Island Bride

hmm.. i have yet to hit up the dollar tree but its a great idea!

yay! oh my gosh, i love it! great idea!!

can we make it for the instinct too lol. even though Tammy just said its not happening it was definitly a great idea!

I LOVE maggie! I knew from the moment I saw this gown [Reese] on a model at a bridal show that it was going to be mine! It took me foreverrrr to actually find it in a store to try it on! when I did I was beyond thrilled! I ordered it in November, should be here March 1st! I cant wait! Cheers to all my fellow Maggie Brides!

It was a special place that we always vacayed && where he proposed.

welcome! I definitly think you will find all the information you need right here on this site!

everything looks awesome! your swine flu ceremony was too cute! i must ask, where did you get your 'live' 'laugh' 'love' signs at? I just tried to do a search and cant find any I would love to put something like that on my cake table thanks for you inspiration!

AHHH, theres SO much I wanna buy from you but I dont have a paypal account! Gonna make the FI set that up when he gets some time off because I cant let all these awesome things pass me up!

I adore your barefoot sandals! Might I ask where you got them?

OH MY GOSH, i must ask.. where did you get the heart shaped palm leaves under your centerpieces? I was just going to use regular ones but the heart shaped ones look so much better and fit the occasion better

So I LOVEEEEE your tiara, but I already got one but starfish is my theme so I wish I would of read this awhile ago! By the way, where did you get the flower girl and ring bearer attire because it is EXACTLY what im looking for! I found something similar awhile back and forgot the website!

LOVE this thread by the way.. i just read the whole thing! Nothing better to do when you cant sleep than come on BDW website! Anyway.. I actually bought my Maggie "Reese" dress before reading this so I did pay all that money, but I've decided I DO NOT want to trash that dress and any of you that know what the dress looks like would understand So I want a seperate TTD.. I cant seem to find the one I want anywhere! Not used..nothing. I want the Maggie Sottero "Melanie." I just messaged Landy's bridal and they want almost $400 for it and I dont want to spend that much on a dress that I will wear one hour to trash! Since some of you are a little more advanced at this maybe you can help me! I am writing gianinarbridal soon after this to get a quote from them! At max I was looking to spend $150! Maybe I am crazy and thats too cheap, but I already spent lots of money on my Reese! Which I might add is the awesomest DW dress! I highly recommend it!! Thanks so much girls!

so maybe ill win the award for the least time together? lol engaged at 2 years married at 3 years! known him since middle school and we used to date and I would dump him all the time funny how things work out!

Aw, i really wanted to do sandals! good luck! it looks so awesome! i've seen pics of past weddings and i cant say anything bad about the place!

I actually didnt see the reviews. Were they good?

i LOVE your ceremony dress!

aw! at least he hung in there thru all the trials and tribulations! i think i would of gave up and said maybe this isnt meant to happen!!

10/10/10! what an awesome idea! I hope you chose that day because that would be an awesome memory! I actually live in florida so if I can be of any assistance to you, let me know!

Welcome! I also just joined this forum and so far its been an awesome help! I hope you get as much out of it as I have so far!

I just came across a webiste called Wholesale - Buy China Wholesale Products from Chinese Wholesalers on DHgate.com. They sell Maggie Sottero dresses REALLY cheap and I want one for my TTD shoot. I was just wondering if anyone has ever ordered from this site, and if is legit. I believe its a chinese website so im a little confused on the currency also!

LOVE these ideas! I totally think im gonna steal the Mission Impossible idea! The only real fun thing I had planned for the wedding was the 'shoe game' if any of you know what that is!

Tommy Bahama! YES! ha, now i know were not the only crazy ones that spent hundreds of dollars at that location! Great place for guys beach wedding clothing though if you got the extra money to spend!

Ahh.. my favorite thread yet. Pets! Well, after I read all of your posts, I guess your all going to be very envious of me My dog IS part of my wedding! But Im getting married in the states, Florida to be exact! And I cant tell you its been easy trying to get my dog involved in my very special day because it has NOT! Though she is allowed at our ceremony and pictures afterward, she must leave after that. I offered to pay extra money.. they wont budge! So, my FI's mother is staying outside of the resort where their is a pet friendly place to take care of my pooch! I'm a little scared about that because my FI's mom has her best friend staying with her who is terrified of my dog. The last thing I want to be worrying about is someone neglecting my poor baby. I dont want the thoughts of my dog being locked in the bathroom running thru my head while im trying to enjoy my day! I'm trying to get my mom to stay outside the resort because I would feel comfortable with my precious k9 in her hands, but she is determined to stay with me!

I love how you used your grandmas necklace to decorate your bouquet. I was trying to figure out something special to do being that my grandma passed away too I was thinking of using the charms that are pretty popular, but i think i like your idea better! thanks for sharing!

i have alot of the same things as all of you, but the one im most excited about.. MY DOG! My dog, who is basically my furry child, is walking with our BM & MoH down the aisle! Its going to be interesting because my dog is 130lbs of muscle (rottweiler) so it will be more like SHE is walking our BM & MoH!
