Jellyfish Restaurant

[venus909]

I like hearing everyone's ideas....  I don't have a specific vision per se, but I have a theme I would like executed and I can see it in my head but can't describe it.. so the end result should be interesting.  I'm going for a somewhat vintage glam feel but more glam than vintage... think bling (crystals and pearls)...my colors are Fuschia and Mango.  When I told Mayte about it she seemed a bit confused, but I know she can make it work based on the pics I have seen....  I just need to explain it to her in person... I'm bringing a lot of the stuff with me...

 

Cross your fingers that it all unfolds the way I am hoping it will...

 

I'm counting down the next 3 weeks.. I meet with Mayte the 27th at 7pm

 

cnd29 - 2 weeks left right??  Are you ready?

I don't even know what ready is!  This past month has absolutely FLOWN BY!  How about you?  Glad you got your meeting set up!

 

As far as your vision, have you spent any time on google images?  Type in some key words and see what comes up!  That's how I found all of my inspiration pics... or Pinterest?

Everything is amazing!! People are still talking about our weddinf and especially the reception and dinner at the Jellyfish. I would say, if you are going to do it, do it soon. Plus, it's way more affordable than resort receptions...

I too want bling bling, feathers, and etc. I really want glitz and glam on the beach. Please share all the small details so I can have a little insight on what I want to do.

Vintage glam I love it. That's a perfect way to describe exactly what I want. What are you bringing down to give it that look. Oh my gosh girly can you believe we are so close to our dream wedding...

That last post was to Venus909...lol

I think everyone should post an inspiration board, or at least a couple photos, of their theme and decor ideas. I love what everyone has been saying so far but pictures are always much more fun to look at.  

 

Even looking back on past weddings at Jellyfish, it's great to see the different decor. It really changes the feel of a wedding.

Question for past brides - do you think Mayte could purchase a box of cigars for me to give as a gift to my FI?  We aren't doing the cigar roller because I'm pretty sure he would be the only one to partake, or maybe just a couple other guests.  I'd love to get him a box of Dominican cigars as a gift he could bring home.  Do you think she would do that?  Anybody have an idea of how much they cost for a box?

 

Leaving in 12 days, wedding in 17!  holy crap!  Trying to nail down the small details.....

 

Thanks!

I have a lot of pics to share....  It will take me some time to post them all... (I never really figured out a quick way to make a pretty inspiration board)...

 

Here is some of the stuff....

 

I use the term Vintage loosely since I'm definitely a lot more toward Glam... but I feel that my dress had the vintage vibe and I got it from there.

 

A lot of my details can be found on a planning site that I created (mostly to share with the ladies from TK) feel free to check it out:  http://weddinginparadise.weebly.com/

 

 

Sand Bottles for Sand Ceremony - We are going to incorporate our guests in our sand ceremony (I got this idea from another BDW bride).  So decorated little bottles for each couple.  We will fill the bottle with sand from the beach from the Jellyfish (this will be done before the ceremony) and then we will ask each guest to add thier bit of sand to the foundation of our sand ceremony.  they can then fill the bottles up and take the sand home to remember "our beach"

 

 

Raffia Fans - I covered the handles with Fuchsia and Orange ribbon and added an Orchid.  These will be placed for each couple.

 

 

Crystals for the canopy - I want to bring crystals to put in the back of the canopy (this may not happen since we already have a lot of stuff to pack but I'm not giving up hope yet) When I asked Mayte about it she didn't have enough crystals so I would have to bring them. this is the look I'm really want but with all white fabric.

 

OR

 

 

all the girls will carry paper parasols insted of flowers like these in these colors. :

 

My own Cake topper - I made this a few months ago:

 

 

Straw Flags on stripped paper straws for the welcome drink:

 

Banner for the Sweets table:   I made these Banners to hang on or above the sweet table...  It's supposed to Say Love Is Sweet, but I don't have the ribbon for the IS yet... But you get the idea...  IF the table isn't big enough I will probably just have her  display the Love.
 

 

Escort Cards - I'm using Rock Candy for Escort Cards

 

"Blingy" "I DO" and Table #'s - I made glittery letters to spell "I DO" for the sweetheart (really family since it will be FI and I and my three kids) and there are matching #'s for the table numbers

 

 

Our Cake forks - We will be using these when we take our first bite of cake.  these aren't our exact ones since I haven't taken a pic of them, but they look very similar:

 

 

 

there is more.... I'll post more later ... enjoy...
