YAY!  I'm so excited right now!  I just booked our TTD photographer in Cozumel.  We're using Tati Biermas- has anyone heard of her?  She is coming to the beach we had planned on going to for our excursion.

Here's her website:  http://www.weddingphotographycozumel.blogspot.com/p/trash-dress.html

Also, for anyone that has done TTD pics, any helpful hints / tips would be appreciated!

I hope our Dollar Tree has the first aid kits!  Thanks for sharing!!

I just did a search on Ebay and the cheapest I could find was $50 dz.  Does anyone know of a cheaper seller?

Really good- thanks for sharing!

We also went with wedding wire- http://www.weddingwire.com/Tinaandbill

I found it a lot easier to set up than some of the other sites.

I love it!  I actually got my ring bearer a "ring security" shirt to wear for the rehearsal dinner, haha.

OMG I own these shoes and they are my absolute favorite shoe!!

Your hangers are gorgeous!!  I have some wire in my craft box- I think I'm going to try to do one tonight.

Can I ask what vendor online you bought your TTD from?

Hey there!  I see your wedding is coming up- yay!!  Can you pretty please post your TTD pics when you get back?  I'm thinking of a very similar dress for ours.

y wedding, I am posting pictures. I got my dress from DhGate, seller Weddingdress88. The total cost for me incuding shipping was $189. I did not need one alteration, as it was perfect. The pictures do not do it justice, but the beading was amazing and intricate.

 

 

 

Here is the original:

My entire bridal party cost for what is shown is this picture, including suits was under $600! For some reason, when I uploaded these on here it destroyed the picture quality. The actual pictures are really much better:(  It was a dream wedding beyond my wildest expectations. I am SOOO happy that I chose to go the custom made route instead of paying the $2000-3000 for the original. It is something I will NEVER regret.  Side note: by using Weddingdress88, I was able to get all 3 bridesmaids dresses (one is not shown) and my dress for the price that my dress alone would have been at Jasmines.  

Girl I can't believe nobody commented about this! Your dress is AMAZING!  I am emailing weddingdress88 tomorrow with these pics! You look gorgeous- I can't believe what a great job they did on that dress!

Love your dress!

I'm so sorry about your BIL.

Your wedding was absolutely beautiful!

Love your STD's!  

Thank you so much for all of the inspiration!  Love the idea of giving the kids the photo scavenger hunt.

Loving all of your DIY projects!  Everything is beautiful.

Your pics are beautiful, and I love your colors!  So sorry you got sick- that's awful! I hope you guys get to enjoy the free week to make up for it.

That cake is gorgeous!

We are hoping to have the cruise ship replicate something along these lines.  I tried to keep it super simple, so there's less change of it getting messed up.

I love the coral and grey combo!  And those dresses are amazing.  We're doing coral, teal, and grey.

Our invites look almost the same, aside from the color!  Did you use Vanessa's template? 

Your invites came out adorable!  Thanks for the inspiration!

Hey everyone!

Well, we're down to 229 until our wedding aboard the Carnival Paradise.  Plannings been going great! I recently got a big haul of stuff from VP that I want to share, including our OOT bags and engagement party invites.  Hopefully it will be helpful to someone! 

These are our OOT Bags.  I got them from VP using the groupon/coupon code combo for about $1 per bag!

Rack cards to use for door hangers.  I'll punch two holes at the top and tie a ribbon so they can be hung from the cabin doors.

Invites for our engagement party!  We're doing a fiesta (taco & margarita party) to get people in the mood for Mexico since our cruise is going there. I had these designed in Etsy and then uploaded them to VP for cheap printing.

The back of the invites- I love the stash's. 

We used these to decorate the front of the envelopes.  I didn't take a pic but they came out so cute.

That's all for now.  We're currently working on designing our passport invitations, which are almost done.

Congrats to you!! 

Hi Megan!  I'm not sure if you are still on the boards here but I just wanted to thank you so much for all of your tips and ideas!  You've helped our planning tremendously.

Just wanted to mention that there are sellers on Etsy who make monograms for cheap as well. These mugs are fantastic! I'm super jealous of the price you got- they're more expensive now.

I think you ladies have convinced me to do a TTD session!  Hopefully I can find the knock-off thread!
