Hello All,

 

My name is Felicia (Nikki) and I live in Ohio. My fiance, Brett and I will be getting married at the lovely (so I have heard) Iberostar Rose Hall Beach Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica on November 11, 2012!!

 

Brett and I have been engaged since 2008 but wanted to take our time planning our wedding so that we can make sure we have it the way we want it. Brett has a beautiful 7 year old daughter that lives with us named Mari. I have been in her life since she was 1 so as you can imagine, I feel like she is my own. You may see her and my niece Chaniyah throughout the thread as well :)

 

I have seen so many great ideas on BDW on how to make our day special and have decided to start a Thread so that I can have all of my ideas and suggestions in one place.

 

Feel free to ask any questions and/or suggest anything you can?

 

Congrats to all of the brides of the past and future!

 

Now to the good stuff... I have another planning thread that I had started when our wedding date was going to be in November of 2011 and our wedding colors were going to be Turquoise and Purple. After pushing our wedding date out a year (for multiple reasons) we decided to change our wedding colors to Fuchsia, Orange and Yellow. It just feels more caribbean! The purple was bringing our decor down in our opinion.

 

I have started a shutterfly account with pics of the planning for friends and family that won't be able to make it to Jamaica to see. I doubt they will be coming to bdw.com if they are not planning a destination wedding :) I will also load the pics here for your thoughts and inspiration.

 

Here is the link:

There is also a blog on there too!

 

On with the pics of ehat we have so far!...First up...Me and My "Boo Thang" A.K.A. Beefcakesmile03.gif...and Mari!

Here is my dress...I always envisioned something flowy so this dress from Alfred Angelo is perfect. Now that I have over a year to the big day I plan on loosing a significant amount of weight so stay tuned for a before an after comparison in the same dress :)

Here is the drawing from the designer that is making my bolero jacket that I am having made for it. However, if I reach my weight goal then I may just have a one shoulder strap of flowers added to it.

Here is a pic of my fiance's suit. The groomsmen will just be wearing matching pants with a white shirt while Beefcake wears the entire suit including the jacket. We got these from JCPenny. It is a Stafford linen look suit. It is really light and perfect for a beach wedding!smile123.gif

Here are Brett's Sexy shoes....we found them at Kohl's for a great price! You know kohl's has the BOMB coupons too!

About 2 weeks before we leave for the wedding, I will be mailing our guests Pre-Travel Brochures, 3-4 luggage tags and a Jamaica Travel Guide that I got free from the Jamaican Tourist Board.

 

I made these Pre-Travel Brochures on vistaprint.com. Here are the proofs

Everything looks great! You have done quite a bit of planning and you still have a ways to your big day. Once everything is all planned and you still have so much time before your big day, what else do you do work on? (I ask because I have done quite a bit of planning also, and aside from just waiting until the big day, i don't know what else to do! Lol) Congratulations and happy planning!!

I will probably focus on how I am going to get all this crap to Jamaica safely. But other than that I am just going to try to relax. When we were still having our wedding this November, I had a lot of sleepless nights filled with anxiety so I am just going to try to chill and wait for the big day to get here.

After searching for just the right dresses for my bridesmaids, I have decided to go with a convertible dress...

 

Here is the stock photo of the dress my girls are going to get and a few of the different ways they can wear it...

 

If you google them you can find they are very inexpensive. I found this one on amazon.com :)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
