I just think bigger curls would make it pop more. You look great...we have such pretty sisters here on BDW! Thats what I was trying to say, fluffier, lol! Petals, are you opposed to a few pieces to add some more curls? And are you wearing a hair flower?

I brought these as my inspiration pics: And this is how it came out: (pardon the towel hanging down... lol) I went to the local beauty school to have it done so it only cost $15-- I figured it was worth it to see what the style would look like on me... :-) Hoping the "real deal" will be a little better. Awww!!! How cute!!!! I think I would add more curls to it though.

We HM at Couples Swept Away and from what we heard and saw, she does most of the photography on a local outside vendor standpoint. We saw her do 3 weddings during our stay ... I LUVED every photo she showed us. At the newlywed brunch we had at the resort... the girls could not stop talking about her. I wish we ended up doing the TTD now.. Thanks for that information!

Fake flowers could be cheaper, you can get exactly what you want BUT you have to make room in your suitcase, hope they don't get smooshed and warped on the trip down there. Real flowers are more money but you don't have to worry about traveling with them. However, what are the BM to do with them once its over? It's not like they can take them home - they'll end up MAYBE keeping them in their room for the duration of their stay then chucking them when they leave. What are you guys doing and why? So I guess it really depends on the person. I went with realtouch florals because I wanted to have an idea of what my flowers would look like and honestly, flowers can be the biggest waste of money at any event....they just die. This way we can either sell the flowers or keep them, either way, its an investment that I can see, touch and feel for years to come! Heres my bouquet from Hibiscous Florals:

Get it girl! Those flowers are hawt!

I love those colors! They are beautiful!

Have you considered maybe just bringing down a small cake with you instead? Im not sure how I feel about shipping the cake only because of customs requirements, costs, etc. It may just be cheaper to do it that way, and then have the resort keep it in the kitchen.

I dont think we'll have much issue since we have 4 bags we can give to joes parents. I also ordered flowers (from fresh real natural touch artificial silk wedding bouquet flowers). Most of my other stuff is going to be packed in bags I can fold down to bring home easier, except for our flowers, I'm going to pack them in a hard shell bag.

Are yall planning to come back? lol! I have a lot of stuff, but not that much...I hope! Quote: Originally Posted by Negril Bride2Be divadivine25 Your decorations are beautiful. Very creative.

I received my flowers in the mail a few days ago and I have to say that they are nothing short of amazing! Jackie and Mark at Hibiscus were wonderful to work with, and turned my emails and ideas into these beautiful flowers! I cant wait to carry them in my wedding next month!!! I give them an A+! And here are some pics I took myself :.) Bridesmaid Bouquet Bride Bouquet

I am stressing out about the flowers because they are so expensive! Hey Heather! Not sure if you were addressing me but I plan to distribute as much as possible to my other family members to cut back on the amount of luggage we have to take with us. For flowers, I went with Hibiscus Florals and I am very pleased with my order :.)
