WOW!!! Your dress is SO pretty just on the hanger! That is Knock-em Dead Knock off! Could you post pics of them on you? I would love to see how it hangs! Where did you order from again?

Did anyone use their shoes as their something blue? I saw the most beautiful picture of a bride wearing these gorgeous strappy bright blue louboutins (Obviously out of MY price range) in a wedding magazine and fell in love with that idea! I will post if I find any blue ones that can compare...

I am so excited to pick mine out! This thread is great for looking for inspiration for a band with emeralds in it! Thanks ladies! Also, where did you girls that got rose gold settings go to get them? I wanted a rose gold setting/band and was told that that was out of style and very hard to get.

I am in the same boat! I don't like chocolate, so we may do vanilla/red velvet, and my colors for my wedding are silver/yellow/pink so trying to make a color conscious cake will be tricky!

Has anyone gotten/ given a gift to their FI and what do you give / what did you get? I know the traditional gift for your FI is a watch and I will post pics of what I am thinking of getting mine when I get a chance. I am kind of hoping he doesn't randomly say he decided not to do walk gifts either, because I have been leaving little post it notes on this sterling silver bracelet...

Thank you. I have to try on something similar on before I make up my mind completely, and that dress is only available to try on 4 hours away in Iowa. I am from Northern IN.

I am thinking something like these options. Sleeved, short, vintage-y looking options. What do you think?

I love the Zelda's lullaby, but I am not marching down the aisle in my heaving poufy dress to Hyrule Field! Haha I will see, maybe we can do both and I can walk really REALLY slow? Compromise, I suppose, is a good thing to start practicing.

All these cakes are so pretty!

I know its sooooo pretty. The FI just doesn't like Final Fantasy so I am trying to convince him its just a beautiful piece of music. He wants Zelda so badly though >.<

Well, I would like to walk down the aisle to a pretty harp piece, or classical piano, but at the same time, I went to a wedding recently where they played "Sea of Love" By Cat Power and "The Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel, which was lovely. My sister also said she has a piece from one of our favorite video games she would play ("To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X, Shown here gorgeous piece...) The problem is, my FI is possessed by the idea we will be marching down the aisle to the tune of Zelda's "Hyrule Field".

I am looking for a short dress to change into after my first dances with my FI. I would like it to have straps, but still be light and airy. Any suggestions on designers?

Omg This site is SO great! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I'd like to see some examples of Color palettes that other brides have chosen for their weddings. Please if you can show how you incorporated that color palette throughout your wedding (invites, centerpieces, bouquets, etc), and tell how easily or uneasily it was done to get your desired effect. I am a budget bride trying to do a silver/pink/yellow wedding and I have no idea how to do it so seeing others pulling off their color schemes I think will help.

Hello Ladies! I am a new member, and probably just as mean (If not meaner) as Miss PrettyPigPig. I am picky. Oh so very very picky. Which leads me to my problem. I. Hate. Strapless. Wedding. Gowns. I don't know where this unbridled fury for the strapless following comes from, but I wish all strapless dresses to be doused with gasoline and burned. Not that there is a problem if you choose one, I just think they are hideous. Personal taste is a funny thing I guess, because right now, my taste is leading me on an endless goose chase. Finding a dress with any semblence of sleeves for under 1500 is like trying to find a filet mignon in a vegan colony. After searching on google images after a disastrous fitting at David's ("You want what? That's so... Traditional! How about we give you a lace bolero for 150 more? No? We can make you cap sleeves for 450? Still No? Long sleeves you say? Well, then try on these strapless dresses we know you don't like while we convince you the price tag is worth it and you will wake up and love it and ride away on a unicorn." ) I fell in love with Justin Alexander's 9552 Signature Collection, shown here > http://www.peridress.com/catalog/Justin-Alexander-Wedding-Dress-Style-9552-p-35782.html < On Peridress. I do not want this dress FROM Peridress, they have not proved that they can do this amount of beading and lace work. My question is, where would the best place to get this as a knock-off, with a longer train be? I know I won't get that exact dress, and I am totally fine, but some of the lace samples I have seen have been abysmal. Anyone have a dress done in lace an have pics? Thank you! All my best wishes and bridal dreams -Court
