Thought I'd post a picture of the final product with the starfish charms I ordered off ebay ($7.59 for 120!!)

This is a pic of all three.. They all said yes!

thanks for all the feedback! It's been very helpful..

 This is my dress :-) :idea:

Can't wait to hear all about it!!

These are great! Going to give a try...yikes!

Thank you! I just gave another one tonight and she loved it.

Jordan this is great!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

I ordered my dress a year in advance and it took a 5 months to arrive. 

They say you should buy them a minimum for six months before, and 9 months to a year is even better. Depending on the designer, it can take that long - mine took 6 months! I think you should go for it!

cute!

These look great. I have been in contact with her about passport invitations for my wedding! Her prices seem very reasonable.  

Haha that's so true though! I like that analogy! :-)

ha ha that's hilarious but at least you are prepared!

love this cake!!!! so pretty and bright!

My fiance would like to be included on decisions and kept informed. His only real request was that we get married at an adults-only resort and he not have to wear a suit, lol, so since we have both those covered he's pretty happy I think. He likes to be a part of it and help out, but he's letting me make the decisions and trusts my judgement.  

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.  Wishing you a safe trip and a beautiful wedding!

cute!!!

If you love it then it is the right dress!! That's awesome you haven't seen any others that capture your interest.  I think that means it really is "The" dress for you!

Def. NOT too early! My wedding is 10 months away and just bought mine... the dress won't even be shipped in to the store until January! (wedding is in May). So I have from Jan-May for alterations, etc etc. I think most people have more than one fitting esp if you are planning to lose weight. Ordering sooner is one less thing to stress about  

Thank you, good to know!  I worry too I'll be buy it early and then find others I really like between now and then.  But the one I found is exactly what I want and a great price so I feel like I should just take the plunge.

well, i bought mine about 7 months before, but we got engaged then married 10 months later. i wasnt really thinking about a time period, BUT depending on the style of dress you end up with, you might need more alterations that take longer, or if your dress isnt in stock it might take a while to come in?

 

and mine had a corset back so even tho i lost weight it still fit!

Thanks!!! I hadn't thought of that but the dress I am looking at has a corset back as well so that would be nice to not have to take it in even if I did lose weight.  

I have found a dress I really want, but my wedding isn't for a little less than 11 months.  Is it too early? Like all brides, I hope to lose a few pounds before the wedding.  Just curious at what point everyone bought their dresses.  

thanks!

I'm going to have to keep an eye open for these, this is a great idea for OOT bags!

Thank you! I can't imagine planning a wedding before Pinterest was around, ha ha.
