tripod, I took the pics myself. I must say it's been an experience and I love being in control of every aspect of it. Firstly, the link to the highlights: Shutterfly Password- view Here's the breakdown of tools needed and cost: Photoshop Day rate for swanky hotel room (a cheap hotel won't work hehe), Opus Hotel in Vancouver, highly recommended- $150 Tripod- $20 Pikto.ca photobook (8x11 leather bound, metallic red embossing on cover, 28 matte pages full-bleed, vellum leafs on first and last pages)- $110 Lingerie and accessories (Frederick's, peacockandstrutt.com), because you can't wear ones he's seen before- $200 Hair and makeup- Free! Let me know if this is something you're considering and I'll be glad to help with questions!

Holy cow those are hot photos!! Very sexy and tasteful...your DH is in for a treat!

Very pretty back detail. You will be a gorgeous bride!

They will look so cute with your dress!

Thanks so much for all your input ladies! I feel TONS better!! I would like to think FI is like most of your men. Come to think of it he can't usually tell whenever I get my hair cut. As horrible as it felt I have mostly put it behind me and you're all right, there's so much more to the wedding than the dress. I knew I could find solace here, thanks again!
