Never heard of it, but it sounds very nice. Ill be watching this thread to see what you come up with.

Congrats!!! Pictures of the POND GAZEBO would help me out a lot!

Thanks! Very helpful.

Welcome and happy planning!

So heres the update! The plan was to be relaxer free and that didnt work out as planned, so I relaxed me hair 4 weeks ago. The wedding is about 6 months away, so in the meantime I do plan to wear a sew in and allow my hair to grow some more. The week before the wedding Ill have it removed and get a fresh one for the wedding. For all the brides that have married already, please post pics of what worked on your wedding day!

Can we at least have the link in this thread?LOL!

Congrats! Huge milestone!

Beautiful wedding pics! Congrats to you!!

Does anyone have pricing information for the sashes and chair covers?

Hi ladies! One more June 09 Riu bride here! We have been engaged since February and decided on a DW a few months after planning a traditional wedding. This is what we've accomplished so far: Wedding/Reception location: Booked at the Riu Ocho Rios, JA Photographer:booked Wedding dress ordered Save the dates: done Invitations are bought Florist: Booked Right now I getting ready to get back into the planning process and am looking for a baker, bridesmaid dresses, welcome bags and ideas, etc, etc. Happy planning ladies!

Reading is fundamental! I was just wondering the same thing!

Im also gettimg married on a Friday afternoon. I figured that my guests would have time to enjoy Jamaica that way.

Wow, your review is making me rethink this resort....

My hair is short now but I was going to let it grow out. Diva, how short does your hair have to be in order for those invisible braids to look nice? Since the last post, has anyone found any solutions? Hey there sweetie! My hair was about 3 1/2 inches long when I had the invisible braids done and I liked them a lot. She explained to me that they worked better with shorter hair. Theres also a technique called tree braiding for longer hair that will yield the same result. I've decided to wear a sew in for the wedding and then have the salon at the Riu style my hair the day of. This way if it gets wet before hand it wont matter much. I do plan to splurge on some good hair though :.)

Mine will be out about 6 months before, but our site has been up and most people already knew about it, so I wasnt in a mad rush to get them out.

Or is it just a common thing maybe to wear something other than your wedding dress at the reception ? I'm curious. I have our session scheduled for the morning after (Saturday). I plan to wear my dress for the entire ceremony and reception, but not for the ttd session. Hopefully I can find a cheap dress($99 and under), that I can wear for the pics. if I change after the wedding it would be into a sundress, but something sexy! HTH!

I loved it btw. Mine was a size 4 and it ran a tiny bit small..I'd say it was more like a 2. It was slim through the ribcage area. They do run a bit small, I'm a street size 12, but ordered my dress a 16...I had to!

So hopefully - it works out for you! The pictures will be worth every penny anyways Hopefully after rinsing it I can hang it on the balcony overnight and be good to go!

We just gave one per couple since they doubled as place cards so it worked out well. Hmm, seems a little steep, I'll have to look around, Im sure that I could get them for less. My other option would be to get them off line and have them shipped to my grandmothers house on the island. I need about 25 bottles total. Thanks Maureen, Ill keep you posted.

Mine was fairly lightweight, and it was dry that night. I know that others have hung it to dry as best as it would and then folded it damp and put it in a plastic bag for the trip home. I don't think you'd want to dry it mechanically (as in put it in the dryer). I think that could do serious damage to both the fabric and the styling. You're better travelling with it damp and then hanging it to finish drying when you get home. But, if it makes you feel any better, my dress was MUCH cleaner coming out of the ocean than it was after a night of partying in it. The shower makes sense! Thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful welcome ladies! I feel right at home here!

I thought about doing labels but was unsure of what the actual size would be. I was happy with the tags because then guests could read the original label and have a true Jamaican souvenir. These favors doubled as place cards. So the guests found their bottle which had the name of their tabe on it. Each table was named after aJamaican rum drink. On the back of each tag/place card I typed the recipe for that drink. Fabulous! I agree with not covering the original label. Thanks for the ideas!
