I got married on July 10th and it was great! Beautiful weather, even if it was hot and everything came together so well! Although there were a few hiccups, i didnt let them ruin my day. I am waiting for professional pics but  a few pics that ppl took at the wedding are posted on my facebook. Vendor reviews will be up soon. 

If you have any questions, let me know! 

Just wanted to stop by and thank all of you for your help with this whole wedding process. It made planning a lot more fun and easier!

Today on Ebay I found the dress in the right color, but it is a size 8. Our niece will be just shy of 11, so I am not sure if it would take way too much to alter the dress to fit her. Then I would have fabric left to make the sashes for the FG dresses!

Would I be crazy to buy it, the bids start at $75 and buy it now is $125.

This is the dress

(LONG) https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/662693/they-stole-my-dress-and-my-money-long Thu, 08 Jul 2010 16:16:53 +0000 Florida-Central Florida briehannah 662693@/discussions I have been swindled and robbed by the Bridal Store that has my dress, my mom's dress, and my bridesmaids dresses.
Savannah Grace Bridal in Waterford Lakes appears to have potentially closed for business sometime in the last week, with not a trace of where to find them.
I ordered my dress with them in February, in which they gave me an ETA of May. May came and went with no dress, they said the dress manufacturer was back ordered and that the dress was running 4-6 weeks behind and would be in at the end of June. Well, middle of June comes, and I try to start communicating with her to find out if we are still on track to recieve it, and she starts beginning to dodge my emails. I can't get in touch with her at the store, becuase she is never there, the only one to talk to is the seamstress, who knows NOTHING! In the meantime, I had already begun the process of ordering the BM dresses through her becuase she offered a decent discount when I ordered my gown. One of the last BM's went into the store 2 weeks ago, and the seamstress said she didn't see any payments or orders made by any of the other BM's. This is of course untrue, becuase I know what my girls have all done and hve emails and reciepts to prove it. Long story short, they finally "find" everyone's info and said they are moving forward with the orders. This was last week, after my mom had gone into the store to have her alterations done to the dress she alerady pre-paid for (plus alterations) which is still in the store right now waiting to be altered. Since then, we haven't heard a peep and the store remains closed. Yesterday, I decide to take matters into my own hands and call another location that sells that designer to see if they are having the same "back-order" problem. They say, NO. They do some investtigation into the matter, turns out my dress has been ordered but is waiting on Savannah Grace Bridal to pay thier bill to have the dress released. So, needless to say, they have been lying to me for months and have no intention of paying thier bill to get my dress to me. At this point, we don't know if the store is closed for business for sure, but all signs point to yes, as my mom went by the store yesterday and today and the location is still closed and when she looked into the window, it appears that half of their inventory is gone. I am left right now with no answers and no solutions. It looks to me that this lady has every intention on skipping town and taking all the money with her. We called the property mgmt of the building she rents to see if they could help out, and they said they can't give out any information and is basically protecting his tenant. So, obviously she is making her rent, or else he wouldn't be concerned. My mom and i are completly at a loss of what to do. I have this awful feeling like this lady is going to run away with all of our money, free as a bird with no consequence.
This is just the most awful thing ever!!! Any suggestions??

 It is not a huge deal at this point because I'm still three months out and there's nothing I desperately need her to do. I am just trying to get our "walk through" of the venue scheduled, which is included in my package (as well as unlimited phone and email consultation).

It has happened a couple times and I am currently on two weeks of waiting for a response, with one follow up email in the middle! Am I right to be annoyed with the lack of communcation, or am I really only paying for her for the day? I don't want to be like, the stalker bride, especially when she is just a day of coordinator, but I feel like two weeks is a long time to wait for a response? :-/]]> Wedding Boutique spread sheet https://forums.theknot.com/discussion/664074/wedding-boutique-spread-sheet Mon, 19 Jul 2010 13:17:59 +0000 Florida-Central Florida irisheyezfsu 664074@/discussions

Couple of questions regarding airbrush makeup. I did a quick search for recommendations on here, and it seems that Meghann Davis is very popular! I'm looking into her and I also recieved a recommendation from my DOC for Simone at Makeover Station. Has anyone ever worked with her??

Does anyone have pics of their airbrush makeup done? (not necessarily by either of these two). I've never had it done before!

The best news is that it was a sample sale! Ladies still looking for a dress run hurry to Something Blue Bridal they are having an amazing sample sale with some the best dresses I saw in all of Orlando!  Two of the dresses I tried on they said the designers had sent for the sale and never even had anyone worn them!  Most were in superb contintion. Mine has a little tear in the part of the tool at the bottom but I couldn't even see it till the next day I went back to try it on again. Annnnndd they will hold a dress for 24  hours for you and let you take pictures! 

They are by far the friendliest most acoomidating and over all best experience of shopping I went to.  I went to 5 stores in a total of two days and while none were bad experience Something Blue Bridal blew them all away! 

Never going to believe how much my dress was either! originally 1500 I bought it for $500! My second choice dress was originally $3000 and it was also $500! If you are looking for the most awesome train ever run there it is an all lace dress with the longest train you've ever seen, would work so beautifully in a large church! It was a really hard choice for me, I almost got that one, but at those prices some people could get two!

What a freakin blast it was! I got all of my pics from her last night. And holy moly do I look hot!

I felt totally comfortable when I did them.  Thought I would be nervous, but I wasn't.  

And- I am getting married in a week (holy crap!) Tab was so super awesome to get all my pics edited asap, and I picked out my faves to have made into a book so that I can have it for FI for the wedding.

Anywho... Here is a link of some of them (not all) if you gals wanna have a look.  


side note:
My FI said that he thought they were dumb, and didn't see a point in them. He has no idea I did these.  I don't think he will think they are so silly when he sees them.  I decided to do them for "myself"-- he just gets to reap the benefits.  LOL!

Any advice for how to stay relaxed during the last couple of months? What worked for you married gals?

I just want to be on my honeymoon already! lol.
