That makes me feel better! At least I'm the only one. Mine is form fitting and silk and I hope I don't sweat to death in it!

(slight downer is the letter also says I have to pay the other 50% but hey ho!!) woop woop! now just shoes, veil and tiara to go! not much then! SOOOO exciting! I ordered mine to be made in August, I have no idea when it will arrive, they said 8-9 months which freaked me out because I ordered it about 8-9 months before I need it.

Ooo how pretty! It's funny, getting rings was the first thing FI and I did. I too got a platinum wedding band to match my engagement ring, it's PAINFUL how much it cost. I had to pick out the most expensive one too of course and fall in love. It was like my dress, I would have settled if I had stuck to my budget both times...

I got it off of Once Wed brand new and was able to negotiate the price down by $300, so I was super happy! I bought a simple blusher veil and two ivory flowers to go in my hair. I need to get pictures of me in the whole ensemble--darn, I guess I'll have to go try everything on again That dress is beautiful!!!! I love it and what an absolute steal!

I do still have your email!! Sent Our dresses sound really similar! My dress is far more on the glamourous end of the scale rather than casual. My designer is relatively new as well!

I am keeping my dress and accessories at my grandma's house (I have two dogs and could just imagine them chewing up everything!). I went there on Saturday and got to try on my dress with my veil, flowers, jewelry (my mom got me a pretty aquamarine ring for my something blue), and shoes--it was so much fun!! Awww I can't wait to be able to do this!!! How exciting

I am starting to freak out a bit, simply because I have so much to do still and the time is flying. I need a week off work to do some of this but this is my busy time of year. I just tell myself its all going to work out. 12/11/09 – 12/25/09: #1 Order OOT bags ( I slacked and now have to wait for more to come back in stock) #2 Order OOT candles #3 Monogram stickers for my AH invites #4 Jewelry for bridesmaids #5 Decide hair and make up for wedding day – in process One thing at a time, that's the only way I get stuff done! What I did this weekend since it rained all weekend non-stop and heavy too (I'm in CA and this is seriously abnormal weather) I sat on the couch with my laptop and just got wedding stuff done, the whole weekend I didn't go out at all just got up to workout, shower, eat and that's it. So if you can dedicate a weekend to it you should get a lot done.

I just would love to see what everyone here has picked, as we're all kind of doing the same types of weddings.... I can email you my pictures of my dress if you want! My original plan of having a breezy chiffon beachy dress died quickly as soon as I started trying them on and realized how terrible I looked in the dresses. Especially at the last shop when the "Randy" of the shop told me "don't do it girl you look like a little pregnant bride" LOL, no more! So I ended up picking out a dress that I myself was suprised I grabbed. Even the chick that was helping me came over and was like "I'm suprised you picked this! He's my favorite designer" So my dress is nothing like most of the dresses on here, mine is what I love and that's all that matters It's totally not appropriate for a beach wedding (thank goodness I'm not getting married on sand)

wonderful planning thread!!! It's so funny you with not knowing your color scheme! I did the same thing for awhile, I just didn't have colors and so I kept gravitating to whites and greens and then added in purple and that's exactly what my bouquets came out looking like

Wonderful! You're getting stuff done too! Have you already been trying on dresses? I think you are going to look so pretty in a dress!
