If your dress is tight you could also go with the "commando thongs". I have several pairs and you cannot see any pantie lines. Commando* - *Neiman Marcus I've also heard "hanky panky" brand is good for no lines. Hanky Panky - Low Rise* - *Neiman Marcus

While trying to figure out how to create the bookmark/key card holder for Vista Print I found a Microsoft Template using Publisher to print my own bookmarks. I just customized them with a saying, put our names and wedding date on them. I'm going to print them out and laminate them. For those who cannot download yet, here's a screen shot of what the file looks like. I'll post again once they are done. tropical bookmark.pub

We are going to have a Cigar Table at our wedding and I wanted to come up with a cute sign to put on the table to let the guests know they can enjoy the cigars.. I'm not very creative so I'm looking for suggestions/sayings for my Cigar Table. Thanks -Andrea-

Does anyone know what template to use or how to set this up on the vista print web site? I have the keycard holder template and customized it for my Aruba guests but I was going to use this keycard/bookmark idea. Has anyone been able to figure out what template she used for VistaPrint? Thanks -Andrea-

Jannae, You look great in that dress!! It's such a minor flaw in the 2nd dress you can't really tell too much in pictures unless you point it out.

I sent them an email on Fri, and they replied right away, apologizing and told me the new proof photos would be sent in three days. I am sure they just forgot about it!!! I am impressed that they always seem to reply quickly, but I just thought anyone who is ordering a dress, or going to order a dress needs to email, email and email!! I am glad that I fibbed and told them I need the dress for July rather than the actually.. but if my wedding was actually in July I would be FREAKING OUT right now!! I almost had Gianninar make some changes to my dress but after reading other's say it took 3 weeks to make the changes, I emailed Gianninar back and asked them to just ship it out to me. I only had 2 very minor changes so I'm just going to take the risk and have them send it out as they made it. I don't have a lot of time since my wedding is in 5 weeks... I'll post pics of me in the dress when I receive it. They told me I should have it by the end of this week.. -Andrea-

You are gonna look fabulous. Which etsy seller did you use for your veil? Hi Janine, I used Bella Bridal Veils by BellaBridalVeils on Etsy for my veil. I may email her to see if I can get a white one since I think the white may look better than the Ivory one I got, with the dress I had made...

Quote: Originally Posted by roxyqt I just adore your dress!!!! It looks amazing!!! They did a great job, from the pictures everything looks good!! What material did you go with? I am thinking about having a knock-off made for a short party dress for the evening (we are getting married in Key West and after the reception we are hitting Duval St. for a fun time with our friends, I dont want to ruin my Paloma Blanca in Hogs Breath or Irish Kevins, or any of the other fine establishment there) Thanks, I love the way it came out. I'm not really sure what material they used.. This was what she told me "we will use ,softer and thinner satin"..I guess I'll see what it's like when I receive it..

Maureen, How was your visit??

I just bought this dress at Nordstroms for $178 for my Civil Ceremony in Aruba. It's so cute on, I just LOVE it!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by -ballerina- A_J_Mitchell, your dress is fantastic!! I don't see any flaws either. Have they shipped it to you? I literally Just got the email with pics today from them. I sent back 2 changes and then I guess they will ship it. I have some time since I don't leave for Aruba till the end of July. I say it was worth going through Ggianinar!!

As long as it not bright white I'll be happy with it. I have Olive skin so the white for me was just too white!! haha.. Oh and I already got an ivory veil so I wonder if it will match. I guess if it doesn't maybe I can contact the Etsy seller I got it from for a white one.. I guess we'll see once the dress comes in. -andrea-

Hi Ladies, Here's the dress I wanted to replicate with my changes I wanted. I wanted it in Ivory, but it doesn't look Ivory from the pics. Hey for $180 I'm happy with how it came out. I asked them to make 2 slight changes to the dress. I just wanted the top a little more "gathered" and the back one side near the "butt" was a little more gathered than the other side. All and all I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I'm not going to let the little things bug me.... -Andrea-

I think I want just a little more "gathering" at the top but I think that's about the only change..

MY pics have arrived.. Can you girls take a look and see if you can see any "flaws" or something that needs to be fixed. I just LOVE it!!

My new "inspiration" pics!!.

Just got this dress at Nordstroms for my Civil ceremony in Aruba.. Still waiting on my other dress to come in for the Beach ceremony. Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Chiffon & Satin Sheath Dress - View All - Nordstrom

There are a lot of great tag finds there which I believe between ink and time costs about the same as DIY. What seller did you get your tags from on Etsy? Thanks
