    Love the idea of bringing the turquoise in with a ribbon! And your flower options sound really pretty! I can't take credit for the pomander/bowl idea, another BDW bride gave me the idea first! Here's what hers looked like. I am using Tai Flora, but they are also the florist used by Secrets. So if you get a proposal from Secrets it's actually Tai Flora. I reached out to Tai Flora a couple months ago so by the time I got contacted by Secrets to make all of my choices for food, music, cake, flowers, etc. I already had a proposal for the flower portion ready to go. They are providing us with: - two post archway with purple fabric (I bought some online and will bring it with me) and crystals ($500) It'll look like this, but there won't be those two pillars with flowers - my bouquet of purple vanda orchids, purple hydrangeas, purple lisianthus, and purple calla lillies ($360) - bridesmaid's bouquet of purple hydrangeas and purple calla lillies ($210) - boutonnieres of purple calla lilies ($25 each) - 10 pomander balls with deep purple and fuchsia carnations ($850) It's not cheap but I decided I want real flowers so it's a splurge and I'm ok with it!

    Wright Travel Agency is owned by the owner/creator of Best Destination Weddings and is a fantastic resource! Check them out at http://www.wrighttravelagency.com/ I'm using TA Babs for my Jamaica wedding-- not sure where you are thinking of cruising to but I'm sure they have someone who can help out! Good luck!

    We included pre-stamped and addressed RSVP cards and we still did not get most of them back. In hindsight I wish we hadn't spent the money on the postage since so few people used it, but if you feel strongly about it I'd say just be willing to eat that cost and not get much out of it. I don't think people will get annoyed by a reminder to send them back-- we did that via email and got a decent response. Most people had just forgotten and were really apologetic. No one seemed mad that we checked in. Good luck!

    Hello Jen and welcome! Congrats on deciding on a destination wedding for just you and your fiance! That sounds so romantic!! I'm not a Couples bride so I can't help you weigh the pros and cons of packages, but if it's just you two I'd venture to guess that the included/free package would be great for what you want. If you want some extras that aren't included that might change things, but if you're looking for something more simple that might be the way to go! As for the dress, have you looked through the wedding dress thread? http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/85/show-us-your-wedding-dress/6660#post_1868587 SO MANY beautiful dresses to look at/get inspiration from. I'd start there, but it also helps to try some on and get an idea of what you think looks best on your body. Good luck!!

    That's beautiful! My close friend did the same colors last year so i had to do something different ;-) your pictures will come out amazing! Excited for you!!!! Thank you!! What are your colors? Thank you!! I am bringing shepherd's hooks down with me to line the aisle and I asked the florist to make 10 pomanders in purple and fuschia to hang from the pomanders. After the ceremony I'll put the pomanders in bowls to use as centerpieces. What are your colors/flowers?

    Thank you!! Will let you guys know how it goes! Quote: Originally Posted by muneera0302 glad you're ok with the st. james side. yours is coming up soon as well. what are your wedding colors? We are doing purple, fuschia, and silver. This is the inspiration board I've been using, and I asked them to duplicate this bouquet: Logo I made that I'm using on our OOT bags, welcome letter, etc: I think we'll need 2 suitcases. I haven't tried packing everything yet-- I just have tons of boxes in my living room. Really hoping we can fit it all in two big suitcases/bins!!

    Haha that definitely makes it more fun! I am always trying to get mine to do yoga with me and he claims he doesn't get a good workout. He must be doing something wrong, cause it is hard for me!

    These are all great tips!!

    Same! I have one for every two people. I'd read before that they are tricky to light and a two-person job.

    SO EXCITING!!! Have the most amazing time and we can't wait to hear about it/see pics!! The WC reached out to me the other day with the wedding checklist so we can start making our selections. Feels more real now! And thanks for your note about the rooms on St. James-- puts me more at ease!

    Secrets does offer cupcakes, but they want to charge $200 extra AND they don't have a cupcake stand so they suggest I bring my own. Why do I have to pay more for less cake and bring my own props?! LOL

    I want to do most of these things just for fun on vacation! Always wanted to go to an ice hotel and on an Alaskan cruise, and now I have to go on an alpine slide or my life won't be complete! Haha.
