Hi! I live in St. Kitts (small Caribbean island). It is beautiful here...the only problem we had while taking the pics,was tourists kept taking our pics too ha. Hopefully I won't end up in someone's Vacation Album!
-
Thank ya'll! And yes, that was the biggest surprise of all, my mom loved it....pre-Christmas miracle? Ha!
-
AH that is SO something I would do! The first time I went dress shopping I didn't even look at prices, just pulled whatever I thought was pretty....talk about a shock when I looked at the prices! Did you end of getting the beach dress? I love Allure, they are absolutely beautiful!

Save the Dates are done! FI & I had a hard time finding a pic we liked, since in all of our pictures together either we are wearing sunglasses or holding a drink ha. So I decided to get a little crafty & use coconuts. That way we can also incorporate where we live now into our STD. I used Snapfish....super easy & got 60 w/envelopes for $30 including shipping. My bridesmaid made the stickers to go on the back of the envelopes, using our colors, & I love the way they turned out!

The chevron looks black in this pic, but it is navy blue, along with the writing

Well, I'm going to start off by saying, I was absolutely dreading going shopping for my wedding dress. I had many reasons for feeling this way...
1) I currently live out of the US, in a place where there is NO chance of finding a wedding dress. So I had to wait until I came home for Thanksgiving to shop for my dress. Since it's only 5 months until the big day, that pretty much limited my options to what was actually in the store that I could take home that day. No ordering. So I was not looking forward to seeing all the beautiful dresses that I had no chance of getting, since they were purchased only through ordering.
2) limited budget. Although my FI & I are paying for the actual wedding, my dad was determined to pay for the dress itself. But that also meant capping the spending to $700. Further limiting my choices.
3) My mom. Although I haven't lived at home for quite a while, my mom's opinion still matters to me. Unfortunately my mom is a hard-core conservative-don't show your boobs-strapless is of the devil- mom. Now I am not one to EVER change what I want to please someone else, but still, I wanted my mom to at least not-hate my dress. I knew if would be hard though.
To make a long- story short. First place. First dress I tried on. Absolute perfection. Everything I wanted....off the shoulders, simple, keyhole back, lightweight, elegant....blah blah blah I'm freakin in love with this dress. Best part, $600, no alterations needed, & my mom cried she loved it so much.
Now just gotta find some fabulous shoes;)

Okay so tonight I have spent all my time looking at everyone else's boards....and so the monster grows ha. Also, glad to see I am not the only one with a shirtless Ryan Gosling on my board. Hey, I'm not married yet;)

I thought I was addicted to Pinterest before we got engaged....little did I know, planning a wedding would turn me into a pinterest-monster! Seriously addicted. You can tell I started pinning as soon as we got engaged, because my wedding "theme" jumps from one extreme to another....but hey, there could be worse addictions, at least, that's what I keep telling myself;)
Here's my board:

It's official! FINALLY, after months & months of scouting out locations... changing cities, states, countries, and continents. Jumping around from option to option. We have finally confirmed our date & place & have put down our down payment. My FI surprised me with all the signed paperwork & a sweet note when I got home from work yesterday & we went out to dinner to celebrate. Such a weight lifted.

Contacted Noel & he gave us a variety of packages that we could choose from. I was really happy that a number of them fitted in our budget & he seems like he would be easy to work with. Going to meet with him next month & hoping he's the one!

Absolutely beautiful!

San Juan, PR/April 25, 2013! WHOOHOOO!
-
I love these! What a great idea!
-
Great job! When I saw the picture I had no idea it was DIY! Saving $55 is definitely worth a few burns in my book
-
LOVE THIS! Too bad half of my family is old-school southern baptists....they probably wouldn't be too thrilled with the booze part ha! Although, they should probably get ready, cause it's gonna be flowing at the wedding:)
-
Wow, what a great job! Love the theme & how everything goes so well together! The straws are super cute, your man did a great job:)

I like the Phillipa the best, but both are lovely. Do you have pics of yourself in either?

Great job! Where did you get the card holders?
