That looks FAB!!!! Love it! Can't wait to see it with the ribbon.

They look really great! Love the stamp, will have to look into one of those!

Please post pictures when you do finish them. I just found terry cloth on sale at Fabricland, usually $12 a meter down to $4. Not exactly the colors I was looking for, but it will mean $1 a pillow case, not too shabby.

Jescman - As soon as the transfer goes through with Kool I will be booking Del Sol. Not only do they take great pictures, but have been a big help all around! I'll keep Yazmin in mind. You like her so far? Has she done a lot of weddings at Kool?

Jesmcan - not sure if you have sen these? But Del Sol Photograpghy sent them to me, slide shows from receptions at Kool. Nothing like looking at them again and again, specially when you have a bad day at work Thank you again to Del Sol! 02.27.09 Nam and Kate | Wedding at Kool Playa del Carmen Mexico | Photographer Sol Tamargo and Vincent del Sol Photography Wedding Photojournalism 04.19.09 Lindsay and Tim | Playacar and Kool Wedding | Photos by Vincent Enjoy!

Thanks! I'm so excited about about the reception at Kool, maybe even more than the wedding I haven't hired a planner, so far Liliana has been great. So I am hoping I don't need one? But maybe closer to the day I will hire one just to ensure all the details are met day of... I love planning events, I am really enjoying doing everything myself right now. But like I said, I will probably need help day of. I will keep you posted on how the transfer goes. Planning to take care of it in the next couple of weeks. Not sure what we'll do if it doesn't work?

That is excellent, looks like they ship to canada as well. Thank you! They are $1 each if you order 50.

I'm in the same situation. I was hoping to find a wedding website template that allowed for "maybe", but haven't had any luck. Any other suggestions out there? Thanks ladies!

....bumping...

I felt the same way, I only had one day with my MOH in from out of town (she flew 3 hours) and my mom in from out of town. So every dress I tried on that wasn't the one was disappointing, what if we didn't find it while they were here? Plus the first shop, I hated the person helping me. I said I wanted lace, tried 3 laces ones and we all decided lace wasn't my style. Told her this, she brought more lace dresses, WTF? In the end we found one at another story, with amazing help! and I was thrilled! But overall I did not love the experience. I only loved the minute I put on the dress I ended up getting. I've had a few friends who had the same experience.

I was also going suggest paper laterns, but the round ones. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...anterns-37079/ We are using these on the guestbook table and the escort card tables. I bought 8 inch ones, really pretty ribbon to tie on top and decorated with jewel type stickers. (they look like little dianmonds). I really like the latterns with the menus too!

Looks great! I love all the details, especially the back, it is stunning!

Love the digital scrapbook idea to give it some flair! My FI talked about doing this, I am pretty sure I saw it somewhere in the DIY section. He keeps calling it our Face Book. Love to see pics when you finish!

I'm about to book with Kool! Woohoo! Did any of you ladies do a wire transfer, any problems with it? Any concerns? It's making me a little nervous. Liliana has been great to work with. I hear back from her within 2 days, we have spreadsheet we are using, estimate tab, question tab, timeline tab and a "vision" tab with all my pictures. I love excel

hahaha I had a similar dream, and I am also a year off Hopefully that makes you feel better. I got up the next morning and made a list and I set a goal everyday, seems to have stopped the dreams. Reminded me of the math test dream... never went to class, never studied and now I need to pass the exam. Now the dreams have changed to me being pregnant...not sure which is worst, lol

Princess402 and A J Mitchell I think I am using a similar blue, cobalt or royal I guess. here is the dress for my girls... Princess402 The colors my FI picked where Orange and Blue. I agreed as long as the BMs dress were picked first as I didn't want to be held or commit to one blue, hahaha. Saw this dress and I was yup I can commit to that blue! I think I'll have the flowers done in white and orange and it will look great. There's a thread on here for Orange and Aqua. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...colours-42709/ I think the aqua and dark yellow will also look really great!

Could you use the bottles from Sand Blast entertainment that other brides have used for DIY Message in a Bottle invites? Or maybe the dollor store would have something? Or maybe a make your own wine place would have smaller bottles used for ice wine? or coolers? I'll keep thinking Good luck, please post the results. My FI are doing a chicken rub I make everyone loves and a salad dressing for our AHR favors. It's over a year away, so I haven't really thought about packaging.

I have been hunting for 2-3 months now for inflatable pillows. I saw this article on Martha Stewart to make terry cloth pillow cases. I thought, what a great idea for our OOT bags! But I can not find the pillows. I have tried camping supplies, beach toys and about 1000 google searches. Nothing in stores, and google keeps bringing back weird sites where you negotiate a price on like 1000 of them from china. Or I find travel pillows for over $10. I was hoping to stay under $5. Martha Stewart Article: Terry Cloth Cases and more creative crafts projects, templates, tips, clip-art, patterns, and ideas on marthastewart.com Maybe one of you have seen them out there If not I may resort to trying to turn waterwings into pillows Thanks!!!

Great idea, and the shake bottles should stack to make for easier packing!!!

Hey ladies, I tried to convince my friend getting married here to join the forum, but we couldn't find any other brides at the time. I am looking forward to letting her know you have started a string! Also looking forward to attending her wedding in January 2011. I will post pictures and a guest review.

At a friend's wedding they used parasols, it was super cute.

The beach bags are awesome. I also got them in dark brown with brighter blue handles. We used one for our vacation, great size and still looked brand new afer a week of use. Here are some pictures... as you can see my cat smeagol is modeling beside them, they are quite big.

Looks great, really like the colors!

Love the OOT box, so pretty!!!!
