I will definitely post photos. Lisa said she'll send some progress photos of the dress after lace and beading are finished.

that's funny, I thought about the same thing. My dress is actually off-white so I may go with ivory for my flower girl. I think in your case, I would probably do the ivory flower girl dress to match your dress but I noticed that ivory can look more like off-white depending on the material of the dress. .

that is a pretty dress! Congrats on finding "the one"

that's a popular and lovely combo for destination weddings. I like that. I didn't know how much I actually liked orange until I started planning my wedding lol

how pretty and flowing! I also LOVE your bouquet!!

Sorry your FI is going through this. All I have to say about that is, I think your FI needs to re-assess some of these relationships, especially the Best Man. That's not right for him to ask for concessions and he should be ashamed of himself for even asking, especially when he makes a good living. Honestly, I am so glad we chose not to have a bridal party. I just have my MOH and he has one BM and they are married to each other and we have a flower girl. I went to the wedding of my FBIL and he had issues with his groomsmen because they all flaked because they didn't like his bride. My FI was of course there for him, but he needed three other guys. None of his "best friends from back in the day" even showed up to the wedding. The guys who were in the wedding were guys he met in the military and they didn't know his bride. Do you think these guys are giving him a hard time because they have a problem with you?

I want to end my reception at 1030 lol

what are your colors going to be?

usually prices for international flights drop actually. The 'sweet spot' usually is anywhere from 5 months to 3 months out to book flights internationally.

1900 is like a yearly salary for Cubans. That is way too much

I don't have a theme really, just basically trying to capture the Caribbean. Our colors are persian plum, tangerine, coral. I have some of my color scheme posted on another thread asking about colors.http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/81943/what-do-you-think-of-these-colours/10#post_1819679

might as well get as many wears out of your dress as possible

Those are really nice!

no language barrier as this is a British territory, they do use a lot of British slang though lol My wedding planner is at the hotel (it's not a resort). I think I am going to pick her brain about what other brides have done as to decor.

That doesn't sound right. I suggest you correspond and/or do a search for what other brides from your resort have done. Either your TA isn't telling you something or there might be a mis-communication. Either way, this is sketchy and you need to investigate on your own some more.

Thanks, ladies. I think the idea is basically if you know what you want and how you want it, you have to be very hands on. My wedding planner had issues telling between orange and yellow roses so I know I am going to have to be on top of things with my decor. Just wasn't sure how or when I should blast her with my ideas lol

No idea. I guess I am supposed to be getting another mid production photo when they apply the lace/beading. Not sure when though

The only consultants now are James and Lisa, the husband and wife team behind Jasmine's. I've been working with Lisa and she's been great. I think either or is fine, though.

I am striving for 150 too! Just added a flower girl to my wedding party which was only supposed to be my Matron of Honor and a Best Man but I thought it would be cute to have a flower girl too which is my FI's cousin's 3 year old daughter. I looked at flower girl dresses and man they are expensive! However, I did find a site with reasonably priced ones and came up with this one with a coral sash only about $40!:

agreed. Check a lot of bags as it will be cheaper and less headache. Just enlist family members/friends to help out!

Question ladies. How did you or do you relay your "vision" for the decor of your reception and ceremony spaces to your wedding coordinators? Did they give you decor ideas to chose from or did you kind of piece together things from concepts you have on your own? I went to my future brother-in-law's wedding this past weekend and was impressed with their reception decor and I want to make sure we don't forget about the decor details for our wedding. For example, table cloth, centerpieces, chair covers/sashes, etc.

I have no idea what a blusher is, but this is pretty. I'm foregoing a veil but I think they look nice with strapless gowns. Your dress looks awesome BTW

Here's the beading they will be using for my dress. They will also be using the same type of lace. I'm excited to see the work after the beading is done!
