I am doing parasols but will only be using them for pictures. I ordered mine from http://www.weddingfavours.ca/p/3050/Coloured+Paper+Umbrellas.html I ordered two of the same color (turqoise) as I too was worried that the ivory would look yellowish in the pictures, especially if it was a different color then my dress.

It is your dream day and you need to do what you and your FI want to do, not what other people want you to do. I am the first grandchild on the one side of family and everyone was shocked when I mentioned we were doing a DW rather then an at home ceremony and traditional reception. At first I thought maybe we had made the wrong decision, and I was tired of people telling me that we shouldnt be having a DW. We finally decided that its what we want, and what we were going to do. Like you, the only people I really truly cared were there is my immediate family, mom, dad, and two brothers, and Fi only cared if his mom, dad, brother, and sister in law were there. Turns out they were all for a DW (my older brother had a failed engagement and lost a lot of money planning a wedding at home, so my parents were all for it, and FI brother and sister in law were married in Mexico and his family thought it was a great idea). Anyone else that comes in my opinion is extra and we will be happy they are there. I think you truly need to do what you want to do so you have no regrets. And if you do have an AHR then all those people can come then if they cant make your DW!

I love that frame! Where did you get it?

Thank you so much!!

I think Im going to have to purchase this! I have used a CHI hairspray in the past and it was awful (it wasn't this one though!) so Im going to give it a try!

Thats a really nice option. I think we had had that choice we might have had more people come, but oh well, Im happy with the group that will be coming!

Such sad news!! Their dresses were beautiful!

I am only having one dress for everything, but a lot of brides do have two dresses for various reasons for their wedding day. I guess if you really think you need two then go for it, otherwise spend that money somewhere else!

They are both beautiful, but you need to go with what you want, not what your friend thinks will be best.

Are sparklers classified as fireworks? If I was you I would call the airline and enquire about if you can bring them or not. If not, could you possibly ship them to your destination prior to your wedding.

Our guests are paying $1800 for one week all inclusive with everything included. We originally wanted to find someone a little bit cheaper, but just couldn't find a resort we liked with a lower price. I haven't heard a single thing from our guests about the price being to high.

Tipping is something I had not even considered! Wow, wish I would had cause that affects our budget significantly. I know that any services provided at the resort we are getting married at there is an 18% tip already added on, but the services we are using that arent provided from the resort I guess we will have to tip.

Hi Ladies! I need your help. I am getting married in Jamaica in January. I have extremely fine straight hair, but plan on wearing my hair half up half down and curled. Im looking for a hairspray that will hold the curls and also be good in the humidity. If anyone can recommend one I would really appreciate it!

I'm looking for some information, and Im hoping someone who has been to this resort can help. My aunt was at this resort about 6 months ago with a friend and they hired someone at the resort, possibly named Spencer, to transport them from excusions and back to the resort. She did give me a card with his contact number, but somewhere in between moving from house to house and city to city, it dissapeared. I am wondering if any of you may know who this person is and if you would know how to contact him or have his contact number. Thanks in advance!

Use round dowel rods. They will be way more sturdy to hold up your topper in your cake. You can buy them at any craft store for really cheap.

One of my closest friends goes there once a year every year. She said that when it first opened it really didn't have much Jamaican feel to it. When she came back last year she said she felt like they had incorporated more and more jamaican things throughout the past few years. She told me the Jerk Chicken is absolutely amazing!!
