Venue & Dress Update...
For some reason my computer is not letting me post replies to my threads, so here's the update on the venue (original thread):
You guys were SO right about venues booking up early... the venue fianlly called me back and, sure enough, June 8th is booked. Wonderful. They have June 22nd open so they're giving us a courtesy hold until Wednesday to put down a deposit. I'm still upset though... they were supposed to call us if anyone inquired about the date, AND they told us they book weddings 1 year out. Oh, and apparently we have to pay extra for dressing rooms! Just renting the venue for just the ceremony is $3500... they can't include the dressing rooms in that?? We were also originally told we would have the venue all day for getting ready, pictures, etc... now they're saying we have 4 hours tops. =/
And about my too-small dress (original thread), I took a picture to show you what I mean:
Uggghhh I'm so sad... maybe more fabric can be added underneath the corset?? The thing is, it's too big around my hips and butt, and also too big around my bustline... apparently my ribs are abnormally wide for a size 6! I plan on working out quite a bit before the wedding day, but I'm scared that there isn't any fat around my ribs to lose! Here's the bust:
They can't replace the dress, they can only alter it. =(

Re: Venue & Dress Update...
I believe you should be able to get a wider fabric to go under the corset, my friend had on one size and then needed a larger size to fit properly.
Is this the only venue you visited? I went to 3, the one I thought would be my dream venue, ended up being the one that I hated the most, while I visited I felt like the coordinator cared less about my wedding. She was texting while we were on our tour and really wouldnt answer my questions directly. The one I went to to appease my parents and FI is the one I ended up booking. I just felt a direct connection to the space and the coordinator. Throughout the wedding planning process, I think you owe it to yourself to make sure every vendor is a good fit for you.
Edit: not THE main part since that is your ceremony, I meant to say the main part of your reception.
And as far as your venue goes, the other ladies are right. If they have already changed things around on you from the first time you met with them, how much else will they surprise you with over the next 15 months? Did they give a reason as to why you're dealing with a new coordinator all of a sudden?
