I had dress regret too but as much as I spent on my dress, it is what it is. I like it. But I wish I had tried on a one strap dress or gotten something flowy.

R I think you told me before but I forgot. With my wedding now 25 days away I have to get everything. Where is it that you bought your shoe "I Do" again? Was it Michaels? If so what aisle?

Thanks for posting this especially since my dress is lace too. I wanted to trash it but as of today I went to TJ Maxx and picked up a nice white summer dress that could pass off as a nice beach wedding dress for $16! I figure I'd rather wear that instead than the hassle of my own dress in the sand etc. I'm still on board with the TTD, just not my gown itself lol.

Thanks for this info!

We hired Kevan Stewart from JA Weddings. Many brides raved about him on hear and so we decided to hire him. He's great with email responses and can work with you.

We're going to use the steel drum band as I heard they are good. However, we are not using the resort dj as one of my girlfriends just got back from her wedding at the Suites and said he sucks. We booked an outside dj. Music is an important part of our wedding, so we can't have nonsense in between.

So beautiful! Too bad he's not nested in Jamaica because I sure would've hired him!

Can any past brides give us future brides input as to whether the Suites provides a dinner menu at the guest table or on their plates at the reception? My wedding almost a month away!

How'd you get it to stay at $10K? We are also having 45 guests but we went over our 10K unfortunately.

The camera cut outs are so cute! Does the craft store have an online website??

THANK YOU for posting this!! It's so unique and different. You've inspired me as I now want to do one after our wedding!!

Thanks Daisy. I figured if anything we would head to the beach resort as well for more privacy. Hopefully our photographer can do it really early in the morn. I want to be able to enjoy our day after wedding breakfast delivery to the room. What time was your breakfast delivered & what time was your TTD session?

For brides that did the TTD the day after their wedding, whereabouts did your photographer take you? Did you stay on the Iberostar resort, go to Dunn's River Falls, where? I'm trying to gather ideas of where I want our photographer to take us. Please share! Thanks!

Very nice pics Daisy!! Congrats! Question where did you do your TTD on the Iberostar property or off property? And also I loved that you & your hubby got to dance under the stars on the beach. Priceless!

Also where in Negril are you honeymooning? We will be there too @ Couples Negril.

Right now I'm in between where to have my TTD. If I we do it Negril two days after our wedding (actually 3), I would have to dress my dress with me. However if I do it the very next morning after the wedding, I could simply give my mom my dress to bring back home and go to my honeymoon dress free. My photographer's boss is telling me that Iberostar is big enough to take pictures, but my thing I don't want our guests seeing us, you know what I mean? I'd rather go off property somewhere. I took cut the wedding survival kit. I'm still doing the OOT bags but keeping it simple. How many guests are attending your wedding?

Are any of your ladies doing a TTD session? If so whereabouts?

Thanks BeachBride! I've hired her!

Repost! For the past brides that who were married at the Suites and had a private reception, what types of stuff were done during the reception to keep your guests entertained and occupied? For example I've been to wedding where guests play games, or the bride and groom had dancers to entertain, to a little fire show. I'm just seeking ideas to fill the 4 hour window along with the dance with our mothers, the garter toss, cake cutting and typical dancing. Also can anyone tell me what the "grill chicken supreme" dish served at Aunt Ruby's entails?

BeachBride I've hired Rashel as my makeup artist and I'm considering hiring her hair stylist as well to do three hairstyles. Did you have the hair stylist only do your hair or did she style your bridesmaids hair as well?

Very nice thread. Congrats on your wedding! You've inspired me to order starfish bouts. A friend of mine suggested it too but you're right why spend $10 per bout when I can simply get 3 starfishes for $10. I wish you had gotten married last summer, simply bc I would've seen your posting about your wedding dress and would've order mine for just as cheap instead of spending the amount that I did on mine. Nonetheless I will be a beautiful bride either way. Congrats to you again!!

Awe thank you. I know it hurt me too a lot and still does. I know everyone has financial hardships. If we could pay for all of them to attend we would, but God knows my heart.

We're getting married at a different hotel, but we are having our honeymoon at Couples Negril! Whoo hoo!

For the past and fairly recent brides that who were married at the Suites and had a private reception, what types of stuff were done during the reception to keep your guests entertained and occupied?

Hey MrsGreen..it's me Tiff. I say go for it. If your mom is offering to make your day special, then let her. It's also a special day for her too, because her baby, you are getting married! My mom is my heart too and she is walking me down the aisle. I have 3 older sisters and can you believe NOT one of them are attending my wedding?? Two of them live in the islands and one lives in NJ. I thought the one in NJ would at least attend to represent on behalf of my other 2 sisters. But as long as I have my mom, I'm happy. Yes I will be emotional on my wedding day because naturally I want my sisters there. But God will create a beautiful day for me, my husband to be along with our close family and friends. So girl live it up! Sucks re the guests that aren't attending your wedding, but you're going to be a beautiful bride either way marrying your hubby to be!
