Hi! Thanks for your post! Your pictures looked great! I have a question....did you have your hair and makeup done by Beaches? I'm going to have it done by them and wanted to know your experience if you used their services.

Thanks!

Yes, I used the Red Lane Spa for all my stuff. Pedi, Mani, Hair and make up. I paid for the bridal package and when we got down to Jamaica, Jay even got a mani and pedi too .. odd but he thought that it would prob be the only time he would ever have it done. The Hair trial and makeup session is the day before along with the mani and pedi... I will admit this took 6HRS!!! After my mani and pedi I swear my lady was exhuasted and took forever in my trial. I was bummed because we had plans for an offsite dinner that night, we ended up being late for our own party. One thing I would suggest is that maybe schedule the mani and pedi at a different time (1st thing AM) and then your hair trial (afternoon), this way it breaks up the time. I loved what they did and how wonderful the expierence was .. but the time thing really got to me. Espec when my BM had the same done and she was done more than an hr before me.

 

Keep asking!

Thanks for the info. I was actually going to get my nails and pedicure done at home before leaving for Negril. I already prepaid for the makeup and hair. I didn't pay for the trial though.....they didn't require you do a trial, did they?

No they don't require, but I wanted to make sure I was happy with the outcome beforehand. Then everything changed with the hurricane anyway.. so different hair on the day of the wedding anyway. Jay's grandma bought the package for me(she couldn't come to Jamaica), and told me about it at my shower. Prob a better idea.

 

Sooo what are you thinking of Amber?? LOL.. she will be interesting that is for sure!

Well....to tell you the truth, I only had one live conversation with her. Most of our correspondence has been e-mail. Since it will only be myself, Vincent, and my 2 soon-to-be stepsons, there really hasn't been a lot to plan. So, hopefully there won't be any snags...lol

Oh then you won't have to worry about anything then. Nikki and Andrea (onsite WC's) are AMAZING!! They will help you out with everything you will need if anything at all. Avia... oh my ... she is the wedding captian and will be there for everything about your day, your day after breakfast in room.. you name it.. we loved her to death, well our whole family loved her. One thing to recomend a million times over... private dinner on the beach about 630ish for June, the purple skies are wonderful along with the dinner atmosphere.
