Good Question! i am also having the steel pans for the ceremony, and the champagne etc.. following the ceremony.. I have emailed the wedding coordinator to inquire about what songs the steel pans normally play during the bride and wedding party walking down the aisle etc.. so i will let you know if they come back with anything helpful

I am curious too.. i know i have mentioned this before, and i keep forgetting to ask the WC, but.. My wedding is on a Thursday, at the Beach. and we are doing a Bonfire for the reception. so i am curious as to how they handle that.. i really need to remember to ask her the next time i am emailing her with my newest list of questions. I still have just over 4 months until i get married.. but my to do list keeps getting longer instead of shorter.. i cross one thing off, and add 3!! lol..

Yayy!!! How exciting!! Congratulations!! Can't wait to see some pictures and to hear all about it!!!!!!!

Yay! you can't go wrong with dress#1!! it is beautiful! is it from dailyshop.com? I looked on that site and i couldn't find it anywhere..

That's crazy that it took so long!! Were you able to change your name and all that stuff without it?

Ohh i like the first one!!!!!

These are great! I actually used message in the bottles for my actual wedding invitation everyone who got them RAVED about them... infact we sent them out a few months ago and we are still hearing about them... and how awesome they were.. and how it was the best wedding invitation they have ever gotten etc... good job! they look awesome!!

They float until the flame dies out. once the flame dies out in them, that is when they start to come down. so they are totally safe Originally Posted by ladykry Once the lanterns have flown.. What happens afterwards? What goes up must come down right? Is it safe?

Thanks Tori! I will check out ebay!

Hey Ladies, Has anyone looked into, or thought about how to do a streaming video of the wedding ceremony for those who couldn't make it?? My FI and I really want to do this if we can, as our Grandparents are not able to make it to the wedding.. and we would LOVE to have a streaming video for them to watch.. so they can be a part of it from far away... The issue is that we aren't sure if it is even possible? Does anyone know if and how we could do this?? any advise or thoughts on this would be really helpful!!!

From what i understand you do not have to pay. I was also told that if you bring the decorations yourself they don't charge to decorate it...

I Can't remember which Thread it was on... but i was reading where some ladies found a good site to order Organza Chair Sashes... Does anyone remember this, or know of a good site? I bought a bunch off of another bride on here... but now i need to purchase more as i am short!! lol.. and i can't find a good site.. that delivers to Canada for reasonable prices... Any ideas? Thanks Ladies

Ohh LOVE these!!!! We will be having raffia fans, and putting them on the chairs.. i don't know that the men will use them as much as the women will, however it is hard to regulate who would and would not get one.. We are also short by about 10 fans, but i will be buying more and making sure there is enough for every single person.. that way they can have the choice as to whether or not they want one... the basket idea is awesome, however then they may not feel like it is theirs to keep... and they would not take one... or else feel obligated to put them back afterwards... You could also maybe ask the lady that gave them to you, if you could order more and just ask how much they would cost etc.. and see if she could get you a discount on the remainder you need to buy

This is my exact plan also!! lol

I hear ya girl!! ....You could maybe explain to them politely that being all of the girls have different tastes, that you think it would be best if they purchased their own shoes, that way they can get whatever they want, and it takes the responsibility from them coming to you later wondering what they should do.. you are throwing the ball in their court to deal with it... etc... If you still want to buy their shoes but still want to try and shake off the stress of it all, then maybe give them some money towards the shoes.. like " hey i was thinking.. because you all have different tastes, i would like to give you 50 ( or whatever amount you want to give) dollars to go towards your shoes and that you ladies can still get the shoes you want, and they can still be our gift to you!" Good luck Darlin!!

WHAAAA???? Damn!! i booked her for my wedding in February.. to bad that promotion isnt extended to february!! hahahaha sweet deal for those who are getting her for October!!!! heehe

I feel your pain too Tori!! We decided we are not covering our BM's shoes or dresses as i bought each of them a coach bag, barefoot jewelery and Hair flowers.. so we decided that they can get thier own shoes and dresses. I found a nice inexpensive (89.00) dress online and told them how to get it, that way they can get it on thier leisure and get the size they want etc.. as i have 3 BM's all different cities in which they live and all different shapes and sixzes, from petite to plus size. This was the best way to accomodate that was by doing it online. Well two of them got thier dresses and the third one just complains all of the time about the sizing of it and what not.. Same with the shoes... I was thinking that they could all get the matching shoes as they have matching dresses, however none of them could agree on ones they liked... i have one BM who is quite picky and a bit of a princess so to speak..( same one who is complaining about everything she can with the dresses.. and has yet to order hers..) so she couldnt agree on shoes.. To make a long story short, in the end i just gave up,, told them That i no longer care what shoes they wear.. and they can pick out thier own shoes. That way they will each get what they want and i don't have to be stressed about it. I know it is frustrating Tori... and sometimes i wonder too why i chose to have 3 ladies in my wedding party haha... but at the same time i love them all and would not have it any other way.. i dont think... lol Try not to sweat the small stuff.. and if it gets to the point of you wanting to snap, if it is not too important to you for them to be matching, maybe tell them they are on thier own and they can pick out there own shoes like i did.. I just decided to pick my battles.. and the shoes for me were not worth stressing over... ( this is just to me..) But if they are on thier own.. then they each get what they like...

i mean TorI... sorry about the typo above!

Those are awesome Toru!!! nice find!!!!! did they have other colors?

My Girls and i are wearing barefoot jewelery for the ceremony, and then for flip flops or shows for later on in the evening i told them they could wear whatever shoes they wanted Quote: Originally Posted by Krysta lee ann hello ladies! so i am trying to figure out shoes for my BMs. they are wearing a malibu blue knee length dress form davids bridal so i want shoes that will match. on the other hand we have to walk in the sand....i think it looks silly barefoot witha nice dress... what should i do about shoes?!

Exactly.. Okay that makes me feel better. I agree with tipping the wait staff, bartenders etc... and the WC also, as they are all just paid the hourly wage the resort pays them.. and don't get a share of the HUGE chunk of money we are all shelling out for our packages.. so it totally makes sense to tip them, however i was struggling with the photographer.. as i am paying them good money , that goes directly to them! i feel better now hehehe

I hear ya!!! adding all those tips up is just not doable for us.. we just don't have it in our budget!! I am relying on all of the other guests to tip the bartenders, as they will tip them throughout the night... I agree with the photographer, maybe a thank you card or what not.. but if they own their own company?! I was planning on tipping the WC, and the servers... but thats all i was planning on.. People don't tip the photographers at weddings at home... so why tip them at a destination wedding? unless i am totallty missing something.. I am now quite worried about all this..

Oh My!! I didn't even think to tip the wedding photographer, or the Wedding coordinator... I could understand the Bartenders, But the photographers you are paying a big amount for the them... but at the same time... i would love to hear what everyone is doing!! and IF people are tipping.. how much is an appropriate amount? i agree!! things just add up and up... ugh lol i am going to need to get another job lol

Hey, I don't think it is the same script to be honest... you may want to check with the wedding coordinator on that, however if you want me to send you this one, i can do that
