My fiance and I are at a disagreement about the destination of the wedding. We were going to do it on the beach of Cape Cod but I’m thinking that the Dress Blues with the Sword detail would be too formal for an informal location, but he seems to think it’ll look nice. I just can’t get a picture for it, so if anyone has any pictures or examples of a USMC Beach wedding in Full Dress Uniforms, please let me know. Or if you know of anyone that did it, then let me know how it looked. Thank you very much.

I’m maid of honor for my best friend who wants to get married in Hawaii, does anyone know of any good websites where we can look into packages and locations? She def wants a beach wedding and we are looking at about 50 people attending, so we also need hotels and all that. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
She is planning to invite about 75, but of those 75, about 50 would definitly come, at the very least about 40. they both have huge families.

I was asked several weeks ago to be a bridesmaid in a friend’s simple beach wedding this summer. After accepting the invitation everything changed including location, date, theme, and attire SEVERAL times. With each change I’ve been stressed and helped her plan another wedding from sctratch. I was chastised through text messages for not purchasing my dress yet (the wedding is still 2 months away) by her fiance. She has changed the bridesmaid dress choice at least 4 times in the 6 weeks of planning. When I went to try on the most recent (and supposedly final) dress choice and realized that it was to be a "trashy" themed wedding I was appalled. The dress came only about 2 inches past my butt and was black and strapless with a leather corsette. I wouldn’t leave my bedroom in that. Am I wrong to refuse to dawn this prositute attire in favor of self respect and respect for my husband?

I should also let you know that I am a plus size, so J CREW and stuff like that doesn’t fit.

Thank you for all the supportive answers. I did tell her that I was not comfortable in it and she then showed me a series of 4 other dresses to choose from that were equally unsavory. She was very upset with me and I have been questioning my decision to speak up. I am glad to see that I am not the only one who thinks that being a self-respecting woman is more important than being a good loyal (doormat) bridesmaid.

My boyfriend gave me a promise ring, but ever time that I bring up weddings, or us getting married, he kinda changes the subject. Why? I have told him I want a nice wedding, not something too expensive, and not something to simple ( like a beach wedding ). I want to be able to invite over all my family and I am mexican, so I have a lot of relatives. Could the expensises be scaring him away? But I am a girl… it is every girls dream to have a nice wedding, RIGHT???

Hello Everyone,
Well, Yesterday I posted a question about my stepsister, who gave out magnets of her husband and herself holding up "Thank You" signs at the wedding instead of sending thank you cards afterwards.
The majority of the feedback was the Thank You magnet was a cool idea, but should not be in lieu of a thank you card. Perhaps a cool favor, but not a replacement. I totally agree.
So, to go with my beach wedding, I think I’m going to try to take my fiance to the beach, get "Save the Date" signs and "Thank You" signs and have the two of us sit in beach chairs, attach the signs to the back of the beach chairs, and have pictures taken with us on the beach, looking out over the waves. I’ll do magnets with Save the Date and later send out the Thank You magnets with the thank you cards, after the wedding.
What do you think? If you attended a wedding where someone did a similar thing, what would your impression be?

I plan on buying this dress for a beach wedding this March. What do you think? What type of shoes would look okay with it? Heels are a no-no.

I am getting married in June. I am having a simple beach wedding using the color pool and some tropical colors in my flowers. I have some things for my tables but it’s missing something. Help me. What can I add. I have 2 different tables. One is with teal candle holders and one is with clear ones. I am going to mix them up. What can I add to these tables?Here is what I have so far. Now the table they are on isn’t the table we are using it will be a round table that sits 8. I also included a pic of the favors. A small box with tropical colored jelly beans.

I helped out with a wedding and she did floating candles. There is no way i am doing them. They are a disaster. They all kept falling over and going out.
I thought about going to the store the day of and buying some fresh flowers and putting them on the table. Like cutting the tips off but leave about 3 inches of the stem.
putting flowers in the vases is not an option. I can’t afford to pay a florist. I’m trying to make it as nice as possible with my budget.
So far I spent about a table. If that. Each candle was and I bought ribbon to put on them and each candle holder was . the vases were a piece and the sand was a couple dollars a bag and so were the shells. Trying to keep in budget.
what if I add something like this?

well the bow is already attached to the boxes. I may try the stamp idea though.

I am looking for some ideas for place cards…so any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Here are some wedding details:
Hosting event in a brewery (but not alcohol themed…)
Colors are eggplant and sage green. Vintage/victorian themes. I am wearing a birdcage veil with a few peacock feathers. We love rich colors and are a pretty fun-loving couple with a hearty sense of humor. We both like hiking, photography, hockey, beer, and good food.
I want the place cards to be something I can make myself with a fun theme….??? (Like if it was a beach wedding, a name in a bottle)
I know a lot of brides use the place cards to double as favors, however we are having a candy bar/buffet as a favor so those little gift baggies will be at the candy bar.
Also, candles in votives will already be on the tables (I was thinking about labeling them as one per guest, but they are the property of the event so that was a no-go.)
Any thoughts? Picture would be extremely helpful if you can find something.

My dress is an A-line shift dress with cap sleaves. It sits above my mid thigh. I’d say it’s a mini-dress. If I bend over of reach for something it’s quite revae. I’m also concerned because it’s an outdoor beach wedding, and the wind could whip it up.
