[Dreamgirl08]

Hundreds of posts later and even after my wedding in Riviera Maya Mexico, it's finally my turn to share all of my wedding plans. I don't even remember how I stumbled across this forum, but I'm so happy I did. I owe it all to BDW!!

I was a BIG MESS before I left so I didn't get a chance to share my pics then, but here goes....ENJOY!!!

 

We're H.S. sweethearts so we've been together since 96' but the Wedding Plans all started back in May of 2006, when John proposed to me on Graduation Day.

For our OOT BAGS we kept it simple and to the point. It was mostly his idea to do it this way. I kind of wanted to try doing the monogramed beach tote, but at the end I was so happy we did it like this. We got these cool bags from this website, and I love how they went nicely with our wedding colors too.

Ceremony Shoes GUESS:

For Fun Pics - I got these cool beach sandals from:Fancy Feet JewelryI don't remember how much I paid for them, but I know that they will probably the best deal you'll find. I loved mine so much that I then ordered 2 more for my bridesmaids to wear for walking down the aisle. I highly recommend her too, I got them Quick and the Quality is Great!

From the min. I took a whiff I knew this was the one for me..I LOVE IT!!

Got it at Macy's...

I searched for a long time before I came across this BEAUTIFUL DRESS for my 2 bridesmaids.

 

At the time when I called, they only had sizes 2-6, and the lady said they run small, plus that they have no stretch material. Thank goodness lucky for me my 2 bridesmaids are petite and small on top. It was def. an extra bonus for me that they loved them too!!!Women's dresses - weddings & parties - Silk taffeta Lorelei dress - J.Crew

 

Oh and I also mailed these out to my girls 1 yr. ahead. They loved them!Bridesmaid Gifts and Wedding Favors | Will You Be My Bridesmaid Cards

In addition to their fancy feet jewelry that I got them, I also treated them to a cute starfish bracelet for them to wear on the day of the wedding, which they kept for themselves afterwards. SELF NOTE*** the starfish appears alot bigger on their website then it actually is, but the quality is great. Sterling Silver Jewelry - Tiffany Inspired Sterling Silver Starfish Bracelet

And Finally......

Boudoir Gift Books for DH

I did Pro and Non-Pro Pics. The little pocket-sized book was done through a professional photographer at her studio in NJ. Although this album is only sized at 5x5, the quality is wonderful and it's a Perfect Size for him I thought. The bigger album was a gift from my sister to me. She is an aspiring photographer from Virginia who is developing her portfolio, and so she offered to do a Boudoir Shoot for me at "our" house for free. Both books turned out so ***HOT*** that I decided to give him both. I highly recommend all Brides-2-B out there to consider doing a Boudoir Shoot. Just think of it as a gift for both of you. I really did this for him, as I wanted to surprise him with something totally unique, but I also did it for me as well. Preserving pictures of myself of when I was young and beautiful is a real treat in itself for me too I think. Years from now...I wanna be like WOW!...that was me....haha!!! Seriously...it's such a self-esteem booster

 

Oh and I did a personalized card to go along with the gifts. That's one of our kitties Cali, on the front of the card you see here. We love our kitties so much...I thought I'd get creative with it. -
