Am I the only one not liking this new beach gazebo? I'm waiting on a response from my WC about whether the older set up can be used. If it can't I have to find a new resort. Any suggestions? I had a great game plan and now I have to start over.

Has everyone seen the new beach gazebo? It's pretty much a gazebo on the beach. Guest are still in the sand, but everyone else is under the gazebo. You can't have the old beach set up. So my vision of saying my vows in the sand can't happen. So disappointed!

Major congrats and blessings! So excited to see pictures and hear how it all went!

Amazing job!  And the price breakdown is extra inspiring to DIY!  I

Very cool link! Thanks!

I already consider myself the "off beat bride".  I don't like rules and confinement into a norm.  Gratefully my family understand that and support me.  My bridesmaids are wearing simple dresses, but with colored petticoats.  And if I can convince FI, everyone in chucks! If not, my son & I will wear them for sure. I am just starting planning but the ideas I have so far, are raising some eyebrows!

I just got an email for 10 off 25 and 20 off 50! If anyone wants the codes, PM me! You can use it with you groupon and really save a killing!

Dw bride - can you use a dowel cut to size to stand them on, and put them in a bud vase? there has to be some alternative... let me keep thinking.

 

 

LOVE the idea, Allie! That would be cute too!

I thought it was just me. Watching SYTTD was interesting...from the outlandish dresses...to the evil support systems....to the indecisive brides...Great entertainment...no inspiration. My mom has agreed to buy my wedding gown just as she did my sister. Now I Know if my dress cost about a grand she would get it (her's was almost 2)....but I am frugal...very frugal and couldn't bear to pay that much for a dress I would wear one day. I don't see me passing it down. And having thousands of dollars hanging in my closet just didn't make sense (my mom's closet currently has her and my sister's gowns and I have NO interest in wearing either but trying to incorporate them both somehow). I was referred to lightinthebox.com and my mom & I spent hours looking. I always knew what I wanted and I found THEE dress!

I thought picking a date would be easy.  Originally we wanted it on the anniversary of us dating. But then we didn't...We were suggest June between our bdays (I'm the 16th he's the 27) But June is already a busy month...April is dedicated to my son...So recently I am have been playng with the idea of New Year's Eve! Feedback?

Very nice!! I plan to do a guestbook, but just a tad different!

My exact idea along with a shovel for the ring bearer! (Where am I finding this shovel is the question?!)

The idea I had was kind of random. I thought of the flower girls carrying buckets rather than baskets , so why not have the ring bearer carry the shovel.  I def don't want to do a pillow and everyone does the shell.  I just have to figure how to get the rings to stay on the shovel.  Been really thinking of a sea shell in the sand on the shovel. Feedback or pics?

SUPER CUTE IDEA!!! Never would have thought about that!

This past year I had my 1st experience with Spiked Egg Nog! My cousin and I didn't realize how much we had until we tried to play the Wii...Much fun though.  This year I am thinking a martini bar! We do a game night at my parents'

Hey Cherina! I am champagne & orange "with a touch of chocolate" This was a serious pillow talk debate.  He wanted just the chocolate & ivory....I need color! I begged for color...A few months later he says...we should do an orange too ...I reminded him that it was suggested long ago!! LOL I love your palette

Beautiful!!!!

i am loving reading the post here.  Great advice! I am going to read from beginning to end!

I am very afraid!! But it is all worth it in the end!

I'm not this far along yet, but I am sure I will look like this or worse, esp since I plan to DIY a lot! And I am already a crafty person and have stashes like this after 1 trip to a craft store.

I've been saying for a while that I was going to share a picture of my wedding stash with all of you.. So here goes..

 

 

I hope my fiance doesn't find this thread, I refuse to let him walk into my craft room. lol.. Only from the fear of him fainting and breaking something.. lol

 

My flowers are all at my moms house along with more vases. And I haven't ordered chair sashes yet..

 

In the boxes... I have my pink and orange OOT bags and in the other boxes are all my OOT goodies. Also paper for the programs and dinner menus, so I can consolidate my stash a little bit once those DIY's are complete. )

 

Can't wait to see everyone else's stash!! I know I'm not alone. lol

Love it!! Looks like fun! Where did you get your travel mugs from?

YAY I have been waiting a long time for this, maybe I should have just paid to be a supporter so that it didnt take this much work, although I am not sure that I would have contributed as much if I didnt have to work for it, and then I wouldnt have been ablt to share and talk toa ll of you!!!!!!! Templates here I come!!!!!

Congrats!! Some people have over thousands of posts!! How did they do it!

I wonder if some of the resorts havethis as an option.  If not, I think a polaroid camera would be fun!
