There was quite a bit of layers under the dresses. I tried about 10 dresses. I think I have the shape down, which is a good thing. But Priscilla's is going out of business and this weekend they have some dresses for $111, so will probably go tomorrow.

Really pretty and sparkly.

Hello ladies - I'm back from the sample sale and more confused than ever. ALL dresses are heavy!!!! The problem is the lining on some are SATIN. Seriously.... A chiffon dress with a satin lining... Come on! I tried on some and at least I have a better idea as to what shapes I like. Sweetheart neckline, fit and flare. Or... Sweetheart, empire waist, chiffon with bling... Problem with the last was that it was a bridesmaid dress that I tried on but can be made in ivory.

Exquiste02 - The dress looks perfect. Thank you so much for your review. I asked earlier if anyone had tried on dresses before they purchased online, but this is the first response and OMG... Amazing. I have opted to try on dresses (sample sale) and if I find the right one that is outside how much I want to spend, I will definitely be looking to get it online. Again.... The dress is amazing and it looks great on you. Cheers to you for knowing what you want and getting it done without outside influences deterring you from doing it your way.

Cant wait! Sample sale Saturday and they actually sell the dress I've been looking at, but it's in organza, not chiffon. Can't wait!!!

Ericka - Can you please email me at [email protected]

Thanks for all the feedback. Sorry about the delay my FI thinks I spend too much time on the computer, but this site is so addicting. I'm going to a sample sale next Saturday. I have to try on dresses! I'm really excited to do that. Thanks again and I will let you know what I think.

Super cute bags. Looks like you have EVERYTHING covered.

I'm just starting my search for the PERFECT wedding dress for a beach wedding, just before sunset. Chiffon, Lace, Organza, Satin? Ugh! Chiffon will give you that picturesque look with the breezes on the ocean, right? What are your thoughts? I haven't tried on dresses since the 90's, so help me out ladies.

FranticBride - I agree. I can't wait. If anyone has the attachment, please send to me at [email protected].

Try this one: I found it at http://www.classybride.com/

Wow! I was just looking at starfish necklaces and in between they had some for girls but I didn't remember the website. So I decided to google it again for you. You didn't give a budget, so I found two: http://www.starfish-project.com/girlscrystalstarfishnecklace.aspx#!prettyPhoto http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002E4UDSY/ref=asc_df_B002E4UDSY1734579?smid=A143G35J0C09PO&tag=dealtmp1-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395105&creativeASIN=B002E4UDSY I hope this helps. Everything I was looking for was for women. Sorry, I hope it helps.

Great job.... I'm looking for ideas to ask my MOH and this is right up there as the best. Congrats and happy planning.

Okay ladies.... I need some help. Did any of you try on the original dress or go dress shopping before ordering the knock off? I'm considering ordering a dress from iweddingdressshop.com but have not gone dress shopping yet. These are the two dresses i'm looking at..... http://www.iweddingdressesshop.com/wedding-dresses/strapless-chiffon-with-beading-wedding-gown-iwdb030.html http://www.iweddingdressesshop.com/wedding-dresses/strapless-bodice-with-shirred-panels-beaded-charmeuse-bands-at-neckline-empire-shirred-fly-away-panel-on-front-skirt-weddingdressesiwd8224.html Let me know what you think.

Very pretty set.

We're getting married in October. We chose this time primarily so that we don't get caught up in the "Spring Break" crowd, kids will be back in school, baseball and football seasons are over (our 14 yo plays both sports), and it's not too warm. Since we are getting married in FL, all of this has it's place. Also, both of us have been married before. I was married in winter and him in summer. Logical choice.

I'm a lace girl, so I like Dress C. But you look great in all three dresses.

No dresses showing up yet MrsDesz.

It's going to be a while before I hit 150, but I'm just in the beginning of my planning stages. I will be patient.

I can't remember what website it saw this, but I saw a clam shell ring box which closes as to not lose the rings. It's something similar to this http://www.decobelle.com/0ak1003.html, but it has pearls and ribbons. I personally don't want white, but it is something to look for.

I don't expect a large party, but I plan on sending a newsletter since they will primarily be staying just the weekend. I'm sending one after the save the date, but before the invites, then another about a month before the wedding.

that's not bad for an AI.

This is very informative. What about a travel agent who helps with the travel arrangements for you and your guests?

Jenna - be sure that the speeches aren't too long because the worst thing is to be hungry while someone is talking. I've been to many weddings that the speeches were long and I was starving even after the cocktail hour.

I can't wait to get 150 posts. I've guess I just have to respond to every post I read.
