The corset backs are great for holding the ladies in... Congrats! I know a lot of the girls here have bought their dresses or are going to buy there dresses there but I have never really heard of any positive experiences personally from people whom I know have made purchases there. I'm HUGE on personal attention and customer service and I would rather give my money to a mom and pop shop than some corporate wedding machine! Sorry....this was not meant to offend, just my opinion!

Ok I have a confession to make... I Danielle Marie have been missing from the BDW boards due to my unhealthy obsession with my registries... I can't STOP!!!! Things are disappearing and I can't stop... I have NO self control....lol!

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban had a little girl today.... or should I say Sunday...hahaha! Her damn name is SUNDAY Rose! I thought she would have gone for something a little more sane....lol! Anywho it's a big "Welcome to the world" little Sunday Rose Kidman Urban! Congrats!

Guys I'm totally slacking! Nothing has been done this past month and I doubt anything will done until the end of the month... ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!

Congrats!!!! They look great and you looked AMAZING!!!!

She's a beauty! Congrats!!!

From Levittown you can just hop on 95... I would say about 30 minutes. But KOP is at minimum 45 on the turnpike. Traffic in the Philadelphia area SUCKS!!!! Yeah my mom's doctors don't want to take the chance in waiting until after our wedding due to the cyst attached to the tumor and they don't want the cyst to have a growth spurt and put more pressure on her brain... But it'll be good! I'll try my best to make it! I'll keep you guys posted as to whether I can be there.

Alrighty.... I might be able to swing this! I won't know until that Thursday.... My mom is having her surgery that Wednesday and is to be in the ICU for a few days. Since she'll be at Penn I might be able to visit with her and meet in guys downtown in Old City or something. Yari.... KOP (King of Prussia) is REALLY far from Levittown, but if you have I would totally recommend visiting the mall (King of Prussia Mall that is) well worth it. It requires a whole as it is the largest retail mall on the east coast. But anywho... I vote Center City... Are you driving yourself or something driving you?

They are beautiful! Love your outfit choices and LOVE the hotel!

I know everyone here likes Nevaeh and PERSONALLY I like these 2 way more and would name my child either. I had a customer with a little girl named Allegra, it was a name LONG before it was an allergy med. And a friend of mine just named their daughter Teagan too but her middle name is Patricia.

good thing you just called me and asked me this because i would have never seen this thread! i'm glad i could help you guys out! consider this case CLOSED....lol!

They are beautiful! I love them! I think I might pick them up for my house...lol!

Yeah.... the flower girl dresses are a total rip off! I couldn't believe it! But we did it anyway... We got ours in Skippack up here (I live about 10 minutes from Carly) and the shop was AMAZING and the prices were really great except for the flower girl dresses... Have you guys decided on a location yet?

WOW!!! Thanks Alyssa!! I really appreciate the kind words... you're too sweet. I will have some pictures ready to go tomorrow! Girls her shower was BEAUTIFUL!!! I told one of her bridesmaids that I was totally going to tell my bridesmaids that they better get on it!!! The atmosphere was so intimate and unique and TOTALLY conducive to some AWESOME images! She has some really amazing bridesmaids who are the true definition of great friends! Congrats!

Where are you getting their dresses at? My friend (with the brown and red) got the dresses from a designer that only does flower girl dresses from the same shop as the bm dresses. I believe that they are tulle dresses with a satin sash, they're really cute! I also got my bm dresses and flower girl dress at the same place and my flower girl is in the reverse colors as the girls, (bm dresses are burnt orange with chocolate sash, fg is chocolate with burnt orange sash) my fg dress is from the same designer and same fabric and her dress was MORE expensive then most of the bm dresses (I let each girl pick they're own dress so we have 5 different dresses....same designer and fabric though). I could not get over the fact that her dress was SOOOO much money!!!! She's 4.... why is here dress $200?!?!

I don't think it'll be a big deal if you had her in another designer's dress. It might look really cute if she's in another shade and fabric. I'm all for it!!! My friend who I'm a bridesmaid in this September she did this (different designer, different fabric, different color) and they are going to look soooo cute! We're in chocolate brown with an apple red sash, the girls are in red dresses with chocolate sash.

Maura... Thanks for your detailed story...lol! I think I've convinced to do it too now! Tim works for GSK (GlaxoSmithKline the maker of the drug) so he can get it for me with his discount. And he has begging me to try it and I've hesitant because I didn't know anyone who's been on it. So hearing your experience Maura I think it was just what I needed. So thank you so much! I think I may try to get my hands on some this week sometime.
