Hello 2011 brides,

Time is flying by!  I only have 6 months to go!  I have been MIA but I will be back in the swing of things here very soon!  I wanted to ask you all where are your grooms getting there suits?  FI asked me about earlier and didn't have the slightest Idea.  Suggestions....

How exciting!  When in 2011 are you having your wedding? I have around less then 5 month to go and I need to lose weight.  I feel like I keep on putting on more. I don't know what to do.  No one really understands what wedding planning is like until they go through theirs.

 

 

I know a lot of grooms get there suits at express, banana, Jcrew, nordstorms, depends on the look he wants and quality.  You can get nice suits

at express. I think for men it's so much easier for them to find suits anywhere.

Tara/Lindobride - LOVE The Make-up; it is exactly what I was trying to find to show my make-up artist so Thank you!

 

Ladies I bought my dress on Sat! It was the second time I tried it on and I really fell in love with it. It fits great and if I can just tone up a little I will be good to go!

Here is a teaser

Beautiful dress, Maggie!  I love lace!  And I love how fitted it is -- it gives you a great hour-glass shape.

 

Glad you liked the makeup.  I am very particular with makeup so I was having a really hard time finding pictures I liked as well.  Glad I could help!

 

What resort are you getting married at?  I hate that we cant see wedding date and location anymore!

Pitt-  Sorry I just noticed your post on this page.  I'm not too good at the new format either!

 

I think I answered a lot of your questions in my long post on the Ibersotar thread, but yes, the Italian is SOOO pretty!  I'm so sad we're not having it there.   It came down to food for us, and I liked the surf and turf many offered by the Lindo better 

 

I must admit I'm still second guessing myself because I love that restaurant for a reception venue.  What dinner options did you go with, the tenderloin? 

 

My meeting with Ivan went well.  he didn't show up for our scheduled time and I was waiting around for 45 minutes in the lobby which was frustrating, but then I found out it was because his daughter was in the emergency room for an asthma attack  (understandable) So we rescheduled for the next morning and I met with him literally a half hour before we left for the airport for our trip home.  If you go to his blog, you'll see some pics he's done at the Iberostars.  I would highly reccomend him.  He does a great job and a great pricetag to match.

 

Now the florist.  I will post my inspiration pic  for the bouquet and then the sample he made based off of that.

 

Here's my inspiration pic:  I wanted to substitute hot pink for the yellow orchids since my colors are hot pink and coral.

 

 

and here's the one he did:

 

 

As you can see, he used about 12-15 orange roses and about 5 green cymbidium orchids.  (the one pink phalaenopsis was added just for the picture) 

 

I told him I wanted less roses and more orchids.  So my finished bouquet will have 8 coral roses  (as opposed to orange)  8 green cymbidium orchids and 8 fuschia phalaenopsis orchids. 

 

 

 

So as you can see they do their best to replicate your inspiration pic, but they are open to make any changes you want.

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Your hair and makeup look lovely. Glad to hear that everything went well. How did your meetings go with the florist and Ivan Luckie? Do you have any pics of some of the flowers? Which ones did you go with? I am considering booking Ivan Luckie as my photographer and was just wondering how your meeting went?

I also read on the Iberostar thread that you were considering going with the Del Mar because of the Italian restaurant. Thats where we are having our reception! Isn't it soooo pretty! Are you switching resorts?
