Hey guys!

I have officially purchased the first items that will go towards our wedding. Just so you know, Brett and I have gone back and forth over our wedding colors... I mean it was rediculous how many times we (I) changed our (my) mind! And just when we decided on some nice fall colors for a fall wedding in the south. We decided to have the wedding in Jamaica and had to change the colors another 3 or 4 times!

So this may be the reason why I am soooo excited about purchasing our decorations...now we can't change the colors anymore! Lol

So here it is... 20 Purple & 20 Turquoise Chinese Japanese paper lanterns!!

They are 12" in diameter & cost 1.20 each. The 10" ones were 1.09 but I wanted them to be a little larger.

I got them from www.justartifacts.com

The total was & $48 & the shipping was $17.98. Even with the shipping these lanterns ended up being the cheapest I could find and in my colors.

 

Oh yeah, we will also be using white lanterns. I was told by Sylvia at Iberostar rose hall beach that they have white ones available so that saves me from carrying extra stuff.

The lanterns came in a very light 5 pound box. They fit perfectly in the one suitcase I plan on using for only wedding stuff... So far... We will have to see how the one suitcase for wedding stuff works out! Lol

The lanterns are a great idea!  You'll love how they catch the breeze.  I did round paper flowers for my wedding and we loved them so much we left them up for the entire wedding week (we rented a villa, so we were the only ones there).

 

If you need more space when packing, consider taking them out of the box and wrapping them in clothes you're taking.  It will keep them protected, but you won't have to allow for the extra bulk of the box.  If you don't use the box, you might want to bring those in a carry-on. 

 

Congrats on choosing your colors!!
