Hi there.... We get to the resort on July 1st....our paths may cross! Good Luck on your big day!

Hi everyone.... It is 27 days from our big day and I feel like we have tons to do.... Can anyone tell me how many songs to prepare for our playlist? We are only renting the system for the ceremony.... GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR....it agitates me that it cost so much for 30 dern minutes! Thanks JQ

Thank you! I love my gown. At first I was having a little dress regret because I ordered it so early, it was at my MOH house, and I had a few extra piunds when it first came in. I am totally in love with the dress now. I cannot wait to post pics from my next fitting!

Awww. Thanks so much! I actually used jasminesbirdal.com. I went with the premium grade (because the dress is "simple" I opted to not upgrade to designer). I think with the shipping it came to about $285 total. My alterations will run me about $180. The process did not take long at all. I began my research last February, put my deposit down in March and I had the dress before the end of April. The communication with them was wonderful. I go for my second fitting this Saturday! So excited!!!! I'll post pictures! Let me know if you have any other questions... JQ

Very nice!!!!

You were a gorgeous bride!!! Your wedding looked lovely.

You were a beautiful bride!!! Lovely pictures. It looks like you have a wonderful time.

No. She has a website.... www.sabelladesigns.com Check her out...she is awesome!

My floral designer has sent me pictures of the hair fascinators... I hope you like them!!! I should receive all the flowers shortly.... The yellow is for my MOH & bridesmaid. The turquoise one is for my mom and the white is of course for the bride... me of course!

This is amazing....love your colors! Have a wonderful wedding and be sure to tell us all about it!

This is an awesome idea! Great job!

As we are 45 days away from our departure and 48 days from the wedding, I wanted to send my guests important travel info (most of which they may know) but just as a reminder of what to expect. I “borrowed†many ideas from other brides and I am pleased with the result. I used a template from Word…(searched online). Let me know what you think! Jaquanda and Jabahri Newsletter.pdf

Hi there.. I am actually wearing an ivory dress too. I think I will get a french manicure and I think it will look fine with the dress. Trust me....No one will comment as you walk down the aisle "shhh...look at her white tip nails with her ivory dress!" LOL! I think the french manicure is a clean look....but I am looking for a fruit punchy pink for my toes! Good luck!!!! You are down to the wire!

I asked my resort and was advised I can exchange the flowers for cake flowers or flowers on the alter.

Here is the dress that my MOH & bridesmaid are wearing.... I believe it is Bill Levonkoff (sp?)... Her and my daughter (my 1 bridesmaid) are wearing the same dress....

It's 50 days from today until the BIG DAY!!!! (48 until we leave!!!) I am so excted. It is so hard to beleive how fast the time is flying! Everytime I cross something off of my to do list, I add another! Gues it will be this way until I arrive at the airport! We are almost there ladies! Good Luck! JQ

Great! She is truly a pleasure to work with. She keeps you involved throughout the entire process. Let me know how it turns out for you.

I got a cool Mother’s Day gift…..My wonderful “real touch/silk) flower designer Kim (of Sabella Designs) sent me a picture of my bouquet!!! She also sent pictures of the corsages! It is amazing to see your vision start to come together. In a few weeks, I will begin my planning thread!!! Yippee!!! Hope you like!

Thank you ladies! I felt beautiful! I have to say I did go through a bit of DR (dress regret...) after ordering it. Nothing to do with the style really...just I purchased it a year ago and had not seen it in person until this past Saturday. Also....I have lost weight & inches so the dress fit differently than it did in the beginning. The best advise I can give anyone ordering a "knock off" dress is to overestimate in regards to length and get the dress at the weight you are at the time of your measurements. They can always take the dress in (letting out is more difficult). And always, always....get a great seamstress! Ladies....have faith in your dress purchases online....I am thankful for finding this site and thread because I am truly astounded by my dress! I'll post pictures after my 2nd fitting! JQ

Thanks Shan0487! I have always been a bargain hunter....but never did I expect this!

Thanks everybody!! She loves it too! Makes me so happy!!!!

We were lucky!!!! And....we found a bargain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We went to an outlet mall today and went to a few stores without any success.....until we went to the Lord & Taylor outlet.... The color was perfect...the fit was perfect and the price......made my jaw drop... We found this dress at the Lord & Taylor Outlet.... Orig. Price $278... Marked Down $138...(we were excited about this....) But she paid....$39.99!!!! I was AMAZED!!!

Awwwwwwrite now!!!! Mommy is going to look FIERCE!!!! Love it!

I love this color too! I love yellow!

This is a pretty dress! Love the color!
