Any Michelle Brides? What undergarment s should I purchase?

Digital Photo Book

I am going to print them on Card stock and then bind them myself. Found the directions on ehow.com.

As some of you may know I was plannin making my own invites. So two weeks ago I ordered the cardstock and paper from www.actionenvelopes.com. So I made the sample and it turned out great even though I didn't have all the supplies at hand (still waiting for them to come in the mail) but here a pic of the invite I put up new pics when I get the Rhinestones Wow, I am so happy! I am payiny $206 for the cardstock, envelopes (2 sizes) and paper on action envelope, which is really good since I am also not only making invite (response cards, Reception cards, and map) I am also making programs, name cards, and tags for the bubbles and cookies, name tages for godie bag and so forth.

For the invites I got my inspiration from alaunbydesign.com

This is the map I made for my reception and ceremony that will be sent with the invitations.
I found this site www.weddingmapper.com thise site has a step by step directions to making your map. Making it real easy to make.

Our programs are going to be made like the 3rd pic. I found the 4th pic on thise site and thought it was too, cute!
Each guest will be recieving a cd of some of the songs being played at the reception, that me and rex enjoys. luckily we like a wide range of music so it can strike a cord with any guest!

I can't help myself, I still searching for a dress, and I think I fell in love with yet another, luckly I have a few years to decided what I want.
Maggie Sottero Lark! I love this so much!
2nd dress is from maggie sottero- monalisa
I also like Maggie sottero-adelaide, brittanya lynette, carla, chardon, chandrea, carissa, phoung, sonya, zoe, martina, reyna, claudia, avery, paula,sara, camden, donyella, nerida
and this list goes on I want them all.
I found this website www.topbridaldress.com that has maggie sotero and other designers for a lot less then going to the boutiques. So I am going to try on as many dress I can an then order it form topbridal.

My hair is going to have waves or curls. I want the look to be natural, not a lot of hair spray It will be half up and half down. I am going to be wearing a Swarovski hairpiece, and chapel veil.

Okay I am kinda freaked about having my hair down in curls since it thine and straigt so Iam reconsidering thnking about a more traditional look like the 5th or 7th (2ndrow 1st) Pic. or the one below

I was thinking about doing my own make-up or have the help of my bridesmaids. Two of them went to beauty school so I shouldn't have any problems. I currently use bare menirals and love it. I want the make up to look as natural as well.

My nails, I always get the standard french tips, but this time I am going with the lilies and crystals on them. It going to look so cute and it ties in with my theme!

I purchased the beads from www.firemountaingems.com. The price is great 1lb for only $8.00 and the shipping is very reasonable. I am bought 3lbs of black bugles beads and 1lb each Hot Pink and White Seed beads. It's a criss cross design like the one on the web page above. I figured we can keep a set for ourself. I bought the 30 gauge wire on ebay, hopefully it works, the site suggested thread. But if not I can always sell the wire.

Got The beads, just waiting for the wire cant wait to start working on these!

Okay so were having an open bar. My question is what is a good white wine that is fairly inexpensive? I more of a Merlot person so I have no idea.
