Good job! Love that shade of blue. The "ribbon" (?) that you had around the boarding passes folder is a very nice touch! Thanks for sharing all the details!

How neat was that! Congrats!

Oh I love your wedding planner , adorable. Where did you get your tiara and your bracelet? They are soooooo pretty!

I never make a list when travelling but I hthink I should because I will forget so many things. This so helpful, appreciate that you posted this!

I am so sorry you have to go through this. It is hard not to feel disappointed no matter what. I know it's easier to say than to do but you should not feel guilty. It is your wedding and it is TOTALLY not selfish. I choose to do a Destination wedding because I could not bare having so many people telling me what to do and I know that in the end they would still be criticizing because you can't please everyone. I didn't want to have someone else's wedding. It was a hard decision because none of our parents could afford it. They were not very thrilled about it initially, especially my parents. I am working extra overtime to actually pay for their trips. My siblings were not thrilled about it either and I really thought they would not be present at all. I could not afford paying for their trips. In the end, my parents actually decided to pay for their own flights and they booked they flights before me!! My parents are getting excited about it (more than me to a certain point because I have been stressed out with the planning). My siblings booked their tickets before me too! I do feel a bit sad for my fiance, apart from his parents, none of his family will be there. Well maybe we will have some surprises. We won't have a honeymoon, if we do it will be much later. It's all right. We have our whole lifetime to go on vacations together. I was so stressed out before and felt so much better once we decided to have a destination wedding. I think that our family will have a great time together and am very excited to spend a whole week with them. I think they will love to have this vacation too since it is not something that they would ever do on their own. Sorry, I didn't mean to make this post so long, I just wanted to share. Hopefully this will be a bit helpful to hear. I really wish that everything will turn out fine for you. Hang in there. Everything will come together. No matter what, you will have a beautiful wedding because it is yours and it will be worth it!

It looks like they fit you so perfectly. It looks beautiful on your feet. The color actually looks nicer than from the websites. It's an awesome color. Just looking at the picture on the shoes only. The right (well my right) does look a bit bigger. However, it is not obvious at all from the pictures where you are wearing them. I don't think anyone will notice. If you " unfluff " the flowers, it would be fine. Can I say it again? The color is really really nice!!

It's a good start to know what you like because it can be quite overwhelming going into a bridal boutique. There are so many beautiful dresses. It's also good to keep an open mind and try some that you didn't think you would like. You might be very surprised. I wanted a mermaid shaped but ended up with an A line dress. Many people said it may be too much for the beach. I didn't listen and so glad I didn't. :-) I didn't believe it either when I hear other brides when they say "you would know it when it yours". You will! I tried some and almost compromisedo a dress thinking .. hum it's pretty but.. something was telling me it wasn't quite right. I doubted myself thinking maybe I was too bridezilla. Then I found it! My dress is very simple but the design fitted me beautifully (even if it was way oversized, the sample model sized I tried on). I felt really gorgeous in it. That's the funny thing. As so many has mentioned, trust you heart!!! It is YOUR wedding. You get to wear the dress for 1 day. It's your pick and that's the beauty of it. So many times in life we compromise for and let others decide for us. This your yours entirely. Hope you will have fun, it should be fun. :-)

This is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.
