I got iron-on decals from Etsy for a great price and DIYed my MOH and FG tanks - and my MOH bought be the BRIDE tank from Victoria's Secret. The DIY route is great though - and there are so many affordable options on Etsy! And if you're not comfortable creating your own with rhinestones you can always ask for custom-made designs from the sellers on Etsy (best website EVER by the way).

Alright girls, I have prices in hand! Keep in mind, it's in CDN dollars! I don't want to post the whole list here, as it's not really to be shared with the public, but if you want to know specifics, just send me a PM or post on here. Cristinimartini - the Lala collar is listed at $390 And the entire collection was available in any and all Swarovski outlets as of Feb 15. And if you don't see something on display, you can always ask one of the reps and they can order it for you.

I'm working on getting pricing and asked about store availability. I'll keep you ladies posted.

So, I just got a press release from Swarovski about their brand new Spring/Summer 2010 collection. It's called Out of the Blue and it's PERFECT for beach weddings. Now, I have the look book on PDF from the publicist and I'm going to try and attach it to this post (sorry if it doesn't work!), but you can check it out online: Out of the Blue If any of you want specific info about a piece, just let me know and I can hit up Swarovski for more info.

Oh no, they're not showing .... I didn't get to see them!!!

Wow - gorgeous!!! And I absolutely LOVE the subtle dress unzipping on the last TTD shot ... that's HOT HOT HOT!!!!! You're a beautiful bride!! Congrats!

Wow - you're hot!!! FI is going to LOVE them! We all bite the BD pic post bullet eventually ... ;-) Can't do something like that without sharing with the BDW ladies!!! Hehehe

Don't forget the Grands Salons Marions-Nouse (Let's Get Married Expo) is on this weekend in Montreal! Here's the website with all the info: Montreal Wedding Planning Mariage Marions-Nous / Let's Get Married Sorry if this is a repost - mods feel free to delete if it is, but I couldn't seem to find another post with this info. Enjoy ladies!!

Well, I found this website and the suit for the 12m is available in white ... it's super cute and you can just lose the bow-tie if you want ... Classic Eton Suit (Tan or White) - Dressy Clothes and Formal Wear And it's not that expensive at all! $40 USD is pretty good I think ...

We didn't pay anything for our notary because we had a certain amount of guests so the hotel absorbed the price. Did you WC tell you that the hotel offered a free package like that? If you have 44 guests I would assume you more than qualify as we only had 17 total!! Most resorts have special packages - and if yours doesn't and you're not completely set on that particular resort, you might want to look into other resorts that WILL absorb the cost of your wedding and the notary because that's a steep price, even in CUC!! Good luck! xo

I have two cats of my own and I love them oh so much. Hello fellow Montrealer AND Cuba bride!!! If you have any questions about your wedding, let me know!! :) And as for Ghost Cat, she's doing wonderfully. They are all slowly getting along. All 3 sleep on the bed with us every night (which could call for an upgrade to a king-size for us in the near future!). She still has some aggression issues though that we have to work through. She bites often and gets aggressive if we go toward her head-on (as if we were going to hit her, which we aren't! ... which makes us think she was hit before). But she's lovely and the perfect addition to our family! See below:

Hey there - great question. We brought everything down with us and assembled the bags there the day after we landed. We knew everyone would be sleeping late, so we got up uber early and ran around the resort and left a bag in front of each door (we got their room numbers from the front desk) so when they woke up, they'd find their bags. Word of warning: We paid through the NOSE in baggage weight fees. We totally forgot about that and we were 20 kilos over in weight and for our airline we had to pay $10 per kilo we were over!! And it was all because of the OOT bag contents ... we actually had a bag and a 1/2 left empty when we were coming home ... just something you might want to take into consideration!

Wow - it's stunning! I wouldn't try on anything else! It's perfect for you and looks like it suits your body as well as your personality!!!

Aww, girls thanks. Your comments make me blush!! Sometimes we forget that the book is on the coffee table (second shelf tho!) and when family comes over I have to run and cover the front image with a magazine and pray no one saw it ... :-p Don't ask me why he insists on keeping it there ...

trobin1 - I just did a Google image search for "sexy wedding dress" and this came up! It was on a random blog (kereweddingdress.com) and I can't seem to find where it's from ... but I'll keep looking for you!

I just ordered a wedding album book from them as Christmas gifts for my parents and DH's parents and we LOVE it ... AND we ordered it on Dec 20 and they arrived on Dec 22! How awesome is that?! Here's the book: MyPublisher | Create Photo Books, Cards and Calendars with free MyPublisher Software! I have a promo code at home that will give $20 off if a friend signs up ... if anyone wants it, just give me a shout and I'll pass it along (sorry I'm at work now and don't have it with me!). Oh and they are also having a deal right now (that ends tonight at midnight!) that could get you 30% off your order!

Wow - everything looks amazing!! You're sooooo close now! I absolutely love your sexy bikinis - that pink and white one is HOT! Congrats and don't forget to post lots of pics when you get back!!

Hey! That's awesome that you're having your dress made ... I wish I could have done that too, but I was lucky enough to find the perfect fit and make on the 2nd outing. So, "sexy" is different for everyone; but I really love the silhouettes of all these dresses and think they are super-sexy without being too in-your-face or trashy ... you know what I mean?

I wonder where my starfish ended up? I got him from RIUMbride and then passed it along to Geralyn ... and then I think he went to JamaicaBride ... I want to know where he went next!!

Stunning - and the song is incredible. What language is that? And is there a significance to the song choice? You both look so incredibly happy. Congrats Amber!

My wedding was over 6 months ago and looking at this thread makes me want to go dress shopping all over again ... not to do the wedding over, just to experience finding and buying a dress again!! LOL Gorgeous dresses ladies ... you all look stunning and you're going to blow everyone away on your big day!

So, 7 months later and we're still just looking through our professional shots ... :-p Kinda sad, I know! But I came across these and they make me smile ... this was just after we got married ... we walked out on the pier where the ceremony took place for some photo ops: This thread makes me grin every time ... keep 'em coming ladies!

Wow - incredible Amber! You looked stunning and your guests had smiles on their faces the ENTIRE time! LOVE IT! Congrats!!

Wow Danielle - you were an absolutely gorgeous bride! I love the colors of your bouquet and flowers against all the white of your dress and hubby's outfit ... Beautiful, beautiful shots! Congrats!!
