Gels are definitely the way to go, but yes, you have to be sure the person knows what they are doing. I wear them all the time -- they are strong, shiny and the manicure lasts 2-3 weeks, and I am hard on my nails. I'd suggest "pink and whites" as opposed to the regular french. It's a softer prettier look (I think) than the traditional french....but that's my opinion They definitely should not peel off! I'm a biter and a chewer, and it feels like I'd break a tooth if I started to chew or bite.

Lots of good advice here, but I too, am I second time bride, and I had doubts the first time and in retrospect, I should not have gone through with it. The closer it gets the harder it is to call it off, but YOU are the most important person in YOUR life. Trust me, it's much more painless and less costly to do it now before you become the Mrs. than it is to do it later down the road. For me it was 16 years and 2 kids later and it was very hard. There are no guarantees in life, that's true, but if you are really unsure before you walk down the aisle, that's not a good way to start. I hope you can find some time alone to try to think it all through. You deserve the best....and you have lots of support here regardless of which route you choose! Good luck!

Welcome! You've got lots of time! Read and enjoy! There's so much information here! If I had found this first, I wouldn't have needed any bridal magazines. There's more help and information and genuine support here than you'll find anywhere! Lucky for you you found this sooner than I did! Best of luck!

where did u find the tiny starfish that you tied to the fans?

I did my OOT bags based on number of people in each room...we have some 2's, 3's and more.....

However, we got engaged at Christmas, started planning in February and got married in August, so it wasn't any longer than that. Happy almost 1 yr anniversary!!!

Sabrina -- Michae's and AC Moore have great deals right now on flip flops. I got really cute blue ones with octopus, starfish, seahorses, etc. on them...so cute for my bucket of flips! I think they were $1 each?

When all else fails, default to Martha! The seashells are beautiful!

If I understand this correctly, I think it's because you don't have enough posts; a new rule. But I see that your wedding was 7/8 so hopefully you were able to find something in the meantime. I'm in the same boat...I could really use the files she's attached, but I'm 8 days away and struggling! Wish I had found this website a year ago!!!

Super creative and helpful! I just found first aid kits at the Dollar Store this week for $1 each.
