And are you wearing a hair flower? Thanks for the suggestions! Hmm, maybe I will bring a couple pieces to fill it out more.... And it actually started to look cuter as the curls started to fall later in the evening. They did a roller set and just pinned it back. And I am wearing a hair flower, probably with a birdcage veil that just goes over the right eye. I'll see if I can find a pic. I tried the veil with the hair & it looked nice.

Those are so nice-- I love the RSVP card!

Hey Ladies, So... I decided to have a hair trial today.... Lemme know what you think! I brought these as my inspiration pics: And this is how it came out: (pardon the towel hanging down... lol) I went to the local beauty school to have it done so it only cost $15-- I figured it was worth it to see what the style would look like on me... :-) Hoping the "real deal" will be a little better.

Thank you Nat!!!! Congratulations! Glad everything went so well-- and good to know about Steve & the DJ! Can't wait for pictures. :-)

Debating whether I should wear this or my actual wedding gown for my TTD.... HMMMMM.....

Kathy- Glad to hear your dad is okay! Trayce-- what an amazing planning thread!!!! My wedding is two weeks from today and the wedding coordinator JUST told me that I won't be able to have lobster as our meal..... my parents are NOT happy about this. Still trying to figure something out.

WOW! Awesome planning thread!

Happy wedding day Jac!!!!

Wow-- your pictures are beautiful! Congratulations on a wonderful day!!!

We're planning to stay together the night before the wedding and then separate in the morning and see each other at the ceremony.

Welcome back Mrs!!! And congratulations! I'm so happy to hear that everything went so well! Can't wait for your review & pics! How did you have the reception set up? We have 55 people coming so our group is almost as large as yours. So you guys had lobster tail? Jascynthia just told me two days ago that it is unavailable for my wedding , which is 2 weeks from today. My parents are NOT happy.

We're planning on getting them an album of the wedding photos & have tossed around the idea of upgrading their room as a thank-you. I think they'd enjoy the extra space because they're staying for a week, but my niece & nephew will be staying in their room for the 4-day weekend.

Thanks for this review-- it's nice to hear from a groom!

I think it'll look nice for them to pick their own color & style, esp. if they get colors that complement each other. (I love how Sarah's turned out!) I gave my bridesmaids a color & they each picked out a dress they liked. They're all totally different shapes & sizes so I can't imagine trying to find a dress that all 3 of them loved-- this was much better for us & I think it'll be less stress on you too. Here's what mine ended up picking: Maid of Honor/Sis Bridesmaid #1 Bridesmaid #2

Love it! Everything looks great!!!

They're beautiful MarieSam. I'm doing artificial flowers too!

OMG... I LOVE those candleholders! Sooo gorgeous!!!

Those came out so nicely- I love the "tears of joy" packets!

Here's what I got for my girls: When I was in India earlier this year for work, I picked up some unique jute tote bags for each of my BM’s. I stuffed each one with the following goodies: Matching coin purse (also from India): DIY Maid of Honor/ Bridesmaid tanks: Starfish Necklaces (on sale for $9.99 at Kohls): DIY flip-flops ($1 at Michaels): Pashminas in their own little pouch ($4 on clearance at World Market): Passport Holders ($4 on clearance at World Market):: (they fit the theme of their bags) Luggage Tags ($1 each at Michaels):

I sure did print menus. But at least they were FREE from Vistaprint.... And from what I've heard & seen, the wedding cake is the dessert.

(chicken fingers, pizza, burgers and fries, lasanga....etc....) She told me that too, but she still didn't know what the vegetarian entree was, so I guess it'll be a surprise.... Quote: Originally Posted by lmdels For the centerpieces she said they use the flowers from the ceremony along with candles and colored water().

For the u shapped table she said the head table section of the "U" would seat 6-8 people. I'm doing the "U" shape too- she confirmed that we could fit our group of 55 in that formation at the Blue Lagoon. (Yay!) I made inexpensive centerpieces to bring down with me & I think we'll just use the ceremony flowers for the head table.

AAARRRGGH! I FINALLY heard from Jascynthia, and she tells me that they have no lobster available as advertised in their Caribbean menu! Why not let people know that it's only available at certain times of year, or subject to availability, or SOMETHING! It's two weeks before my wedding and 80% of my guests chose that for their entree!!!

I'll take all 8. I just decided to do OOT bags so I've been looking everywhere for inexpensive bags!

I'm interested in the bags!

Awesome review, Andi!
