I'm getting so excited for you! Your flowers look amazing. It makes me start to get giddy to get mine!

Wow! You have so much done! I'm guessing getting everyone together for a DIY day beats doing it yourself, like I've been doing!

Sarah, your bags are AMAZING! One more thing checked off the list!

I've tried searching for other BM dresses but I keep going back to the convertible dress. I love the idea of it!! So with my heart set on it, I'm wondering where I can find them in the darker purple reasonably priced. Any ideas of where to search would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!! Great minds really must think alike. I went to go get that dress, and they were all out of the purple. I was so frustrated!

Those are AMAZING! I've been on the fence about doing a BD shoot since I'm a 16/18 size girl too, but your pictures are fabulous, and have given me the extra confidence that I can rock it! THANK YOU! I'd love to see more of them, to get an idea for posing, etc. Any advice you could throw my way would be more than appreciated!

Those look great! Very professional. Great job!

I'm a Sandals St. Lucia bride as well. I choose this island over Antigua because of the possibility of a large wedding party. The fact that St. Lucia had 3 resorts (and the Stay at 1 - Play at 3 option). It meant that our guests could stay at any of the resorts. I've been assured by my WC that the resort, venues for the ceremony, etc would be more than large enough to accommodate everyone. Good luck with your choice. I'm sure you'll have a perfect DW regardless of which one you choose.

If you don't mind me asking, how does the VS hoodie fit you?

I've been trying to think of a gift for our male guests. The cufflinks are a great idea, but I think they're a bit formal for our DW, since my FI and his groomsman are wearing khaki's and linen shirts. Is your wedding party wearing suits that would make cufflinks a usable gift while they're there? I'm totally useless for sayings though! haha

I love the sparkler holders! It's definitely given me inspiration! I'm still waiting to hear if my resort will allow them, but it's such a cute idea! And thanks for posting your chapstick template. I've been looking for a cute saying for mine that isn't the "Besame Mucho" that most of the brides on here use, since our destination isn't spanish! Thanks again! It all looks great!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure your wedding will be fabulous in MD!

Those look amazing! I love the colours. And isn't it amazing when the Fi gets on board with wedding projects!?

Those look great. Very antique-y and rustic. I'm sure it's exactly the look you want! Great job... I can't wait to see the finished products!

I am a firm believer in tipping for good service(s) rendered. If they make your day even a bit less stressful, or provide something to you beyond their customary charges, I say tip them. I'm having the same issue, since most of our arrangements have been made through the resort. I'd be interested in hearing what other brides have to say.

They look great, Sarah! Quick question though. Did you remove the label from the chapstick tubes, or leave them on and just put the label over them?

Wow, everything looks amazing! Great job!

My template is too large to post, but it was simple to make. Here is the image of what the labels will look like (when I finally get them printed and put on the first aid kits!) If anyone would like the .psd that I have for it, please PM me. I'm unsure of how to make it a smaller file without compromising the quality.

Wow. That is a GORGEOUS dress. However, I think a size 0-2 would fit my leg! I'm sure you'll have NO problem selling it!

Can we get an updated list for the clear starfish(es)? I'd like to make sure I can be added to the list. If not, I'll order my own. Thanks!

Those are so cute. Great find!

These look AMAZING. Great job!

I have gotten numerous brochures and pdf's from my WC, but nothing mentioned these "hidden" costs, such as the decorating fee, etc. I'm still hoping that she'll respond to my email and just tell me these costs flat out. Fingers crossed!

Congratulations! I hope your day was perfect... can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

I love these! The bags are perfect. I'm sure your guests will love them!
