Hi!!

I'm a June bride and I will be at ROR June 7-14.. my wedding day is the 11 and our honeymoon is from the 14-21 at couples swept away so we will be in Jamaica June 7-21.

Hey Girls!! Here are my shoes... I LOVE THEM and can't wait to wear them

These shoes are great! I think I'm going to Davids to try on shoes tomorrow. I LOVE them in the Watermelon color, thanks for posting!

Hey Petals...that IS pretty! I like it! I agree with Monique though, a few more/fluffier curls? The profile of it is perfect and very elegant. I just think bigger curls would make it pop more. You look great...we have such pretty sisters here on BDW!

Hey Ladies,

So... I decided to have a hair trial today.... Lemme know what you think!

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.

I spoke and emailed with Stacey alot before the wedding... We were going to use her for our TTD while on our HM because we had to use resort only for the wedding. But we got burnt so bad the day before in the sun we had to cancel as we both would have been florecent pink lobsters in white. Stacey is AMAZING!!! 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..

We have similar colors and flowers! you have good taste

Are you all doing real flowers for bouquets/boutonnieres or fake? I have arguments for both sides. 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?

I really only have soooo much cause we aren't doing anything w/ a resort so if I want decor, i have to bring it!

I really like them - I'm going to have to look into Hibiscus Florals

Thanks for sharing! I am thinking about going with them too!

I know I'm a bit late, but Monique I love the style on you!! So FAB

super beautiful!!!

I know, right!! I'm actually going to be bringing quite abit back. and I have all of that in 2 totes! except for our clothes. I try to tell myself most of that is for OOT bags

oh my gosh i went through all of my stuff the other night getting rid of extra stuff. I have alot going w/ me! Fortunately all of us booked our flights far enough in advance that we are still allowed 2 free checked bags. Joes parents are only taking carry ons so we are just distributing amongst our family. 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.

Ok Oh my gosh please tell me someone is bringing as much crap as me!

divadivine25 Your decorations are beautiful. Very creative. You go girl! Maybe I need to go to Dollar Tree. LOL Congradulations!

You sound so organized! How are you going to get everything down there? Also, what are you doing for the flowers? I am stressing out about the flowers because they are so expensive!
