This was an AMAZING thread to read!! Great ideas... Thanks so much for sharing!!

Waiting on the edge of my seat to see some pics!!!

Awesome!! Emailing her right now!! Thanks for the help!! What would I do without this site???

Those look great!

No they didn't personalize them there.... I know I saw that online though... I will have a look into my notes!

Good Luck!!! Can't wait to see a pic on you - Don't make us wait tooooo long!!! I have my fingers crossed for you that it will come in perfect!! And question to all.... I am fairly big chested - I've ordered a strapless lacey dress from Jasmines( Maggie Soterro - Arabella), Will it come with some sort of built it bra of sorts? Or is that wishful thinking? Can you have something like that put in? I'm living in Asia and they do not cater well in the lingerie department above a B cup... thoughts?

I like the pose!! hehe LOVE THE DRESS though!! Especially the bling on the shoulder - very nice!

First of all... What's a pork rind? And second of all - I know - MEN... Drive me nuts, my FI is the same... He has completely lost his beer belly in no time flat.... We go to the gym together... he even takes more break days then I do... and gobbles down huge bricks of cheese at 10pm - It just keeps falling off of him... Me on the other hand.... I fight for every little morsel of weight loss... Anyways good place to vent!! haha Allie - Congrats!! 13 lbs is awesome!!

Hey, I just bought sunglasses for my guests as well.... It took me a VERY long time to find what I wanted and I ended up buying them online from US and having them shipped... Which yes, was expensive - I bought 60 pairs - in assorted bright colours - Was $124 - plus $60 on delivery. So, $3 each... I guess not sooooo bad.... They are nice glasses though. www.hbsunglasscompany.com

Hi, Just wondering where you would be mailing from? Thanks!

Just letting you know - My FI totally went with the first one too... man's opinion!

FIRST ONE!!! Looks gorgeous on you!! VERY flattering in all the right places!! Without a doubt!! Make sure you tell us which one you were leaning towards....

Sorry, but about the plastic beads again - I see that the examples of comparison have been taken down between plastic and glass... I was told that the pearls are the only thing they do in plastic... I'm wondering if I should just nix them? The glass definitely looked more luxurious!

I think that your writing is very clear - they will definitely get the gist of it... Strange how it fits that Mannequin - Cause a size 12 is all about the curves!! (in a good way!)

I'm totally wondering the same thing... I'm in mid-production right now - they haven't started the beading... I definitely want the more beautiful crystal beads, I wonder if I should just make that clear to them now... Save the plastic for the flower girls!! haha

We are doing shot glasses - which is a bit of a logistics nightmare - considering how heavy they are going to be... Haven't quite sorted that part out yet!!

@Tink - LOVE the dress! Can't wait to see you in it!

Welcome RFFL! And good luck with April - It seems to be a busy time in Dominican! Congratulations!

Wow Mayrose! Thanks for sharing with us!! Your colours are amazing!! And you look stunning!! Beautiful wedding... Even if it wasn't exactly how you planned - it was gorgeous! Lots of guests too!! How did you get Castaways?? Was that because of the weather or had you planned it?

@Rawalter - Gorgeous!! That dress fits you PERFECTLY!! Very lovely!

I know this has been mentioned before, but without a garment bag from Jasmine's - how is it delivered? Would you suggest ordering the garment bag? Is it good for traveling? Hide the dress? Thanks!

Wow, Thank you SOOOO much for your help - You have NO IDEA!! I totally see what you are saying... Do you think at this point they can adjust the neckline? I don't really understand about the rouching... like it stands out more? I think they mentioned an underskirt... Didn't really think about that - so, yeah that would make it sit much nicer... In the photos off of the Maggie Soterro website, the dress had only a half corset, with a zipper... I just told them to make it the same. I want to have skin under the lace, but didn't want my butt showing! haha Thanks for taking the time to help out a fellow bride! Really appreciate it!

THANKS FOR THE HELP LADIES!!! I'm lady-less at the moment living abroad... This is VERY helpful!

Maybe the front isn't hanging quite straight at the bottom? The lace looks a bit uneven at the bottom back? Is there a difference in the colour at the back?(Maybe it just needs an underlay?) Will it come in more at the knee when I have it on?? I haven't even tried this dress before - or any dress really!!

Has anyone from Canada mailed things to the resort?? Was it expensive?
