Welcome, Dana F! I love you as Mrs. Sloth on WB, its so rad to see you on BAB too now!
Oh man, I thought I was traditional, but that "flirty" look has me seriously tempted! For $500 a pop, maybe I could even do both!!! EEE!
Holy Moly, Can I have one of each, please? I'd also love to see the Offbeat look featured! Welcome Dana F.!!!
Thank you, BAB, for bringing so many cool new contributors to the site! I love all of them so far!
Welcome Dana! I am having trouble incorporating my daisy beach wedding theme…any ideas for a bride on a budget?

Awesome finds, and seriously I wish I'd found this blog BEFORE I bought my dress. D'oh!!!!
ooh DO MORE DO MORE!! I love this!!!!!
Thanks so much, everyone! I'm SO excited to be a part of this!
Welcome, Dana! I can already tell that you and I are going to become quite close. Your post has pretty much spent all of my Christmas money for me. Which I haven't even gotten, yet…
Great first post Dana F! I already have my dress but I would be interested in pulling a few ideas from the traditional ensemble. Thanks!
Love the Flirty and Modern looks. Congrats Dana. Your ideas are inspirational.
Welcome and thank you for this post! I could definitely use your assistance. I'm having a brunch wedding in March and have a dress: http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Satin-Off-the… (ivory) and a color palette: http://www.inspiredbride.net/2009/12/08/color-car…. I could really use some help rounding out my look — I am thinking contemporary romantic — especially jewelry and a shrug or wrap to wear with the dress.
Hey! your money saving idea are just great. Congratulations for such a great post. Waiting for more
Great post! Since you're taking requests, I'd love some help rounding out my wedding day outfit. I have a dress and a color palette and about $200 for shoes, jewelry and a wrap!

These are great finds, specially that white house dress. It is beautiful. Great post!
