We were engaged before facebook was even a thing. lol That made me feel old. but we had to tell people the old fashion way. calls and whenever we met up with each other.

there are quite a few brides that have used real touch flowers and they all loved them. you should probably do a search and i'm sure you will find something.

I would also like to know about outside florists! I wonder if I could order one or two small bouquets and split them up since I have four bridesmaids? I also just found out that there is a wedding in the same location as me TWO HOURS before my ceremony!! You could get some real touch flowers. And just bring them with you. I do believe they will let you hire an outside florist but not 100% sure. But you could use the corsages for the mothers. Just an idea. because that's what I planned on doing...although only his mom will have one and i'll just have an extra one.

I think it was meant for me to wear heels because my ceremony will be at the fountain so i'm wearing heels!!!! But if it was on the beach I would have worn barefoot sandals for the ceremony and changed into heels for the reception. But i'm going to get me some cute flats for later on in the night.

Congrats and welcome!!!! This is the best site to find any info and ideas you need. I suggest finding yourself a good travel agent and they can help you narrow it down. Just click that banner up there and one of the best TA's will contact you. Or you can just write down a list of your necessities and try to narrow it down that way! Good luck and happy planning!!!

Congrats hun!!! your pictures are beautiful!!!!!

I just posted this on NOW's facebook page. Ok ladies...if you have any questions try to be specific and number the questions. so it's not jumbled up in a paragraph. Because I just got the answers I needed!! It seems if you list the questions and number them they will answer each question specifically. I had to do that and I got the answers I needed...or shall I say wanted. lol

I thought I was the only one getting confusing emails. But I have an email from my TA with one answer. So that's fine. But I don't want her telling me I can do something but I'll have to pay extra when I get there.

Definitely!!!! check your pm!!!

And then when I asked for pictures they sent me pics of one person wedding but just different angles and they were not that great.

I want to do a shoot but I plan on going later in the year. Around December.

beautiful pictures!!!!! you looked so beautiful and happy!!! Fer did a great job!!!

Bonnie...you look GORGEOUS!!!!! That dress looks stunning on you!!! I can't wait to see the pro pics.

I started buying things for my OOT bags. I swear I don't know I didn't think to buy from vistaprint and just click on the links in the email for the free stuff. I ordered the bag, pen, key chain and note pad for $4.41!!! All I had to pay for was shipping!!! BUT...I know me! I'll end up buying something different anyway. lol

My only option here would be a davids bridal dress, and while some of them are very pretty, I can get a more detailed/beautiful dress for the same cost. Did you ladies go shopping and try on the styles you wanted before ordering the lookalike? I am going to have to, I don't know what styles will look good on my body. I may be falling in love online with a dress that wont look right on me. That's exactly what I did!!! And I went to Kleinfeld's!! I knew what style I wanted but with that style certain dresses still look different. I love the mermaid style but the bottom part of the dress has to full. I tried one and it had a plain simple bottom and I hated it!! So now I know exactly what I want and how it will look on me. But it will save me over $2000!!!

oh yeah...definitely. I've heard the excuses. I totally understand it is alot of money. But you can't save that much in 8 months I'm getting married!!! But i'm ok with that. As long as my dad is there and his parents...I don't really care who doesn't go.

Beautiful!! and that was a great idea to have the resort photog to do the TTD session!! I also love your colors!!!

Oh wow!!! Congrats!! I just got excited for you!!!

LOVE them!!!!! I love that the handles are different.

I would post your question on there and if she doesnt know the anwser she will go ask Pilar to find out the anwser. Good Luck!! i have my fingers crossed for you! FYI the only days i ever recieve emails from Pilar are Mondays and Wednesdays I am a fan on facebook. I think I will ask the question up there just to make sure. But TA Jill got the answer for me last night. So yeah we can play music and dance. That's really all I wanted to know. I'm not real picky of the location at the resort so it doesn't matter that it will be at the fountain. But I did want a real reception...with music and dancing, alot of fun. I'm just so happy I don't have to change my date!!

That dress just fits you perfectly!!! and congrats on finding it so easy!!! Congrats again for booking the resort!!!!
