Wow, your wedding is going to be unique and beautiful as well Chandra.
What are your colors going to be?

Heather, I know how you feel. Let's just leave it at that in case anyone should Google me. Although, I make it no mystery when I am annoyed... :yelrotflmao:

Ello, it's me again, Marilyn's disappearing daughter! Classes and wedding planning on top of work has kept me from coming around. I'm getting married on June 21st and it's getting here so fast!!!!

We're doing a tropical theme, he and I very much love all things tropical so it goes great with both our personalities. Though an outdoor wedding would go great, I don't want to mess with the weather and heat issues, so we're havin it at the church building we both worship at. It's a kinda retro building but we're decorating it pretty well with palm trees and bogenvelias (sp?) and I'm making lines of flowers and crystals to hang infront of the baptistry. The bouquet is made of various tropical orchids, orange roses, and other flowers, the florist is excited to be doing it :) I'm still not sure what we're doing with the pews...but here's pictures that I have for concepts so far :D

Here's my dress, mum has the pictures of me in it, but here's the pic from the site, instead of the ivory sash it's going to be clover, the same color as the bridesmaid dresses:

The bridesmaid dresses are these colors, but are knee length:

Here's the ways I'm looking at doing my hair, more so the one that's down, I like the up one too...

Wow, June 21st, it must be hard to contain yourself! :cheer:
All of your plans look lovely, I love the color of the bridesmaids dresses :eek:
My favorite hair has to be the last one :D
Congratulations everyone :ghug: , and thank you for sharing with us.

Here's the church building, this is a friend of mine's that was at night, ours is going to be in the afternoon, there's blue stained glass behind the baptistry, and the strings of white flowers and crystals will be reflecting the colors:

I am so excited!!! I can't wait!! I'm starting to get tired of being engaged and just want to be married already :D

pope i love your dress! i was considering a vintage type dress, and i wish i had...love it!
the flowers sound gorgeous too.

here's a couple from mine in 1990:

i love everybody's pictures...going to have to go back and look at them all!

Pearl...your hubby looks a little pale in that picture! :D

Thank you. It is still six years away, but it gives me plenty of time to plan. :D

LOL! i erased his face so he wouldn't have his picture on the internet. he's an ex-hubby now.

Yes, we are doing a Celtic wedding. We are both of Irish ancestory and love the history. My colors will be white, silver and blue. We are doing a traditional Celtic handfasting ceremony and hoping to have the wedding outdoors. We also hope to have a potluck dinner, but that will be hard considering some friends will be flying in and staying in hotels. Oh well, I have time to figure it out. ;)

Thank you! I was so picky about the dress. It has to be ordered and custom made, but it is exactly what I want and my hubby said one way or another I will have it.:)

Lissa,
I love your dress, the bridesmaid dresses... the cake... everything is beautiful. Good luck!

:sidesplit: He's pale... that's cute.

*gasps* I finally hit 1000!!!!!

:laugh: Nice!
Oh Pearlie! Look at that train :eek:

i'm loving all the pictures. everyone looks great and has great ideas.

lissa i really like the second hair, very different and pretty.

Thank you!! I'm so excited! Mum keeps getting worried that I'm not getting things exactly as I want, but I love everything!!

I really like both, but I lean away from updoes, maybe I can get them to combine the two in some way :)

Everything looks so lovely, Melissa!!! If I know your Mom everything will be just perfect and you'll have a very beautiful wedding!!! It certainly looks like everything is coming together very well.

Everyone's pictures are beautiful. I love how all of the dresses are different in style and everything. Becky that veil is awesome. Where did you find something like that at?

I just did a search for bird cage veils and I came across this site;
http://www.birdcageveils.com/birdcageveils.htm

I had my heart set on this much bolder one; http://www.birdcageveils.com/birdcag..._net_short.htm
until I found my dress, then I just couldn't imagine it anymore... Thankfully, my second favorite compliments the dress perfectly :)

I can't wait until the day I have that off the shoulder dress on, my veil fluffed and placed correctly with my hair and jewelry LOL

I want the old fashioned seamed stockings with my lingerie

Haven't decided on nude or white yet though...
http://www.stockingstore.com/real-fu...g-p/la1020.htm

I cant wait to see pics. LOL! I noticed your date today and had an evil thought!!! "What if Bec gets preggers before then?" :eek:

Don't you dare speak it!

I fell in love with lingerie tonight :D I found "the one"!
http://stockingirl.com/Merchant2/mer...e_Code=miccina

so beautiful!!! now, skip the tye dye stockings!

ohhh i love that bustier! i think that the nude stockings would look nicer with the whole outfit than white ones. cause from the pics the dress looks a little off white. is it? or did i make that up lol. anyways i get a nurse vibe from white stockings. :p

They're called bird cave veils? Pretty obvious I'm not married, huh? lol Everything looks neat and very original. I like that.

lol no silky, you are right, it's off white. I found some ivory ones I added to my list of considerations, they look a little lighter than nude or beige :D

Yep Jess, make a mental note, Birdcage veils ;)

LOL Thelma, I know what to give you as a gift now :p

I'll wait by the mailbox!!!

All the pictures are so beautiful! You're all going to have very different, very wonderful weddings!

This was my wedding.

I also got my dress on ebay, which ended up kinda being a disaster, but it ended up okay.

What happened with your dress Ashley? Great pictures by the way :thumbup: Can't tell you had any kind of problem with your dress.

I love the picture of you laughing.

Here are some pictures from my daughters wedding.

http://goofywife.com/stef_glen/myalbum/myalbum.html

We had 3 weeks to plan my wedding. The dress came 2 days before the wedding and didn't fit at all. The company asked for my measurements so they could cut it to fit me (I'm really tiny), but it was sooo big on me and there were beads falling off. The dress cost $150, but after alterations I might as well had bought a dress from a bridal shop.

goofywife, she was a beautiful bride as well!

Yikes Ashley! Glad you enjoyed yourself anyhow, like I said your happiness and beauty in your pictures shined :)

Thanks!

Michelle,

Your daughter's wedding was lovely!

Yours too Amber.

Thank you!! I am very proud of her.

THank you! It was on the 4th of July, the same as my DH and I. I have now informed my Graddaughter that she has to get married on the 4th of July too! (she says she is never getting married)

You have a very smart granddaughter!!!!..LOL

The wedding pictures from both of you are absolutely beautiful! Amber, you'd never know by the pictures that anything was wrong with the dress. It was one of those live and learn lessons that one day you'll look back and laugh about but at the moment wasn't so funny.
