Very nicely done!

Hi nsousa - thanks for the tips! I'm going to google Group USA now. I love Jersey Gardens but I don't think I've ever been in there.

Also, if anyone is still looking for dresses, Group USA in Jersey Gardens has great dresses! And reasonable, too! They have a website with some of their stuff on it, so google them. The store is very big and they have a lot to choose from ,so it's worth the trip. They even have some bridal gowns, shoes and jewelry....but the dresses are great and I go here for my dresses for every wedding I attend. Also, a little tip - for wedding gowns...find what you like and call Pearl's Place in Louisiana to order it. I got my dress for half of what all the shops in NYC wanted. They have almost every dress for unbelievably low prices...and they are the real deal.

Very nice job!

Gorgeous pictures! Congratulations!

Hey Tenny, I asked my friend and she said she uses about 20 for her whole head.

Sweet deal! I booked my BD with a photog I found on living social. Good idea to post this here. If I come across any more good ones I'll do the same.

I think you did a great job! Very cool idea!

Thanks, Lara. Kim and Miriam know. They said the rooms are booked by guests from the wedding before ours that are extending their trip so I'm thinking that's a done deal. MDV has availability so we're giving guests that option. Bummed at the idea of guests staying elsewhere but I can't do much about it. Still got my fingers crossed though! Thanks!

That’s fantastic, Jacki! March is right around the corner!

Yay Lara! You can post pics now! Thanks for sharing

Larajo - did you reach out to Floral Fantasies on your own or through your WC? If you did on your own, would you mind sharing Rosemarie's info? Their prices seem pretty reasonable.

That's a bargain! Glad you're happy with them

Great style tenny! I'm not exactly sure on how the clips work but I know there on tons of how to videos on you tube so maybe take a look there. Is you friend making them for you too? I think that is the hardest part.

Carrie - don't make my same mistake! I think you should maybe reserve it then re-assess as it gets closer. I absolutely hate the idea of people staying elsewhere but it seems that's what's going to happen.

Great story and gorgeous ring! Congrats!

Hi Sarah! I'm having guest issues too. A few of our guests decided to invite people we don't know and are taking up more than the one room we thought they would. So stressed! We've run out of space...I'll send you an email. Out of curiosity, are any of you ladies staying at MDC June 19? We made the sad mistake of not blocking off the entire resort and could really use the two rooms that we didn't get.

Great dresses!

These are amazing! Great job!

Congratulations and welcome, Carrie! Maybe Check out Sungold Photography's website for pictures of MDV receptions. I've seen some gorgeous ones they've shot on there. Your coordinator may have pictures she can send you as well. As far as activities, someone had posted a pretty good list of things to do a few pages back on this thread. That may help. We didn't buy travelers insurance. We never do, to be honest but I could totally see why you'd want to. Are you working with a travel agent? Is that something you'd get from them? Happy planning!

Wow! Very nice! Does he work at a dealership? Hot car!

LOVE these! Nice job!

Good luck! Let us know how it worked out...

Sarah, my colors are yellow, ivory and gold. Talking more is a great idea. I love speaking to MDC brides! I had asked Kerry about chargers and I think she said they’re available for rent. I’ll take a look at my emails to see if she said how much. I don’t think I’m doing them though because the tables I’ve seen decorated without them look good enough to me. My fiancé is originally from JA too so he’s got tons of family and friends that live there. His brother (the best man) just moved back down from the US and lives in Mo’ Bay and when they send him barrels we stuff wedding junk at the very top, lol. Congrats to Aeysha!. Stacey seemed great and I’ve heard great things about her. I had reached out to her a while back but she didn’t have my date available. I’m in Norwalk, CT (an hour from NYC). I’ve got two good friends in BK so I’m there all the time. Small world!

My best friend does this all the time. She gets clips from the same place she gets the hair for $.50 a pop and sews those bad boys on to the tracks and voila!

Love it. I think it'll go great with your super-hot dress!
