CarrieRN's planning thread with pics!!

[CarrieRN]

Okay, well it is almost time for my wedding! I can’t believe it is almost here and it is my turn to do a planning thread. We have 44 people joining us down in Mexico for a variety of trip lengths. I am starting to get very excited!

 

So, here it is! (I’ll have to do another one later for my AHR.)

 

The rings:

 

We found Dave’s rings on amazon.com just by searching for tungsten rings. They were $30/each which is why we got two.

The resort:

Gran Bahia Principe Coba in Riviera Maya, Mexico

 

 

My dress: (Pardon hair and make-up, and my sister’s cat)

 

My jewelry:

 

My shoes:

Dave’s outfit:

Shirt custom ordered from weddingtropics.com and pants from Kohl’s. We got a similar shirt and same pants for his twin brother/BM. Dave does have a matching jacket as well.

 

My MOH/twin sister’s dress:

 

Her jewelry: (she was in charger of her own accessories)

 

Her shoes: (We figure if our feet hurt, we can just trade shoes since they are the same color.)

The OOT bags: Totes from cheaptotes.com, my stepbrother screenprinted them for me.

 

Contents of OOT bag are one bag and one travel mug per person, a CD, the photo scavenger hunt list, 2 maraca pens and a deck of cards (not pictured…need to buy more of those.)

 

Close up of the travel mugs with our logo. Ordered by my stepsister for discount when she was working at Leed’s. Ended up costing $2.10 per mug including my (our) logo.

Hair Inspirations:

 

I couldn't get the pics to show up. So, I put them in a word doc and attached the link here.

 

 

Flower inspiration: Pink callas or pink callas and pink roses. I’m thinking something in the pink range. Haven’t ruled out orange colors yet though. I guess I’ll commit when I get to the resort.

Thanks! I only spent $50 on alterations. Just need the sides taken in at the top and the front hemmed a smidge. I did ask her to put in bra cups but she apparently forgot. Oh, well! I doubt I could add anything in the top and still breathe!
