2009 Brides roll call/support thread

I was watching a bridal show the other day and the planner mentioned that the new trend in bridesmaids is mix match dresses? The concept is to pick a color scheme or a menu option and give the brides maids a choice in what they can wear including hair and shoes?

I saw some TACKY options but they also showed some interesting new ideas as well. Anyone considering this?

I'm not engaged btw just curious.

Thx
 
Congrats to all the LHCF ladies getting married in '09!

Congrats on your upcoming wedding...off topic, your baby girl is so adorable
 
I've started my wedding planning in full now. I'm scoping out sites. But at times I feel like I have NO idea of what I'm doing. It's so overwhelming.

Well at least you have the venue. That's the main thing. I keep trying to tell myself one day at a time. Do you have the dress yet?? At least that part should be fun.

Everything seems so straightforward...until you have to handle all kinds of stuff you didn't think of.

You seem to have it all under control. :grin: I am at the point where my to-do list (and estimated cost) :( is expanding faster than I am checking things off.
 
I am sending out my save the dates within two weeks. I am feeling really good. We have done a lot and I turned everything over to my planner. Now I just keep making payments and get ready for the big day.

Wow, you are really sitting pretty!! :grin: Now you will be well rested for the ceremony and cna just take everything in. I had a good friend that got married who did everything herself to cut costs. She was so stressed out on the day of the wedding. I hope I don't end up like that. :nono:
