Thats so exciting!!! I can't believe how close your wedding date is now!!! YAY! So about your hair.. I found out about what I may do for mine on this forum.. someone suggested getting a hair trial done at your hometown and have them take pictures during the process so when you go to the resort you can show them the pictures and have them try and recreate it... I think thats what I will be doing... makes things a little less stressful if you have something to show them!

You are so relaxed about everything, that is great! I can't wait to hear about your fitting, i hope it goes well!!!

I finally emailed my WC (Carolina) and she is always so great with her responses... i am going to be making lots of decisions soon, so anything interesting i will make sure to post on here!

tracy s - GREAT idea about the hair.. I think I will work on that the next couple weeks... so what I can come up with...

 

yeah the dress fitting is in a couple hours and there is a FULL OUT BLIZZARD going on outside.. haha.. kinda funny...

 

when I got engaged in Sept, I started going to the gym.. I have gone from trying on size 12-14 wedding dresses to having my size 10 having to be taken in cause the laces meet... So I wish I could have put my dress fitting off a bit longer... or gotten a size 8.. but if that's all I have to complain about LIFE ain't that bad.. haha..

 

I feel like a 'dork' saying I have a personal trainer.. but after a 2004 car accident I have spent a crap load of money on massage and chiro... (neck & upper back injury) and since hitting the gym bearly a penny... best $$ I have ever spent and it's only twice a week for 25mins.. and watching my food...

Found these on Sol Tamargo's site and they are of a EDSS wedding from a few years ago (at least 2 because the pier is still intact). Thought I would share - they are amazing!

That's awesome! I love those pics!! Is that where you plan on having your ceremony on that beach gazebo? Mine is going to be just the four posts with my colors as the fabrics... I love that look... so exciting!

Question to you ladies... how much did you spend on your dresses?? Mine is currently on sale.. I am inquiring as to how much on sale but I just wanted to ball park it and see what everyone else paid for theirs??.. Also are you guys doing A TTD session? If so did you use another dress?? I am thinking I want to find a cheaper dress to do this in, but I guess I am looking for opinions! Let me know! Thanks!

I bought mine online for $370 usd... i found it in the store, and bought it online because it was 600$ cheaper... Not doing a trash the dress because we don't have time after the wedding unfortunately we leave the next day.. lots of ladies seem to be passing on dresses for cheap though that would be great for a TTD if you want another. Have you looked online at the cost of yours?

I spent 540US for mine.. I found the dress in a store here in Canada.. and they wanted 1150 plus tax.. Yikes.. so I 'googled' it and found the exact same dress in the US at a bridal store going out of business NWT. I was VERY happy.

 

I would search used pages for a TTD. Check out Kijiji in Calgary and you can get something for $100 I'm sure.. so wade around in the ocean in.. haha.. good luck

Thanks for the help! I am searching as we speak! I have tried to look online for a TTD dress, but still haven't come across anything... but there is one promising one I just found on the site you recommended! Thanks! And only 100 like you said!!! Wicked!!! :)
