    I won't be wearing pearls as my FI hates them! The meaning behind them is this: The ancient Greeks associated the pearl with love and marriage. http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-questions/wedding-dress-questions/qa/whats-the-tradition-behind-wearing-pearls.aspx?MsdVisit=1

    I ordered a few things from them. My items came fairly quickly. I didnt have to pay any duty or customs, but the shipping cost they charge is pretty high.

    I don't think there is a certain person who organizes it. I know my bridesmaids (I dont have a maid of honor) are all helping organize it with help from my mom and my future mother in law.

    It is your wedding and you need to do what you want!! We experienced some backlash from immediate family members about our decision to have a DW. We realized though that if ew wanted a dream DW we had to pick somewhere affordable for our family members. That was the one sacrifice we were willing to make in order to somewhat accomodate our family and friends. Other then that we are doing what we want and who ever shows up, shows up. Looking back in someways it might have been easier just to go elope just the two of us and do something once we got back. Good luck with your decision!

    Such a unique ring! I got a promise ring from my FI and it looks somewhat similar to this. What are you going to do for a wedding band?

    What about someone on etsy. They often do custom listings if you just send them a message explaining what you are looking for.

    We send out our STDs about a year in advance. We were really lucky because pretty much everyone RSVPd (even thought we didnt ask for one) so we have decided to forgot formal invitations. However, we were going to send them out about 6 months in advance. That way they have the information and all the necessary information to make their decision and book. I dont think there is a right or wrong time, it depends on the time of year you are getting married and your destination.

    For us photography was important, but not to the point of spending a rediculous amount of money and be in debt over it. We considered flying someone in, but that just wasn't in the budget. We then starting looking at local photographers in jamaica and I think got quotes from every single one. We ended up booking Merrick Cousley as his prices were great and his pictures are good. For $1200 we are getting full day coverage and all our photos on a disc.

    I don't know if you are sending out a pre travel brochure or anything, but we are, and we are going to include ideas of what to wear for our wedding.

    I love these!!

    I think you can definetly put your bridesmaids in one strap dresses even thought your dress is one strap. The dress I originally wanted to purchase was one strap and my bridesmaid dress is one strap. I ended up going with a different dress in the end. I think you can for sure do it!

    Could you possibly go to a bridal store and try on that dress that is close with it and veils to find the right one. I thought I knew what I wanted with my dress but when I went to try them on with my dress I found one that was completely different then what I expected. The ones I thought I wanted didn't look good at all.

    We are using those very same bags from cheaptotes. I think they are decent quality and we are planning on ironing on our monogram to the bags. I think for the price they are worth it!

    My Fi is usually a really light packer (thank goodness!), so I plan on using his suitcase for all our wedding stuff. That way we wont need to bring an extra bag at all!
  20. JayKay
    Your bags look great! Your guests are going to love them!

    Beautiful dress!! It may be a formal bridesmaid dress or it also might be just a dress from a store at the mall for example. I would try a bridal shop they may know. If you are really desperate for the exact same dress you could consider having them made.
