your maggie is BEAUTIFUL!! (from the back, at least! let''s see the front!) don''t you LOVE The corset back??? that''s the reason i chose maggie!!

can''t wait to see your engagement photos!!

also, add how long you''ve been together! i''m going to add it to mine and the original survey.

 

[dietvanillacoke]

flopkins, for the record, i love love love the casablanca!! but i can see why you are torn... the paloma is gorgeous also. and you look incredible in both. i guess it''s really down to a decision of whether you want the romantic/old fashioned/soft look, or the contemporary/glamorous/clean look. i am always also torn in this category.. fortunately my dress incorporates both looks.

I LOVE THE CASABLANCA!! sorry.

also think about how you want to wear your hair/veil and what dress would look best with that!!

 

[JCJD]

Yay!! A fellow berry wedding!! I''m not even sure how we settled on that theme anymore - LOL! I''m going to wait till my sister sends me pics from my last fitting to show the front. The pic in the wedding gown thread is blurry and makes my belly look weird.

# of guests: 115-125

First Dance Song: David Allan Cole''s "You Never Even Called Me By My Name"--It sets the right mood for the reception.

Wedding Cake: Yellow cake with buttercream frosting, in between layers in each tier is either a chocolate-almond or a chocolate-raspberry ganache. Each tier is going to be square with a delicate design and lots of (real) flowers.

Where did you get those bubble wands? They are too cute

Do you mean the bubbles I posted? We bought ours at Walmart, but first saw them at Michael''s Arts and Crafts. Walmart had packages of bigger quantities. I can find out how many wands in a box if you like.
