Help pick my brother's honeymoon location- something in the US & affordable
Melba replied to rodent's topic in Honeymoon Talk
What about the islands off of Seattle? I think there are a couple of them, maybe Whidbey is the most popular? I think you can stay at a cute B&B for around $100/night. They could even drive up to Vancouver or something too? -
Make up advice please??

I use the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. It really does go on light and its not very matte nor very shiny. I'd recommend using a foundation brush. It gives great coverage without feeling cakey or heavy. I also second the Dior Show mascara. I normally don't use the waterproof version but plan on getting that for the wedding. I like it better than Clinque, Estee and Lancome personally. I believe GA also has a hydra-glow foundation with spf. And a fluid sheer foundation, which goes on even lighter. Its more expensive and not too many stores sell it but lasts forever. -

Maybe you should go try on at a regular store before going there so you have an idea of what you're looking for? I live in Tysons. But I already have a dress and my weddings in May. Although part of me wants to go later just to see and see if I can find a dirt cheap 2nd dress for TTD. -
I know that Bre got married at Faisanes, on the other end, but said " For anyone looking for a walkway, we did the red carpet under a double-wide aisle runner and I was able to stand in 3" heels. ". I heard they might have a portable walkway soon too. I'm planning on bringing my heels which are 4 1/4 stilletos but also have 3 1/2 wedge flip flops.

Mustique is also a great island, only one real hotel, the Cotton House, and the rest are villas which a lot of them you can rent. Its down in the St. Vincent & Grenadine islands. A lot of famous people own villas there like Tommy Hilfiger, Bryan Adams, I think Mick Jagger and some fashion designers. We liked it cause its not touristy at all. You drive around the island on rented "mules" or golf carts. We're going to Anguilla for our honeymoon, which is said to have 33 white sand beaches.

I bought the flowers at Michaels in the scrapbook section. I had to buy the brads separately though, so you can go with other colors or accents. I think the bag of 25 was $3? Its the one thing my fiancee picked out! I'll post the ticket jacket tempate tonight too but I just based mine on one from the board.

I am half-way done with assembling my invites, but took pics of the ones that were done. Thanks so much to all the brides that posted their templates and information, I couldn't of done with out you. I used colored staples to hold down the flap in the ticket jacket. And clear jeweled brads with flowers to attach all the sheets of the boarding passes. Some of my tips for assembling: -I used a three sided ruler to fold the crease in the ticket jackets, pressing down the sheet on the tip of the ruler -When using the corner cutter, to save my thumb, I put down a magazine on my kitchen table and pressed the corners using my palm instead. -I used those curved cuticle scissors to cut the quarter circle on the perforated piece, it almost perfectly fits that angle

Shea's TTD Pics
Melba replied to SheaS's topic in Post your Destination Wedding & Engagement Pictures!
Great pics! Thanks for sharing! You two look fabulous too! -
Ok, I finished my first bag and then switched to an easy flower where I am just outlining it. Now I can do one bag every two nights of watching tv. Maybe after the writer's strike is over I can do one bag per night. Here is the first one that took forever: Then the new design: Closeup: Oh and as you can see the outline of the iron transfer, you really don't have to use the iron too long otherwise the backing turns kinda brown on the bag. My newer ones turned out much better.

I don't have any advice either but wanted to chime in since I'm another May EDR bride. Right now I have a similar schedule with 5 pm at Gazebo 55, which I chose since its at the end of the resort and I believe semi- out of the way. But on the same side as Tucanes/Fuentes area versus the casitas section. I was also gonna send ppl to a bar, maybe the Martini one before our dinner at 6:30 too. I wanted the BBQ deluxe but I don't think I'm going to have 30 ppl.

Some of Shea's pics.....EDR
Melba replied to SheaS's topic in Post your Destination Wedding & Engagement Pictures!
Thanks for sharing! You looked beautiful and your dress is awesome, I love the back of it! The parasol pics are so cute too. Did you get a package for Gazebo 55 to be decorated? Did you make it down that aisle runner over the sand in heels? -
