I got my bridesmaids dresses there and almost got my wedding dress there too :). SUPER NICE sales associates with a great return policy! A little suspicious of the up-sell attitude of your sales guy although I feel your sales associate was right about the fiance. There are the "destination" type of lighter khaki/linen suits that look a little more casual for an outside/beach wedding. I don't think the fathers HAVE to be in suits. I think the Tori Richards shirts are very classic... maybe with a nice maile lei or something... some might say the maile lei is for the groom only but my brother gave both fathers maile lei in his wedding and i thought it was really nice!

I used budget calculators and booked my venue before really researching all the other details, not realizing how much they cost in my area. I researched average costs, but since we are doing a seaside town, people tend to be way more expensive. We could get people from elsewhere, but they all say we need to include accomodations, so it doesn't really save any money. I am constantly on Excel trying to move numbers to make it work. Very frustrating! I am havign the same problem! I used budget calculators and booked my venue before really researching all the other details, not realizing how much they cost in my area.

I never felt this way before, but I am actually jealous of other peoples weddings. I think because I know that I can't make any more improvements to mine, LOL Now that my wedding is over I find myself with “wedding envy”.

I'm sure it will! It just makes me think what someone told me...there are many many things that will go wrong in the wedding planning period. Just gotta enjoy the moment. Easier said than done, I know. :) I hope things get better as far as dress shopping goes! I’m sure it will!

I haven't even started! Anyway, you're so lucky to have a fiance that can design! It's good that you controlled the liner urge and not overdo it. I don't know if I would have been able to do the same. :) I stumbled upon your blog looking for blogs with wedding planning. I haven’t even started!
