Hey girl. What hotel did you shoot your BD in? I am trying to find a place in Baltimore that has a good neutral backdrop like that for my shoot next month.

You are really good with the whole DIY computer stuff!! Thanks for these great ideas

Wow girl you got so lucky on your dress. It's beautiful I love how you put the album together!!

You are so beautiful! I did not expect anything less than perfect from you (I have been admiring all of your great DIYs) and everything was beyond perfect in these pics! I loveeeee your fabric and lantern ceiling, the isle, your boquet...EVERYTHING! Congrats and it looks like your guests had a BLAST!!

Love the lanterns, they really make it look so festive! Thanks for posting all the great info. Your wedding was beautiful. Congrats!

I love your thread, everything is so detailed! Your OOT bags are too cute! I love how you used your monogram on everything, it added such a personal touch. Great idea with the pre wedding brochure. Congrats and thanks for the helpful ideas!

I agree with all of the other girls in that it's natural to question things with that much drama going on. He would not have asked you to marry him if he wanted to be with other girls so I would not worry about that. I would also be jealous and pissed that all of his exs are still so much in his life. Would he ever consider moving away from the small town and all of the drama that comes with it?

Great job with everything! Your table numbers were super cute. I love the lotto gift, I am so stealing this idea!!

Hey MD/DC/VA Girls!! I am a Baltimore bride getting married in Montego Bay, Jamaica! Have any of you bought your TTD dress yet? If so, where did you find it. I am looking for something cheap but I want to purchase it locally b/c it freaks me out to buy it online since it will be in so many important pics!

What size lantern did you girls end up using? I am so bad at math and anything number related. The sizes are between 6 inch-20 inch? I want them to be the "normal" med size. How many inches would that be!!!

Very cute. I also made a couple shirts and I was loungin in one today and FI was like You can't wear that until we are in Jamaica in 4 months LOL!

where did you get your Cake Pedestal? It looks like the perfect size! Was it a pain brining it down with you?

EWWW. Good thing I changed them 2 nights ago or I would feel so nasty right now. I know I should change them more than once every 3-4 weeks, but it's just one of those tasks that is no fun!

I LOVE my wedding dress, but I feel like the bottom may be too heavy for our entire reception. We are having it outside in an open air restaurant and based on the reviews of the location on here, it can get kind of hot even at night. Here is my first dress that I will be wearing to the ceremony and to at least the first part of the reception. Here is the potential second dress. I love the lace style but I really wanted to wear a "princess dress" for at least part of my wedding, since it really is the only time in life that you can do so! I love this style and was planning on doing my TTD in this style of dress regardless, but this is more than I want to spend on just TTD. I want to get more use than just TTD (If I don't wear it during the wedding, then I will have to find something cheaper, but I love this dress). ****What time do you girls think is an appropriate time to change into the second dress? If any of you are/are going to be 2 dress brides, what were you planning on doing? **** Is the cake cutting normally done in the first dress, or would that be a good time to unveil the new gown?

Beautiful! These are some of the best TTD I have seen! What a lucky couple you are to have a photog you know will do the best possible work for you!

So pretty. I love how they are not full color, I think it makes them all the more sexy!

Thank you so much for posting that link to the pics!! I had been searching all over and could not find them anywhere!! It looked sooooo beautiful!!!! I am so suprised she had purple bridesmaids dresses, since she is so not a girly girl.

It has been exactly 4 months today and still no dress!!! I did call to see if they had any idea of when it would be in and they said, "It should be in soon". I hope so!!!!!

WOW!!! Those look amazing! I have seen the same exact look for $8+ if you have a company do it for you. I gotta say WOW again!!!!!!!!

Those look great, very professional looking!!!!

Very beautiful! Your photog did a great job of capturing your happiness!!!

SOOOOOO Beautiful!!! I love all of your pictures! You look amaizng and your wedding was perfect!!!

I love the neckline on you! Congrats on finding your dress!!

So pretty! And I loveeeee your photographer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very cute. Are you into scrapbooking? My local store always has cute projects like this and I never have time to complete them. I also love the idea of the "Almost Married" reception. Since we are getting married in DEC a AHR would not really work since it's going to be freezing and I wanted to do some kind of cookout/outdoors thing. What a great idea to consider doing it before we leave. How far in advance are you having yours?
