Well, let's see...my wedding is before yours and I still HAVEN'T PICKED MY GOWN!!!! Every bridal salon I've been to has said 3-5 months. Sometimes they lie to the designer with the wedding date to make sure it arrives on time! Hopefully I will have my chosen within the next couple of weeks and have it ready to alter in November!

THAT isn't too bad. Other people are telling me 6-9! That freaks me out! Our wedding is in 8 months and while I've got two dresses i'm trying to sell them. I bought them on ebay and think they're pretty but I just don't feel special and happy in them. My fiance told me that if I lost 25 pounds he would buy me ANY dress I want!! (I wanted to lose the weight anyway, here's great motivation!). So I was wondering how long I had to lose some pounds before I needed to order...

Oh! Well, good luck! I tried on close to 200 and was just so darn confused! I feel like starting back over at square one without anybody else around so I know if its what I want or if it's what somebody else wants.

Every bride I've known got their dress in the 3-4 month range. It really depends on who you decide to go with and how pushy your bridal store is. Hmmm...your FI said he'd buy you any dress you want if you lost 25 lbs...I honestly don't know how I feel about that. I hope you don't decide to lose weight because of a dress and especially not because your FI is in a way bribing you. I've always struggled with my weight and it's finally come to me realizing that I want to be healthy and full of life and energy, especially when we decide to start a family. Good luck with your dress and your weight loss, just don't drive yourself nuts over how a dress would look if you were thinner. I suggest you find what you love and feel good in now...that way it can be ordered and if you lose, it will be altered. And if not, it will fit like it does now. Did you order your dresses new or used on Ebay? That can be a deciding factor. And did you try them on first before ordering? You'd be surprised what looks good, try something unexpected. So many brides on the forum think they know what they want and then try something totally different and fall in love with their gown. Let me know what happens :)

      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!
