I really like the vest idea above! I didn't even think about that!

@rudebaga - What a great review!!!! You are an amazingly gorgeous bride!!!

Are you planning on wearing the barefoot sandals all day? That is a cute idea! I think for the ceremony I will wear hills, but barefoot sandals maybe a good idea for the beach reception?!?!?!

Congrats RachelandChris2011!!!!! Can't wait to see more pictures!!!

@Proti007 - Congrats! That is awesome!!!

Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!

That's a sweet dea!

I already have four girls who are my bridesmaids and i have three more that I would really like to have. My FI also has several other friends he would really like to include too. Since we only have 35ish guest attending the DW, we didn't want the majority of the guest standing up under the gazebo. So we decided to invite them and include them in everything else the bridal party was doing. I think we are even going to get them the same gifts we get the bridal party.

@Sunstarsmoon - What was your final decision?

Congrats to those who have made it!!! Still working away!

Thanks for another idea!!!

I need to get on the ball with being more consistent with working out!!!

Thanks for the info. That would suck for stuff not to get there. Do you know if customs is as strict about what you can bring with you in your luggage? For example, I read somewhere you can mail food, but could I bring small packaged snacks for the OOT bags?

I finally figured out what the BD book is! That will absolutely be a nice way for him to "see you"! That is a cute idea!

I found some similar boxes to Angie1017. At the Dollar Tree, they had first aide kits that included the white box and first aide supples for $1. I purchased the individual packs of Mortin at Staples (50 packs for $12.50). After I already purchasd mine, I then found the Johnson & Johnson first aide kits at WalMart for $0.97.

For those who have already been married at Dreams, did you just pack thinks like OOT bags, centerpieces, wedding dress, etc, in your luggage? Or did you ship it ahead of time?

We are getting legally married before we go to Cancun too. We just want our parents and siblings there for the legal wedding. Our feeling is that our big day to always remember will be the DW. We want our families there for the legal wedding because it is the official unity of us but we know the DW will absolutely be a dream! For those who can't make it to Cancun, we are hoping to have a very informal reception when we get back and we can share the video with everyone because that ceremony will symbolize our love. At the end of the day, we have to remember that our wedding days are what we want and we can't always please everyone.

Great monogram! Perfect colors!

My colors are yellow and black. For my flowers, I was thinking of using sunflowers. What do you ladies think? What flowers did you choose?

There are some great dresses here! Thanks for sharing! My Mom hates shopping and trying on clothes even more so it has been a struggle to get her to go looking. I guess I better get a little more convincing!

#2 definitely!!!

I wanted to do black dresses with yellow flowers. Was it just the look of the flowers that they had that you didn't like and the combination of black and yellow?

Very creative!!!

I got all the same supplies, but now you inspired me to be creative! I love the label!!!

What a cool idea! I am definitely going to benefit from your ideas!
