I custom designed these water bottle labels. I always do these for functions it was exciting to finally be able to do it for my self. we loved the design so much I think we will be using them for our welcome bags as well...!
 
Super cute, I love the poms (also my colors - pink and orange) and the water lables are really funny!! :goodvibes

sw33t_angel- I went in for my 2nd dress fitting on Tuesday...They would not be able to get the dress in the correct size in time but they are taking it in for free so no harm done ^_^...We've taken the guys suits into a tailor, those should be done next week...Now I'm working on the pocket squares and emergency sewing kits for the welcome bags.

Super cute, I love the poms (also my colors - pink and orange) and the water lables are really funny!! :goodvibes
Mindjoy- our colors are actually coral and light aqua but there was no coral or peach tissue paper to be found.... ^_^! I love the combo of pink and orange! you're wedding is going to look amazing!

So cute!!
And your "love potion" water bottles are so funny! I love it!!
KristiLyn- Thank you! We're goofy like that:goodvibes
 
Snapped a few pics from my last dress fitting...what do you think? definitely going to tweak a few things but i'm in love with the details all over again...

I am still without accessories though...:confused3 I am so clueless when it comes to girly stuff...LOL... any suggestions would be appreciated...the hair will be down with a finger wave style curl and a flower on the left side... I'm not sure if I should do a necklace or what style...bracelet? earrings? I initially wanted to do a statement necklace in aqua to go with my colors...I'm starting to second guess that as it might be too busy...I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl...all this fancy shmancy stuff is waaay out of my element! Please help me girls!!!:flower3:

here's a close up of the neckline...please excuse the cleavage...ack...grandma is not going to be happy about that O_o

It's GORGEOUS!!! I love it!!!! :lovestruc
And I know what you mean about being a jeans and tshirt girl. I'm exactly the same!
I'm doing my hair down as well. I think you could get by without wearing a necklace. Your dress has so much detail towards the top of it. I'm not wearing one because of that reason. Or if you did wear one, color would be pretty too :) Since I'm wearing my hair down, I went with bigger earrings so they would be visible. And I am IN LOVE with bracelets, so I made sure to get a big cuff bracelet.
 
LOVE IT! Gorgeous! And I agree with Kristi, big earrings and no necklace would totally work! Your shower looked great and I love the idea of you hula-ing for your husband! So sentimental and a really awesome way to personalize it for you!

Kristi~ Thanks for the advice :goodvibes...I'm going to look for a statement bracelet now...I've done a little shopping around and theres not many combos or choices for bridal jewels in a gold tone...all the girls are wearing gold shoes and accessories....wish me luck!!!

Sarah~Thanks for the reassurance:flower3:...I used to dance professionally but i'm 2 years rusty...I'm nervous as heck but my culture is very important to me...I'm so glad there's an outlet to share this with my husband and new family!
 
Have you checked out www.bella-tiara.com ? Just type in gold bracelet at the top, there's so many beautiful ones!! My personal favorite is the one called Anna. And the matching earrings.... It's GORGEOUS!!
I found my jewelry at Alfred Angelo. If you have one near you, there was lots of gold bridal jewelry there. Good luck!!! :goodvibes

Ooooh! Thanks for the link! *hugs* I'm going to take a look right now! So I called Alfred Angelos before I had a dress...Is it appointment only just to look at jewels?

Nope. I just walked right in. They were extremely helpful!
 
11 days left! OH-EM-GEEE!!! :scared1:Where has all the time gone! I've been so swamped with wedding planning and work I've neglected my poor PJ! Here's a few mini- updates...
1. I picked up my dress last Friday...FAIL. The alterations were horrible and the whole right side of the dress had pleats sewn into the seam so it layed different from the left. and when it was bustled the whole right side bowed out... Luckily i was able to find a seamstress on Monday who said she would not be able to fix it as original but she would make it better...*sigh*

2. DIY projects knocked out!
-tears of joy packets
-escort cards
-luggage tags
-drink tickets
-sew kits
-table numbers
-coral pocket squares
-purchased to-go boxes from our local cash and carry. got a box of 50 for under 10$

3. DIY projects still needed to do
-aisle runner (this has been a disaster. We bought material and one of the salvage edges were totally ruined. I've had to make a ruffle out of ivory ribbon going down both sides to disguise it and I still need to paint it:scared1:)
-ceremony programs
-pocket schedules
-finish favor tags
-finish signs for kids table and smile station.
-bottom of shoes.

4. I was thinking of getting hair extensions so I went to Sally's beauty supply... they only add 2 inches to my hair length...so i'm skipping them.

5. Going in today for my lash extensions...I'll post some before and after pics soon

6. lastly...we received terrible news yesterday that has brought the wedding plannings stuff to the bottom of my list...DH's grandma went in for a Dr. appt yesterday and they found cancer in her bladder that might have spread to her Kidney :( they scheduled an emergency surgery for her today. If it's too far along it could be the worse news possible...if they can they may remove the bladder and she may need a Kidney transplant...if DH is a match we're off to Texas...Right now everything is on the air. I just want to cry to see him and my new family so upset. Please please please pray for her ladies. We'll take whatever pixiedust we can muster right now...

Sending prayers your way!!!:)
 
I just found your planning journal and read the entire thing! Congratulations on your elopement, a Hawaiian wedding is just beyond amazing. That location was gorgeous! Have you told your mom yet? Me and DH were thinking of eloping but never got around to it, I sure wish he had surprised me with a trip to Hawaii like that. :goodvibes

I love everything you have done. Your shoes are amazing, and your dress is stunning. I think your hair length is just right and will look really pretty pulled to the side with a flower. Your theme is so cute. It makes me think of the artwork they have on the chocolate covered coconut treats they sell at Disney. With Minnie and Mickey in what looks to be Hawaii.

I'm so sorry about your DH's Grandma, I'm sending my hugs :hug: and prayers your way. I just found out this week that my Aunt has terminal lung cancer and has less than a year to live. She was at our Disney wedding in December so it makes it all that much more special that she was able to attend.
 
Awww, I'm SO sorry. Well wishes and prayers <3 <3

Thank you DoomBuggy!

Deb- Thank you soo much! I was really beginning to wonder if anyone even read my PJ...LOL...The elopement was the ultimate romantic thing anyone has ever done for me.:lovestruc I can't wait til after the Disney wedding to really enjoy being married...it honestly hasn't quite set in since we are still in the planning process. We've done so much DIY stuff we really hope our guests appreciate it all! We love Disney and I grew up in Hawaii and have always been deeply involved in the culture so a tropical theme only made sense ^_^ I planned everything in pieces without having an overall view so I really hope everything comes together nicely and looks somewhat cohesive.
Reading your comment about your aunt made me cry. :hug: So sad but it really puts things in perspective. I am so happy you had that special moment to share with her and your families. I hope I'm lucky enough to have grandma Carol attend. I would give anything for that to happen...
