Thank you! Yeah that probably won't look right with a white dress : )

Yes, the flower is ivory and the actual flip flop is white.

No problem. I originally got them from an Etsy seller. She also has a Facebook page. She was great and I highly recommend her. Here is the link to her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/A-Priceless-Princess-Bows-Accessories/203881205459

Yes. Sorry, I forgot to post that.

These are size 7 1/2 silver heels from David's Bridal. I wore them as a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding in February for only a few hours so they are in like new condition. I really like them, but my feet are really narrow and my toes kept sliding and hitting the floor making them really uncomfortable for me. None of the other bridesmaids had this problem so if you don't have narrow feet, I am sure they will fit just fine. I will ship for free anywhere in the US.

I wore these flip flops for less than an hour for my beach ceremony in Jamaica in March. They show very little signs of wear. They are white flip flops that have been decorated with ivory satin ribbon, rhinestones, an ivory flower and a rhinestone starfish. I really love them, but can't think of anywhere else I could ever possibly wear them. I will ship for free to anywhere in the US.

Thanks! I got it off the rack at a bridal store in Aberdeen, Maryland (US). I can't even remember the name of the designer at the moment.

So I just got home from Walmart of all places, and they had sandals very similar to these but the straps were white and the bottoms were a different shade brown but the straps and . They are really cute and I am pretty sure they were under $15. I just ordered some flip flops from Etsy for my dress but I bought these too! Got a lot of other stuff for Jamaica too-looks like they just put out their summer stuff. (I live in Maryland)

Yep, very helpful. Your review was just what I needed to calm my nerves. I will be sure to post about our experience for other brides too. Jamaican Watersports prices were so much better than anyone else's, so hopefully more people will book them that couldn't afford the other companies prices after reading recent good reviews. Thanks!

Thanks so much for posting this. I have a tour booked with them for the day after my wedding for our 31 guests (I am hoping they all want to go anyway). So far Denise has been great to work with. Your comments definitely make me feel happy about my choice. Thanks!

Will there be a way to view this after the webinar? I am in going be in my friend's wedding that day and will miss it but am really interested. I get married next month at Iberostar!

Thanks for posting both prices. Do you know if Floral Fantasies charge a delivery fee?

Thanks Krista! I forget what the paperwork says - is the steel drum band a per hour charge? Are they charging you for that extra time? I'm not going to be hiring any additional musician(s) for the ceremony. I'm just going to use who they provide with the sound system. I would think that since they are already set up it wouldn't be a big deal, but you never know. I should be starting to finalize things with the WC soon since my wedding is 3 months away, so I will double with her as well.

Krista- The Steel Drum Band is extra. The 2012 price was $350/hr.

I just ordered 21 of the eco-friendly ones from justartifacts.com and it was $50 including shipping. They were $1.68 each. They had the best prices I could find. They shipped pretty quickly too. We go 20 cylinder shape ones and 1 heart shape one for us. I am so looking forward to setting them off : )

When did you get your information sheet/send it in?  I just emailed the resort a bunch of question  asking baout booking hte cajan resturant and the disco and i want to make sure i get it but she said that we will confirm that withthe information sheet one month before but everyone else seems to be saying it would be 3 months before. I want to make sure we get the DISCO as i have heard that if one of the brides from the suites or grand book it before you ..then your out of luck.

Yep I was able to get some sample photos from photographers of the bonfire, they look good but I am back to having the fire the night before due to time constraints the night of the wedding. I got my information sheet right when I booked but I have not got the final detail sheet yet and haven't sent them in anything besides what I had in mind. But I haven't confirmed anything with them yet. I would definitely be more concerned if I was trying to get the Disco, have you told her in that is what you want to do? I would try to get her to agree to it in an email so you have it documented.

Oops these are the ones I am wondering what Ebay seller has.

Do you know what Ebay seller you got these from. I didn't think I wanted wedges, but these are making me think twice. They are pretty!

Yep, take advantage of the Groupon special $17 for $70 worth of products. I have gotten this twice since I got engaged. Just ordered our invitations and invites and praying they come out good!

My fiance got his suit and we like it. We did the measurements ourselves and kept them pretty much exact, but rounded up based on other girls saying they are slim fit.  They are telling the truth! The suit fits my fiance, but he would prefer it a tad larger...so he is going lose five pounds lol. The company was really good with communication and clarified some of the measurements (he has very broad shoulders and they inquired if we mismeasured they also let us know we sent the incorrect pant opening-we forget to double it). We are having the rest of the groomsmen order from them.

Yeah, I am able to view them now. I think it kicked in at 155. 

Awww that is a great idea and so touching to be married on her birthday.

I love it!! I love pink dresses. I think I would have bought one if I found one earlier. I am having my briedesmaids in light pink though : )

Just joined and liked!

When we stayed at Sandals Whitehouse last March we did the horseback ocean ride. The ride to and from the ocean was not very exciting. Basically you go about a mile down a dirt road to the ocean and go the same way back..but going in the ocean on horseback and swimming with the horses was really awesome and made it worth every penny. : )  Hoping to go to Dunn's River when we go back to Jamaica.
