The bridesmaids dresses are from Donna Morgan. I bought them on their website when they were having a great sale. I'm actually going to sell them soon just want to get them dry cleaned if anyone is interested let me know. I'll be posting some decor and other wedding stuff for sale soon.

It's been a month since my wedding can't believe how fast time flies. I want to share some of my sneak peeks from Del Sol Photography and some of my TTD shoot from NAAL Photography. My review on the resort and all vendors will be up soon. Happy Planning everyone!!!

I used WeddingMix for my wedding last month and so far I'm happy I used it. A lot of family and friends participated and we have so many clips of the weekend. We did the app and 3 camera package so we handed out 1 camera to my sister, 1 friend and we kept one. Each person got different parts of the weekend events and wedding which was great. All together I think we have like 300 video clips and so many photos which is cool to look back on. Now I'm in the process of picking my favorite clips so that WeddingMix can make our one hour edited wedding weekend video. It was cool to have video from beginning to end from boarding the plane, going out at night, all wedding events and the honeymoon in one video. I also added some clips of my bachelorette party, diy projects and at home church ceremony. Once I finalize my video (its hard to pick the best clips, LoL) I'll upload it so you can see the final product. I did also get a professional videographer for the day of the wedding but WeddingMix helped me capture the whole weekend and wedding planning year. Hope this helped, if you have any questions I'm happy to help.

I had my appointment for 12pm for me (hair and makeup), 5 bridesmaids (just hair), mom (hair), grandma (hair) and MIL (hair) for a 4pm ceremony. Trust me this was not enough time. I used an outside hair and makeup vendor and 12 was the time they suggested but in hindsight I would have started much earlier. Me and my girls all have long hair and the hairstylists under estimated how much time it would take to finish everyone. I was very rushed at the end and literally just threw my dress on and it wasn't the feeling I wanted before the ceremony. It was also just too many people in the room asking too many questions and I felt very flustered. We also didn't get to get all the pics I wanted with my bridesmaids and mom or a minute to really just relax before the ceremony. So the earlier the better then you have time to really take it all in and not be running around. Other than the the craziness of hair and makeup the rest of the day was perfect!! Oh and I almost forgot the best part around 3:30 pm when my sister/bridesmaids hair was finally done and I was still getting my makeup finished her dress zipper broke as she was putting her dress on. My mom had to call up for sewing kits and literally sew her into the dress. With all the setbacks we started our ceremony around 4:15 so we were late which pushed everything else back. So add time for any mishaps because things will go wrong. lol At the time it wasn't that funny but now I can smile about it.

For our wedding the bridal party walked down to 1,000 years by the piano guys and I walked down to an instrumental version of Kissing You from Romeo and Juliet it was perfect. For the kiss and leaving the ceremony we did somewhere over the rainbow.

I travelled with 7 suitcases and my sister and mom each brought 1 full of decor for me. I checked in 4 bags, 1 full of OOT bags, 1 full of Decor and 2 with our clothes for the 2 weeks. For my carry on I had my dresses, husbands suits, shoes and any clothes you wouldn't want to be without that weekend just in case any luggage goes missing. My carry on also had all our jewelry and expensive electronics. It was funny trying to get through the airport just us 2 with 7 bags I recommend buying luggage straps so you can strapped them all together so while you are moving throughout the airport they all roll together.
