I have a feeling there will be many more days like today. =) I am not good with decisions.

Ok so over all the day was good. I went alone and it was really nice. I took my time, didn't have to listen to anyone's opinion but my own. I tried on two dresses that I saw online and liked both. I tried on many others and liked a few. The first one is a David Bridal dress, very comfortable, easy and light, this size was just a little too big but they didn't have any others. The next is the Mon Cheri Destinations 18107, saw it on the DWF not very flattering on me but for those who want to see what the dress looks like on me. The last two dresses are at Alfred Angelo. When I walked in I didn't think that I would find anything I liked but I tried on a few suggestions of the sweet girl who worked there and a few turned out to be quite nice. Not sure how I feel about the Tafida (last three)

I love the wedge sandals above, Might try and find them for myslef.

One of my best friends just married in a ivory dress and her groomsmen wore a toupe color shirt. She went with long sleve because it was chilly in San Diego during there wedding.

Maybe this site..........Augusta Jones This dress is very like the orange one They have MANY MANY shops in the UK. Good luck.

You look amazing in those pictures. Great gift idea.

Awwwww, Thats great. I should ask mine to scrub the deck too. lol JK Have fun with the folks.

Love it and thanks for doing the research for me.

Great pictures. You look sooo beautiful.

So I am sooooooooooo excited and nervous that I am going dress shopping tomorrow. I decided to go alone (thanks everyone for all of your support on getting me excited to head out alone) What should I wear? What about shoes? Should I wear make up and do my hair a little? (I tend to be a no makeup baseball cap kind of girl) Should I bring a list of designers I like? Should I know what kind of sytle I like? Pictures? What is up with the sizes, how do know what size? Oh and please feel free to share any other helpful information that I have not mentioned. Thanks so much.

I saw some cheap bags in the dollar section (right at the front of the store)at Target yesterday. They had MANY different colors and sizes. Would make a great OOTY Bag. They would be easy to iron a logo on also. Happy Planning

THanks this really helps.

Wlcome and great weddinging location. Hope to see you around on the Forum.

I have been going through the same thing. It is so over welming. At first I thought east coast in the fall then Lake Taheo in the spring, then mexico, thought about the cayman islands too. There are so many different areas that each offer something special. I recomend decide on an area then figure out if you want an all inclusive or not. That narrows it down sooooo much. I had a list of like 75 resorts and realized this was crazy I needed to narrow it down. Good luck and dont get stressed. (I should take my own advise) It should be fun.

After I finshed the twlight series I was depressed and didn't know what to do with myself Ha ha maybe plan a wedding. But the books are a great easy read that gives you a wonderful fantasy world away from everything else in life. I would recomend them to anyony I even got my FI to read the first two books.

Yea prob a pride thing and they might feel guilty for haveing you pay for it all. Is she the maid of honor?

Love these so much!! THanks for sharing

Sorry to hear about your father. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. I think that is all of our nightmares is to not bea able to share this with our families. I think one of the reasons we choose a DW is to have more time then 20 minutes at a crazy wedding reception with each guest if even that. I am sorry honey. =(

Congrats and welcome. Marring your best friend is the way to go. I am

Welcome and Congrats. You are in the right place.

I love the 'bedding type not guaranteed for group' I guess groups get beach towels for sheets lol
