Sharing wedding plans!

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

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...

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?

pope1982 · 03-05-2008, 03:10 PM

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

http://www.birdcageveils.com/birdcag...lle_veil_3.htm

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
http://www.stockingstore.com/Satin-6...lt-p/vb201.htm
Haven't decided on nude or white yet though...

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

pope1982 · 03-05-2008, 06:02 PM

Don't you dare speak it!

I fell in love with lingerie tonight

I found "the one"!
