Tinkersofi's Planning Thread - Azul Fives August 13, 2015

Oh wow! I like the dress on you a lot better than on the model! There was a thread on here somewhere that had brides in side-by-side pictures in their dress compared to the model. Like 95% of them I thought the dress looked way better on the real bride!

Sincerity has some absolutely gorgeous dresses! I found the brand by accident last fall and considered a couple of them. They're also quite reasonably priced. But I'm still happy with the deal that I got! Your's is absolutely beautiful!!

@@beckys98 thank you! I just think that a dress also has to fit your personality and that makes a world of a difference on how you carry it, so maybe that's why most of them look better on the brides than on the models . I think this dress really fits my personality. I was actually telling my mom the other day that I feel like it makes me look smaller and/or younger. When I tried it at the store I felt like a sweet 16 hahah. I'm glad I got a veil because it makes a big difference, it makes me look more like a bride . 

 

I have a friend who got married a few years ago and she looks super young. One of the people working at the reception asked her sister if she was a child bride hahaha. She was 25 by the way, but her dress also made her look smaller and younger  

 

@@acw271011 yes, their prices are so reasonable. I couldn't believe the deal I got on my dress considering all the beading and detail on it . I can't wait to see your dress on you, it's so beautiful.

I feel pretty good but I freak out once in a while. I don't think I've quite grasped the fact that it's only a few weeks away! I still feel like I have another year to go hahah. There hasn't been much planning going on, but I feel like everything is pretty much done.

We're ready to send our welcome brochures to get printed, but I think we should put a hashtag on it and we're having trouble deciding on something. Mainly we can't think of anything that isn't taken ahaha. What do you guys think of azulkisses? I don't know, I'm not convinced about it so I might just scrap the whole idea and have no hashtag. Just tell people to tag us on facebook/instagram or send us the pictures. After all there's only 30 of us. 

 

We also thought the song by Shakira (Colombian), Lucky, that she wrote to her then Argentinean boyfriend. It says "lucky that you were born so far away so we can make fun of distance" (or something along those lines haha), but if we make our hashtag makefunofdistance I don't think anyone else would get it.  

 

What do you guys think?

 

Update on the BM jewelry

 

So remember how I told you guys that these gifts have been stuck at Canada Post since June 1. I tried following up with customs and Canada Post and apparently all mail that came in June 1-3 is pretty much a write off. It's gone missing, they have no idea where it all is and people are getting quite impatient. My reaction is "Are you freaking kidding me?!". The lady over at customs said that Canada Post is the one that hands the mail over to them but they haven't handed anything for those three days and they're getting calls like crazy. There's basically nothing I can do until Canada Post gets their crap together. She said that in some occasions the status won't be updated but people receive it anyway so she said all I can do is keep checking my mailbox and pray that that's my case. How frustrating is this? I thought I had ordered this with plenty of time but maybe not. I guess I'll wait until the last few weeks and if it doesn't come in I'll try to get them something locally. Which still makes me angry because what a waste of money. 

 

As for my necklace for the wedding, it was supposed to be here already but Canada Post made a mistake and sent it to the wrong place, so now they had to re-route it, according to the tracking now it should be on its way. I am not impressed with Canada Post right now at all! It's not even Christmas time!!

Hey!

 

Sorry to hear about your jewelry. I've never had a liking for Canada Post so I feel your pain. I hope it all works out.

 

My coworker recently married and used their last name and knot. So #smithknot or whatever. Just an idea!

I think your ideas are cute but personally like ones with your name somehow. But I don't hashtag so what do I know I think any would work! We only had one or two use wed pics most used Facebook like you said.

 

Congrats on being close to printing the brochure.

 

Edit - if the jewelry never shows don't you have some recourse with the site you purchased or your bank/pay pal? I'd want my money back!

I worked for Canada post for 6 years, and 2 strikes. Don't even get me started.....

One that bugs me most is I'm at HOME awaiting my package and an hour later I have a card in my box that I wasn't home. Grrrrr

That hashtag is a great idea. But I'm leaning more towards just telling people to tag us on Facebook. It will just be a lot simpler since they already do anyway . I'm sure Juan will agree with that too.

 

Yeah I'm thinking of waiting a bit longer in case it shows up in the mailbox but otherwise I think it was certified so I can probably get my money back somehow. Either from the bank or from canada post. I just don't understand how you can loose 3 days worth of mail. That's a lot of mail!
