I was married yesterday!

Hi All Jamaica Brides,

 

So my wedding at RIU OR didn't pan out, but I did tie the knot here at home yesterday.

 

I took a lot of the ideas and bits of advice from the forum so I thought I would share pics of my wedding stuff, as soon as I can figure out how to attach images to a post. Its been a while since I posted so it may take me a few minutes to figure it out.

Congrat! We are in a similar situation in that we were going to do a DW but now are getting married at home. I just wrote you a msg in the shout box, let me know if you need more help. Can't wait to see photos!

The dress - I didn't have time to order a dress, so I had one made. I think it turned out pretty well.

ok that worked, phew.

Congratulations on getting married and becoming a MRS. I can't wait to see the pics and hear about your day.

The shoes are from David's Bridal. They are called Chloe (new line - not on the internet when I bought them 2 weeks ago)

 

 

The Jewellery - I got it at Macy's

The purse - I got it at a vintage store where I live called "The Cat's Meow"

CONGRATULATIONS it doesnt matter where you did it all that matters is that you did it.

The Menus - I made them. I am not crafty at all, but I have my moments.

 

The Drink Menus - we had the reception at a beer focused restaurant so the drinks menu was essential.

The favour bags - I made shortbread cookies (10 dozen) with Toblerone in the middle as the favours (my husband is Scottish).

I made the table decorations out of dogwood branches that I glued fake snow/sparkles to (giant sparkle mess). Stuck the branches in floral foam (the green stuff) and then poured fake snow over it to hide the green. I think they turned out quite nicely.

 

I put "wish" tags on the trees instead of having a guest book. I took this idea from some of the guest book I have seen on the forum. Couldn't get the book together in time but I will put the tags in my scrapbook, one day.

 

I took this directly from someone else's idea page.
