Oh no! I love the yellow & gray you had picked out. And I agree, I'm not really into red either. Maybe you can compromise and do a sunset palette, like softer reds/oranges/yellows?
I'm so in love with my dress, I'm not planning on having a 2nd dress for the reception.
If I do a TTD, I'll get a 2nd dress. Again, love the dress WAY too much to trash it, plus it's satin/mermaid-y so wouldn't work that great I think anyway!
I'm trying to run 2-3 days a week (up to 2.5 miles straight no stopping!) and doing Crossfit 2x a week. I did 1 month of T25 (hurt my knees) and the first 30 days of Chalean Extreme/Turbofire hybrid which I'm taking a break while I get acclimated to Crossfit.
I want the first dress for myself! It's gorgeous!
If you can find it in another color, that would be better in my opinion. But if the other is cheaper, doesn't need to be altered much AND they like it more...I'd honestly say go with that. But then again, it's your wedding
We have 2 little ones, and will be paying for our own as well. My parents have decided that they will pay for my 2 siblings and their spouses as any money they would give us..um. ok? That sounds more like a gift to them...we luckily didn't expect/ask for their help, nor did my parents pay for me to attend my siblings weddings (over $1000 out of pocket each time). This sounds more bitter than I actually am...LOL. Anyway, paying for our own and for a private reception for our guests
I would LOVE to do the tequila shot placecards!! We have some sober guests and kids, so it probably wouldn't work... We are doing a tequila toast when we say "I do" though - the resort will serve tequila or water (for the non-drinkers) in our shot glasses (from OTC - "Took a shot, tied the knot") to the guests and then we'll toast before we walk back down the aisle
We're going to do luggage tags with their names inside - they will be able to reuse them (since we're not customizing).
I liked these, but ended up getting a bunch of blues for our colors: http://www.dhgate.com/product/40pcs-lot-pvc-cartoon-luggage-tag-mix-color/169023125.html#cppd-4-5%7Cnull:32
