They have tons of stuff at michaels for hair flowers. I am sure you will find something reasonably priced to fit your budget.

So any news from the in laws on the ahr invites. Did they get it yet?????

[Brandy]

Lisa, I really like the first and last one!

 

Laura, I agree with lisa on the bead but the flower itself looks amazing, you did a really great job on that!!! You could sell yours on etsy!

[Lua]

oh my.. lol about the inlaws.. haha  honestly,  think they got it, but i really don't see how we're going to have the time to get them done and mailed out before we leave .. so  may have to re-word them again!!! .. we'll see though.  my dad said we can do all the printing at his place, so we just need to shop for paper.  I'm gone all this coming weekend for my 'girls weekend', so yeah... we'll see if i feel like doing invites on one of the 2 other weekends i have left before we leave!!

we did go to the polish hall yesterday though with both sets of parents and my grandma for a 'tasting' mmmm SOOO good!  and my parents loved the food too, so that's a plus.

 

ok .. way past my bed time!! lol darn Bachelor!!

Laura, your flower turned out great, it just need something bigger in the middle.

 

Lisa, I think you'll have the best luck getting the skirt of the first one replicated.

Just finished my welcome booklets! Glad to have that checked off  my to do list! and also just finished putting tgether my place cards now just need to tie them to the starfish with raffia, not sure if i should do that before we go or once we get down there? I dont want them to get ruined while traveling so im thinking once we get down there tie it all together....

 

heres the link to my welcome booklet thread http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/70754/teira-s-diy-welcome-booklet-with-pics#post_1564780 ... after i posted the pics i realized a couple typos i would have changed if i would have taken the time to proof read it better but oh well too late now

Sherri-I am freaking out because I am trying to get a bodice with straps on a picture with a ruffle skirt AGAIN lol I am in a time crunch but the more I think about the more I really really want a ruffle dress for at least my TTD. I just sent an email to a dress maker on dhgate but they aren't online right now and I sent a few of those pics trying to get them to understand what i am looking for but I don't think I am coming across right lol CRAP!!!!

Finally heard back from my friend (supposed 3rd bridesmaid). Yah, so "it's a no". It's sweet to let your best friend know that you're not coming to her wedding with a "We only have 5000 between us so it's a no". After a long talk with my mom & another friend I'm over it.

 

Anyone wanna buy a dress? Haha. It's not a convential BM dress by any means. It's gorgeous and I'd totally keep it if it wasn't 2 sizes too big on me (and I wouldn't match my 2 BM's haha). The pic doesn't do it justice. It's teal, about knee length, gorgeous beading around the keyhole neckline and all the way on the straps to the back. It's from Le Chateau, size Large. I'm a dress size 2/4 and I usually wear an XS there, sometimes a S... my friend who is (I think) about an 8 has a large and it fits her perfect. It's reg $169.99, I paid $89.99... tags still on, brand new, never been worn.

Love this!!  I may have to order also:)  Emily looked so cute in it! 

 

 

On a funny/trying not to freak out note.....FI and I realized last night that we were getting married in 4 weeks and hadn't gotten his ring yet.  Oops!  We've looked at a few places, but he hasn't found anything he loves.  Are any of your FIs having diamonds in their rings?  I like that look, but he's afraid he'll be too rough on them.  The rings he likes are the $90 titanium ones....which cracks me up about the price b/c he tends to like expensive things.  It feels weird to me to only spend that much on his ring.  Anyone else have the same issue?

 

I was up late too watching the Bachelor finale and the After the Rose.  I was a huge Emily fan during the show, but wasn't so sure after the recap last night.  Bummer.
