All of these are breathtaking! I know I shared one similar to this in another "favorites" thread, but it''s the best scenery we have too! It''s "city scenery", but pretty nonetheless! |

Close-up of hairstyle and necklace...that''s it for now! Again, let me know if you''re looking for other angles. I know this site helped me a lot when picking out this dress, and I was DYING to see more pictures! |

I have so, so many pictures of this dress now that I have my pro pics back :) I just love the style so much. Like one of the previous posters, I went with a statement-type necklace to add to the dress a bit more, but it''s gorgeous with a simple necklace too. I also had the back lowered into more of... |

At the recommendation of a friend, we used Tasha Rae Designs. Tasha is a stay-at-home mom in Colorado who specializes in eco-friendly, amazing invitations. Ours were $4.50/set and were totally custom, from the design to the colors to the monogram. That monogram ended up on everything---even our cake... |

CDN, I love that idea! One of my friends put this together for us as a surprise. We''re big into wine, so she got this wine bottle and had people write messages and stick in the bottle. She also had a label made with our monogram. We''ll probably never be able to read the messages, but it''s nice to... |

First off, I definitely don''t think that''s too expensive...it sounds like a GREAT deal for a bridal shower, actually. Here''s another idea that might be cheaper but still really fun for the bride: for my shower my MOH had every girl buy new pair of underwear they thought might remind me of th... |

I totally agree----I''ve been avoiding the scale like crazy! And there were all these restaurants/foods I''d been avoiding before the wedding that I just HAD to have after. It''s definitely time to get it back together |

Noel, your dress is SO dramatic! Your pictures show it so well. And thanks, Bella! It''s the ever-popular (on this site) La Sposa Fanal. I think it looks good on just about anyone! I do love that picture, though

Great pictures, everyone! I had a hard time with this one because we also have one of those great didn''t-know-the-photog-got-it shots that I love, but I chose this one because we love Chicago, and I think we look so happy here. Also---this is where he proposed---and where his dad proposed to his mo... |

I just recently got ALL my pro pictures back, and my DH and I have been very surprised (in a good way) at the random groups of people dancing and having fun together! I think the key (besides what other people have said) was having really fun (think 90s) music that all groups could relate to, and be... |

We actually did the "Lil'' Bit of LOLA" option, which is kinda in-between a full-out planner and a DOC. She was available to me throughout the process via email and phone, and we met like 4 times in the year before to be sure everything was on the right track. Then, the week of the wedding, she was ... |

Hi! I agree that if you have a super-responsible, detail-oriented family member who''s willing to take on this responsibility, it is probably not neccessary. However, we had a planner and I was THRILLED to not be dealing with small details or have any problems presented to me throughout the day. If ... |

I agree---we stayed at Hanalei Colony Resort, which was basically like having a little condo on the north shore of the island, right before the road ends!
