    Moonbride, I had ordered a Medium and it fit like a small. I wound up having to get rid of it because it was way too tight. I normally wear mediums, so I was pretty bummed.

    I honestly can't remember the website. I bought them offline from a seller in China though! Our new puppy has since decided that our aisle runner tasted pretty good, soooo it's back to the drawing board for me!

    I'm using WeddingWire and I absolutely love it. I have been able to add music and everything I need! It's still a work in progress, but I need to do some stuff to it tomorrow when I have the day off since our save the dates are getting sent out on Monday or Tuesday. This is ours Weddingwire.com/halseyandjosh

    So glad you got it taken care of! Vistaprint has always been great for me. My STD postcards and magnets just arrived today as well. I can't WAIT to see yours!

    YAY! Productive Sunday (well, it's my Sunday anyway, haha)! I got our save the dates in the mail today, I think I scared the hell out of the UPS guy when he handed me the box. I was SO excited! Also, I did all of the calligraphy on the envelopes! My best friend designed the actual post cards for me, and I did the magnets. A designer having someone else design her stuff, haha. But hey, it saved me time Our return address labels will be here on Monday, and then I get to mail all of them off next week. I definitely had one of those "OMG, I'm getting married!" moments allll day. SO excited! I was really happy when I thought I was all done with the calligraphy, but then we realized that FI forgot about 12 people off of the guest list. Thanks babe.

    Josh really isn't interested all that much in the details. He did pick the shades of blue portion of our wedding colors, and I added in the wedding colors. Wedding planning is DEFINITELY more of a girl's interest than guy's, haha.

    I absolutely LOVE the Sottero and Midgley! I don't blame you at all, I've been through a few gowns myself. What I would suggest is that you go back in and try on the Sottero and Midgley gown and see how you feel in it. Can you see yourself getting married in it? I had the same problem as you, and it's just due to my indecisive nature, personally. I never had that "AHA!" moment that so many brides get, but when I had the dress on I looked at myself on the stage in the salon under all of the lights, closed my eyes, and could really see myself walking down the aisle to my fiance. Last November, I had begun to pay off a Lazaro sample, changed my mind. I bought a Maggie for $1k at a sale, changed my mind again, and took FI's aunt and cousin with me the last time and that really made me feel good about my decision was having that reassurance. If you can't see that, then it may be worth it to try for another dress. If it comes to that, consider trying on some other styles, even if you think you don't want them. You never know what you really will wind up loving! I wanted a big, flowy ballgown and ended up with a fitted mermaid that is very simple. Good luck, girl! Keep us posted on what happens!

    Thank you ladies! I actually went and bought some actual paint to brush on versus the spray paint and I'm SO happy that I did! This is what it looks like now. Now I just need to add some flowers! It's not this bright, my Blackberry camera decided to act up. It's more like a light aqua.

    Our wedding is August 4, 2013 and I'm actually going to pick up my gown next Friday from the salon! It was a sample so I was just making payments on it, but I found her last month. I knew she was exactly what I needed! So it's definitely not too early.

    I voted for the 1-2k range. I originally was going to order a replica for $150 off of DHGate, but when I went to try on dresses (to see what I wanted to order) I wound up with a dress that was the polar opposite of what I wanted. It's a Paloma Blanca, and the original price was $3100, but I got a sample discount and am only paying $1152. I HIGHLY suggest asking if you can get the sample if it fits you at the salon. I'm also paying about $80 for alterations. My dress fits like a glove already! Love it!

    We aren't using a TA, personally. We're going to Puerto Vallarta for our honeymoon and needed a flight from Portland and wanted to do a package, obviously. I had about 4 TAs tell me that it wasn't possible to do 6 days and 5 nights with RT airfare and hotel for under $1500 (our budget). I opened up Orbitz and found a 4 star resort for $632 per person with hotel and air included. So much for that. So I will be planning it on my own!

    I have the total opposite problem of you (I wear a 34DD), but I also am adding cups to my dress. Its going to be a heck of a lot more comfortable than a bra, AND you don't need to worry about it moving around! I think my seamstress is charging an extra $20? I know they can add gel push up cups as well. Just ask.

    So since we're getting married on the beach, finding an aisle runner that prevented us from sinking into the sand was a challenge. However, I came across a girl's tutorial on WeddingBee and she had used beach mats to make hers! BRILLIANT! So, I ordered 7, 2.5x5ft beach mats and used hot glue to join them together. I found out there's these little multi-colored threads in the mats that I don't like, so I went and got some blue spray paint this morning. Yes, 35 ft of spray paint...my finger already hates me! So this is what I started with The ugly thread.... And here it is so far! While I was spray painting I noticed that it's VERY succeptible to wind. So I'm thinking maybe doing river rocks on the outside part? Or maybe some clear fishing weights underneath it. And then where the blue lines down the middle are now, I'm going to put fake rose petals.

    Granted we're not flying anywhere, we're driving 3 1/2 hours because flying to anywhere was out of budget, but we're actually spending around $700 after all is said and done. The ceremony space is free, the reception space is going to be $100 total. Our officiant is only $150, our cake is $75, and my best friend is a professional photographer and also a client of mine so I am trading her design work for our wedding photography. I'm giving her $150 for travel though. Adding in with hotel costs and the extras for paying for ingredients for our dessert buffet and the other little things, it's around $700
