lol no sure why the word hispanic popped up in my picture! lol prob because the name of the topper is "hispanic couple" .....Since i am Puerto Rican i guess it works out haha

This is not the centerpieces I will be using for my wedding but it was the centerpiece's my bridesmaids used for my bridal shower and I thought they were so beautiful! I wanted to share this pic with my fellow BDW brides! very simple but beautiful.....

So my Bridal Shower was yesterday It feels so real now!! My bridesmaids did such a good job I couldn't have asked for a better shower! My cake was fabulous, and the centerpieces were so cute! I thought I would post a few pictures for you ladies because we all know how much we LOOOVE pictures here on BDW! My bridesmaids and I (me in the middle) The AMAZING cake the beautiful centerpieces

no pressure! i think is a great idea we can talk cost and stuff thru pm or facebook if you like!

WOW good job Carolina!!!!! so pretty!! i would def be interested in sharing and splitting cost with ya! how many tables are you having? I emailed claudia to ask how many people fit at each table and for table measurements but still no reply.

Thank you ladies now on to the next DIY adventure, bouquets! lol

carolina24 i LOVE that idea!! my colors are also pink and orange but I am clueless as to what i want to do for centerpieces actually i kinda know what I want to do but not sure how practical its gonna be. what are your ideas?

telly...it seems like most of us are doing real touch. I chose silk flowers because i like the idea of being able to keep my bouquet forever

this i just what i needed! thanks!

Thanks Ladies for the dress feedback!!! my invitations are FINALLY sent out! o man what a project! did i mention i hate diy projects!! lol Looking for a good hairpiece now, some kind of flower or something. Any suggestions??

Ok well I should first admit that my DIY skills are awful! I searched for invitations for a long time and could not find anything that I really loved. They were all either too expensive or not what I was looking for. I took a trip to A.C Moore and found a print your own 25ct invitation kit on sale for $23. They were O.K but I thought maybe I can jazz it up a little! So i purchased hot pink cardboard paper from A.C Moore, then purchased the little starfish from Oriental Trading.com. 500 dime sized starfish for $5.99, not bad at all! Then, I took on of my fav pics of us from our trip to Jamaica to one of those Kodak photo kiosk and the picture resized to fit the invitation. And voila! My semi-diy project! With postage and materials for 50 invitations my grand total was around $130. This is the before shot: Here is what I came up with:

o no no no you are not being a bridezilla at ALL!! it looks nothing like the first picture. I would contact the vendor and demand they rush me another bouquet or refund my money. That is just wrong. I wish you all the best

"Crush" by Dave Matthews Band! Some of the beautiful lyrics..... Lovely lady Let me drink you please I won't spill a drop I promise you Lying under this spell you cast on me Each moment The more I love you Crush me Come on It's crazy I'm thinking Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down Is it real or am I dreaming

how are you ladies doing with your dress fittings?? I would love to see your dresses I'll post mine first.....

ughh we are all victims of those hideous clock stamps! at least i know im not alone! lol

Tanyon......those are beautiful centerpieces! I love the 2nd choice, the sliced lemons and tulips! MNH....ugh im going thru kind of the same thing!! Every post office near me is out of pretty 20 cent stamps!! I know its not a big deal but I just want it to look nice and the 20 cent stamps are hideous! Its funny bc a fellow BDW member pointed out to me that "no once cares about the details of you wedding but you" but I disagree! lol

Carolina, I know its pretty exciting to know we will be there the same dates! We will def meet for drinks!....How many guest do you have coming down?

mnh i feel your pain! my FI and I have been working on our invitations for like 5 days now! they are almost complete, im buying the stamps for them today and they should be shipped out by wed! its all starting to feel real!!

I got the idea for my shoes from a fellow BDW member...I only paid like $20 for them off Ebay but i love them! they fit perfectly with the overall feel of my wedding

i LOVE this idea for a centerpiece...but I think it may be too much to pack here are a couple other ideas that im not in love with as much, but they seem pretty simple to do....

Have you ladies decided what you are doing for centerpieces?? I have so many ideas but I have to keep in mind whatever i choose i have to pack and brings with me!

wow thank you for getting this together! i've never heard of a hand ceremony but I started tearing up while reading it....this is a def must do at our wedding now! thanks!!!

omg i just broke out in a sweat! 100 days?!?!?! fueguibgfvagfuigr! lol Im working on my invitations now, I know I know i'm such a slacker! But they are turning out great! They are semi-DIY. Cant wait to post pics for u ladies of the finished product! Should have them mailed out early next week!

great thread! thanks ladies
