I'm happy to see you posted your shower pics! It looks like you had a lot of fun :goodvibes

:goodvibes Thank you. It took forever because I had to get them from other people, and I haven't even gotten them all yet. But it was a good night, and I cannot believe it is already over. Just like I cannot believe that your wedding was almost 3 months ago!
 
Looks like things are going very well for you. It is such an exciting time. You look like you are getting the wedding glow:lovestruc in your pictures.
Can't wait to see more. :)

Thank you! That glow you speak of, I think it is the stress glow :rotfl: I just posted on your pj, I can't wait to read about your big day! I hope everything turned out just as you had hoped.

Thank you for your kind words! I am happy to have you catch up, I am going to make my way over to your TR now. Last time I checked you hadn't been back yet. I hope that things are going well for you!
 
I posted this on the main boards, but I am going to post here as well, in hopes of getting some answers.

Lately, for whatever reason, I have really been wanting to add a desert party to our wedding. We have zero budget for one - my mom is paying for the majority of the wedding with DF and I paying for as much as we can - but I really want to find a way to fit one in.

I was thinking about maybe taking a couple of items out of our brunch buffet (probably the lunch items) and using the money that we would save from there towards a desert party. The buffet already has so much food so I don't think that anyone would miss a few things if we took them out.

I would like to have the desert party at Sago Cay, which I believe only has a 75$ set up fee and a f&b minimum of 500$. We should have no problem keeping the 1500$ minimum at Narcoossee's so that won't be a problem. And I am not at all concerned with decor. I am not even having much at the wedding itself. The reason I want to have the desert party is that our wedding ends so early and I would like to have a nice, private fireworks viewing to spend some more time with our guests.

So any opinions on this are appreciated!

Lots has been happening lately so I will be putting up lots of updates. I will be posting some pictures of how my invitations finally came out, some other decisions that I still have to make, what things are still on my to do list, etc.
 
My mom gave me the idea of going to see my hairstylist here at home, getting her to do a trial run for my wedding day hair, and taking some pictures to show Beaute Speciale because I won't be able to have a trial with them.

My stylist said that she will cut and dye my hair one day before I leave for the wedding and she said that if I booked a Friday afternoon appointment, she would keep me the whole afternoon and try different styles to find one for me for the wedding! She is so great.

So I have been looking online to try and find some pictures of hairstyles that I like. One site was recommended on here, I think by shippedtosea (thank you!) and I found some great stuff. I am going to post a couple of inspiration pictures and see what you all think!

My hair is very dark brown, thick, straight, and is passed shoulder length.

For a reminder, this is what my dress looks like:

And this is my tiara:

And here are a couple of pictures of what I am thinking about doing for my hair.

I seem to gravitate towards this style in general (see above picture), plus it sort of looks like a Victorian era hairstyle (being big on top and having a couple of big curls down on side - if that makes sense) but my only problem is that I am not sure whether my hair would hold it or not because it is so thick and straight.

I was looking at updo styles because I think my hair would hold them better, and this is one that I like. It is very romantic and "princessy" and should look good with the tiara.

So what do you all think?
 
Oh wow I love ALL these hairstyles!

I am doing the same thing with my hairdresser as I won't have rehersal time either. She is going to take step by step images of doing my hair! I think secretly she would like me to take her out there with us:lmao:
 
i'm glad i could be of help! I like the updo the best. but I have to tell you I have thick, straight hair and my hair held up for the whole day....I don't how hair stylist can get your hair to do things that it normally doesn't want to.....but they do!

:goodvibes Thank you! It sounds like you have a great hairdresser too! I am sure that mine would love to come too lol, and she knows my family so we would be comfortable with her there but unfortunately she won't be there with us.

That website was definitely helpful - I am glad you posted it! Thank you for your input, I will definitely keep it in mind. The final decision probably won't get made until I see what happens at the trial, but I am an organized person and I like to get things done in advance lol And I think that hairdressers have something magic that allows them to style our hair in a way that stays!
 
I like all the hairstyles, but the last one is the best.

Popular opinion seems to be that the updo is best! I will definitely be getting my hair dresser to try it out on me and hope that I like how it looks on me. Thanks for your input!
 
I'm having tiara issues too...glad I'm not the only one! :goodvibes There are some styles in my PJ...except...I dont know which page they are on...:confused3 I'm working on 1/2 up 1/2 down do's...but who knows...See PJ for details...:surfweb:
 
So I finally have some pictures of the invitations as they turned out!! The pictures aren't great (they make the invites look bubbly) but I think that they look alright in the flesh. So here are some pictures!
