Yes i think your right. I might go for bigger earrings and a braclet and leave the necklace....Today i'm going off the idea of a flower in my hair. As i'm having 'big' hair up and my dress has a big flower on it, it might be a bit to much. I might buy one and try as i'm doing with the jewellery. Last night i watched a wedding programme and the bride had similar hair styling to what i want and she had a nice diamonte head piece on which looked lovely so i will have to see if i can find something like that and try too ).... I went shopping yesterday but FI was with me the whole time (couldn't shake him off) so couldn't really look as i dont want him having any idea what i'm going to look like.

( Nicyx it's my turn to have a panic today, lol )

You will just have to get your FI to have a handbag so you can put all your other bits in his bag. LOL.

Haha, good idea josietoms.... think thats what i'll have to do.... No-way could i put it in the hold.... id be so so nervous, i believe you can get travel boxex, i may have to look into that!! :-)

Thanks for the link bonnie, some great stuff on there x

CeeCee, glad you like the flower, Im made up that people like it :-) I was thinking the same with the sunshine x

Arrr, Michelle.... horrible when when you have a panic moment isnt it!!!! Did you hear back from WC at your resort? about holding the date slightly longer? totally love RaychelRae's idea about the jewellery... one main piece :-)
My main piece will be my backdrop neckless but i will wear tiny studs in my ears though to try to keep it simple :-) Do you have any pic ideas of how you want your hair? x

I am looking closely at Dreams Riviera Cancun and Azul Sensatori...crossing my fingers that I can make a decision by the time my trip is over!

[Nicyx]

Yeh i'm now thinking a diamonte/crystal clip/hair piece and earrings and braclet.....


This is one pic of how i'd like my hair



rach2011 - Welcome! Both your resorts look lovely. Can't wait to see which one you decide. I think a few of the girls on here are going with Dreams Riviera Cancun. It was one of our top resorts too )

Michelle that hairstyle is GORGEOUS!!! Absolutely stunning.

 

I'm spoiled rotten, in that my best friend and bridesmaid owns a hair salon. She'll be doing my hair and make-up. I've told her I just want loose, messy curls swept back behind my ear on one side, with a big flower pinned right behind my ear. Something like this:

 

 

Except I want looser curls, for a "messier" look, if that makes any sense

Snap! One of my BM is a hairdresser which is so cool. She is really keen to try out some things with my hair so i have just said i want it down or half up half down and possibly some loose curls. Her mind is in overdrive we are going to have a few trial sessions before we go - but at least thats one thing i dont have to consume the rest of my time searching the net for. My BIL ex who we are still friends with is a make up artist so am going to get taught bridal make up a few months before as well!! FI dad is a photographer as well who is coming. Thats 3 things i dont need to spend hours worrying about.

oooohhhhh i like this michelle - a def thumbs up

[Lindobride14]

Michelle -- very elegant hairstyle! I think that will look great on you, just judging by your profile pic

 

Cjb0arder, I love the big flower behind the ear. You are so lucky that your BM is doing your hair! I have a friend coming to our wedding that does hair, but she has told me numerous times in the past that she HATES doing brides' hair, so I don't want to ask her LOL. Maybe I will ask her in jest, just to more or less feel her out.

 

I was thinking of a half-up look with loose curls. Something like this:

 

 

I'm wearing a veil, but I think I want some small flowers on the side too. Is anyone doing flower(s) in their hair and a veil? Too much?

[Nicyx]

cjb0rder13 and Lindobride14, They are the pix saved in my photobucket too.... Great minds think alike, I did have loads of pix but have narrowed it down to those to but leaning more towards cjb0rder13's pic as i intend to have a flower like that :-)

 

Michelle, that style is gorgeous, i just dont have thick enough or long enough hair for something like that, its beautiful :-)

 

Im not doing a veil aswell but if you go for something like the pic you've posted i dont think its too muh as the flowers are small if the flowers were big i dont think it would look right but definatly if its like the pic then fine :-)
