Past Breeze Brides

dst8 · September 29, 2012

We are getting married on the Carnival Breeze 1-4-14 and I was hoping that some of you past brides would be so wonderful and post how your wedding went, any tips or overall comments.

We are experienced cruisers, which is why we decided to get married on a ship, we have already had a few issues with Carnival and want to know what to expect - my confidence in Carnival is a little broken

Thanks

Hi, I'm getting married on the Breeze in June! Have you picked a location yet for the ceremony? What type of invites are you doing?

Hi - We have not picked out our invites yet - I like the site Etsy.com - they have some neat ideas......

We did purchase the open bar and purchased the DJ

What planning have you done - we are sailing on the Dream in January and the ships are similar so that will be good for us to get a feel for the ship. We also have friends that are leaving on Saturday to head to the Mediterranean and sail on the Breeze - they will be taking pics of the ship for us - I'll be more than happy to share with you.

I am a bit clueless as to what to do for the wedding and have not even looked for a dress

Hi thanks for sharing. I would love to see pictures when your friends get back! We too, are doing the package with DJ and open bar! I have only started the planning process. We will have about 12 sailing guests and 25 non sailing guests. I'm trying to decide how much extras I want to bring. I do think we are getting different different flowers. I've started talking to a florist from my home town. We will probably do OOT bags for sailing guests. I'm up in the air about favors. I was thinking kookies or maybe luggage tags or wine openers. Not sure though. As for the cake the coordinator said we could bring ribbon and a topper so I'm planning to do so. We will probably just do the very basic picture package as I have an aunt coming who photography talented. I really like the Maggie Sottero Isadora Ann dress but am considering ordering a knock off. Happy Planning! Ginger

They sail this morning so I will be happy to share photos - they promised to take pictures of the casino in which we were told if you order the DJ that is were the reception would be

We are torn about doing OOT bags, most of the folks cruising with us are experienced cruisers so not sure what we would put in the bags that would be useful for them. we are thinking of ordering personalized napkins to kick it up a bit and for favors we are doing wine openers; we love wine so its perfect. Then trying to figure out a favor that would be kid friendly (we have some kids sailing).

Are you doing a guest sign in book or anything like that? What are you thoughts for gifts that your guests will bring, we are putting on our invitations"no gifts please, bring words of wisdom" we really don't need anything.

We were told the same thing about the wedding cake - we'll just bring some ribbon to add to match to our colors.
