Wedding Beach Gown Possibilities

The gowns being posted here are all possibilities. There are so many beautiful gowns out there and finding the right one is never easy. I have an idea of what I am looking for but really haven't stumbled across it yet.....I think.

I know I need something to support my bust with either an empire waist or A line cut. I do indeed want it long unless I can find a perfect short one. It there was to be a train nothing longer than a sweep because really, this is going to be on the beach and a train is not really necessary. It won't be poofy and will try not to have lace on it. Lace tends to pick up unwanted things on the ground. So, it will more than likely be chiffon. Shall we have a look now?




I am really liking this next dress, but unsure it would look decent on a short person like me and not sure it my bust would be contained, LOL.


This next dress is kinda plain in the front, but I think it would take fabulous photos on the beach.


I don't know about the flower in the front, but for the most part I think it's cute.




This dress is kinda plain, but plain is nice too.




Well, I am done looking for today. I am making my head spin. I will do a part II when I feel like looking again.


Tell me what you think of these so far.

Ugh.....

Is it wrong of me to still desire a Hawaii wedding. I have no problems with Key West, but I feel Hawaii has the more tropical feel. Plus, I think the vegetation in Hawaii is prettier. Well, I still have time. I can still change wedding locations, lol. I just want it to be really pretty naturally. I am sure I will be able to find something. It's probably me being too picky.



Wedding News Update

So, last time I wrote on this blog I was thinking about pushing the date back. After finally getting in contact with my sister, she said she would go anywhere to be there for me when I get married. I also got a hold of my older sister for once. Unfortunately, she said she is more than likely not going to go. As I figured. She can't afford it, unless I pay her whole entire way and well, I just can't do that. Who knows, she may change her mind. The date is still a ways away.

Anyway, yes, the wedding is being pushed back and no it isn't because of my sister. Trying to consider everyone we want to go is a hard thing to do. For that reason, we even had to change the destination too. I know, freakin' bummed me to pieces when I first heard/ discovered that not everyone would fly. Some people just like to stay very close to the ground. I don't blame them anyway, flying is a scary thing, but then when you add miles of miles of deep ocean to the mix, it becomes an absolute nightmare. We are settling on Key West. Unless I can find something more appealing, this is where it's at. I really wanted bluer water and whiter sand, but I am sure Key West can be just as beautiful as any other tropical place. Keep your fingers crossed.

Pushing Back Date...maybe

Ok, so I was wanting to shoot for a Sept. 2012 wedding, but I am thinking with costs etc. we might have to push back the date. I really haven't gotten much detail and costs for the wedding and everything. My main concern is how much it is going to cost to fly there. I know I will be able to afford it, but I worry about my sisters not being able to afford the flight. I mean, it's not exactly cheap to fly from the East Coast well past the West Coast.

I asked my sister via text the other day, but I have yet to hear a reply. She probably thinks I am insane with wanting a destination wedding that she just didn't want to even think about the cost. We will see. I asked her husband to please have her call or text me asap regarding it. I really would love my sisters to be at my wedding.

Wedding Destination

I have never given wedding destinations a thought until recently. I wasn't always an advocate for destination weddings. I found them to be a bit on the selfish side since not everyone on your guest list can afford to fly where ever you want to have your wedding. I am one that believes a wedding day should be shared among many of your family and friends. Now, I could care less. It's my day and I'm gonna enjoy it.

So, what changed my mind some of you may ask. Well, it's simple. As stated before, this is my second time around and I really don't care if not everyone in the world can make it to my wedding day. As long as the people I care most are there, I am content. How does my fiancĂ© feel about it? It doesn't matter to him as long as he gets to call me his wife by the end of the day.

Anyhow, I have my heart set on a Hawaii wedding. Why Hawaii? Well for starters, I have never been there and I hear it's gorgeous there. Also, orchids are one of my favorite flowers, next to calla lilies, and they grow naturally there. I know, basing your wedding destination on where a certain flower grows is insane, but it's not just about that. It's everything about it Hawaii has to offer. It's like a different country yet still part of the US. So, I don't have to worry about passports, etc.

Thanks to a friend, I have been researching possible wedding sites through other bride experiences via http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com. There is so much info there for destination weddings or weddings in general. What to do, what not to do, who to use, who to beware of, etc. I really am thankfully for this community for giving me tips on choosing my destination.

Happily Ever After: Round Two

Alright, so my first marriage didn't last long and I knew, in my heart, what I was doing wasn't going to last forever. Sad, I know, but sometimes stupidity has to play out for me to see things as they are. I'm slow sometimes, okay? LOL! Hey, at least I admit I was in the wrong.

So, if I screwed up the first time, how do I know I won't screw up this time? You know, I don't know, but what I do know, in my heart, is that I am never going to find a guy that will love and care for me as much as my current fiancĂ© does. I also know that I love him more than anything in the world. Him and I were good friends before we even started dating. He was always by my side then and still is and will always be whatever choice I make, whether it be wrong or right. He's very good to me. Plus, he's young and bendable. When I say bendable, I don't mean in the physical way, you pervs...I mean bendable as in trainable without him losing the characteristics that I love and what makes him, him. I would never make or ask someone to change their whole self for me, that's selfish, and in the end, neither of us would be happy. I just give him guidance here and there, hehe.

Anyway, this blog is separate from my normal blog because I want to try to keep a log of my thoughts and plans until the day I say, "I do," again. Maybe this way I can bounce ideas off of people, family, or whomever that is willing to listen.

The adventure begins.....well, still no date set, but we are thinking September of 2012...maybe August. I am trying to accommodate peoples schedules really. I know what you're thinking....why are you trying to accommodate around people on your big day. It's simple. If I want them there, I am going to have to consider their schedule. Hmmm....maybe November around Thanksgiving. Gah, gonna have think this out more with the other half and his family. I am working around 2 college kids really. Oh well, we will come back to this thought at a later time and I will of course properly title it it'll be easier to find.
