Mrs*J*2011's (Lea) planning thread ~~ lots of pics!

[mrs*j*2011]

Well it’s finally time for my planning thread!  We leave on Friday morning and I am so excited!  Thank you so much to Tammy and all the mods for creating and making this forum such a fantastic resource.  I’ve learned so much and had so much fun watching other brides weddings take shape.

 

We’re getting married on Sunday Jan 2 at Sandals Royal Caribbean.  The following day we are transferring to Couples Negril for our honeymoon.

 

Since there will only be 8 people traveling with us, we didn’t do invitation, STD’s or anything like that.  We just called everyone and said “this is what we’re doing; call the TA to book your travel!â€

 

Rings

Mine is from Kay Jewelers and we ordered his from Titanium Kay.  T Kay was great to work with.  We originally ordered a ring and FI didn’t like it.  No hassles returning (no restocking fee) and very quick (free) shipping from CA to NY.

 

 

 

Flowers

I ordered from wedideas.com.  They were great to work with. 

I gave them a picture of the style I wanted, specified the type and color flowers and they did an awesome job.

 

My bouquet

 

MOH bouquet (this is the picture before they shipped, the bouquet is with my sister so I wasn’t able to get a picture once it was finished.)

 

Bouts for the men (white orchids for the dads, single calla for the best man and calla and orchid for FI)

 

Wrist corsages for the moms

 

more to come...

Dress

My dress is Mori Lee (#4511).  I didn’t have the “OMG THIS IS THE DRESS†moment but I love it all the same. 

 

Shoes

Aldo, ordered from Amazon

 

My sister got her dress from JC Penney.

This is the actual color of the dress

But this picture shows the style a little better…

 

FI is wearing khakis and a white dress shirt and his best man is wearing khakis and a light purple dress shirt…sorry no pics!

 

Hair Trial

I’m taking these pictures with me in hopes they can recreate the style.

 

 

Wedding day jewelry

Earings from my grandma (my borrowed item) and necklace purchased from etsy.com.  It’s hard to tell but the necklace is Japanese pearls and Swarovski crystals.

 

still more to come...

Goodies for the ladies

I was going to do OOT bags but half of our guests are leaving the day after the wedding so it seemed like it might have ended up being a waste of money.  But I couldn’t resist getting a few things.

 

Pashminas – ivory for the moms and orange for everyone else.

 

Jamaica Pandora-style beads for the ladies who have bracelets/necklaces.

 

Starfish necklace for my BFF (thanks-for-coming-all-the-way-to-Jamaica-for-my-wedding gift)

 

Wedding day shirts for my sister and I

 

My shirt for travel day! (from CustomizedGirl.com)

 

I think that's everything!  Now...back to packing
