I'd really planned on doing real flowers, I guess I just didn't realize how expensive they would be!! I really fell behind on making a decision for the flowers. :

I'm so frustrated with the trying to decide on flowers for the wedding. I love two different bouquet options, I sent them both to the florist the told me both will cost about $275-300 and the bridesmaids will be $90 each. This is probably stupid, but I'm really struggling with spending almost $500.00 on flowers! I probably won't even be able to bring them home, so that makes it even harder for me to want to purchase them. I've looked on some of the websites for the real touch flowers, most of them have been in bright/dark pinks. I'm looking for a pale pink. Another thing I've noticed is with the pink calla lillies that I've seen that are the real touch flowers, the center stem is pink and on the real ones it's a yellow color. These are the two bouquets that I love, I'm open to suggestions if y'all have some...I'd love to hear your opinions on this! I'd prefer a little lighter pink, than the top picture}

I can mail it out to you a right away. Let me know by Friday, August 21st, otherwise I'll just mail it to marryinghimagain I'm getting married the first weekend in November, could marryinghimagain pass it to me after she's done with it?

Thank you ladies for your input! We are going to register, I think as recommended I'll just tell those whose ask. I think it'll probably spread by mouth, that way I don't feel pushy about it.

My fiance and I have been together almost nine years, our home is pretty well established. While there are a few things I'd love to register for like a set of china and other various items. I don't feel right about registering for gifts, which is why I haven't to this point. Several people have called to ask us where we are registered, I've told them that we're not registered and most have said they would like gift ideas. Should I go ahead and register, even though we've been together this long and I've already sent out the invites? If do register, what are things that are appropriate to register for? Also, how would I let people know where we registered? Sorry for so many questions, I'm kinda stumped on this one!

I'm such a nerd, I ALWAYS have a check list for everything! This is great, thank you sooo much!

Ok I know I'm really behind on this but I have to reply! I love creative he was, it makes it that much more special when they put the extra thought into it!

I did a search for "starfish joural" on here but didn't come up with anything...can you direct me to it please? : )

Do you have any of the necklaces or cufflinks left? If so I'll take two of the necklaces and one of the cufflinks... {how much do you want for the cufflinks?}

THANKS!!! Same here, I couldn't believe how much dirt was in my carpet! I was really shocked because our carpet is less than a year old. I'm soo glad I decided to get one too!!!!!

Is is alright to put on the invitations TBA or following ceremony or something like that? I won't know this information until September probably. I could probably just put the times on the welcome letter I will be giving to each guest when they arrive at the hotel...Any thoughts on this? I put TBA on my invites, because we're not sure on the time yet. I think it's fine to include it in your welcome letter.

Great, thank you for updating us!

And poor Lily --she truly will have a breakdown after what she went through with Daniel because she is soo big (as she should be) on honesty! I think that phone call was their way "out" if they needed to maybe eventually get rid of Cane. I read in one of those soap update magazines not to long after he started on the show that they weren't sure if they would keep him or not, so I'm thinking they weren't sure what direction in the beginning they were going to go with his character. Am I the only one who's getting bored with the storyline recently? I've had enough of Adam, Gloria, Jill and Catherine!

I laughed about your Slayer hoodie, you're too funny! Not many even who Slayer is. I can't help you with the Disney wedding information, but I think it would be a great idea!

I love the plate too, what a cute idea! Where did you get the little bags you put the avon skin so soft stuff in? I've been on the hunt for some of those bags to put the advil, pepto, bandaids, etc in for our OOT bags but haven't been able to find any.

I love your idea for the catamaran cruise for the rehearsal idea, fun!! I think the pearls would be really pretty with the J Crew dress!

I love the dress, very very pretty!!

I can't fit into the bridesmaid dress I ordered for the July wedding, so I'm totally stressing out. Maybe we can help eachother and get some of this weight off before our Nov weddings PM me or you can email me at [email protected] ! Sounds great, I will email you now!!

Not good, I hope your luck turns around soon! If you end up having to buy a new one, you might consider Costco we just got ours from there it's 52 inches and we got a great deal on it! Plus they give you a free 2 year extended warranty.

Wow that's great! My mom and I are flying down first three days prior, so we haven't booked our tickets because we couldn't get them in the group rate since our dates would not be the same. I keep watching and thus far we haven't been able to get a good deal on the two extra tickets we need. I'm hoping the prices will drop some as it gets closer. If we were to pay the price they're giving now we'd be paying almost double what we're getting with the group rate.

I was sooo glad she honored it for me. But she wouldn't honor the extra 20% off she said it was either or, so I figured I should be happy with atleast getting the $50 off... and she offered to do free shipping so I really only ended up paying about $25.00 more. Still a great deal! I'm sooo glad you shared it with us!

Fabulous pictures!!

The sale is over now. I called today and tried to purchase another one for myself, since the first was for my mom. The supervisor honored the price for me but said the sale went off yesterday. It's still $299.00 you just don't get the additional $50.00 off. Which I think is still a great deal!
