I'm going to link this so that people don't have to search. How much are you asking? It's a gorgeous gown! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t85-34

There are a ton of posts on totes. Go to the Search at the top and type in totes or bags or OOT bags. You should get a bunch. I personally got mine at the Dollar Tree! Happy Hunting!

I am trying to find ANY dress in the same color!!!

Yes, just AA in Jade. All I can find is style #6554 which is enormous and poofy! She will look ridiculous and probably pass out from the heat!! I've already called about 50 places with no luck... AHHHHHH!!!!!! So frustrating!!

Thanks ladies... I'm going to start calling around! Oh and I found out that she is a size 8, not a 6 (just in case anyone finds anything!)

So, I have a bridesmaid that wasn't going to be able to make my wedding because she was supposed to be in Ireland with her family. Plans changed so she booked her trip to Cancun last week. She has been calling dress shops and the actual manufacturer of the dress and the fastest anyone can get one is 6 weeks... my wedding will be over!! I've checked ebay and craigslist but nothing there... I don't know what to do!! She could just go and get a dress of the same color but the dress is a weird teal/jade color and it could look really bad against the other dresses. AND my other bm dresses aren't arriving for a few more weeks so she wouldn't have anything to really compare it to until about a week before the wedding. I didn't actually pick a specific dress so it SHOULD make it easier, I just picked the designer and color but I'm still at a loss. I don't know what to do!! Any ideas would be super super appreciated or if anyone can find me a size 6 Alfred Angelo dress in jade I would love you forever!!! Here is the link to the options and I chose the color JADE: Alfred Angelo... Find the perfect Wedding Dress, Bridesmaid Dress, Prom Dress, Flower Girl Dress or Mother of the Bride Dress at Alfred Angelo.

Thanks that was really helpful... but now you've got me wanting a night wedding! O-well! Thanks!

Ooops, I'm a moron. I didn't read the post completely. I only have the non-legal ceremony. Sorry for the confusion...

I have asked Gaby to send me other photos but she doesn't have any!!! AHHH... Did anyone use B-08 and can you send me pics?! And it really doesn't seem like any of the bridesmaids bouquets match the bridal one.. Anyone else having this issue? Also, we are planning on doing a bouquet toss... do I just use my bouquet or do they provide me with one to throw? The bridal bouquets seem quite large.. dont' want to knock anyone down or anything!

Holy Crap! 30 Days until my wedding!!! Holy crap!

Are we supposed to get a gift for our WC? Gaby has been really helpful in answering all of my questions so she definitely deserves something. I'm not sure if thats proper though? What do you guys think? Also, are any of you doing flowers from Dreams or is everyone bringing their own in? I really don't like any of the flowers that they have on their option list but don't want to pay extra. What is everyone else doing?

Those are gorgeous! Great job!

I know that I'm just going to trash it anyway but I really don't like this dress that I bought. I felt pressured to buy it because I went to this ladies house and I'm bad at saying no. I thought that it was okay, but I tried it on for the FI and he doesn't like it either. It's actually a really pretty dress... it just looks really bad on me. It is a size 8 (I am a size 6 and it fits perfectly except is a bit big in the chest area... I'm a 34B). I bought it for $150 but would sell it for less. If anyone likes it and wants it, let me know. I'm also willing to trade so send me what you got...

Welcome to forum!! I used hitchedinvites too and loved the work that she did. The document attached was a bit cut up though... do you want me to post them for you?

I'm such a procrastinator! Sending my entry in now!!

Did any of you ladies that were married at Dreams do programs? Do you have pics that I can look at? I'm using the regular generic ceremony but I'm not sure how to title things... like 'welcome' 'prayer' etc because its really hard to tell from what Dreams emails us.... Any ideas?

To save those darn UPS charges, I'm having my actual order shipped to my sister in Cali, and then she's going to ship is USPS. *sigh.... Sorry about the rant... overall, I'm glad I ordered it Glad you brought that up! The colors on the website (maybe it's my screen) really didn't match the actual samples. I really wanted to go through this company because they were the cheapest I found but I had to go elsewhere because of the color issue. Good luck!

Thanks Jean Marcus!! I knew that you would be the one answering this one!!

So I booked a prof photographer for my ceremony and reception but cant' really afford to have another one for my TTD session. My MOH dabbles in photography and has taken classes and has a nice camera and has offered to take pics for us so what the heck... it's free! The only thing is, she's never done anything like this before. I'm planning to show her pictures of other TTD sessions that I've found on here but I'm wondering if there are any special things she should know... like what order to do the pics in? Which pics look the best? etc. etc... If any of you photographers out there wouldn't mind shooting some tips and advice over, I would be extremely grateful!! Thanks so much! d

I didn't get it but I did request samples and I believe that they will send you 3 of them for free.

I've read a bunch of stuff on the cakes at dreams and everyone who has been married says that it isn't very tasty and the dessert that is included is much better so it's not really worth paying an extra hundred bucks or more for a bigger one.

I got mine from Gwen at Hitched invites. She was really reasonable and great to work with. Here is the link: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t20790 PM me if you have any other questions!
