I love the shells look too! But think I spent too much on the OOT bags fo this to happen. Oh well, it does look beautiful though! Good luck ladies!!

You guys are too cute! I have never heard of the sleeps reference and was wondering what was up. Now I am learned - LOL!! Good luck with everything & happy planning! Just take some deep breaths and remember, as long as you are there together with those closest ones around you, supporting you, then it will all be as it should!

Sweetluna pretty much summed it up! I cdnt have said it better myself. Congrats & happy planning!!

Congrats! There is definitely a plethora of info here! But I assure you, that you have made the first best decision in your planning by signing up for this site! I know I couldn't have done my planning without it! Just don't stress, it will all work out! Have fun!

So, I just got my flight together for my visit April 14th 5pm - Wed. & leave bright & early on Monday the 19th. I really only have Wed. nt (just me) & Thurs. nt (my fiance & I) then we are heading to the Telus Ski fest Friday & Sat. so the more the merrier! It looks like we are making the 6 day road trip June 3rd-9th. So tentatively we will be there June 9th!! Simistar- You said you will be out of town most of April....So let me/us know if this tiime works or not! I would love to at least go to dinner/drinks Wed. night just the girls or Thurs. nt my fiance and I cd meet up as a group/couple thing?!! Just let me know ladies! I can't wait!

Everything looks absolutely fantastic! You did a great job! Love your colors!! Congrats!!

I found the easiest way is to create an account thru photobucket & then upload the pics to your Album and then once uploaded you can copy the IMG link and then just paste it into your reply! Hope this helps!

NicoRuskies - Sounds great! I am sure we can find some time to at least have a drink with all of the festivities going on! So, I have finally ordered the paper lanterns 30 (green, aqua & orange from paerlatnerns & Lunabazaar- $87) & the Welcome postcards (stole the idea from Patti- Thanks girl!!) for the OOT bags (Target $2.50 each - blue & green) that we will hole punch & attach to the handles ($22.90 from Vistaprint for 100 - that was the smallest amount to order, but got the order 50% off, so it was worth it)! I have attached pics of the Welcome cards. My fiance & I came up with the wording together! I love it!! We are ALL sooo close! It is creeping up, but I can't wait!! Hope you all are having a great week! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks ladies! This helps soo much!!!

Great new info ladies!Thanks!! My time is getting ever so close and I feel I still have much to do! I can't wait for our BIG day and experience!! Getting super stressed & excited!

Thank you sooo much for the review!! Absolutely breathtaking!! You guys look great!! Congrats on the babino!!! Yey!! So happy for you both!! I am getting sooo excited for our BIG day!! Hey girl! Don't forget that if you still have some paper lanterns, to shout at me!! I need an excuse to come to Charleston anyway!! Best of luck to you both!! :-D

This is really great! You did alot of research! It looks fantastic!! Great job!!

Super cute! Great job!! I am working on mine now!! Can't wait to get them done...the fiance keeps saying..."watch your budget, baby"! LOL!! So, I guess I will have to stop shopping soon, too!!

Congrats & welcome! You definitely found the right site! We are getting married May 30th in Tulum, Mexico at the Dreams Resort & Spa. We choose this location because it wasn't in the hustle & bustle of Cancun, as well as several other reasons (mainly cost-all-inclusive)! I am only 3 onths and less than a week away and I will be posting a review when we get back...so maybe that will help...as well as the other ladies on here! Good luck & happy planning!!

Absolutely fantastic!! You did a bang up job!! Congrats & thanks for the inspiration!!

Thanks! I am heading out to do recon shortly!! Michael's will be one of my stops now!!

Sweetie I am so sorry to hear about all of this! I don't really know what to say, as many of the ladies on here have really said it all....Stay strong and believe in yourself and stay true to who you are and trust that! I wish you both the best of luck! Take care!

Wow!! These kick bootay!!! I so wish I had the creativity and organization to pull this stuff off. Oh well. You did a great job! They are awesome! Congrats!!!

Thanks for the info! I will be stopping by the area stores today to see what I can find!!

Too cute! Love them!! Great job!!!

These are fabulous!! I am working on mine now!! Thanks for the inspiration! Congrats!!

OH WOW!! I guess shipping things down aren't a good idea....I guess I will have to convince the fiance that it's a bad deal. Thanks for the input ladies! As always, you have probably saved me the added STRESS! You all ROCK!!

What did you decide on for centerpieces? How many guests do you think are coming? We have 16... relatively small group. Small enough for 1 long table. Have you filled out your planning docs? Have you booked your salon appointments? I tried to schedule my hair and make up and was told that they were already booked with other brides and they hope to hire another stylist soon.... STRESS!!!! This is my first wrench in the process. I REALLY hope they fix thi. I don't want to have to do my own hair!!! Well, right now we have 15 rooms booked, but more still to come, so they say. I am just going to have clear glass cylinder vases filled with water and 3-4 real touch orchids and a big floating candle with something around the base on the table. We are going to ship a box to the hotel with the OOT stuff and centerpiece stuff (that's what my fiance wants to do, so thats what we are doing- lol). btw I found our OOT bags at Target this past Thursday!!! Yey!! They are the exact colors of green in the BM dressses and pretty close to the blue we are using!! (ONLY $2.50 each- and they are pretty big too) So happy that is done!! We haven't filled out any planning docs! I guess I will email her as soon as I submit this! Oh no! The salon needs to get it together. They should have the space/time available if they are going to book a certain amount of weddings that day. So sorry sweetie. I am lucky, one of my fiance's gf's is a wedding stylist in NYC and has offered to do my hair for the entire week. I am doing my own make-up, I think. But, I guess I need to figure out the BM hair (forgot about that). Well, good luck and sorry again for the stress...I am sure it will all turn out wonderfully in the end!!

OK ladies & Michael!! He will be in Vancouver Feb. 28th-March 4th, then we have a wedding in Florida that weekend. Then he is taking his "guys" trip to Whistler the next week, and then I will be flying up to Vancouver the 3rd weekend in March?!?!? Maybe the last weekend?!? I will know exact dates by hopefully this weekend! I am having the hardest time finding a rental home in the Surrey area (SandalGirl-maybe you have some insight for me? Maybe you can PM me some info? I would be soooo grateful!!) I have searched online through every avenue possible and our downfall at this point is our 3 labs (all adult, trained, clean, non-destructive). EVERY home that looks nice, of course says, NO PETS! We are willing to put down a high deposit and make an addendum to a contract that we would replace any damage or flooring, etc... in order to reassure any landlord that we will take care of the property. If anyone has any info or knows of any property managers that would be willing to help us, I would be forever in your debt!! PLEASE HELP!!! Thank you all again for your continued support! I am still VERY excited to move to the area!!!! YEY!!! Hope you all are having a great week!! TTYS!

These are fantastic!! Great job!!!!
