    Beautiful shot! The touch of yellow looks great. :)

My sister-in-law suggested to place the clips more on the side of the bun and have them clipped in so the hair flowed into the direction of the bun if that makes sense.  So instead of going horizontal we took the tracks vertically concentrating on the right side being fuller.  So my project worked and hope that helps!  Thanks for the ideas and tips ladies!

    Beachbound, I agree with the 3 tiers opposed to the 2. Especially for picture purposes. The cake will stand out more. The higher the cake is the better. We are going to have a 3 tiers and put it on top of the styrofoam to give it more height.

    Instead of the henna-like designs on the turquoise cake, we're going to do the coral designs of the second cake, but keep the hexagonal shape, colors and gold beads of the blue cake.

    I forgot to mentioned the vitamins- "Finest Prenatal Complete" I take one per day. Sometimes during breakfast or before bed.

    Someone told me to take some prenatal vitamins because they are better than regular vitamins. So I have been taking them not only to ensure I have the right amount of nutrient in my body, but when that time comes, my body will be ready. One thing I know I can do a little more now is exercising more often. LOL....

     

    Great topic, ladies!

    I know that you are far from NYC. I would suggest you check the jewelers in Diamond District in NY. I am sure they can help with anything that you're looking for. They have several stores so I am sure they can help you find something. Good luck with your search. :)

    Tennyt, that is simply gorgeous. I'm going to wear a birdcage veil as well. Being that I wear my hair short, I'm going to let my hair grow just a little longer to ensure the birdcage veil stays on my head. But I must say that this look is very chic & elegant! If I wanted hair on my head, I would definitely go with that style.

    Flowers......A (I saw a tag on the box that they came from city club (?) The other place in mexico like costco but does not require a membership. The price was quite a bit less then the hotel was charging (she could have taken the sticker off) sooooo I am sure you could get them yourself and save some money.

    I'm different and unique and I thought the theme and style were perfect so.... I will cut back some where else but not on the invitations...some people say it's just paper that gets thrown out.. but I appreciate invitations so... I'm hoping my guest do too..

    I am speaking from the heart Shari-Ann. It's the truth. If it were not for you, I probably would cancel out GVN even though that is the place I envisioned having my dream wedding and move on to another resort. Everyone must know that YOU are simply the BEST! prayer1.gif

I agree with Dellnia, you have to know where you're lines are budget-wise and be realistic about the venue. It's a 5-star spot, so they charge accordingly. Most of us want to do Mexico b/c it's cheaper, but you could end up spending the same as if in the U.S. if you're not careful. If you want a huge wedding, then GVV will be expensive. If you're ok with the nearest and dearest, then it's definitely achievable. Just have to know what you want and keep working with them. I implore you all to try and talk to Karla Aguillon-Monge. She is the absolute best! Professional and uber-sweet.

    AfricanVenus, one thing you can do is to wear the veil during the ceremony and the birdcage veil at the reception. I like the DT idea and I had no intention of wearing a traditional veil except for my birdcage veil, but now I am thinking maybe I could switch to the birdcage at the reception. We are only getting married once so, why not. I would say regardless of what your parents are saying, go with whatever your heart desire, because they have experienced their day so now it is "YOUR" day you must do you. :)

I think they're stylish, classy, and still a veil. I'm looking at a tulle birdcage veil to go with the tulle of my dress. My sister says I look like I'm trapped in a mosquito net, and I'm inclined to agree, but it's different than the Russian netting you normally see. I'm also popping it off for the reception so it'll be just about the fascinator later on. And Mr. Tutera is right, as are most moms everywhere: when else do you get to have one? :-D
