Your hair looks beautiful! So elegant

Well said- nothing about a wedding ever goes perfect! I can totally see why you are stressed, but I say once you get down to Mexico try to forget all about it because you will be in paradise; it will be time to focus on you and to enjoy being center of attention; everyone else is responsible enough to sort themselves out! You have a positive attitude, so I'm positive it will all turn out fab!!!

Welcome to the most amazing forum for us DW brides! Best of luck and have tons of fun with your planning

I know you're not done your thread, but I had to comment already! I love the pictures you posted of your early dating years and now, so adorable! And the proposal is the ultimate in romantic ideas Congratulations!!!

Well you've inspired me to get my butt in gear after I write this crazy expensive super irrelevant exam today and tomorrow (yes, I should be probably cramming last minute info in right now, but my brain is fried!). I'm a chronic student as well- I'm in my 10th year of university education If you're ever around the UAH or RAH stop in to say hi!

Nice idea- haven't seen that before! I will have to check out Martha Stewart weddings online- oh how I wish I could get her to plan my wedding

Great job Amanda! Did you use photoshop? I vote using a combination of two (#1 and #4) for your various stationary/gifts!

Nicely done! I especially like what you've done with your frame table numbers. I can't believe that you're not getting married until January- you've done so much already!!!

Nicely done and super cute!!! Where did you get your bags from?

When I saw your top view, I immediately thought, what a gorgeous tropical colour combination! Oh and I love your crystal starfish detail as well I agree with you though, that something is off about the trailing orchids; first off I would recommend maybe making the trailing orchids less sparse and maybe in 1 or 2 areas of the bouquet as in your sample picture; also, I think the orchids should be in the colour of either your deep orange (don't know if orchids even exist in that colour) or in the deep fuschia of your other flowers. Your wedding is so close...you must be so excited...and a little stressed? Good luck

Gorgeous dress!!! I especially love the ruffles at the bottom

So cute! Another purchase I'm excited to make

Have an amazing time!!! Sending you best wishes for an absolutely spectacular wedding day!

elissae that is super exciting!!!! Congrats!!! I remember how happy I was when I finally booked Let us know how planning goes. And thanks a million for voting- it means so much!

Sometimes I feel like I've made good progress, and other times I'm beyond stressed that there's so much to do so I've not yet done enough. I've got my ceremony and reception locations booked with deposits down. Website made and STDs out. Photographer booked. I know what I want for centerpieces, but it's a work in progress. That's about it... A huge stressor for me right now is actually my guests. On my STDs, I wrote the link to our website on which clearly states that if you want to go with the negotiated group rate, you must put down a $350 deposit by May 12 (actually it's June 6, but I know how people leave things last minute!); unfortunately, it's the majority of my friends who seem to have completely glossed over the fact that there's a website, which I keep stressing contains time-sensitive information. Argh! Oh well, I guess I can't stress myself over whether everyone else can get themselves organized or not...

Melissa, your planning thread is fabulous!!! I love all of your stationary! Quick question for you- my understanding that DJ Dorremix is $300/hr? Did you also have to pay the $800 outside vendor fee?

Dori, thank you so much for voting!!! It really means a lot You can vote once per day! The support I've gotten from this forum is going to make me cry What country are you from?

Oh no, now I'm going to cry because you started crying! Haha, Chris was so anti me making that video- he hates people seeing him being mushy; it was like pulling teeth to film him in that one segment, but I love him for it. Thanks for trying to vote soon CB! It really means a lot to me! If you tried to register using a hotmail or shaw email address apparently they've been having problems and working on fixing it. Fingers crossed

Everything about your wedding is gorgeous! Congratulations!!! Clearly a lot of hard work & love went into pulling it all off

I love the shade of pink you chose! So tropical
