Beautiful dress! I love the details up top and at the waist! Yes once the fabric is let down its a 10+

WHew.. at least I am not the only one

you have definitely come to the right place for inspiration and advice. Enjoy the site and happy planning...warning, this site is addictive

I find myself on this site for hours, neglecting house hold chores, neglecting job related duties. When will the obsession end?!?!!

Pronovias is store in NYC that is based in Barcelona. They have spanish inspired dresses. I purchased my dress from there and it had the option of coming with a bolero. I chose not to get it, but it was an option. They have BEAUTIFUL dresses and the sales girls are super nice!! Good luck!

They both look nice, number 2 is looks better on you, but why do you have 3 dresses?!? or did I read that wrong. Stay away from the stores!! You will always doubt your choices if you keep looking for more answers. The one that you ALREADY purchased is nice. Get it altered and make it fit the way you want it to. Stop stressing, breathe....whoooosah...whoooosah now rub your ears and I repeat "STAY AWAY FROM BRIDAL STORES" hope this helps. You are beautiful and you wear the dress, don't let the dress or should I say dresseS wear you.

COngrats and welcome to the forum!

I will take the starfish charms, 8 packs of the place card holders and the 15 red luggage tags. Did you get those luggage tags from Michaels? I will PM you now.

I didn't mean that in a negative way, maybe I should reword that, if you took it that way, I wouldn't want anyone else to get the wrong impression. I like when people are sure of themselves. I expect nothing less.

Here is his band.. he didn't want any blingatude...boo honey. I am thinking of having it engraved "PUT IT BACK ON!!" lol

Erica-CONGRATS!!!!!! I sent you well wishes . I read your planning thread, thank you so much for that. You looked so beautiful on your big day!!

I am also really appaled that someone would register just to return stuff and get what they "really" wanted. I put the $849 tv on my registry-- not planning to get it but I want it. My 1st bridal shower is this weekend (Having 2 for each side his side and mine) and I agree that I Don't want to do all the penis gag gift stuff and going out to the bars asking for guys underwear... I did that stuff in college for goodness sakes! I want to be an adult already. My mom did one where they all had to wear their old bridesmaid dresses and that was really funny to see! Consultant huh? No wonder your sweety has an ear to ear grin. We must discuss this over shopping on next Sunday!

After much negotiating and delays, I finally booked a DJ. Have you used DJ Patino? If so what was the experience like?

My E-ring is filthy will clean and take another pic LOL

The long lost cousin pulled through!! Whooo hoooo I'm thinking.. Let's get married!! 3 cheers for all of the long lost cousins of the world who let's their relatives use their 50% off holiday discount.. hip hip...

I do think that the necklace with that large flower may compete too much with the dress.. The dress is beautiful with a lot of detail. Your accessories should be simple. IMO

Dad and Step mom helping to pay (the majority) of the AHR. When I send out invites should I... A. Just put my fiance and I's name announcing the marriage...then feel bad that I'm not acknowledging dad and step mom's generous contribution B. All parents (4)...seems silly to list them all since really only dad and step mom paying for the reception. C. Just dad and step mom announce the wedding of ect. ect. ....then feel bad because I'm not acknowledging my other 2 parents. HELP! Maybe you could use the wording... your names... followed by "together with our parents want to invite you to" ....... That way no one will feel left out or singled out, but feel like they are being acknowledged ALL sets of parents would feel acknowledged and appreciated whether they contributed or not.

OH yes, I forgot to mention.... I hit the 50% off motherload.... my cousin came through hooray for extended family that you haven't seen in over 7 years!!!

More than likely they will have them in the hotel rooms already. I say, save the .57

I ordered my rhinestones, waiting on the package to come. Yours looks great!

TeNeil, thanks for the compliment. I agree that the party should be fun. I just don't know if I want my gfriends all in my business that I know my way around adult toys..lol Just joking. I have no reservations,, I am ready to have some fun. We are also planning to have all the guests go on a club crawl on one of the nights before the wedding. Definitely NOT THE night before, I need my beauty rest goodness knows I am NOT getting any these days! SusieQ, you didn't hurt anyone swinging that bra did you? Happy you had a good time. How many numbers did you get? I know you were looking super cute. Ladies, have a Terrific Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a knot site and I don't pay anything and my guests have been able to RSVP online.

Yes, the bold admission was a bit much for my taste. I don't agree with requesting items that you don't want or need at all!! For the party, my bridal party will putting together something at my bridesmaid's social room http://watermark.wcicommunities.com/...es/social-room I have about 30 girlfriends that will get together for a professional pole dancing lesson. Food and drinks, then a passion party where someone will come in and demonstrate the latest in adult toys.. the theme "how to keep your man" I am on the fence about the whole thing. I would enjoy the pole dancing class, just for fun, but the adult toys...um.. I don't know.

Hello!! I am also a NY bride, planning a far away wedding. You have definitely come to the right place for inspiration, ideas and support to plan the dream wedding of the century. I have learned so much from these supportive, wonderful women. Have fun, happy planning and welcome to the forum!!
