I had the idea to make mine into maybe a couple of throw pillows, or even back it and have a throw blanket for the end of the bed. cheesy...I'm sure. We just ordered it...and I have about a year until the wedding - so maybe I'll feel differently about it a year from now. Right now, I want to keep it.
sooo glad I can share my interest addiction with you guys! it's PERFECT for saving ideas, websites, pictures - everything - in one place without junking up my bookmarks.
We're in the same boat so to speak. First the FI was dead set on doing everything legal in Mexico. It took me a little while to convince him otherwise. He was the one worried that making it legal in the states and not Mexico would take away from "the big day". I finally convinced him that the cost + effort wasn't worth it, and the legal stuff here wouldn't be any different than going to get our marriage license if we were doing the ceremony here. We aren't telling anyone at this point that Mexico won't be the legal one, but that could change with so much time to go. Mexico will be the real deal, so in my mind the paperwork doesn't matter.
We are 5 years apart - I'm 37, he's 32. He has a baby face, and always gets carded..and I don't. I try to take it as a compliment rather than an insult (hey, I'm engaged to someone who might not be 21?!?). He's an old soul though, it works for us.
that was me too! I wear an 8 regular width, and ordered an 8 in the BM's. I think an 8 1/2 would have been too long for me, but the width would have worked better. So depends on what you're looking for. I don't remember ideeli's return policy (and it varies by item - so check on their site) - it may be returnable for ideeli credit only.
I've bought quite a few things from ideeli - great service, items ship when they say it will (usually within a week or two). Highly recommend! They also have several of the Badgley-Mischka shoes on this sale (that's where I got mine from!).
I have a whole bunch that I love - inspiration from other weddings. I really like a more photojournalistic style vs. posed portraits. I saved them via my pinterest board - feel free to browse and borrow!! http://pinterest.com/TxAllieGrl/wedding-photo-ideas/
Leslioni - I love, LOVE your dress!! that was what I originally had in mind for my dress. You look amazing! Imadore - wow, that is a very elegant and beautiful dress! I love the detail.
JMikla - soooo beautiful!!! I love your hair too Ashmagoo - I love your dress!!! Aciereta - you are rocking that dress! isn't it great to find a dress that is gorgeous and flattering?? soooo I found my dress today. It's Sophia Tolli - Xandra. here it is on the stick thin model
yes - I do find them rather narrow!! I have the Randall stilettos - I have pretty flat/wide feet and they are *almost* too narrow for me. I'll confess I have no intention of walking the aisle (or anywhere else!!) in them. They are just too high for me for keep on for any length of time, and I suck at walking in heels to begin with. But they will look smokin hot in a few pics! (I know - totally silly and frivolous splurge...I did get them on sale though - worth the $89!)
