Don't get too discouraged about your dress before you even get to start looking! They don't all cost a small fortune and I can say that my dress, including all costs for alterations and everything, was still under $1000. I'm not sure how small a budget you've got but you'll find a dress you love that fits it don't worry!

Like I said before - whatever you wear he will think your beautiful -
check out Ethos on 17th - I went with my GF a few weeks ago and they have a TON of plus size dresses - they looked great on her - so they will look great on you too!!!

Def go try on dresses to find out what looks good - I thought I knew what style I wanted, and realized the style I wanted - well it didnt want me I guess...lol....Just go in there with a great attitude and you will find your dream dress. Just dont let the sales ladies show you anything over and above your max limit - bc that will be when you find a dress that you LOVe and cant afford it - then nothing will compare to that dress and you will neve be happy with anything you pick. It worked great for me and I am happy with my choice.
You will be beautiful in whichever dress you choose - your FI wont care - he just wants to marry you - you probably could be wearing a paper bag and he would still be happy and think your beautiful. Dont stress over the dress too much - I know its a big deal...but you will find the right one for you!

Good luck!
Jenny you are too funny. The dress came before the proposal. Good advice too. I'm living proof you should not try on dresses that are not in your budget. Now, not only am I seriously considering buying the expensive one, I've already bought a budget friendly one too! And that is definatly NOT budget friendly.

Tomorrow is the day I'm going back to visit my "dress that got away". Not sure what I'll do yet because if I really want it, I need to order it like yesterday. Stay tuned tomorrow....

totally off topic ladies - can anyone suggest a fabulous hairdresser in town?

 

preferably in the SE, but i could venture elsewhere if need be.

 

i have decided to cut my almost waist length hair back into a pixie cut (yes, before the wedding)...and being new to town, i haven't had my hair cut here yet. and when going for such a drastic change, i don't want a friggin hair-student to do it...lol

 

thanks!

haha....your hilarious....I love it ..."the dress that got away"...well I feel for you...just remember - your only going to wear it once.....I bought the expensive dress my first wedding - and all it did was collect dust in a box in my closet after the wedding. I never wore it or saw it again.
Remember you will look beautiful and stunning in any dress -he hasnt seen it so hewont know any different either. He wont care - so long as your there marrying him. Why pay for the expensive dress when you already have one - put that money towards something else....just a thought.

Either way - have fun visiting the dress...lol - your too cute!

Boo - Wow, your dress is AMAZING. I love it, and when I go dress shopping I'm sure I will try one on just like it, just not sure it will fit me right!

 

Kayley - Awesome planning thread! Have fun!! Can't wait to see pictures!!!

 

MayanLily - Its tough you feel not right about your dress, I would definitely sell the one you have now and find THE one!!

 

Pam - I haven't started dress shopping yet either, so I don't even know what prices consist of but you will find the one for the right price! :) Happy shopping, I'll be in the same boat soon enough!

      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!
