  1. I'm back!! Everything was so much fun and turned out just how I wanted! Secrets brides: you won't be disappointed. The WCs are awesome and made sure everything ran smoothly. Here are a few pics for now, more to pics to come when I get them from the photographer! Note: I had my hair and makeup done by Pretty Faces Jamaica. [email protected] https://www.facebook.com/prettyfacesjm They were awesome! I'll update with more info about the day/weekend when I get some time, but wanted to send these for now...
  2. Awesome job ChocoTaco!!! Everything looks beautiful and you're so close to your wedding. You'll have an amazing day I'm sure. Can't wait to see pics when you're back! Congrats!
  3. Wow all of this is so amazing! You are a crafting machine! It looks beautiful and I'm sure your guests will be super impressed! Can't wait to see how it all turns out.
  4. Haha why thank you!! I didn't get it done at the hotel. I hired Pretty Faces to do my hair/makeup because they offer airbrush. I have to look up the exact cost, but they did my hair, plus airbrush makeup for me, my mom and two sisters, and a set of lashes on me. All of that was around $400, which I felt was reasonable. Here's the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/prettyfacesjm Also, she set a skype appointment with me before the wedding so we could talk about what I wanted. And I sent her several inspiration pics. Overall, I was happy with the look!
  5. SO MUCH FUN! I seriously wish I could do it all over again because it all went so fast. The hotel is amazing, the staff is incredible, and we felt like celebrities the entire time. Since our wedding was on the beach in front of the preferred club pool, we had a decent amount of looky-loos, but they were all very quiet and respectful. After the wedding so many people came up to me, Joe, or members of our family to tell them how beautiful everything was. But as Joe said, they were mostly commenting on me. He started saying "what am I, chopped liver?" Haha. I'm including a couple pics below, which were taken by the Secrets hotel photographers. We are still waiting for our pics from Saab weddings to come in. I'll also update my planning thread http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/85907/alexisinjamaicas-secrets-st-james-4-27-13-planning-journal with info and pics when I have some time to process it all.
  6. I flew American and had two flights to get to Jamaica. The first flight from LA to Miami was a pretty big plane and they let me store it in the pilot's closet. Plus they were super nice to us for the whole flight! No upgrade unfortunately as the flight was full. Oh well. The second flight from Miami to Jamaica was a smaller plane so there wasn't a closet, just hangers at the back of first class. But I was able to hang it there no problem. I wasn't too worried about it getting wrinkled because the hotel also steamed and pressed my dress when we arrived. It all worked out!
  7. Aww thank you so much, you are too sweet! Just got back and it was amazing!! It all goes so fast so ENJOY IT!!
  8. Thanks!! Yep, I'll send to you. And I'm leaving tomorrow morning!! Thanks! Please do borrow! Wow, waist length hair! I'm jealous!! Good point! I also think it might be windy, so I have to take that into consideration as well.
  9. Hair and Makeup Inspiration: These are the pics I currently like. I normally have shoulder length hair but I just got extensions for the first time ever this past weekend. Still getting used to it, but I like it! The hair now comes to bust length so I can do a lot more with it. I have a pretty huge head so I'm not even considering having my hair all up. Just down or half up. Simple and mostly straight Half up with loose curls All down with loose curls The two makeup looks I keep coming back to are very similar. Dramatic smoky eyes and neutral everywhere else, finished with a pale pink lip. I know this is probably too much for daytime on the beach though but I can't help it!
