So glad to hear that the quality is good. I think it will look completely different once you try it on. And I hope it meets all you wishes. I've been to two Maggie trunk shows and the pricing wasn't much different, only about $100. The big thing is that they have a few new dresses. I'll be looking forward to checking out your pics this weekend.

Lisa, I will be checking this thread all night looking for your pictures! I am also going to check out the Avon dresses. I ordered a BM dress from Monica Bridal just because I had the $15 off coupon, so we'll see how that works out too.

Ginger, I just sent them an email asking for photos, will get a response tonight. Karen&Rene was told that they now do this.

Marzm - Absolutely Gorgeous! I'm so glad that it turned out and that it fits so well. Karen&Rene - I just ordered from Monica Bridal last week, maybe I will have to ask about pre-shipping pictures. It might help tide me over until it arrives.

FutureMrsHolt - Feel free to use it. I just looked around for various wording to come up with our own little poem.

Fabulous news Lisadias! I hope mine don't get delayed by the Chinese holiday. Although, I am in Regina for work and won't be home until id November anyways. But at least I will be happier knowing it's sitting at home once it arrives.

After designing our invites, I've also decided to add a teal blue. The bridal bouquets are yellow callas, white orchids with pink accents, tied with teal ribbon.

What did everyone do for their birth certificates before they left? Did you just get the photocopies certified by a Notary?

We live in Stoney Creek, Ontario. Trying to do planning in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Looks great! I hope it arrives quickly!

Here's our Vistaprint Photo Cards: Â Â On the back, with the instructions and details, I wrote a little poem: Â Our photographers were an amazing pair, But there are still many memories left to share, Please email or upload your pictures online, Be sure to show everyone our amazing time.

I wanted a corset closure for the same reasons, plus I'm sure I'll puff up with the heat, humidity and my inability to resist the delicious food. And you never know if there will be a miraculous slimming down of my rear?!? Â

Ginger, Your dress looks so fun with the ruffles and the sexy slit. I hope it arrives quickly. And I really hope Lisadias' arrives today so we can all see the long awaited results.

Lisadias - Have faith... whenever I get stuff sent from overseas I start to wonder if it will arrive. Then I track, see it left the orient a few days before and then it magically arrives. No tracking in between.

My big worry is that because we are there almost a week in advance any weight I drop will be easily packed back on. It will be especially difficult with all the delicious food, drinks and humidity.

JaimeLe - It's made by Allure Exclusives Style 2306, but I ordered a replica from Monica Bridal because I wanted a corset closure and I didn't want to spend over $1000 on a dress that I haven't even seen or tried on. So now I'm getting two custom made dresses for under $200.

I love the ruffles. I personally prefer the first one. Â Here's the one I ordered today:

Jenn, Where did you get your dresses? And who made them?

Just ordered my dress from Monica Bridal. Now the tough part of waiting and hoping it turns out as requested. I also ordered a BM dress. I received a dhgate coupon for $15 off a purchase over $150, so I added the BM dress to bring me over the top. If it turns out, I will order the rest of the BM dresses too. I ordered the BM dress in orange. Â Here's pics of what I ordered: Â

Okay... I pulled the trigger on a dress. I have only seen pictures, but I'm feeling pretty confident. Â Here it is:

Jenn, Â The orange does look great. And it looks good on both skin tones of your BM's. I have two fairly tanned BM and my MoH is extremely pale, that was why I wanted orange.

jamieLe - I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I have been to at least eight different stores, which means I've tried on over 100 dresses. I've tried all different kinds of styles of dresses but nothing that I've liked. And certainly nothing "special." I've been shopping in all kinds of different stores in two provinces so far. Last time, I felt like crying because it's so upsetting not finding anything. I'm running out of options, and time. Â Congrats to everyone that has found a dress. The only thing I can figure is that I wasn't going to accept just anyone to spend my life with, so why should it be just any dress to start our life together?
