However, we're having a hard time finding locations because it seems as though everything is either a huge, all-inclusive resort (not so much our style) or very expensive. We're thinking of getting married sometime next May or June and I really look forward to sharing ideas with you all! - Jen Hello Jenn! WELCOME TO THE FORUM! I know all too well about being on a budget. I didn't think an All-Inclusive Resort was our cup of tea either. But just seeing how past brides we're pretty much on a budget, and had BEAUTIFUL WEDDING--and how fast things add up, We were sold on the idea! An AI resort was our only option to have the wedding of our dreams! Happy Planning and i can't wait to see your ideas! BTW: we're both from the SFBay area and love our PITTBULLIES!

Hello and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! you'll get plenty of help on here! HAPPY PLANNING!

they turned out great! your guest will love and appreciate them!

i HEART candy!! I always wanted to do a candy bar, but just wasn't sure how the candies would hold up in the heat! What candies do you recommed that would hold up, and not melt?

thanks for sharing! I told my FI that it's his job to find what he and his boys are going to wear! LESS STRESS FOR ME! i'll have to forward the sites to him!

WHOA!!! Everything turned out soooo nice!!! i can't wait to see your pictures when you return! Congrats!

thanks for the pics Ana! we chose Cascada Terrace because of the amount of guest we are expecting. now i'm afraid of the foot traffic since it's such a central location.

I've been looking for a plain FG pail just like this! i have the one's from the dollar bins at target but they have embossed flowers on them. Where did you purchase yours from?

Absolutely stunning!! Congrats! Any TTD teaser photo's?? i can't wait to see them! I also have Yesica, and so far has been nothing but sweet and helpful! Thanks for your review!

tell me about it! i couldn't pass it up! it was originally $1,200. went down to $300.. i told the sales lady my budget was only $199 since it'll be ruined anyway, and she gave it to me!! if any of you ladies live in the SFbay area, head down to Bay Area Bridal. here's the address: 19640 Stevens Creek Blvd, Cupertino CA 95014

I just had to share! and it was only $199.00!!!!!!!!! let me know what you guys think! FRONT: DETAIL FRONT: BACK: DETAIL BACK: My real wedding dress is a trumpet style with a sweep train. I thought i'd go all out with the POOFINESS for our TTD photo shoot!!

Hello future Dreams Brides! in 3 weeks i'll be doing my resort visit and meeting up with Yesica!! I CAN'T WAIT! while i'm there, is there anything you ladies would like me to ask or look for, or take pictures of? i'll be doing our menu tasting and also do a trial guest table setting. i also have a meeting with our photographer Dino Gomez, if any of you are hiring him as well!

i've been looking for silver shell place card holders to hold the table numbers at each table!! i actually need 10!!! if i purchase the 6 from you, where did you purchase them so i can get 4 more?

Complete Wedding Planner & Organizer, Elizabeth Lluch, Book - Barnes & Noble since purchasing mine, it has kept me so organized. the best thing about it is it has a budget spread sheet that break everything down! trust me, it's just the FI and I paying for the wedding without the help of anyone. so i know all too well in keeping things affordable. have you chosen a location yet?

welcome to the forum! you'll find tons of ideas on here! you'll be surprised how wonderful and helpful all the ladies are! HAPPY PLANNING!

I'm so excited! I AM OFFICIALLY A FUTURE DREAMS BRIDE! We just confirmed our wedding date today with Yesica, and are doing our resort visit in MAY!! YAAHOOOO!!

My MOH's are wearing Coral as well!! Question: Was it hard for you to find Coral dresses? I can barely find any dresses!!

I love it!!! Everything will look great on you!! I can't wait to do my shopping!
