Thanks ladies!

Essential0929 - I highly recommend an updo. I'm so glad I wore it up! Our wedding day was a scorcher and I don't think I would have made it through the day with it down.

Thank you! I loved it! We didn't get much wind during our ceremony so it wasn't a problem there. After the sun had set we got a few blasts of wind and it went flying making for AWESOME pictures. We got a look at all our pro pics this evening and we're def. picking one of the ones with the veil in the air for our thank you card.

Keep the drink flags! The pic I posted was just sample pic the seller sent me. They looked so much nicer in the glasses at the cocktail hour.

i love EVERYTHING...can i ask, where did you get the Tshirts that you put in the OOT bags and what did they say??

 

also, the drink flags are ADORABLE..i actually made some last week but my fiance is really 'anti-drink flags' right now...so seeing yours, i thought WOO HOO..someone else had them..so maybe i'll just do them and sneak those bad boys in my purse..and whip them out...lol!!!

 

CONGRATS!!!

Thank you!

I made everything in powerpoint. I just replaced my crashed computer so I'll have to check old emails. I used to sometimes email them to myself. If I find them I'll post them here.

Do you by chance have the template for the signature drink frame? We were wanting to do that as well and I love your sign!

 

Thanks for sharing and congrats!

Thank you!  I don't remember me having a hard time with it so I logged in and took a look. I have a feeling that I rotated the text box using the advanced editing option. Try to see if that works for you.

I have a question for you.... how in the world did you get your print on Vista Print to be slanted?!? I have been trying and trying and it just doesn't let me it only moves at 90 degree angles!!

Thank you! Good luck with your choice!

Thanks! The tanks were DIY as well. I got the iron on's from Jo-Anns. I have some that I bought from Michaels that I didn't use if you want those. I have 4 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honor.

Engagement Pics

I almost forgot these. We did two sessions. One over the summer and one in the winter. Here are just a few from each. Can you tell we love our puppy? LOL

I think that's all I got for now. I'll probably think of a million other things and keep posting. 

Pre-Jamaica Events:

Couples shower / send off party

Our moms hosted a couples shower / send off party so we could celebrate with our friends and family before we leave. This was a great way for everyone to feel like they were a part of our day, even if they weren't making the trip to Jamaica with us. Everyone had a blast!

Here are just a few shots. First one is of us with our moms:

Bachelorette:

My fabulous best friend/maid of honor Stephanie planned the best bachelorette I've ever been to! My best girls took me on an NYC cruise in May and I had the time of my life!

BD Book:

I did a shoot and made Omar a little black book on mixbook.com and had it delivered to him the day of the wedding. He went nuts!

Guestbook:

Also from mixbook.com. I'm so happy with how it turned out. Sorry for the super-small preview. I got it from the site.

TTD:

The day after the wedding we got all dressed up again and did a TTD.

Cake

We had a simple three tiered cake from Noida Cooke and loved it.

We did the cake cutting early and right after partied the night away...

Centerpieces:

Bouquets:

Real touch - All for sale for those interested 

Signature drinks:

We had “Lemona Lisa†and the “Omarhito†featured at our cocktail hour!

 Drink Stirrers

Cocktail napkins:

Cake Server:

Chair Signs:

OOT Bags

We gave our guests tote bags (we ironed on the logo I created in Powerpoint), travel mugs, first aid kits, t-shirts, pashminas, key chains, toys for the kiddies, and welcome letters/itineraries.  ThE

THEY LOVED EVERYTHING. Here is a sample picture of what one looked like and some of my favorite girls helping me get them all ready.

Reception Favors:

Shot glasses:

Cigars / Matchbooks:

Lottery ticket favors:
