UPDATE!!!! Hey Ladies! Thank you for all of your kind advice, and calming words, you really helped me get through this - yesterday I was a teary mess!

 

My best friend/BM/new momma - went to a local bridal salon this morning to try on styles of dresses - low and behold, the style that best suited her was this Alfred Angelo Gown #6548 - she tried on many others - but really liked the structure that this style offered.

In comparison with the dress from J Crew that we really liked the structure is the same - but the JCrew dress is simply more beach appropriate.

In a thrilling conclusion the the most stress of the wedding thus far, I am THRILLED to report that we have ordered the JCrew dresses and they have an anticipated arrival of next Wednesday! YAY

 

This is my sister/MOH dress:

When my best friend/BM/new momma was at the bridal salon, she was told that although Alfred Angelo head office was offering early January delivery - she would not chance it - and if it was her call, she'd order from JCrew to ensure that the packages were indeed here with plenty of time for alterations.

 

In every stressful situation I try to find the bright side... in this there were many.

 

1. my best friend/BM/new momma stated that she was really thankful that I gave her the time to be sure about the dress, and time to run around and try stuff on, she feels confident about the decision and is really excited to see the order upon arrival.

 

2. my florist Bridal Blooms by Laura has been super accomodating, her most recent email to me said

Quote:
Don't worry we can change the flowers, but if you find a bridesmaids dress that you love, maybe get the flowers to match the dress, that's easier. I know how difficult is to find the perfect bridesmaids' dress.

 

Let me know if there's anything I can do flower wise. If you want to wait till you finalize the dresses, I can wait too it's up to you.

I mean really how accomodating is that, I am feeling very blessed to have good vibes coming my way to get through this rough planning patch.

 

and lastly

 

#3.So I am on the JCrew website ready to process the order when I see a space for a promo code - very quickly I googled for a promo code - the letters HOHOHO popped up and I gave it a whirl.... I SAVED $97.50! Awesome! +

 

Ok... So that is the conclusion of my bridesmaid dress drama - and I managed to do it frugally! Touché!!!!

That is GREAT news!!! I am so glad that it worked out. And also, tell your BM that spanx work wonders if she still isn't feeling quite happy with how the dress looks. And since it may be slightly cooler, pashminas also help cover any uncomfortable body areas.

 

I am so releived for you!!!

 

Oh, I've been meaning to post my "wedding extras" thread to sale/get rid of all my extra stuff, but haven't done it yet. Just realized that your colors are very close to mine (blue, orange and pink), so I have pashminas in all three of those colors if you are interested. I don't know how many of each I have left, but I can count them when I get home if you want.

So glad you are not so stressed out! I think it is awesome that even though your BM was causing you stress, she was really trying hard to get a great dress for your wedding. That shows that she really does care about you. Congrats on an awesome wedding and awesome BMs and BM dresses!!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
