I tried making my own pocket folds it was a disaster. So I purchased my from. Cards & Pockets they have great pricing!!! Good luck!

KarenK77 Depending if they have all the pashminas in stock they ship within 24hrs and will take a couple days to get to you. You have plenty of time if you order in the next month!

I found Whitney on craigslist and was given an amazing deal! Her pictures looked amazing and I was so excited to work with her. After finding out we no longer were having a DW I contacted her to also look into take pics of our wedding and not just the reception. She tripled her price for adding the ceremony. It was insane. After the issues I had with her concerning getting my engagement pics my FI and I decided to look somewhere else and I am glad we did! Come to find out one of our friends who used her didnt get all the pics that were taken at the wedding. She knew there were poses they did but never saw the pics. It was so frustrating to her! Turns out after threatening a lawsuit Whitney finally sent her the additional 450 pics she had from the wedding and locked them so my friend cant edit them. In the contact it states FULL RIGHTS to the photos. This lady is soooo bad at communicating and you dont get what you ask for. I am glad I didnt have to go through with her as my wedding photog but feel horrible for my friend who has to. Her wedding was back in September and she just got ALL the photos. Please if you live in Minnesota do not sign anything with them!

Bam bam

No beach for me ladies I am no longer a DW bride! It will be back home here in MN. Its been a crazy journey with the wedding plans. We have had three different dates. We still get to go on our cruise Thank you for all the responses this is helping me out a lot. I like it cut but when looking at the pics it makes me look short. I might look into keeping it a bit longer but still no clue......

We are lucky because for all of our guests its there first destination wedding it gives me licence to run with my ideas.(well borrow them from all you girls)xx The one I tried on is a fingertip length veil. I dont think I want a floor length one because of the detailing on the back of my dress. Quote: Originally Posted by kuteliya I think the flower alone would be perfect if you so choose it! You look beautiful!!!! So maybe a fly away netting(or tulle netting with the flower). I found this one rith Rhinestone's don't know if its to your liking but also a sparkly option !! I do have to agree with the above poster that a longer chapel or cathedral length veil would look absolutely gorgeous as well if you so chose to go with the veil route... I did see a couple with netting on etsy yesterday I liked. I think I need to go into the bridal shop and see if they have any to try on with the dress. Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride You're so beautiful Hol!!! I really like the veil & flower!! I wasn't going to go with a veil at first (since I was having a simple beach wedding!) but I grabbed my friends veil to take with me just in case. I am so glad that I took it...the veil made me feel that much more "bride-y". But like the other girls said, it's totally up to you! Awww thanks Manders! I am leaning towards a veil. I had A look at the pic of me but minus my dress of course and he liked the veil and flower combo. Quote: Originally Posted by surprise4us I love both the veil and the flower. Whatever you feel looks the best and you are comfortable with you should do. This is my second and the first time I had a cathedral length veil, but this time I am afraid of it blowing in the wind in my face. I might go with just a flower. We are having it indoors so I dont have to worry about a veil in my face but I love seeing pics with a long veil blowing in the wind!

Dont they make you all hot and heavy too?

Here is a pic of the dress and me with a veil and flower

Its an indoor wedding so it wont be dragging really on anything if I do cut it. I always can have someone carry it so just to make sure.

I do like my dress but I wonder if I should make a change to the train. Should I cut it so the lace just drags or not? Thanks! UNCUT I would tack down the underlay and lace CUT

Yes do blog you post made me chuckle

Congrats and welcome. YOu will find loads of info on this forum! Happy planning!

OMG cougs you are NUTZO. Ok I need a pedi to for my taters! Yeah no challenge for me yet....Im a slaver

I worked in a floral shop so I have actually dont flowers before but I dont want to add any more DIY but I think I will be on this one. I was thinking about Sams and Costco today. They actually have really nice flowers! I helped do a wedding last year that they got flowers from Sams!

IT IS YOUR BIG DAY Hope it is everything you dreamed about!

Sweet thanks Heather Got the idea now I was looking at a crystal boq or a feather one. I think I need to stop at craft stores tonight after I kidnap my MOH to help me.
