That does suck you can always put a candle in the vases or a floating candle for extra light. I know stretching it I do love the purple votives they cast a pretty light

They have this dress in 2 different styles on their web site a long maxi which I LOVE I looked at it for my wedding and a shorter length banded bottom which I own and wear all the time in purple but I think they have the blue, orange, and purple color Hot Summer Styles 2008 collection for Donna Morgan, dresses for all shapes and sizes

Looks great and you too are so cute together

Oh my god I LOVE the candles

I love the frosting idea but you should def get a taller thinner vase. I LOVE the feathers and maybe add some branches instead of the single flower ok the below branches are ugly but you get the idea

I feel the same way purple is my favorite color and always thought it would be incorporated into my wedding but I am leaning towards the blues

The blues are totally different but I still think it looks great don't stress over the little stuff no one will no it is the wrong shade if blue they will all love the towels

I work very closely with that company and the owners. If you still need the dress I can see if they still have any available...the dress is 2 seasons old so it is a big maybe but if you are desperate I will try and it will probably cost wholesale or wholesale-25%...let me know

I have down graded a lot of things for the wedding. We have been saving and saving playing around with the stock market and we lost so much of our wedding fund in the past few months we want to pull out what is left but then we have no chance and gaining it back. It is funny though how much my views changed the way expensive invites I was going to get didn't mean as much as I thought and totally down graded. Sometimes we get caught up in the wedding thing and forget about the marriage that is taking place if someone doesn't come to the wedding because my invites are not as grand as they think they should be oh well

There are so many similar dresses out there like that you are better doing some research and buying it short already. You may loose the shape of the dress once it is shortened

I LOVE the cigar shot

I had the hardest time with my invites I know they are supposed to set the mood for the wedding but I just couldn't spend the money on expensive invites. I ended up ordering from David's Bridal Online Invites I know I am ashamed but before that I went to a few of my local places and they can do anything you want just tell them a budget and your colors and they can work it out for you my only problem was my budget was way too low.

My FI worries when I am on the sight, every time I sign on it costs him money from all of everyone's great ideas

I am at a different resort in Montego Bay and the steel band is $350 an hour as well if that helps

They look so good!!! I actually went shopping all over with the FI today looking for invitations and then we ended up buying them online

wow who knew that is a great find thanks

maybe look for lighter plates ...Try pier 1 they have a lot of affordable and light weight things but look expensive and solid also try Homegoods, TJMaxx, or Marshal's they all have some great stuff

I had one of these guys too. For years after we broke up whenever he heard I was dating or as soon as I thought I was over him there he was texting & calling wanting me back. I was tempted in my past and sometimes picked up the phone and fell for the lines. But then I met my FI and knew he was the one and for once and for all made it clear not to call or text. I am not sure if he knows I am engaged or not but I am sure after our last talk he would know better then to contact me.
