Beautiful Invites!

It took me approx. 3 - 4 hours for the cake topper. I actually did it in a few mini sessions while I watched a movie or something so it didn't feel so bad. Crafty Eddie doesn't have a website perse but you can email him at [email protected] and he will then send you a link to a photo gallery of his work and ordering info. thanks Dominque! I love working on the DIY projects... I have more I am hoping to post soon

Thanks soooo much for the compliments! I truly appreciate it

The actual wood letter was about $14. I ordered it from craftyeddie and was able to pick the size and font I wanted. It's hard to give an exact estimate since I ordered sooo many crystals for various projects but I'd say roughly around $35. It's a little on the higher end since they were swarovski's... but I wanted them to be sparkly and last because I want to cut the "pick' off at the bottom after the wedding and will be making a shadow box and putting the letter in it. If the sparkly factor doesn't matter, non-swarovski crystals can be used, but I feel that they get dull with the glue over time.

I wanted to share the cake topper that I made. I'm very happy with the way it came out. I really wasn't able to get a really good picture of the sparkle, but I used all swarovski crystals on it and it sparkles like crazy! I also made straw flags to use on stripped paper straws. These straws will be used in the welcome drinks that will be passed out when our guests arrive to the ceremony venue. Thanks for letting me share! If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you MrsG! I am actually working on starting something up after the wedding... I'm sooo busy right now with the wedding that I have no time. I just hope it takes off. And I did mail my RSVPs with a stamped envelope. Now if people would only return them...lol Mzthan6 - I used Burgess Script for the actual invite

SUPER CUTE!

Did you sell the diamond ribbon wrap? If you have, do you mind me asking where you bought it?

Elissae and Miss Bubbles...THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!! I goo through moments of dress doubt but when I get compliments like this it makes me feel soo much more confident that I made a good choice.

Thank you everyone for your great comments! The template I used from Aylee's was the plain free one...Actually I deleted almost everything but the outline and the barcode. The rest of the Design I did myself in photoshop.

Do you have the black ona white one? I didn't see that posted? I'd love a copy of that one...

These are AMAZING! I LOVE LOVE LOVE The booklet/package that had all the info and lanyards in it.... I may need to borrow that Idea! These are great I know your guests will Love them!

Thanks Ladies!!! It really is a hard decision... From the beginning I knew I was going to have colored heels for my wedding, BUT I fell in love with the "classy-ness" of the white ones.... I'm leaning towards the white ones and wearing the pink ones with my reception dress which is also white and if I get the one I want it will have feathers on it too... Now to decide if I hem my dress to my sandals, and only use the shoes for pics or hem it to my heels and struggle when walking in sand... Oh the joys of wanting beachy and traditional!...lol...I'm at such a loss

Pastor York only does a symbolic ceremony. He doesn't do legal ceremonies. That needs to be done by a judge.

Somehow I ended up with 3 pairs of shoes for my wedding and can't decide which ones to wear or how to incorporate shoe changes...lol... I tried on all three pairs with my dress today... Opinions?

I was able to try my dress on today for the first time since it came in...and it fit almost perfectly... Like other brides, there were a few times that I doubted my dress choice, but when I saw it today and put it on, I fell in love all over again... Here is my dress

From what I understand is that the 3 -4 minute clips that we see on the web are called trailers. some packages include it and some don't. According to him a trailer can be added on to any package...I think he said the cost was $200 or 250. I'd need to go back and check my email. Otherwise, I believe your 40 - 60 minute video is an edited "real-time" video. So probably a little smoother flowing an longer sections but obviously not 100% realtime because then we would get and 8 hour video. I ended up booking him for a package that didn't include the trailer, but he said we can add it on if we decided we wanted it. I'm pretty sure we will add a trailer because I really want to be able to send a link to that to family and friends that couldn't attend. I just didn't want to commit to it upfront.

I have Cores Films too! It was between Diego and Florian from Video Punta Cana.... but there was something about Diego's past videos that I really liked

I too am working on putting together a vintage glam beach wedding.... Somethings I'm doing... My Bridesmaids will carry parasols instead of flowers. they will have mango colored ones and I will have a fuschia one (for pics only). Like this: I think my dress has a vintage feel (the same dress was actually featured in a style me pretty vintage glam styled shoot )...I am going with a birdcage veil and a feather hairpiece. this is my dress: I am doing paper straws with flags to be used in the welcome drinks: Like these but in my colors: Although I would love to have mason jars to serve drings from, it's just not feasible when having a reception in Punta Cana, DR.. But I'm going to try and bring a few to make centerpieces like these: I will have a puzzle piece guest book (like this one:)...I feel like it has a vintage vibe. I am going to make a Flag banner for our sweet table like this one: I will do vintage framed table numbers.... The numbers will be made with swarovski crystals. - A combo of these: I am planning on doing Rock Candy escort cards: I bought these vintage forks for when we cut the cake: I am planning on designing our Menu's similar to these: I'm working on a few more ideas...but this is a start. I'd love to hear what ideas you or other have

Thanks so much! I ordered the first one

I was wondering about this as well... I was actually going to just forego the getting ready portion and have my videographer meet me at the Jellyfish. Who do you have as your videographer?

Congrats on your wedding! I can't wait to read your review, but based on this it sounds like everything was GREAT and sounds wonderful... I hope you don't mind a few questions...Did you do a meal package or a la carte? How many guests did you have? Do you have any pictures that you are willing to share? Thanks!

So it is $15 per kid... this is what Mayte told me: Kids menu: spaghetti pomodoro+ french fries+ chiken fingers 15 us, kids no pay drinks

There is a kids menu... so no they don't charge full price. I will post that info in a bit I need to look it up. I want to say it's like $15 per child

This dress looks beautiful on you!!!! Congrats on finding the one
