Congrats!!! You were a beautiful bride!!

So pretty...and unique!!

This is a great idea!! I may have to steal it!! LOL

These are so nice...I'm sure your guests are going to love them. I have SOOOO much respect for those of you whom are able to create something as nice as these on your own. Well don!!

It's VERY nice!! I like it....good job!!

Karen..so happy to hear that it went so well...I am definitely planning to have my make-up done....I'm so excited...can't wait. Don't forget to share a pic or two!! I'm sure you looked gorgeous!!

I know they have tons of pictures on their websites but you know they are just the pictures of their best work. How did you guys pack your wedding dress.... I have a full sized dress so it will probably fit in one of my suit cases! HA Haven't had my wedding yet...so no pics as of yet...but I plan on taking my wedding dress with me on the plane in a garment bag.

These are gorgeous!!! What a treat your guests are getting!!

Ok...I did in fact get a new discount code..."BIGMARCH" which is good through 3/21 and is for 10% off and free shipping. Just placed my order!!! I really like this bag.

Thank you Carolina....

LOL If anyone else has a code, please share!! I also signed up to receive their e-mails so maybe I will start receiving the discount codes.

That's whom I'm booked with!!! I'm soooo excited...I keep hearing FABULOUS things about her!!

So sorry...I just saw this thread again...I could have booked through the resort, but I was able to get an outside vendor for less than half of what the resort wanted to charge. We are using the steel pan drum for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Wendy...the cost will depend upon the vendor and/or how much your resort charges. I have found that you must shop around. The prices seem comparable to the cost of a flutist/violinist....but...I shopped around and got a good rate.

Hey ladies...I live and work in Brooklyn...I'm getting married in July in the Bahamas. Luciel...have you seen the HUGE thread on the Wedding Attire board about the $99 Studio Suits? I got my FI's suit from them and will be ordering the groomsmen's suits and shirts from them too.

The linen shirt looks very thin/see through... before I order I would just like to know what everyone else is doing/has done! Thanks! Jessica I ordered the linen shirt. It was of a great quality but my fiance did not like the collar. Instead, we are going to order instead the shirts with the chinese collar.

Glad you had your shoot Sheree. Can't wait to see the shots!! I am definitely getting my make-up done professionally by Jen's person. For the people that ask, Jen shoots out of a studio at her home...so...no need to book a hotel. That can really make the difference.

OMG!! Don't know how I missed this thread...EASILY...THE most amazing invites EVER!!! Way to go!! Love these and all of the hard work you put into this. I can't believe that you made passport invites from Vistaprint.

Thanks guys...I've resorted to looking at the postage stamp to see where they came from!! LOL Hopefully, most people will sign their name...so sorry that I was too lazy to number my RSVP cards!! Live and learn.

I think she's the one you're talking about. Her work is fab and she's reasonably priced. Check out her site and you'll see. Beautiful and Affordable Photography By the way, I'm getting ready for my bd shoot with her tomorrow. A little nervous but so excited. Can't wait to see how they turn out. Sheree, I didn't know that you booked with Jen too!! A group of us are booked with her in early May. Let us know how it turns out!! To the OP...I too am a "curvy" bride and based upon what I've heard, I think Jen will be great for brides like us to work with!! Also...we were able to get a group rate, but she also came out with a discounted package...ask her if it is still available and tell her that you are from the BDW board.

Just beautiful!!! Your hair and make-up were gorgeous..as were you!! I know that you will treasure these pictures a lifetime!!!

Congrats!! You seem so excited. That is a wonderful AI rate that you were able to obtain. Happy planning!!

I got my pashmina's from here...they were great to deal with and the price can't be beat!!

Hi Ladies...we are really cutting it close now!! Sheree....great find on thos bags. Just thought I'd share...I must be losing it...I forgot two important things on our To Do list...our wedding rings!!! LOL Yikess!!! Seriously...I almost forgot about them until this past week.

Hi Ladies, I am writing this because someone posted the great tip that you should number the RSVP cards just in case folks returned them without a name attached. Well...sure enough...I was so excited and in a rush to get out my invites that I did not do this. Learn from my mistakes!! LOL Of course...half of the declines have come in to me with no name on them at all!!! It's only two so far, but my invites have only been out a bit over a week so it could get really bad. I looked at the wording of my RSVP which I will print below to try to understand why folks may not have put a name on the decline. I should also note that in both cases where this happened....they checked off the "will not attend" at the spot for the Welcome dinner and left the rest of the RSVP completely blank!! I have passport invites with a boarding pass RSVP that had a seat# on them...maybe people thought that I would know ...so many folks have asked me if I made up individual seat numbers. Maybe I should not have put the Welcome dinner RSVP on the same card. In any case, here's the RSVP...I thought I was pretty clear...maybe not: We look forward to celebrating with you. Please RSVP By May 15, 2010 Name(s)___________________________________________ _________________ Wedding ____ Will join the festivities Name(s) of guests attending________________________________________ ____Toasting from Afar-We Regretfully Decline Welcome Dinner _____ Will attend Name(s) of Guests Attending__________________________________ ______Will not attend

It looks great!!
