Heidi, what photographer did you use? Did you get a video? everything looked great!! your hair turned out perfectly!

It's an organza fabric and I bought about 120 of them. At first, I thought that I wanted satin, but with the way that I'm choosing to tie them, I think that organza will be perfect!!

Heidi.........yayyyy!!!! Congrats! Everything looked perfect. Your hair turned out GREAT!!! and you look like you were glowing the entire time!!

i got some thick bronzy chocolate paper from Kelly Paper and some lighter cardstock where I printed our monogram. I printed our actual menu on clear vellum paper and then placed it over top of the ligher cardstock.....then placed the lighter cardstock over the heavy chocolate paper. then, I used brads to attach the 2 together. Lastly, I went to kinkos and used their free paper cutter machine. It came out really nice. It's even prettier in person. A good tip is to use a thumb tack to create the holes at the top and then use the brad to push it through.

OMG...that's HORRIBLE!!!! Why did the flight get canceled? I'm glad you got that situated. Have a safe flight and a wonderful wedding. can't wait for you to get back!! Enjoy!

What are some fun activities to do during your welcome mixer? I'm thinking about maybe making a collage and something telling our love story. I want to have some sort of fun interactive game that everyone can play also. Any ideas??

I'm wearing mine for the ceremony and dinner reception, and then changing right before we go to the disco for dancing.

Wow....i can't believe your time has finally come! Have a blast and remember to take LOTSSSSS of pics!!! Can't wait for you to get back! Congrats!

I voted #1.....if I were wearing my hair up, that's the style that I would choose!!!

I was just telling 12 piece that she lucked up with Robin and so did you! Her work is great!! I hope Michael doesn't catch on. So many people are using her, I don't know if you can continue to keep saying, "Oh a family friend is doing the photography"........Anyway, I know it will all work itself out. I can't wait to see how your pics turn out!

Thanks.......i was thinking the same for yours. Be sure to get a good look at the gazebo pond for me. When does your flight leave? Are you all packed up?

I'm just hoping my guests aren't standing around while we do this. are you bringing someone from home? no, i'm actually flying in my photographer from NY. I met her online and her work is great too! We are doing our TTD the day after the wedding so nobody will be around (hopefully) and we are going to try to "tame" down the sex appeal so we can show all of our family and friends. Maybe put a playful, (splashing water) type of spin on it instead of "sexual healing" feel.....but as always, you will be my guinea pig!!

all mac right? I"m going to the counter tomorrow to pick all 3 up.........Love it!!!

i know........she's fantastic!!!! I only HOPE that my photographer can bring it like that!! Your pics are going to be off da hooooookkkkk!!!!! :-)

12piece........are you using him for photography also, or just videography?

Everything looks fantastic! I love your picture frames. Pouring the sand in between the glass is going to be so lovely. What happend to the chocolate TTD dress? Did you change your mind........either way, they both are beautiful. btw: What color are you wearing on your lips?

Thanks so much Linzibella!! I got it from a small bridal shop here in Los Angeles. To be honest, I'm not thrilled with any of my dresses, but i do love my TTD dress. The others are not giving me the "umph" factor, but I'm running out of time and money so they will have to do.

what did i ever do before coming to BDW. Thank you ladies. I'm going to take some time to reflect tonight. It's almost like I'm seeing things that I never have before (discovering his "porn" stash, overheard him on the phone talking to his brother about "hitting up a club" while we are in JAMAICA for our WEDDING & HONEYMOON) and various other things. I'm just feeling very confused and emotional right now. Looking at the bigger picture, I know that he is a good man and no........i can't really picture myself with anyone else.....nor would i want to.

Me and FI have been bickering alot lately and I think that i'm having pre-marital jitters. We had a looonnnnggg 5 year engagement (my choice) and I finally decided Dec 06 that it was time to get on the ball with planning and setting a date.....now that we have less than a month left, I'm starting to question myself. i dunno......i'm rambling right now. Anybody else feel this way?

Will the dress get ruined TTD is "Trash the dress"........it's when you take shots that are not the "traditional" wedding type of portraits. They could be on the beach, on top of a mountain, in a cave, basically anything you want. There is a possibility that your dress can get ruined or a bit dirty, so some brides opt to use a different gown specifically for that purpose. Here are some past BDW TTD shots. I hope they don't mind me referencing their pictures. I saved them because I really loved the way they came out and hopefully can get something similar to this look. One of the photographers is actually a member here on this forum.

Thanks Alex!!! I got it!!

Thanks ladies........ Butlergirl, CantwiatobeMrs, and BeckyN......i just sent the template for my welcome brochures. Have fun!!!

everything looks great!! Oh, I'm so excited for you!! Have a blast!

Here is my TTD gown. We are doing a session the day after the wedding. It's really light and flowy.
