I'm going to wear my wedding dress all day. I figure its the only day I'll be able to wear it so I might as well take advantage of it and wear it the entire time!

I love the spa idea!

Looks great! Thanks for sharing!

Great site, thanks!

what a great thread I think the biggest stressor for us was picking a resort, and still now we wonder "did we pick the right resort"

I'm not a post bride either, but this is something I looked into quite extensively when choosing a photographer for our wedding. We were on a tight budget and like you fell in love with a photographers work, but the cheapest package, which was still over budget was for only 3 hours. I did a lot of research and found that 3 hours is do able, but may feel rushed. My FSIL and FBIL got married in Mexico and they chose a package with only 3 hours of photography and they said it definately wasn't enough. They said the entire time taking their pictures they felt rushed, and the photographer was kind of rushing them through pictures. This being said, there photographs are beautiful, but they said thats one thing she really regrets, only having a photographer for 3 hours and feeling rushed. Maybe you can just purchase one more hour to still remain within budget and allow longer time, rather then going to a different package? For us photography was important and ultimately we chose a photographer with unlimited time with his packages, which im extremely happy we did as we won't feel rushed at all.

Welcome! A sand ceremony is where the bride and groom (and sometimes other people, such as moms, or children) each have a container of sand, usually different colors, and they pour them together into one container. The judge usually reads out something while its going on. Try searching on this site and you will find lots of peoples containers, and readings they used. As for my dress, I'm just going to put it in a bag, like the kind used for mens suits.

I'm planning on just wearing a veil for the ceremony and a few pictures and then taking if off and just having a flower in my hair. At first i didn't want a veil due to the wind, but then I though, would I regret not wearing one and I thought I might, plus when else do you get to wear a veil!

Congrats on finding the one!

I don't think they look as bad as you made it sound! We are planning on using the vistaprint business cards for our luggage tags, but I think we will just have a picture on the front and put all the information on the back.

They look great!

I have gotten a few free things from vistaprint, but each time I have to pay like $15-20 shipping costs, so really its not that free! And to get multiples, you have to make that many orders. So you have to place one order, go back into your email and do it all again, 25 times and pay shipping costs 25 times.

Great Website, thanks for sharing!

They look great!

I love this idea! Thanks for sharing!

I love watching people jump over the brooms! I think its a great tradition!

Welcome. Try doing a search for that resort and you should find some brides who have or will be getting married there.
