Felicia's 11.12.11 Montego Bay, Jamaica Wedding Planning Thread!! (old thread, old wedding colors and date)

meeshamillz · June 3, 2011

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

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 rediculus 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.

They look great...are you also on the Iberostar thread? I am getting married at the Suites. I know a couple of the brides have pictures up of the lanterns in their reviews. They will look great.

Our wedding party is very small. One brides maid, she will wear purple and our Jr bridesmaid/flower girl (same person) is wearing turquoise. My hubby to be is wearing a tan colored linen suit with a white shirt and the best man is wearing the same pants and a white shirt. Just no jacket. Here is a pic followed by the link. http://www.islandimporter.com/product.php?productid=39&cat=24&page=1

Here is my Turquoise, Purple & White flower girl basket and ring bearer pillow! I had them custom made from a lady on www.etsy.com . Her store name is Crafting4u and she was awesome! She asked for details about our wedding color and when I told her the colors we were using were Regency (purple) & Malibu (turquoise) from David's Bridal, she gladly went the extra mile and went to a David's Bridal near her house so she could make sure the fabrics matched perfectly. She is also making us a jumping broom to match. I will also post that as soon as I get the pic.
