July 2014 Brides

[LoriGran]

OH WOW REALLY??? No off the racks for me I'm 4'11 I'm going to need a sh** load of alterations!! Man I better get a move on then! No we made the decision based on reviews/pictures/pricing/location that we wanted to get married at that resort so I guess we are just going to confirm our decision... Lets hope we fall in love with it in person. I have been working on some DIY projects and starting ordering little details for reception but that's about it.

Ordered my dress! They told me it will take 6 months to come in and they like to start alterations 4 months prior. I had no idea it took so long!

Yay!! The maracas are super popular for wedding favors, I didn't want to run the risk of waiting till next year to order and them being sold out!

Soooo, I went to 3 different dress appointments and I have found the one!!! Have another appointment next week to try it on and I'll be saying "Yes to the dress" that day!!!! How is everyones planning going? I have sent out my save the dates already but people can't book yet since the flights are not out yet. When is it a good time to start bridesmaid dress shopping?

Hi Lori,

 

Congrats on finding your dress! Its such an awesome feeling. I started shopping for my maid of honour's dress really early, at the beginning of august because that was when I was back home in Ontario to go shopping with my sister and mother. I'm hoping to take my Matron of honour out around January/February to chose her dress as we live in the same city and work together. I believe it only takes about three months to get the bridesmaid dresses in, not nearly as long as our dresses take to come in. I ordered my sister's the beginning of August and its expected for her to pick it up in October maybe November. If that's any sort of indication.

How many bridesmaids do you actually have, as that might be the biggest trouble coordinating to go dress shopping with them. I only have the two, my sister and my one of my best girlfriends. They aren't wearing the same dress, but will both be in the same colour and fabric, but I'm letting them chose their own dress with my approval just so I can make sure the actual dresses will look good together next July.

 

Hope that helps!

Liana
