That is a great price and Ann's veil looks great. what color are you getting? Quote: Originally Posted by TammyB Sunnydaes, I merged your thread with the orginal one. Sorry tammy!

OK, I tried to add to the "Veils online" thread instead of starting a new one, but it wasn't working out with the question I had...so i'm hijacking it. here is what I posted: I'm bringing this thread back alive, I hope thats OK! I looked on the website OccanseyDesigns Custom Wedding Veils - OBridal.com and it looked great. I see that some people on the forum used it. Can you provide feedback? What one did you pick out? and I don't see prices-- what is their price range...So far in the stores I haven't seen one for less that 300. I am only going to be wearing the veil during the ceremony so I really don't want to spend much on it. But i also don't want to cheap out on it... How did you feel about the veil from this site, was it good quality? thanks for anyone who has veil experience! If anyone else has good recommendations let me know...I think this place looks promising.

Here are some that I really like- its not hair flower, but hair jewelry. I also really like this site Hair Flower Boutique: Hair Flowers - Silk Flower Hair Clips

I never felt as though I were a part of a community until I found BDW. I loved watching as the girls before me have such gorgeous weddings. It made any fears I had about location or how things will run, go away. Our girls are the greatest. Mostly the other sites were found when I'd search an idea I found here just to gather more photos. I created a knot username but could never get the hang of it and after reading some of the posts, the girls just ripped each other apart. It was safer just to lurk. Thank you! these are great! I completely agree with you.

Something old: not sure yet... Something new: dress something borrowed: borrowing jewelry from my gf that is a jewelry designer something blue: not sure yet, but i think i'm leaning toward blue shoes.

welcome danielle, glad to have you here.

Person with the most at the end won! -Had her sit and ask questions about Brandon, everytime she got it wrong she had to put another piece of bubblegum in her mouth, that was entertaining. - Gave everyone a note card and had them write a question on it. Ie: How do you get a red wine stain on the carpet? And collect the cards. Pass the cards back out and have people write their answer to the question on the back....this was so funny I forgot what someone of them were halarious, like What do you do to get Brandon out of bed the morning: (say this would be the answer to the red wine question) Just keep rubbing it until something comes out. We did some more stuff but just thought you guys may wanna check out some of the games were fun. Great ideas! thanks for sharing

I like the hearts (im not the majority i see) but i like it!

yes! good idea, I love polls!

I think they turned out good. they remind me of "vintage style" invites

what about him getting a tattoo ring!!?? Or if he doesn't want to do that, they do henna in Cabo. I once got my FI's name inside of a heart on my shoulder when we were in cabo, just for fun. It lasts for about 2 weeks.

hmmm thats a good point. I like the second one, but maybe make it a bit more full. Look at the bouquet on my siggy in the top right corner ( i also attached it). It might be a bit more relaxed with the tropical feel. But i feel like whatever you are feeling will work out beautifully, as they are both really nice choices.

OMG! I did laser today, and i forgot how bad it hurts!!!! but the good side, is its gonna look goooood! and i don't have to do anything for long time!

They are doing both dresses for $75 bucks!!! btw: My alterations just consist of taking up both dresses. They were both too long.

WOWOWOW! those are great prices! I'm going to try out Mon Amie and get a price quote and then if its not reasonable, I'm definitely PMing you both! thanks ladies!

He said I could send it to another high-end company, but, it will cost at least $1700! I'm willing to try anything and even spend a little $$ just to get those pics back, but, that seems a little outrageous. I feel so helpless when it comes to computers! (oh, btw, i'm on my work computer right now Do you have the white ibook? thats what crashed on me! Its so expensive to get it done, im sorry i was sooooo frustrated when it happened to me. I try to back up as much as i can, but i still get lazy! even after all that..

I love love love the first one. with the ivory i think it will look so classic and beautiful. I like the second one too, it just depends on which style you like better.

wow! thats really creative! I love the idea, great job!
