A lot of girls did bring their own decorations. Some shipped them over before the wedding. Some brought them with them.

We purchased our flights just before they changed the baggage rule. We are going to be "grandfathered" in so we can take 2 bags each and carry on 1. We are taking all our own centerpieces, and are going to pack the crap out of them so hopefully they will all end up in one piece...*cross my fingers* Some resorts don't allow you to ship ahead of time, and some do.

I thought that if you were flying to Mexico the luggage rule didn't apply? I thought it was just nationally and in Canada.. Hmmmmm

I spoke with my travel agent about this.....You are correct if it is an international flight the baggage restrictions do not apply.
