I have to say thanks for flagging up this dress box, i checked it out and the great part is that it meets the restrictions for travel with Virgin Atlantic AND best of all if its personalised I can use to flash the check in desk and on board hostesses to get an upgrade and hopeful a special mention by the captain... is that bad???

SusanN Dean, love your tiara.where did you buy? I am still trying to source one that I love and can't make my mind up

Welcome Rebeccauk, I felt like I have been talking to myself, except for prior conversations with catererbride. How is your planning progressing? I still have quite a few things left to do. What made you choose your choice of destination and venue?

Where are you May 2011 Jamaica brides..its 1 month 27 days and counting for me. You guys all done or too busy for BDW forum

2 months to the day and still lots to do. BM dresses ordered and should be here first week of May. Still need veil, my shoes tiara, jewellery, something old something new etcc... Oh boy better get moving

Wow some amazing song choices... i had to look a few of them up as I am bad on naming songs. Once I heard them I was like ohhhhh yeah..

Catererbride...just how many Jamaica UK bides have you found apart from me... surely there are more..

Catereerbride... I was starting to feel lonely. The UK brides thread has been hijacked by ladies who are getting married in Mexico and I cannot keep up and out of the loop with their conversations. The one constant in planning seems to be the spiralling budget..something you seem to be experiencing also. How often do you get on this site? I am sure that your plans will come together if you doing it all yourself make list, ask for recommendations and use this helpful site. My guests are covering their own flight and accommodation we are covering food and drinks e.g. the reception. I am definitely favouring the saxophonist also Done: photographer (Michael Saab), date, flights and honeymoon (which will be Rosehall) we did consider going to Negril for the second week but decided we didn't want to and now i wish we had. So a few days after the wedding we will make a hop/skip/jump over to Rosehall Resort Spa. We have 60 guest coming so far but only about 20 (all from the UK) have actually booked flights. I hope people dont say them coming, mek me pay and then don't show up cos I will go all island on their backside.... Still to do.. finalise the scripts, decide if having rehearsal dinner, choose flowers, get BM dresses (actually going to 2 stores on Tues and Wed), my shoes, jewellery and the list goes on.... sigh...... Girl keep entering the competitions, you got to be in it to win it!!! I did laugh though...too funny

UK Jamaica Brides or grooms don't desert me now. What are you ladies choosing for flowers I am undecided as they are all so beautiful. I still need to decide on which musician to choose for the ceremony...saxophonist or pianist Come on ladies let me know what you have done and what you have left to do.

Our RSVP date is today 28th Feb and me and the fiance have taken the view that if you have not RSVP'd then you are not coming. Not chasing anyone since that is the point of RSVP's we are very prepared to tell anyone calling on Mar 1st that we cannot accommodate... I am leaving that conversation for hubby not sure I can be cruel but he has a bee in his bonnet about the fact that people have not replied especially as its a destination wedding he is appalled at people lack of courtesy...

You made me laugh out loud. Sometimes i still cannot believe we won. So cliched but i never win anything- can't say that anymore. Andrea is my WP and she is so patient, looking forward to seeing her in person. At the moment i have oleander terrace booked but if my numbers go beyond 50 it may have to be moved. Winning the competition was such a blessing but the package only covers me and the fiance, we try to remember how great this is but all the other costs are overshadowing this at the moment,BUT i know once we get to half Moon we will know it was worth it!!! Hopeful the future inlaws will be of some help but I know what you mean about tastes..lol. Hopefully this site will guide you in finding a wedding planer and if she is good can source some of the vendors for you. Keep me posted on progress i never tire of hearing about wedding plans.

Oh forgot to mention that a friend who makes cakes offered to make my wedding cake (although one is included in the package) only problem is not sure if you can bring a cake into JA, what if it gets confiscated? I have been trying to get some sense from the embassy/high commission in the UK but no joy... so that means finding a local vendor- no idea where to start so will have to use search option on this site... what about you?

I am getting married at Half Moon- Montego Bay, the resort has a WP who is very helpful and responsive to all my questions but I have to say that I am limited to using their vendors since there is a ridiculous charge should I wish to bring in a vendor from off property. So far this has worked in my favour as regards the photographer, I amusing Michael Saab whose work me and hubby really loved. I have thought about getting the flowers from local vendors but knowing where to start just makes my head spin. I have guests coming from US, Barbados, St Lucia, Trinidad and the UK and of course some from JA. The price of flights have increased so for those in the UK who have not booked yet, serves them right. Everyone knows you have to get in there ASAP, the closer you get to your holiday date the pricier it can be...(sorry my bridezilla side rears its head every now and again) Your partner being Jamaican might be helpful for you to get some recommendations from them failing that this site is truly a godsend. I can imagine that you are stressed, I would have no idea where to start if I had to choose a wedding planner etc.. but of course we can surprise ourselves sometimes. You are probably wondering how we came to choose Half Moon- well we or should I say my fiance entered an won a wedding competition that ran in a magazine here in the UK and we won... we actually won and were amazed for days- the madness took over and before we knew it we had invited the world. In hindsight given the cost... essentially we are now paying to cater for guests- we should have restricted the list to immediate family only. Too late now... sigh.. I am hoping to make some kind of savings but its difficult even though we are keeping it simple. What is your theme if any? my colours are ivory and bordeaux.

Super... sounds like a plan.

Tinasett14...it might well be right. Half moon is now a rockresort, lets hope we some some all inc packages on their pricing plans in the very near future...

Hi, I am a May bride, I fly into Montego bay on the 17th...would that be too late? if not I am definitely interested

Hi catererbride I was beginning to wonder if i was alone. Where are you getting married? My biggest struggle is the budget and trying to stay within it. Followed closely by guests who say they are coming but yet have not booked. At last count I have 45 guests and only about half have actually booked. I am trying to be cool about it but I am a control freak and need to know NOW...lol. Surely guests must know if they are attending its not like the wedding is down the road and around the corner... sigh Like you i have good days and bad days...

Come on Jamaica UK Brides where are you so I can join in....

Hello char79uk....thanks for making me feel welcome.

User name: gingerpeach Location: Half Moon Montego Bay Wedding: 21 May 2011 Any other Half Moon Brides out there?

Hello fellow Jamaica UK Brides, Great to have this forum, I am getting married May 2011 and still lots to do. Anyone booked a photographer, what about your cake? a friend wants to make my cake for me but I am worried about travelling with said cake 1. not sure if can briung such things into JA and 2. Will it travel well. As for shopping/suppliers I am trying to stick to my budget by checking out ebay,tapping into the creativity of friends (you will be suprised at what they can do when you ask for help). Wedding fairs are also great and you can take advantage of show discounts so go with a list if things in mind so you can benefit from show prices... Still planning but I know all will be well...

Hello Ladies, I am from London and getting married May 2011 Montego Bay Jamaica. Getting very excited. Are any of you ladies members of the UK You & Your wedding website? This BDW forum is so very helpful and I am blessed to have found it.
