They come in gold, silver, red, & black.  I went with gold since my dress is a warm color.

 

 

Big fan of the red ones.

Butterflies at the bottom? So beautiful! Very unique.

^^^Those are great colors. So many of my friends have gone with harsher (not the right word) or darker colors, like reds and blues. I love the softness of these colors.

That's an awesome idea! Forgive me, but I'm stealing it...lol

My goal is to keep the dress and all alterations around $1500. Would go as high as $2000, but hope we don't have to. Do you have any ideas of the dress you're looking for?

Haven't found it yet. But saw this one at David's bridal the other week and feel in love.

At first I was deadset against the idea. But I really like the idea now. My husband and I were thinking about going zip line during the honeymoon.

I did cuff links. He didn't have a pair and while he doesn't wear them too often, he did mention wanting a pair for formal events.

I'd like to have like 4...I think my FI is on board with that. We both like kids.

Question: What's the scariest think you've ever done?

I'm 3 years old. I know it's not much, but I never dreamed I'd date a guy that was younger than me. But here we are 4 years later engaged, so I guess age really doesn't matter.

I don't know "officially" who is suppose to get them. But I plan to get one for the officiant and my godparents...and of course everyone on the "definite" list.

Thanks for the great advice Arch713 & FIFAbride. I've started several spreadsheets already and found a great checklist. Another friend also pointed me toward theknot.com which had a great checklist with dates. How serious do I need to take those dates though? It seems I'm already overdue on several...according to them. Welcome, Melissa! Only a little ways yet to go...you must be getting so excited to near the end!

I'm a April 2013 bride. But we just got engaged, so I don't have much time to plan, eek...

My fiancee and I got engaged 3 weeks ago, and honestly, aside from setting a date (4/12/2012) and choosing the location (Key West), we really haven't done any other planning...just leaving in the moment and enjoying being engaged. I thought that maybe if I joined a forum, I'd be able to get some good idea, advice, and even get inspired to start planning. When I think about starting the planning, I have to admit I kinda feel overwhelmed and just want to look the other way. Any advice on where I should start?
