HI. my sister just decided...well figured out she can go to my wedding-and now she wants a BM dress ( she is MOH). I dont know where to look. Anyone have one for sale? Shes a size 4. I like a knee or tea lenght dress....for her....and I went to every sotre in the mall-no luck!! Anhyone have any ideas for cheap, quick dresses?? lol

I like the brown one-however the girl in the pic is super skinny-I wonder how it woud look on someone a bit heavier-NOT that your sister is heavy...just saying if theres someone else who would be self conscious!! Brown is great for winter!

Honest to goodness-those look amazing-so perfect-look professionally done!! Makes mine look like crap ha ha

That is a super cute idea

I agree!! Its so upseting to already be self conscious then to have to feel bad trying on your wedding dress?? YUCK! Thats why I ripped the tag right out-not the dres isnt a size-its just mine!!

Whatever you do-DONT USE makeupinvegas! Theyy are jerks! So incredibly rude! I was scared to book, so i sent an email saying I was afraid of how the make up would look. The b*tch Kimberly ( nail girl and scheduling girl) emailed me back and said some very nice things....but sorta snotty. I decided to write her back to ask more questions-she IGNORED ME! I caled 3 times and left messages-again never called me back-been 7 days now! DONT USE THEM!!!

Its the first resort hotel on the strip but it is still good. I personally prefer Bellagio-but ONLY when I get it cheap ( or the one time I flew for free, i spent extra for bellagio). I think you will be fine at the Mirage! Its good, clean, good casino also!!! Good restaurants rigth there also! omh-I know you from Las Vegas Wedding Chapel Reviews, Pictures, Packages, Marriage License Laws, Elvis! Good to see you here too!!! Pm me anytime ( we are on the CVW thread-I use the same name here and there)

Alfred Angelo also has plud sizes to try on. I hate that term-I wear a size 14, but shopping for dresses made me ultimately go to plus sizes. Its sad. I ended up getting a size 20-and am spending over 130 to have it altered smaller. <My sister who wore a size 4 needed a 10 wedding dress so I guess its normal-but it still sukcs!! I got the dress home and ripped the tag out!

OMg! Duhh to me-I totally didnt think of adding snacks! How awesome of you guys to think of that! THANK YOU! The stinkin snacks in vegas hotels rooms are such a rip off-but you know after being out drinking even I ave gotten desperate and paid 6.00 for a bag of stupid chips! So good idea I will add that to the "to do" shopping list when I get there!! Flip flops: Such its just a few girls going-who are good friends/family I just asked them. I went to old navy a week ago when they 2/5.00 flip flops were 1.00 each! The Bath and Body stuff: I got the new scent-that way all those little bottles were $1 each. usually their little bottles are 3.50 each-so I just got the 'deal" they had on the newest scent! Its a good scent. Water Bottles: I actually ordered water bottle labels...and my friend who lives in vegas is going to go buy the bottles and we will put them personalized labels on them when we get to Vegas. We are eading in Tuesday the 5th-and staying with friends the first night, so we can do up the bags and what nots! I am also shipping my dress to her house so the gift bags and gifts will be there waiting for us. Thanks for the advice and compliments Jen

Hi. I live in rochester, NY-home of Kodak-and its hard to find also-however sometimes Kodak makes donations-we go on school field trips and they give all the kids disposable cameras and bags and stuff. I wanted to say maybe people culd call Kodak ( roch, NY) and ask for donations? Also they sell cheap toss away digital cameras at drug stores and what not

Hi. I took some pics of the stuff for my OOT gift bags: I have.... sunscreen nail file kits first aid BBW lotion BBW shower gel BBW body spray Aveeno lotion foot cream tissues aspirin flip fops water bottles ( personalized, not pictured, gonna buy in Vegas) lip sunscreen Im trying to do this on a budget-so Im also enclosing a bunch of vegas brochures, the trolloey, the rail system, strip maps, shows, etc. What else can I enclose? I wanna make the bags seem fuller. Any other ideas? Ive looked thru everytone's ideas but I might still need more...I think?? Thanks!!

I cant believe how perfect those are!! Nice job! So perfect its like they were made for a DW!

This is exactly the reason why I cancelled with CVW!! Trey ( the photographer from cvw) left due to Shawn's practices and opened up his own business-Vintage Vegas Weddings so I rebooked with him so I can have him as my photographer. Any info needed-please feel free to PM me.

HI. I got these large bags from target ( straw ones) and I want to add a beach towel to each one-anyone get any cheap?? I mean under 10.00. I cant afford more for 20 people! Thanks

Everything is awesome-NICE JOB! I love all the details

OMG rachel-thats wild! GH did an episode at valentown ( Jay is from the rochester, NY area)and thats where I am and this place is super close to me. i wanna go-they do ghost tours!! It was a place jay and Grant wanted to go back and investigate more-I wanna go too! I hope they come back

welcome

I agree with rachel-the EVP's are the most eerie for me-they are awesome-it makes ya realize something is going on!! What i dont understand-how come every place they go people "see" apparitions, yet every time they get NOTHING on film? Bummer...maybe someday!

yes they finaly said something was haunted-and once again, the shit ONLY happened to Grant and jay! Hmmm..... I think other places had better "stuff" happen and they didnt call em haunted but they did last night. It was cool though

I woudl try google and search the dress style number and maker and see what sites locate it!! I did that for my wedding dress-GOOD LUCK! Its adorable

Cute ideas-keep em coming!!! I will need apurse as we are not having a reception-and Ill need my stuff and CASh for the slot machines!! LOL And of ocurse all the casino cards so I can earn little to nothing in comps! ha ha And my smokes....terrible I know

You are stunning in both-go for the one you truly PICTURE yourself in!! Plus the no alterations is quite a nice "selling" advantage! hee hee

HI. I am getting hitched in Vegas-Im wearing a white strapless dress...but with flip flops( white...glittery ones) I need a purse-we will be having a short ceremony and then off for pics and out for the night drinking,gambling. Anyone get anything good? Got any pics? Ive been to 5 bridal shops and no one has anything! It is very frustrating-I havent even found a white one yet that isnt gaudy! I bid on one one ebay..Ill go try and post a pic. If anyone has pics or ideas for what you are doing-let me know!!! THANKS! Jen

Thanks for all the great suggestions, it is nice to know 90.00 isnt too awful for the area! It sure is alot for upstate NY-but...what can ya do I wish my friends could do up-do's....having such a small wedding-not possible Thanks ladies
