We bought our suits from studiosuits.com and the shirts from islandimporter.com

Oh my goodness Taryn I absolutely loved your videos and you and your hubby look/looked amazing!

You hands DOWN look better than the model!!! Only a couple more weeks! I KNOW you're excited for the Mr. to see you in this FAB dress

Whew! My 30 day Asylum journey is complete!!! Took me a little longer than 30 days because of Thanksgiving and me falling into a rut...eh...but now I am back at it and ready to start P90X2...which came in the mail 2 days ago...so it's perfect timing I loved the Asylum so I might integrate some of those workouts into P90x2, unfortunately we leave in 63 days which means I am going to have to give it my all and just finish out the 90 days when I get back, even though my wedding will be done and over with I still am going to hang in there because I believe in finishing what i've started . How are the rest of you ladies doing with your workouts??? Still hanging in there sxct? I know you are trying to maintain until February.

Hey JessieH, Here are my tips: Get measured professionally first and foremost, dont try to do your measurements yourself. Shades of pale has GREAT communication, they were my backup to Jasmines, Jasmines email me constantly with questions to make sure they are creating my dress to my liking and when they can't do things according to the picture they let me know. Shades of Pale was great to work with too, and the fact that they have a FB page with their ACTUAL work is a plus !!! Make sure you know exaclty how you want your dress to look and communicate it clearly!!! I think you need to make a decision soon as they are on vacation in China for two weeks for the holidays in February so no work will be done during this time. I ordered my dress in October and it won't be shipped out until next week, so allow yourself time for the Chinese holiday and time for any alterations that will need to be done.

You look absolutely stunning

Im here with you Brenners! I have until 2/14 february and I need a partner in crime to keep me accountable as well

I PM'd you

Taryn, did hubby like his grooms gift?

I agree, the original the flower is so obtrusive, they made it elegant and classy

I did designer grade materials/premium grade craftsmanship, I would recommend Jasmines Bridal Shop to ANYone considering a replica...I LOVE what they did for me and there commincation is EXCELLENT!

Ok I am finally at work to post photos!!! Here is my inspiration dress Pnina 4066 They sent me these pics BEFORE they added the beading

OMG I finally got photos of my dress and I'm SOOOOOOOO glad I went with Jasmines Bridal!!! My reception gown looks AMAZING! I will post pictures when I get to work because the FI is trying so hard to take a peek at the photos! Lol... He's so cute

I fell off the wagon a little, not the best thing with only 74 days to go until W-day (my version of d-day). My dress fitting is at the end of this month, which means I have about 4 weeks to do as much as I can to be as close to the body that I will have on 14 February...that's a little daunting right there.... I worked out on Wednesday before Thanksgiving and then I didnt work out again until last Tuesday, I took 6 DAYS off from working out...booooo to me! I GOTTA keep my head in the game. So Im back on track and trying to stay focused for the next 10 weeks.

I have heard back from Jasmines Bridal...its been taking a really long time, but they told me I should expect photos by 12/15....that's cutting it REALLY close if it needs to be altered...

I am about 2 montsh away from my wedding...where did the time go???? I need to kick my butt into hyperdrive to lose these last 15 lbs and tighten it all up. I lost a little bit of my mojo thanks to Thanksgiving and all of the fattening foods, I took 6 days off from eating healthy AND working out. I have just been sitting there like a bump on a log allowing all the fat to settle back on my body . Back at it today, my heads back in the game...I have my dress fitting at the end of the month EEK! And my BD shoot in 6 weeks! Nows not the time to lose focus!

OMG!!! You TOTALLY live up to your name "SXC"T! LOL! I only have 75 days left to kick my own butt into gear! Gosh you two look AMAZING!!!

Wow!!! That's gorgeous and very similar to the one I purchased from the bridal store and 1/3 of the cost!

bump

COngrats Aliie! WHats your normal workout routine? I missed the gyn too, but the Asylum has made it worthwhile! Yay! I cant wait to hear your progress!

Alright ladies, I bought this dress waaaayyyyy too early, I tried it on again and I have lost so much weight it doesnt compliment me anymore. So if anyone is interested, I paid $900+ for it but am willing to let it go for $500. It's just sitting in the bridal shop, I also bought extra beading for the sash to make it sparkle more and will include it at no extra cost. This dress has not been altered, the bridal shop WILL clean it before shipping as a courtesy for the future buyer. Its gorgeous Italian satin. Jasmines bridal dresses run REALLY small, I bought my dress in a size 12 and at the time I was a size 8. I really hope I can make another bride happy with this purchase. PM if interested. Bride2012.

You CAN do it Allie , just keep "Digging Deeper"! It was like that with me too, but after the first week you realize how much you have in you to give! I know you can/will do it and you will look back at the end of the month and see how for you've come and how much your body has transformed
