Thank you!! No, it's ivory but in a "romantic satin" so it has that sheen texture. I was going to stay away from satin, but this material is actually quite light.

This is my dress!! It's a Maggie Sottero - Adara. Not exactly what I thought I would get BEFORE I started trying on dresses,,, but I knew before I stepped out of the dressing room that this was MY dress. Love it!!

I'm a ways away from 150... My wedding is a little over a year away, and I've already received so many complaints or requestsm or demands.... it's pretty ridiculous. I'm pretty sure it's my wedding... "No" is getting easier and easier to say.

I've picked my dress, but I still have to go in for measurements and put on a down payment. I plan on going in November, and I get married in November 2013. So, I'll have about a year... but they are telling me to give my dress 8 months to arrive.... So, as long as I do go by January, I'm in clear waters.

Hi Dena! I had to reply as I'm getting married at the Gran Bahia Principe in Jamaica on November 15th, 2013!! So I guess we'll see you there!! I'm also new to the site, but I've been frequenting it since we decided on a destination wedding. I've only had a few email exchanges with the resort, to confirm my date and package and th details I currently have (like where on the resort, etc)... Other than the fact that they initially booked my wedding for the 19th (we leave Jamaica on the 16th!!) I haven't had many issues with getting answers back. Usually within a day or two. We also booked our trip through a travel agent, and have 10 booked, but very possibly 30-40 coming (those are the yes's we've unofficially received.) I'm very excited. I picked my dress last Thursday, so it's all becoming REAL now!

Hello! I'm in the early process of all my planning, but I've also started on my OOT bags. I'm also making about 20 bags! So far, my best find was my tumblers from Dollarama. Clear double walled platic with screw top lid and the straw that doesn't fall out.... $2 ea. My mom bought the exact same cup from a Shoppers for $8. It might be only $6, but I'm giving everyone (2 cups per bag) a cup. It adds up so fast! I'm still working on my logo, but I will be getting vinyl stickers to put on the cups. My MIL works in a medical office, so I'm relying on her to get my tylenol samples and tums. I also bought some mini first-aid kits from Dollarama for $1.25 and Sudoku & Crossword books from Doller Tree for $1.25. Haven't figured out where to get my canvas totes yet. :S
