Get to blogging SweetP! :) Do you have your dress yet? Choices for your girls/guys attire ...centerpiece/favor ideas? As stated I love your colors ...and had I had a summer wedding ..those would have been my first choice ...so vibrant!!! :)

That is a nice big bridal Party you got there!. LOve the pic of you and FH. I love the color choices and theme.. I know it will be great, cant wait to hear and see more details!

First.. I didnt see the ring when i first post, but lovely!

You attire picks are very nice! Great Choices

What about you babe? You have some choices for dresses ..or you already know what dress you want?

I love your attendants attire!! And #1, 3 (PLENTY OF STYLE! LOVE IT! & 4 are H-O-T! :)

wow SweetP-those colors are great together!! One of my bm'swore that exact dress you picked for bm's..oh and I love the #3 in your dress choice also!!!!!!! :)

what colors will the guys be wearing?

SWEETP, or shall I say Ms. Porshe, I absolutely love, love everything I see so far. Let me detail my thoughts for you.

I say anytime after your engagement is the right time to start your blog. So sister, you're right on schedule. There's nothing like a great blog to keep your thoughts straight. I love, love, love your engagement ring and I must also admit to loving your "Will You" invitation cards.

Wow, huge wedding party, even larger than mine of 28 attendants. You go Diva!!! As for the Cosmetic bag that you sent to the girls along with your invites, very nice touch.

I love your theme and color!!! Keep bloging

Love the pic of you and your FH. Very Sweet. Recently my FH shaved one of my prized feature of him, his goatee. Now, he looks like a 22-yr old baby boy instead of the 28-yr old man that he is. I'm gonna miss my goatee (sniff sniff). Oh well. Your FH just brought it all back for me. I love a man with a goatee.

Wedding Party ~ Wonderful, wonderful choices.

As for yours, you've made an equally impressive choice in Kenneth Pool. He is such a terrific designer. You won't be disappointed no matter your choice.

Keep it coming sister. I'm enjoying your blog very much!!!

[quote="SWEETP"]Since I have been planning my dream wedding I have had my eye on a certain dress. The problem was that I only had a picture of the dress and did not know the designer of the dress. So I went to many,many bridal shops with the picture but no one knew who the designer was. Well.............
TODAY must be a good day. I received an email from my MOH in Louisiana and she FOUND THE DRESS AND THE DESIGNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am soooooo Excited. Its in Houston,Texas so my mom and I will make that a weekend trip to go to the Bridal Shop.Its WeddingsbyDebbie.com
Here is the dress:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I love your dress. Wow such details!!!

I think this suit would go very nicely.

SWEETP that wedding dress is of the hook. Very nice.
BTW the bridesmaids dress you chose was the same bridesmaid dress my girls wore. It looks very good on curvy women.

SweetP, just wanted to say you and your fiance look great together.
Love you choice of dresses! Everything looks good!

Don't know how I missed this post
(I'm sure it was due to the Vi-Drama on the boards lately -- LOL!!!)

What time are you envisioning your wedding SweetP? The more I look at your dress, the more I'm loving the Blings and your male attendants in the grey suit I've shown you would compliment it very well. Now, I don't know if you've decided to wear white or Ivory. It would make a difference in whether or not your FH would wear white or Ivory, but whichever color you decide, I think that you should have him wear a grey vest to accentuate with the other guys. Think about it sister.

What great taste you have. Just lovely. Kenneth Pool just shot up to the to of my list for favorite gown design. Just so pretty. Your ring is truly blinged out too.

Oh, that's a princess gown for sure. Beautiful! I agree with Ginoue, the grey suit will look vey nice with that gown.

beautiful dress sweetp looks like u got u a big ole chocolity teddy bear you go girl!

I think the Grey tuxes will work with the tiffany blue/pool colored vests....That color is very versatile so it really can go with black, white, ivory, or grey tuxes. We did that color and my DH wore white and the pool, and his GM's wore black tuxedos with the same color. He didn't want to wear the all white....and it worked....

Good choices in colors and the dress you picked is gorgeous! Great choice....Happy Planning:)

SweetP, I'm all for the grey suits. Especially the clean look of that Calvin Klein one. *although I know that you can find one that's more reasonable than that brand*

SensationablyHappy, I love that picture of your bridesmaids.

SWEETP, the groomsmen in grey suits and aqua vest would be nice or even black suits and aqua vests. As for your DH, you need to differenciate him. Since your gown is white, he could wear white tux with the aqua vest and tie maybe. He'll definitely stand out. When everyone wears the same color, it's hard to make the difference between groom and groomsmen.

Looking good so far SweetP! But, ummm, did I misss something? Tiffany blue is not in your color scheme is it? It's hot pink and orange right? I don't think the grey tuxes will fit - or I should say I have to see them together.

I absolutely LOVE your dress! I hope you can get it and in your price range. You may also want to check out Julius Bridal. They make knock-offs for a fraction of the cost and have a decent return policy.

Do you have pictures of your venue? Have you thought about invitation designs? Do you have an overall theme? Tackling any DIY projects? I'm going through wedding withdrawl girlie help me out! LOL!

Wow SweetP, everything looks great. I just love your gown choices.

I just love these flowers.

For your pocketfolds: Have you thought about having someone design them for you and then you just put then together? You could get them designed as pdf files, upload them to Vistaprint, and have them printed on their oversized postcards. Take them to Office Depot or somewhere to have them cut, insert into pocketfolds, and you're done! All for a fraction of the cost and less frustration!

SWEETP, you'll need someone who's great with desktop publishing skills. They'll have it done for you in no time at all.

Future is so right about Vistaprint. I'll be ordering my postcards from them which I'll use as part of the invitation. I'll get 150 for under $30. Check them out, they have great prices.

Well of course I LOVE those colors too. Where is the wedding going to take place SWEETP?

Okay it sound sooo easy. Now I have to find a designer. I will try to get on this today. Thanks for the suggestions and advice keep em coming..lol I need it all!

I know our very own Turiya does design work. Her website is [url="www.unikques.com"]uNIKque's[/url]. I also have begun doing a lil' sumthin' sumthin' on my own! LOL! Let either one of us know. I'm sure we could come up with something and would appreciate the business.

How many invitations do you need? Vistaprint always offers free products. I got my RSVP postcards from them - 100 free - only paying shipping. My bridal showwer invitations also came from them. I used their oversized postcards for those and cut them to size. They were 50 free plus shipping. If you need more than 50 you just place more than one order and you can still get the free deals. I found that ususally it was cheaper to double the order than pay an additional shipping charge. Then place another order the same way for the next set if more were needed.

[quote="SWEETP"]MRSKEEPUP....Our Guestlist is almost up to 300 people....most of the guest will be out of town guest.
