I just ordered my welcome postcard from Vistaprint as well!!! Thanks for sharing yours, it was definitely my source of inspiration in designing mine.

Here is the ceremony sample provided by Nicole (thanks MrsRice!). Marriage officer speech sample.pdf

Thanks for posting! this is VERY helpful.

I did make them myself! Thanks for the positive feedback, it was definitely a labor of love.

Bree, great video!!!!

Can you please post a picture. Thanks!

Hi everyone! So my planning is coming along slowly but surely. Since I don't know how many people are coming, I thought I could at least work on my programs. I printed a rough draft of my programs and wanted to get everyone's opinion. I have attempted to attach the photos, but they look huge on my screen, I hope you guys can see them! Right now I am having some difficulty with figuring out where to put the "signing of the register". I think it has to go after we are pronounced man and wife but before we are presented as a couple. I have emailed Nicole for a sample ceremony but have not heard back from her yet. If you have one, can you please share with the group or PM me. Can't wait to hear your feedback! Thanks in advance!

Maura, your pics are great! Thank you for sharing.

GREAT JOB! I can't wait for your wedding blog! I definitely need a tutorial on how you made the wedding flower/ribbon decorations.

Starrysim, That is totally not an obvious question (at least not to me!). Thanks for asking for clarification, I was wondering the same thing! Quote: Originally Posted by starrysim Awesome, thanks. Sorry if this should be obvious, but does the sunset time refer to when the sun just begins to go down (ie, we should be taking our "sunset" pics a few minutes and up to half an hour after this time), or is this when it's already pretty dark? thanks

HI Katrina: I requested certain colors and they sent me all of the swatches in that fabric. Hope this info helps!

Ladies, you're posts couldn't have come at a better time. I too am STRESSING that no one will come to our wedding as I don't believe anyone until they actually book as well. It's definitely difficult to plan a reception when you have no idea of how many people are attending. As you know that dictates location, food, quantity of OOT bags, essentially EVERYTHING! I think I am just going to let it go and put it in God's hands. I will have an massive ulcer way before June if I keep stressing about this. I really do think we have to focus on the fact that regardless of who is in attendance, it will be one of the most important days of our lives and it will be shared by the two most important people, you and your husband. Now, I just need to keep repeating that to myself.......

Hi! Is your veil still available? If so, can you please post an upclose picture? What would the cost be to mail to 07093? Thank you!

Coconoir: My FI loves those 2 colors as well. Which one is he leaning towards? What color are your BM dresses? Mine are pink so we are leaning toward the light beige. We are ordering pants this week for the rehearsal dinner just to get an idea of what the quality of the suit will be, but by looking at everyone else's pictures, the suits will be just fine.

I see everyone mentioning Tai Flora. On my confirmation document it says Flower Studio. I emailed Nicole but am still waiting for her response. Does anyone know which one is really the florist?

Your pics are AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing.

Your wedding was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing so much information with the group. You are truly inspiring and making me step up my decorations! I know a few people have asked, but can you please share your templates with us? Thank you!

I received my Jamaica Guide booklets yesterday. They will definitely be a great addition to our Welcome Bags.

We booked Marcia too!!! It's so good to hear great reviews about her and her work.

MrsDeloatch: Thanks for the info! I totally forgot about his outfit for the welcome dinner! I ordered swatches last night and am really excited to see them. He is pretty sold on the idea of ordering from studiosuits so maybe I can get him to get his welcome dinner pants from there too.

This website has been such a blessing! I just finished reading this entire thread and want to give a great big THANK YOU to everyone who posted pictures and tips in this thread, it is a tremendous help! FI and I just ordered the $99 Linen swatches in Natural, Beige, Light Beige, English Beige & Dark Beige. We can't wait to receive them!

Congrats Brie! Have a wonderful wedding!!!!

Breeze: I can't believe your Mom made your dresses! You guys looked absolutely amazing! My fiance likes the suits your husband and groomsmen wore, can you please provide more details about their suits...Is it the regular linen suit, what color linen did they order, did they wrinkle badly? I like the weight of Linen but hate how it wrinkles and looks messy at the end of the day. MrsDeloatch: What color did your fiance get? Thank you for any info you can provide!

That quote sounds very high to me as well. Candice quoted me the following: Bride only- US$90 / Bride group rate- US$80 Bridesmaids/Mother of Bride - $70 each for one to four people Bridesmaids/Mother of Bride - $65 each for over four people Perhaps you should contact her or perhaps I too should get lessons and apply my make-up myself. I am most worried about being a big SHINY MESS, but got some good product recommendations from a make-up artist.

Thanks for the info! I just ordered the "One Love" booklet and will call back in a few weeks when the Travel & Attractions brochure is available.
