Really?? I have super straight hair and plan to have it curled so it's great to hear your curls lasted. Yay! lol- sneaky ninja mosquitos. I was hoping people were exaggerating about the mosquitos - too bad. But it'll be good to be prepared, so thanks for the warning. I think now I'll put bug spray in everyone's OOT bags and maybe bring some after bite or tea tree oil. -
Have a safe trip and an awesome time. I know your wedding will turn out amazing! Enjoy every minute of your vacation!!

Also, consider signing up for some of the online deal websites: HauteLook, Beyond the Rack, Ideeli, Rue La La, Joss & Main, Touch of Modern, Uncovet, etc. You'd be amazed what you can find on there and for such a good price. I'm signed up for all of these solely for the wedding. It floods my inbox but when I have time I search through them to look for possible gifts for people, decor items, shoes, accessories, clothing for the FI and even just dresses to wear while we're there.

I've thought this over for a while. I bought beautiful heels before I even purchased my dress. I planned to go barefoot on the beach for the ceremony and then wear heels. My seamstress (my Aunt) informed me I had to pick one or the other, as she has to hem the dress, so I'm choosing barefoot/flats. I realized no one will see my shoes anyways and why do I have to wear heels for the reception and be in pain all night? They make your legs look killer but when you're wearing a long dress, what's the point? So I'm going to find sparkly sandals or some with clear jewels on them and then either go barefoot for the ceremony or get barefoot sandals. There's a pair that I'm lusting over made by a poster on this site.http://www.redibychelsea.com/bond-girl-rhinestone-pearl-destination-wedding-handcrafted-barefoot-jewelry/ I love them but I'm not sure if I can fork over that much money for them. We'll see. Have you looked at Nordstrom online or shopbop or zappos?

KayLynn thanks for posting pictures! (and never apologize for too many pictures, are you kidding me? We love it!) You looked incredible! I can't wait to see your pro ones, Juan Navarro is such a great photographer. Sorry to hear your OOT bags never made it, what a bummer. But it looks like your wedding was amazing. I love the photo of your first kiss, you both look adorable and so happy. Beautiful hair and makeup as well, it's nice to see they do such a wonderful job.

Wow, look at you. Love the dress, love the hair, love the makeup. You look amazing! I love the photo of you guys kissing at the end of the aisle with your guests in the background. We're also getting married at the beach gazebo and having our reception in the Foyer so it's so nice to see photos of it all. Your wedding looked beautiful.
-
I'm so happy to hear your wedding went so well! Enjoy your time there and really relax. I'm excited to hear all about it when you're back!
-
Good job girl! Do you have photos? I love crossing things off my list. I've had some family tragedy so have been out of any wedding stuff but I'm getting back into it for distraction. For my girls I've sent them money for part of their dress (since I told them to pick any blue dress so they will actually wear it afterwards) and I'm taking them to the spa the day before for massages, mani/pedis or a facial. Their choice. We're doing the spa day the same day the guys are going to go deep sea fishing as their thank you gift. I may still get the girls a pretty robe for the day of but maybe not, haven't decided yet. They seem happy with what we're giving. I think I'm going to leave jewellry up to them if they want to wear it or not.

You are such a doll for writing a review. Thanks so much! I haven't worked with Mayla but it's good to hear she has treated you so wonderfully. I can't help but be pleased to hear the Foyer is not only beautiful but has a breeze because that's where our reception will be. It's kind of odd that they keep having the same issues with not handing out cake to guests. How strange. More than anything I'm always so happy to hear that people's guests have such a great time at ERC. If we have people flying from all over to join us somewhere that we picked out, we really want it to be perfect for them. I can't wait to see pics! I bet you looked gorgeous!
-
Mandy! It feels like just yesterday we were discussing centerpieces and now you're leaving in less than two weeks!? That is so crazy! I hope it goes perfectly for you. You are so super prepared, so you have nothing to do now but enjoy your vacation Trisha! Your wedding is tomorrow?!! I hope you have the absolute best day and best time!
-
Rhiham - thank you SO much for your detailed review. Your wedding looked wonderful and you managed to answer so so many of the questions I'd been thinking about. I'm glad you mentioned something about the food during your cocktail hour and reception because I feel like not too many people have talked about that. Good to hear it was delicious! I was about to ask you "Where did the beautiful woman at your cocktail hour get her divine purple dress?"...and then I realized it was you! You looked gorgeous! Thanks again.
-
I can't believe you girls are so close to leaving. You must be so excited! I hope it all goes wonderfully for you both.
-
This is a really good question. I'm going to go into my bank and ask them about it. I plan to use my credit card as well (hello lots of points!), so hopefully they can set up something that will reduce my fees. Have you asked your bank about it?
-
We have 20 booked and don't expect more to book. We have a few couples who really want to come but because of work, finances, etc it likely won't work out so we're not counting on it. We're super happy with the numbers though. We only gave people the option to book with the travel agent. It's just easier and I doubt they could find a better deal. I think our RSVP date is in July sometime but really I think of it as when people pay in full to the TA which is Sept 1st.

I've just used theknot as well. I was already signed up there and since we don't have many people coming I'm not sure many people will actually use the website. I imagine most people will just email us with questions.
-
Yay! How awesome! That's how we felt as well. Once our parents and siblings/their partners had booked we were so relieved. Anyone else after that was a bonus
-
Ha! I was just thinking that yesterday. You know what? That last month did go by fast, so maybe people are right and it'll whiz by! I'm still at the same point I was a month ago, except I picked up my dress last week (yay!). Next on the list I think will be the music I keep procrastinating on. Also: ceremony script vows order small vases and votives for the reception order our wedding rings order gifts for our parents get dress altered purchase jewelry and sparkly sandals order FI's suit maybe add something to our sad wedding website? order boutonnieres order welcome bags so I can paint them Most of the 'order' items I already know which ones I want but I'm waiting to see if something better pops up. Anyone else? How about you Dina?

What I would and wouldn't do again...
TealMarie replied to gkashmira's topic in General Wedding Planning Information
Thanks for that tip. I keep seeing past brides say something similar and it's now getting through my head, so I'm not going to worry about too much decor, especially for the ceremony. Now...PLEASE tell us more about the man in the speedo crying?? (When you're back home and settled of course) -
Your friend has an Etsy shop? Cool! Thanks for the link!
-
Oooooh nice! Where did you get the tumblers and the stickers? I love it!
-
Congrats Rhiham! You look DIVINE and so happy! Enjoy your honeymoon
-
We sent out save the date emails in January and then invitations in March or April. I can't remember. We already had a pretty good idea of who was coming or not after the emails. We just wanted everyone to have as much time to plan it out as they could.
-
Thanks ladies! I really love it so much. When I first put the dress on I loved it but when my consultant said, "Wait until you see the second dress," I started looking around in confusion. I had no idea it came apart, so that sold me for sure.
-
This is the beautiful lace back. Without the lace overlay. I'll wear this with a similar crystal belt (but without the veil) for the reception. And the low back, which I love! I'm thinking I'll wear earrings and a bracelet with the lace for the ceremony but no necklace because of the beautiful neckline. When I change for the reception I'll put on a pretty necklace and maybe keep the bracelet and just be super sparkly! More cocktail hour-ish.
