Girls - I just got the flower girl basket in the mail!! Although it is super cute... there are some things you may want to know if you were thinking about ordering it.. It is a lot bigger than what I expected. Thank god my flower girl is going to be six years old because otherwise I don't think she'd be able to carry it due to these are real shells and it is quite heavy. Pictures Attached. Also the shells are glued together and I had to pick out a lot of the extra glue from the glue gun all throughout this. It ended up costing me a total of $43.00 with shipping. Before I ordered one again I would probably try making one myself!!

Oh I love it!!!!!! I really love the whole lounging feel to the reception!! I was really thinking about doing that but I had a feeling it was going to be crazy expensive....

I 100% agree... What are your ideas of incorporating white? We are mostly doing everything white except the girls dresses and the guys khaki pants but pretty much everything else will be all white!!

We chose Beaches Resort in Negril Jamaica! We also wanted to have children in attendance at our wedding because they play a huge role in our lives and we couldn't leave them out. We found Beaches to have just the right amount of kid friendly and adult fun!! Good luck choosing!!

I love the black on white idea!!! Especially with the white shells as an accent!! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/73950/my-inspiration-board There's a link to my inspiration board!!! I am so excited to do the pashminas for the ladies!! I think it is so elegant looking!!

Awww, I'm so happy I have finally found somebody else!!! Have you decided what parts are going to be white yet?!?!?

I just ordered last night from Vistaprint!! Right now they are offering 100 postcards for free and 25 brochures for free!! My shipping was $8.60. It goes up depending on how much you put in your cart!!

Just wanted to bump this for all you girls!! These are adorable and I think would make a great addition to bridesmaid gifts!!

I love everything!!! Great Great Planning Thread!!! You didn't forget anything your day looked perfect!!!! I have a question for you.... how in the world did you get your print on Vista Print to be slanted?!? I have been trying and trying and it just doesn't let me it only moves at 90 degree angles!!

Any word on the wood carver?

Very cool!

What is everyone doing with their parasols? Having their bridesmaids walk down with them instead of flowers?

Thank you so much for the VERY detailed insight!! It was exactly what I was looking for!!

I would buy water down at your destination just a case maybe your wedding coordinator at the resort could even do it for you before you arrive. They are pretty good about stuff like that!! Grandma lulu's cookies were actually featured on Rachel Ray and are delicious!! http://luluscookies.com/order_case.htm

Yeah!! Finally another bride in 2013!!! Where are you planning your wedding?

The personalized beach chair covers are a neat idea too!!

Never having been to Jamaica I am curious about the airport situation... I want to include in my pre-travel brochures information about the airport. What happens when the plane lands? Do custom officials come on the plane first before you can depart? Also how does customs, immigration and luggage claim work at the airport?? Any information you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

Is anybody having a white wedding theme with small color accents?? I would love to toss some ideas back and forth!!!

There are tanning beds with 99% bronzing rays and 1% burning rays so rarely anybody burns in them. Ultra bronzers you should checkout your local tanning salons and see what they offer...

My first job was at a tanning salon and I would definitely recommend to go tanning before the wedding. A lot of tanning salons will even offer you a package for your bridesmaids also!!! Start out sloooow in the tanning max 5 minutes to start and work your way up. I would really say to go in a bed or a booth about 10 - 12 times and then add in at least 2 or 3 ultra bronze sessions before you leave for your trip!!

Well they are always there so you can go back and purchase more if you need to!! But it really is such an awesome deal!!!

Just starting my planning process as I have lots and lots of time! But for you girls who are almost about to get married maybe you can clarify this for me!! 1) What is the standard reception that is included with the group booking of ten or more rooms?

This is such a weird situation. If this was me I would tell her that because you are having a destination wedding you are having a small intimate wedding. Because of this you need to have a small wedding party or things will not be proportioned properly. Because who wants to have a huge wedding party and not many guests.... Especially if she is already making things difficult she is going to continue to be a pain in the butt. Let me know of the outcome and good luck!!

Love the fireworks idea!! I've honestly never heard of cold fireworks until you just mentioned them!!

How did your maid of honor like the Victoria's Secret beach line of the products you got her? I was thinking about giving my girls their tan extender as part of their gift!!
