  1. Thanks ladies! I'm hikacking my own thread. I posted the same question in the show us your rings thread. I didn't want to spam with more polls (as it seems I'm not very good at making decisions when it comes to these pretty type things). My E-ring is simple and kind of unique with rose gold and white gold (I picked). I knew we'd never be able to find a wedding band that would match, so we went to a place that does custom, and this is my favourite of what he came up with. The middle is my E-ring, then on each side is the thicker band. One is the wedding band, I say the other one is because I'm awesome. Now here's my question? Keep it with one little diamond in the corner, or have three little diamonds! I know a girl can never have to much sparkle, but I also don' t want to take away from the ring. Note that I copied and added more diamonds in Paint, so its not very professional looking. Any thoughts ladies?
  2. I went on Thursday, we just hit the 9 month mark on the 12th So I say, go shop now!! However I need your advice ladies! My E-ring is simple and kind of unique with rose gold and white gold (I picked). I knew we'd never be able to find a wedding band that would match, so we went to a place that does custom, and this is my favourite of what he came up with. The middle is my E-ring ( also in the first picture), then on each side is the thicker band. One is the wedding band, I say the other one is because I'm aweseome. Now here's my question?

  3. We're day twins! I'm Jan 12, 2012 at the Barcelo Maya Palace. Yay!
  4. We're getting legally married beforehand. Neither of my MoH's live in the same place as me, so it will end up being another friend or a random person. If you were legally getting married in Mexico then it could be an issue.
  5. I did see those ones on House of Brides Amy! Thanks. Unfortunately mine was a 2011 dress, and those were 2010. However, the sposa groups france (I think?) page was still working. So I did manage to find it! Here's my dress!
  6. I'd love to hear the answers to questions like this! Also, you're getting married the same day as Kate and William. In Canada its on the news every darn night, its no engrained in my head. Hopefully you get some answers and yay to the people up right away! I just hit the T- minus 9 months mark.
  7. The overlay looks so neat Kim, that'll be beautiful in your ceremony pictures I bet! So dramatic! Thanks ladies, I adore it! I keep peeking in the closet to look at it.
  8. The Typical terrible lighting and angle (and kerfluffed hair from trying on to many poofy dresses ) , but I was so excited to be able to post on here I can't wait for a different pictures! I got my dress today! My dress needs to be taken in a bit on the sides, so it will fit a little snugger but otherwise is amazing. Luckily it was the sample (apparently this line is discontinued, the designer went backrupt? So they had just gotten the shipment of samples in, and had to sell them cheap since they couldn't order any of the dresses in. Lucky me! It's "Just For You" from the Sposa Group Style 115-15.
  9. I voted for this dress on your other poll I'd say, if you love it - go for it!
  10. Thanks so much for your input ladies, The top dress is now hanging in my closet! I really appreciate the advice. Yay!
  11. Thanks! Me too, they're so fun! Initially I loved the second one, but I wasn't sold on the top. Then I found the first one (and third). I love the skirt on the third but the top material just wasn't as flattering I don't think. As a bonus, the top dress is discontinued (and thusly 40% off). I found that out after I fell in love with it, and it made me love it even more. Haha.
  12. I'm wearing a white hair flower from Kristi Bonnici, an Australian designer. I was lucky enough to win it! http://www.onewhitedress.net/style-centre/and-the-beautiful-bride-is/ This is the one I'm getting http://kristibonnici.com.au/index.php?/milinery/the-look-of-love-camelia-haircomb-/ Yay! My only issue is, I ordered it in white - I think I'm changing the dress i'm going to buy and it is Ivory. Think anyone will notice? I was thinking maying I could add some colour into the headpiece somehow - or my friend suggested getting some ivory organza and throwing in a few accent petals. One white dress- I know they have a few other contests running (5000 likes on FB to be entered for a $500 draw and a photo keepsake gift) if anyone is interested. I'm so excited, I can't wait to get it!
  13. I'm having the same problem, the dress I love is "Just 4 You" dress and the designer has closed shop and the factory. I can't find photos for them anywhere! I really wanted to play the You vs the Model thread =(
  14. I just hit up store #4, and I probably tried on 15 dresses at each place. I wanted a flowy chiffon destination dress, but they really don't flatter my figure. I ended up changing my mind on what styles I like, which made the last stop a lot easier and more precise. I also tried on some giant ballgowns for pure amusement purposes.
  15. Please forgive the typical terrible photos (2nd one from a camera phone). I'd love some advice, I've obviously narrowed down the style I like, but which one! They are posted in my favourite order (I think!). I hate how you know what you don't like, but the line is a lot more fuzzy when it comes to what you do like. Any help is appreciated!! Dress one Dress Two The picture is terrible, its actually this dress Dress Three
  16. I think I'm going the two MoH route too. My sister and my best friend.

  18. I used a standard envelope (I think they were actually Christmas envelopes from Michael's in an shimmery white heavy paper), that were on sale for like $2 for a package of 25. I don't recall the exact dimensions, but typical business envelopes which (as someone above said) you would send a 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper folder in 3 in. As for perforation, I searched everywhere and could not find one. Apparently Winnipeg has a shortage of perforations. I had my RSVP on my website though, so I didn't think it was nessecary and just had the dashed line. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/67394/my-first-step-into-the-world-of-craftiness-boarding-pass-invitations are mine
  19. Hey Ladies! As of Right now, we are at page 286 of the "Post all Knock Off Wedding Dress Questions" thread. I've spent hours reading it, and haven't really gotten anywhere. I'd love if people could do a quick vote, and let us know which place you would recommend, to summarize all of the information in the big thread. If I missed one, please feel free to add it at the bottom. If you have comments/questions etc, please go see the original thread http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/36700/post-all-knock-off-wedding-dress-questions-comments-here Thanks!
  20. I had the same problem last time we were in Mexico, and I have some for my OOT bags I bought some from myweddingfavours.com http://www.myweddingfavors.com/shell-opener.html They have some other ones (flip flops etc). I just got these in and they're really cute, as a bonus they come in a nice little box and a tag that says thanks. "Arrives complete in a classy gift box with showcase top and raffia cinch. "Thank you for sharing this day"" I think I ordered to many, I don't know how many you'll need or when your wedding is, but I might have extra! I won't know until likely October/Novemberish.
  21. Did you find it a lot less expensive to order it that way Mocha? Some of these sites have $150.00 for bouquet, is that right? Seems expensive for flowers! Lol.
