Go 'head, señorita! Gorgeous!

I LOVE the dress and think its perfect as is. It fits like it was made for you. Great choice!

Hi Sarah! Congrats to you too! Don’t worry about not having enough time….I’m sure things will work out beautifully! Sounds like you got most of the big stuff anyway. To be honest, since doing the big things, I feel like I haven’t done much else. That could only be me though, lol. What’s better is you have Aeysha who’s been where you are now as a friend. I know she’s a photog - are you having her shoot your wedding? I’d happily leave you whatever you want as I definitely don’t want to lug much back home. I’m getting paper lanterns too if you’re interested, although I’m not too sure how well they hold up. Kerry said they’d happily string them for us. Happy planning!

So impressive! Nice work!

HAHA! Mishi - that sounds like something my FI would say!

Thanks! They're my favorite flowers. My bouquet is made up of all white ones (I got real-touch). I do that google image search often...I think I'm borderline obsessed, haha. To embed an image I use the tool bar at the top of the reply box. If you click the the 15th icon from the left (says "Insert Image" if you hover over) you should be prompted to add or upload an image. Hope that works for you.

That makes a lot of sense. I'm not sure of our final headcount (we've got 30 guests booked so far) so I’m trying to think of all things centerpiece in terms of number per table rather than in total. We're doing the rectangular tables as well and for centerpieces, floating cymbidium orchids (some in tall vases, some in short ones). They’ll be pretty big so we’ll have one centerpiece per table too and I’m thinking two votives per table would work beautifully. I may even bring some small tealights to scatter around . It may be too much but worst case, we don’t use them¸ lol. A past MDC bride had shared teaser pics of her wedding and I loved the heights of her centerpieces and that fact that they varied. My flowers and water will look different but here is the pic so you see what I mean. The decor in the inspiration link you shared is absolutely gorgeous! I had to google ginger lilies and I love them! Great choice.

That's a great idea, LaraJo. Thanks for sharing . I'll check in with Kerry to try to figure out how much I'd need. Do you have an idea of how many you may get per table?

So cool!

Congrats LaraJo! Those villas are gorgeous and Modern Trousseau sounds awesome!

Hi Robin! You’re so right…time is flying! I find myself online all the time getting things together so if I can do anything to help send me a shout. When is the running of the Brides? Actually no, don’t tell me. I already have my dress. Last thing I need to do is look at others, haha. Hopefully Saturday goes well and you find your dream dress.

Wow! They're gorgeous! Love the packing list. Such a great idea to include that.

Gorgeous! I think I have the same shoes. Nine West? I left a comment (its awaiting moderation). Hopefully you get enough for discounted prints!

How about ceremony programs? Will you be doing those?

Hi - I read somewhere on here that the Pioneer Group is at 24 West 27th Street, between Broadway and 6th Ave.

Hey Jessica! I think reception favors would be a nice touch but def. not required so I say do whatever works with your budget. We're doing both. Like you, we're giving out OOT bags at our welcome dinner. Loved the idea of giving favors at the reception so we're doing shot glasses and lottery tickets. They didn't cost much and we're not going all out on OOT bags so, all things considered, we wont be spending a fortune. If we have and AHR we probably won't do favors though. Good luck!

Ok, got it. I think it would make a great reception dress. You're getting somewhere, lol. I ordered that dress from the Limited and hate it so I'm still at square one. Not a bad dress but I want something more wow. Your gown sounds amazing. Mine is from david's. It's mermaid style and pretty plain as well but it's got some jewels on the chest. I'm in love.

They're beautiful! Nice work!

Love these! I have stirrers too and think its such a nice touch. You did a great job!

Even better! I say buy it, Tenny. Worst case, you hate it and send it back. Would this be for your rehearsal dinner or reception? What's your gown like?

Tenny - that's hot! Hi Theresa! I feel your excitement too! I'm about 6 months away!

So pretty! Thanks for sharing!

They're beautiful! You asked for feedback on the outside. I think they're perfect as is. Which shade of green did you like best? They're all pretty!

I like it Tenny. With the right jewelry and shoes I think it would look fab. I would even get it for myself. Where is it from? I'm kinda tall though and it looks on the shorter side.

Good thinking to email them. Thanks!
