Here is my ring! Its a Verragio ring out of the Paradisio collection! FH picked it out himself and I couldnt be happier!!!!! FH loved it bc it was different!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! I feel so much better!!! I purchased this dress and its paid in full! I think the biggest thing was I also tried on the Ireland dress way more beachy and flowy and everyone in the store was freaking out and loving it and I didnt like it, granted it was 2 sizes too small and I couldnt get the full picture. But I did keep going back to this Harriet dress and I loved it!!! I think the only weird thing about it is the material its an organza like but very different almost a unique tiny box pattern up close. But Im going to see about the taking a layer of toile(sp?) out underneath and not wear that darn poofy petty coat underneath it adds way too much. I also ordered my veil which they had in stock but Im wondering if the veil is part of the issue Im having!! thanks everyone for your support!!!! I love this forum!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Im concerned its too "poofy" even though technically its not a poofy ballerina type dress! Anyone else going poofy?!

Hey all!! I know there are a bunch of brides out there worried that they chose the wrong dress and I am def one of them. Im so nervous, stressed and hesitant. Even though there prob. is not much I can do now, as I have already ordered the dress back in March and it already came in!! And I went and tried it on again and it is pretty and I like it a lot. But Im worried how do I know its right? I loved too many and I did keep going back to this one. But I only tried on maybe 12 dresses or so. I dunno. Its a once in a life time thing and Im just worried. There are sooo many dresses out there, Im really concerned and worried I made the wrong decision! I would love to hear what everyone thinks! Thanks so much!!! This is my dress its a maggie.. the Harriet

Oh my gosh girl!!! everything looks amazing!! I always look forward to seeing your posts!!! can wait to see your planning thread and more pics!!! Was that your villa with the pool.. damn?! I think I chose the wrong destination!!!!!

I had navy blue envelopes and wrote on them with silver sharpie and it looked awesome!

We are paying for my bridesmaids dresses, the grooms mens attire, the ring bearers outfits, and the flower girls dress. I think were nuts lol! They are all expensive except for the little ones clothes. BUt I feel like we should pay for them seeing that we are having them travel so far for our wedding. They will pay for their own alterations if needed. I was wondering what other peoples thoughts were on this, good thread!

I think the location/resort was sort of easy to choose. There are tons and tons of options. But I chose BEACHES Resort at Turks and Caicos! Its all inclusive for yourself, FI, and guests!! But you can also upgrade/change many things!! I def think all inclusive is the way to go. Its nice! and we have done it before and it was fabulous. Also our friends were married at T&C. and they have gone to a sandals/beaches resort every year since!! Good Luck choosing!!!

our friends just got married in disney! at the grand floridian! It was amazing!Married in the chapel and then had an outdoor reception with cinderella's castle in the distance! Me being a disney freak as well, thinks it is an awesome idea! there are so many packages to choose from its un real! and her pictures were amazing!! They also received a 1yr annual pass for 2! for getting married there...cant beat that!

katken those pics are way cute!!! love the last one.. total gorgeous-ness!

A lot of people I know trash their real dress and its totally fine. They just get it dry cleaned and its back to normal!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THE TWILIGHT SERIES. I read the entire series in two weeks. I could not put it down! I also love Emily Griffin books. Im on "something blue" now. Another all time FAVORITE BOOK IS "THE TIME TRAVELERS WIFE" out standing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OoO thank you so much for the link to the cups!!!

My fiance asked for permission as well. Out of respect and he asked both parents. He said he was extremely nervous but I knew my parents would never say no, they love him and I way too much!

has anyone ordered replicated bridesmaids dresses?!?

This is my dress... Maggie Sottero Harriet

k you everyone!!! Everyone is sooo helpful. Its a huge tie between 1 and 2. I love #1 for its bling and wow factor and I love #2 for the matching and elegance factor. I think with #3 I will get it for everyday type of wear!! I do have a necklace that matches the earrings but still debating on wearing it! It may be just too much!!! Thanks for the feedback.

me too!! I want it to be flashy! Thats why I like 1 and 3 best! and 2 because it matches!! decisions... decisions...

hey thanks!! I actually desgined them from another pair of earrings and two necklaces from Kay Jewelers!

these are the earrings!

I wanted to get some opinions... I posted a thread about bracelets and everyone was sooooooooooooo helpful..thank you!! Now Im interested in seeing who likes which bracelet best.. to match the earrings!!! #1 #2 #3 THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!

OH MY GOSH! I am having the same issue! how the heck do I know I got the right dress?!?! There are so so so so so many to choose from! Did I choose the right one? Im freaking out! It finally came in after pruchasing it back in March. Its a Maggie Sottero.. Harriet! Which I never picked out before going to the wedding dress shop and it is beautiful but quite large and I didnt realize BUT I did tell myself I wouldnt skimp on a dress I loved. I dunno!!!! Im freaking out. I bought it after 2 hours of shopping.. not even and there was a close runner up and Im just wondering if I should have chose something different. Ugh!! This stinks!
