@@TinkerSofi Surprisingly I can do make-up on other people just fine but not on myself...lol!! although all my BM's are great at doing their own make up so I don't think that will be a problem. If the prices are too high for the girls to get hair done then I'm going to ask my friend who's doing my hair to everyone's in exchange for me paying for her to get done at the spa if she wants...she's a BM too. We'll see I Guess

@@vancouverpetunia Woohoo another planning thread to follow! I love seeing other peoples ideas. The story how you met is so cute! Most people won't book til the last day...and sometimes you will get just a handful more who book after that so don't worry. Cant wait to see some of your ideas

Wow! your pictures are fantastic!

Awesome! Thanks! I will give it a try... My FI is such a picky eater Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@calgarybride2015 Yeah when I was a BM in my friends wedding in Vegas I was so stressed about all the money...We all HAD to stay at the Bellagio and get our Hair and make up done at the spa there...it was CRAZY expensive! I don't want to put that pressure on anyone. @@TinkerSofi Thanks for the link I will look it up anyway maybe there are others on there that will be suitable.

@@veryvalentine Yeah I'm with @@calgarybride2015 no matter how hard I try I could never pull that off! so Jealous! I will be sending no rain thoughts your way when your day comes

@@calgarybride2015 I guess I just feel so guilty that everyone is paying so much to go to the wedding I'm trying to limit any cost of being a bridesmaid...Being a bridesmaid can be super expensive...I'm buying their Shoes and jewellery...but there is still the dress and hair and makeup That's a good idea to pay part of the dress...thanks!

@veryvalentine 10lbs in one week!! Please tell me your secret!! What are you doing? $200 Price Drop too! It's all coming up roses for you this week!! That is so AWESOME! I wanted to do sparklers...but I don't think my resort will allow them...I'm going to have to double check that....doing your first dance with sparklers would be such a pretty photo opt....just a thought...make sure there is something for your guests to light them with...

@@TinkerSofi Thanks! Yeah the theme is total randomness..haha...I guess we will see how it all ends up once I have it put together! Those flowers are so real looking it's crazy! You should definitely use them in your house. AC is definitely a pain in my ass! But I'm trying to be patient...I just keep telling myself that it's their busy season and it'll be better once May or June rolls around. As for the headband I was thinking of changing it to ribbon to make it a little more dressy and because those darn elastic things never stay on my weird shaped head...they always slip off and I lose them. Where did you get your bridesmaid dresses? @@calgarybride2015 Thanks for the suggestions...I'm going to have to do some window shopping around town this weekend....I've mostly been looking online because my girls were going to buy their own dress and they are all over the place...one of them is a place so remote the nearest McD's is 5 hrs drive! Maybe I will have to get them.

I will ask my friend...I guess she will have a better idea! I hoping they go down in price by the end of june at the lastest. I've seen the henkaa ones but not the daintyard ones so I will look at those thanks!

hahah! Glad I'm not the only one who gives bad hair cuts! @@deecol Thanks! I thought that hair style was really cute with the braid..I like the Messy / Dressy look of it. Bridesmaids I have 4 Bridesmaids....no Maid of Honor, me and FI agreed not to choose a MOH or BM because none of bridal party live close to us currently and each of them are special for different reasons . My Girls are my closest friends, 2 I have known since birth, 1 since grade 7, and the other since university...they are sisters that I never had... I decided I wanted the bridesmaids to wear bright blue and I picked a dress out at David’s Bridal last June...but since then it has gone up in price from 130 to 180! Boo...I’m thinking that once the summer wedding rush is over the price may drop again...but I’m on the search for an alternative just in case....any suggestions...it has to have straps....my girls are chesty...lol...strapless just will not do! For their Flowers I wanted to do something like this: I found these at Micheals and I’m going to tie an ivory ribbon around it with a big floppy bow. I think I need to cut them to make them shorter too. They look and feel real That's it for my updates today

I know what you mean!! it seems like the answers never come fast enough...I've learned to just let it go...hindsight is always 20/20

Hair / Make Up Lucky for me one of my best friends and Bridesmaid is a Hair dresser and she has offered to do my hair! We have been friend since 0 and I cut her hair once when we were 10...not good, not good at all!!...let’s hope she doesn’t take this as her moment to exact her revenge...lol. I have decided to have my hair up...I get too hot with my hair down...here’s my inspiration: I also want to do a small gold head band like this: I bought this one at aldo and I’m was thinking of taking off the elastic and adding ribbon instead...any opinions? For Make-up....I’m going to do it myself I think...well that’s the plan! I don’t normally wear make up so when I’ve had my makeup done in the past for friends weddings its always been WAY TOO MUCH and I don’t look like me at all! I’ve made an apt with Sephora for a 90 min makeup consult...hopefully they can teach me what I need to know..eek...I just want something simple, beachy and natural...I am however going to get eyelash extentions J. I like the Blake Lively picture above for makeup and this one below too.

@@veryvalentine Thanks! I went in to her office and got it all sorted...sort of...the rep from AC is on vacay so we are waiting for her to get back to us... Organizing the travel seems to be the most stressful part of my wedding planning! Ugh! Seems like there aren't many TA's who are totally on the ball with returning emails and phone calls...I really don't get it...you think customer service would be the #1 priority considering how much the internet is changing and taking their business. It has almost made me want to become a destination wedding travel agent so I could save all the future brides...hahaha!

Photographer – Frances Morency Believe it or not but I found her on Pinterest before we had even set the first date when I searched “Free Destination Wedding Photographer”! I saw her post on Pinterest and wrote her a message...”what do you mean by FREE?”..cause to my knowledge, nothing in life is free! She wrote me back right away and when I actually set my date I called her up. She is trying to build her Destination Portfolio so she is offering 3 Free weddings a year (hints to you 2016 Brides). You pay her travel, parking at the airport, food for the plane, and pay for her to have WiFi in her room. You agree to what all these prices will be beforehand. In return you get Coverage on your entire wedding day from getting ready to reception, She will also take candid’s of your guests during the week, and if you have any other group activities she will cover those too (excursions too if you pay her way). She also does an extra “Love Session”...you can do this before the wedding...or use it as your trash the dress after the wedding. You get all your pictures but a limited amount are fully edited and ready to print.Like anything there are always extras you can purchase...Albums, Large prints, All Edited Pictures. For us our wedding group package from AC included every 11th person free so we used our free person for our Photographer and used the extra money to upgrade for All edited Pictures. Her Style Is Journalistic with a lot of natural moments...which I really like...check her out and let me know what you think Website Facebook Pinterest Blog She also does Boudoir Photo...have any of you girls had that done...I am thinking about it but I think I'm way too self conscious and shy to do it! Wouldn't it be so awkward?

More Updates!! Wedding Package & Extras: We chose the Silver Renewal Package...cheapest one they had...includes all the basics without the legal marriage and fancy color coordinated decorations. For the location we choice the wedding Gazebo instead of the beach, it’s next to the beach but it is more private and the seated area for the guest does have a little shade. As a guest of a DW shade is awesome...15min ceremony feels like a life time when you are boiling in your seat! lol As for the Extras, there are a ton of things you can add on...apparently you finalize everything in your meeting once you get there, but you send a wishlist spreadsheet a month before you go. But we haven’t really gotten that far yet...more on that to come I guess. The only extra we sure we are having a private Reception on the resort with open bar Theme / Colors This is something that has been constantly evolving... I started out wanting a Travel theme...with Peacock colors...I don’t know why Then it change to different shades of blues and green with a starfish theme, then I changed my mind to a beach glass theme...then it was a nautical theme....now I have no real Theme per say...just a mixture of everything! This just might be a disaster! Lol! Here is my Color Pallet: Here is Some if my Inspiration: I like the mixed metals with various shades of blues and greens...with some pink (probably Flowers) to break it up More coming soon...
