Thanks for all the advice ladies, I'll have to make a trip to the city to look for FI attire!

Hey Ladies, I was wondering if anyone received pictures of bouquet or centrepiece options from the WC? If so could you email it to me? I thought I would ask here before trying to contact Jacki as I know she is so busy! [email protected]

Love it, thanks for posting this!

Oh thank you so much for posting your pics, you look amazing, I love your dress, it's so elegant and your family is beautiful I am going to add you to FB if that's ok as I would love to see reception pics as I'm not sure what I want to do. My name is Allison.

Brenners, Most people probably wouldn't have the energy or motivation to hit the gym after a 10-12 hour day! At least it sounds like your sticking to a good eating plan, and that's more than half the battle!!! Good work Jamie with INSANITY, the results are sooooooo worth it! Sharon, I would love to hear about your results after the Brazilian butt lift workouts, that is totally something I may want to try as my butt is my most stubborn area!

I have purchased my bridesmaids dresses as I only have 3. I have also purchased handcrafted turquoise and silver (not real!) bracelets off of etsy for each girl, I just got them today and I LOVE them. My BM's dresses are black and one of my colours is turquoise, which is why I really wanted turquoise jewelry. I personally like the bracelets because they are handmade and unique, so I think my BM's will love them Congrats Becs75, sounds like you wedding was amazing and that you and your guests had a blast! It's so reassuring to hear that Jacki is amazing and that they work really hard to make our weddings special. Maybe you'll share some pics with us? I would love to see your reception set-up

Love all the centrepieces, keep the ideas coming ladies! I change my mind everyday as to what I want, but I have seen some great stuff on here

Hit the gym 6/12 days of 2012 so far! Hopefully I can keep it up, how is everyone else doing?!

Hey Jamie, seriously do not pay attention to the scales! I did insanity in the fall and my final weight was exactly the same as my starting weight!!! I was so upset at first, but then I realized that I packed on so much muscle, and my abs where showing again yay! In all honesty it was almost too much muscle, as I couldn't even wear some of my skinny jeans because they were too tight on my calves. I am now just doing mostly cardio as I want to lean out again. I guarantee that if you stick with it you will notice a decrease in body fat, look more toned and feel amazing! Goodluck

Very helpful information ladies, thanks for all the tips (haha)!

Loved your pictures Jamie! You looked amazing and you and your husband look so happy! Congrats and welcome home

Hi! Welcome and congrats on booking your wedding at DPA! We went through a local travel agent who offered us a group deal which was about $200 less than any other price I've seen online. We also got our complete trip (for both of us) for free for booking more than 10 people. However, it seems like Americans get much better travel deals than Canadians flying to Mexico. My sister lives in Colorado, and it is was way cheaper for her to book her hotel room through the DPA website and her flight separately. Maybe contact a local travel agent and see what they can do for you, and compare it to the prices you are finding on DPA website. Goodluck!

Hey Ladies, FYI there is a Badgley Mischka sale on right now on Beyond the Rack, but I think it ends tomorrow

Brendee2005, I love your luminaries!!! What are they made out of and how did you make them? Are you using LED candles to light them?

Wow 70 people! Good for you for being brave enough to take down enough stuff for that many people. I think your idea of greeting your guests as they arrive at the resort with OOT bags is great, what a nice welcome that will be

Patiently trying to make it to 150 posts, but it's good to know that I may not be able to open templates right away!

Hi there, You can make them yourself! It's really easy, all you need is card stock and velum paper. Here is a link with directions. http://www.projectwedding.com/wedding-ideas/lantern-menus

Hey Jamie, My parents are not contributing any money towards our wedding, BUT my mother is hand making beach bags to use as our OOT bags and they are so beautiful and time consuming on her part! So I definitely want to give her a 'thank you' gift. I found a really nice handcrafted jewellery set that will match her dress nicely that is around $50, so I plan on giving that to her. My FI parents are insisting on giving us money towards the wedding even though I told my FI I didn't want them to. I will probably also buy his mom a jewellery set as she doesn't have a daughter, so I know this would mean a lot to her As for the 'dads' we probably won't get them anything. I honestly think you shouldn't have to buy a gift for anyone, but if someone has done something special then maybe you would want to get them a little thank you gift.

Wow Janet, thank you so much for posting the pics, everything looks so beautiful and has definitely given me some inspiration. You're right your flowers look soooooooo real, they're gorgeous. I never thought about real touch flowers, but I may have to look into it. Thanks!

Hey Janet, My colours are fuchsia and turquoise (kind of like aqua blue). What did you guys do for reception centrepieces, and for your bouquet/BM bouquets? I really want real flowers, nothing fake, but I have yet to see any nice ideas involving fuchsia/turquoise. Do you have any pics of your flowers?

So beautiful!!!! I love how the yellow is contrasted with the halo!

Hey JBandDJ, Everything sounds great, but I just wanted to point out one thing. I don't know where you are getting married but there was a bride on here that tried to bring beef jerk in her OOT bags, and it was confiscated going through Mexican customs, as it is an animal product! Just thought I would mention that, you might want to look into it so you don't loose all your jerky!!!

Hey, I also thought about doing that with the fake flowers submerged in vases with floating candles, but my only concern is that real candles won't work due to the wind! Are you having your reception outside? We definitely are, and I have heard that it can be very windy there so there is no point in having candles/tea lights. I am likely going to bring down LED candles. But your idea sounds great, and what an amazing price!

Awesome job on the OOT bags! I love your colour combination.

I can't wait until I have 150 posts so that I can open these templates!!!
