Congrats you lucky girl! That is amazing you found the exact one in your exact size!! Go buy a lottery ticket, you are obviously on a lucky streak! For the TTD, I am dealling with Babyonline at the moment and am almost 6 weeks in since ordering and we are not even at final pictures yet before shipping. However from reading all the posts on here it seems I'm just having a bad time and overall they are better than this. Give yourself some buffer time, I think 3 months is more than enough including shipping time (in my opinion). If you don't find anything on October 22nd, then make sure you have an online backup plan and order straight away (have your measurements taken before hand) and you might have the dress by Christmas!! Good luck!

How exciting!! I felt the same, I went last Thursday to see mine for the first time. I was so nervous on teh run up to that day, but was so relieved once I had the dress on me. I'm sure you will be very happy!

Sign up for daily emails and you'll get sent links for free products and all you have to do is pay the shipping! Play around with your cart for shipping prices. I would find I could get a bunch of items with low pricing but if I ordered one more (even if small in size) the price would jump. So for example, a few days ago I ordered more bags, mouse pad, pen, wired notebook, sticky pad and baseball cap and shipping was less than $6. However if I added a tiny keychain it jumped to $12. Weird. Note : You can only order one free product per order. Still a great deal! We did our Save The Dates using Vistaprint too -> http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/70478/our-diy-std-postcards-magnets-with-photos-free-from-vistaprint

I was in Holland for work recently and I found them there!

sxcT and Bride2012, your rings are beautiful!

Is the starfish now on the way to futuremrstgun? I assume you guys have exchanged messages to get addresses? After futuremrstgun, my little blue guy will be coming back to me to be my something old and something blue and I am so excited to see pictures and notes in the notebook that is traveling with the starfish!

Felicia, we are getting married in November (leaving in just 6 weeks!!) and our color theme is yellow, so keep an eye on here in about 2-3 months for yellow themed items for sale! I'm surprised to find it's not a polular wedding color, hard to find things to coordinate.

I meant Jen not Hen!

Hen your pictures are gorgeous and you look beautiful! Congrats! Can you tell me where you got the starfish you have on the fans, and the little ones on the maraca tags? Also where did you get those adorable mini champagne bottles? How was the saxophone? That's what we will be having too. Did you pay extra for the dance floor. Thanks for sharing!

You want to loose 30lbs???? Are you planning on amputating a leg or something Erin? Based just on your profile picture you are being hard on yourself, you look great and I can't imagine where that 30 lbs is coming from!! Everyone with experience on here highly recommends professional measurements so be sure to get that done! Quote: Originally Posted by erinmc Thanks I think I will go with Jasmine's. I did look at there pictures and this dress is on there and looks amazing!!! My wedding isn't until 10/2012. When is it suggested to order? I know i have plenty of time. I would like to lose 30 lbs. Did you go to a professional to get measurements?

Erin here is your dress :

I loved all these pictures!!

Love it!

For something as detailed as this I think you will need to go with the higher quality option of Jasmine. It's only $100 more than Gianinar but WAY less than full price in a store here.

Gorgeous. Love your bouquet.

You are so welcome! I know what a pain it was to out this together so if it helps anyone else then I'll be happy! Other sections that may help you too are Helpful Hintts & Tips and Virtual tours.. Only 2 months to our wedding now so when we come back and get settled I will write a detailed review with pics so you'll have that well before your June wedding.

I emailed babyonline this morning and said I wanted to cancel my order as they've been telling me for almost 2 weeks now that they would email me pictures but didn't, but magicaly about an hour later I got my pictures, which you can see below. What do you think? I've asked them to remove the second row of beading (had never requested that) : Any honest feedback would be appreciated! Besides asking to remove the second row of beading, do you have any other advice or suggestions? I also asked them to confirm if boning and if so how many.

Eun-sil I haven't posted pictures for 2 reasons, (1) I know some friends are on here and I'm afraid they'll see, and (2) it's a silly Irish superstition not to show anyone but your mother or sisters your dress before the wedding, LOL. When we got back from the store last night my mum was going on and on about making sure nobody sees the dress, and about how when she flies back to Ireland I'd have to "protect" it by myself, ha ha, she's cute. Next fitting is October 6th and then one more trip to pick it up so I think it will be late October before it's ready, we fly November 6th, so at that point I think I'll be able to hang tough and not show it to anyone as we'll be so close to the wedding. I ordered a TTD dress from China (babyonline) and i have pictures posted of that. Am having a rough time with babyonline though so the way things are going I think I'll be trashing my real dress as I won't have my knock off!

I had my first dress fitting this evening!!!!!!!!!!! Has everyone had this by now? Everyone kept asking me in advance was I excited ..... i felt awful because my honest answer was no. (i know that sounds horrible but i was ssooo nervous rather than excited). I felt so terrified that I found and chose this dress in the US when all my family were in Ireland so thus I was alone when I picked my own wedding gown, as a result I had automatically assumed I made a bad choice! The lady at the store though was so amazing and took pics so I could email home (before i bought the dress!). Anyways .... I picked my dress alone a few months ago and had my mum fly to Boston for the fitting today and I am sssssssssooooo relieved to say I am so happy!! The de-stress is HUGE! I really love my dress. I'm going to bed now to dream of my dress .................

I would be interested!
