Thanks for starting this thread!

This is great information to know! Thanks Yolanda. And Misti - I am totally following you - you seem super organized!

It's funny I totally didn't want bling but now that I have seen it, I have the same motto "more bling"...lol Espeically when they dim the lights to see all the sparkly things... ha ha ha

Thanks so much for posting the pic of the plantation set up! It looks great!!!

Beautiful!

Amazing! They do the bustling for me, not sure how it will work but she showed me in the store but shortening the train is a good idea too!

I love it too! Beautiful! Love your dress! I am booked at the Plantation but I was under the assumption that it was upstairs, do you have a choice or is it 100% downstairs. And in that case, can anyone walk through your reception? If anyone has a floor plan of what the restaurant looks like I would really appreciate it. Thanks, Kel

Awesome review - I am a vegetarian too so I will be sure to bring some protein bars and maybe a few bans of beans with me! lol

Sounds awesome! Thanks

Thanks for the helpful review - the bus ride was a big concern for us too, especially with Kids coming.

Thanks for sahring your ceremony details! This is very helpful

Amazing stuff!!! congrats

So ridiculous! I love the lanterns! I just saw some on sale at bouclair, I am going to start looking. Great work - thank you for sharing

Wow - your details are simply beautiful and elegant. Congrats!

So exciting!!!

Thanks ladies - i really appreciate it. Instead of lace around the bottom I am actually going to just have a really long veil - it works out to be less expensive. I may also add a few swarovski crystals around the bottom to give it a little more glimmer. Wooo hoo sparkly pretty things! lol

Oh one more thing... I got the 5pm slot on my wedding day (it was the only time left), anyone else have that time booked? It seems to late and Keisha said the dinner starts at 6:30. Anyone out there have the same thing? It just seems like a tight timeline. Thanks, Kel

Those are awesome pics! I just heard back from Keisha and she said the ceremony is only 15 minutes long! It seems a little short but if it is not a religious ceremony I think that is not bad, I'll just walk really really slowly down the aisle so it lasts longer. lol I have booked the Plantation Restaurant and I have been trying to find pics of this set up. Others keep saying to search the forum but I can't seem to find pics of it anywhere. Anyone have any?

Stunning!

Thanks for sharing this Theresa and congrats!!! I can't wait to see pics!

Hi Ellen, I actually designed it myself. I did this by scanning the flowers on the paper on the outside of the pocket fold. Then using Photoshop, I cleaned up the image and adjusted the colours to match our wedding colors, red and blue. I know not everyone has the "luxury" of knowing photoshop so I would suggest searching Google under "Royalty Free" images. That way you avoid copyrighting something that doesn't belong to you. Also, I would search on this wonderful Forum for Wedding Logos, there are some great ideas that can help you figure out what you like and narrow down your Google search. For instance, if you see a logo with a Palm Tree that you like, you could Google "Palm Tree Royalty Free" and you should be able to come up with some free images. I hope that helps. Kel

Hi All, I am posting the instructions to my new blog. I am breaking it down into parts so the first part explains how to make the pocket fold. http://lifeofkle.wordpress.com/2011/05/02/diy-boarding-pass-wedding-invitations-part-one-pocket-fold/ I will try to have part two up soon! Thanks for all the positive feedback. Let me know if you have any questions or if anything is unclear. Cheers, Kel

Thanks for everyone's kind words! I am still working on putting up the instructions... there's alot that goes into them. Tdotey - I made up the template myself, it was really simple. I will try to get the instructions up tonight - they are very detailed. Thanks again, Kel

Thank you soo much for sharing this thread. I booked the Plantation restaurant and I didn't have an option in price, it was $1000.00. I will double check to make sure I am getting the extended time! Once again, you ladies all put my mind at ease. Thank you.

Thanks for the review! Amazing! I love the set-up.
