Seeven that is a very beautiful picture.

Re: caribbean wedding traditions

it's nice but my guests don't need to see that 1980's plastic runner, so it would have to be covered with an elegant fabric.

Re: caribbean wedding traditions

thought i would re-post this here to remind all upcoming brides to get someone to do this for you -


i was a wedding coordinator for a friend of mine
she thought she didn't need one
i was worn out after her wedding

had to pick mom in law up from the beauty parlor and deliver her to the church - never met her before

the limo driver bought the wrong champagne - he challenged me - i waved the envelope with his money in it - he got the right champagne

the flowers were late - i was on the phone shouting them down

the band played - The Lady is A Tramp - when the couple arrived - had to remind them where they were - also waved their envelope around

the caterers wanted to replace some food items - i reminded them we had contracted for such and such

the photographer wanted to speed the wedding up - lets cut the cake - after about 1 hour into the reception - so she could go to another wedding - again i reminded her of the contract

i had all the bridesmaids pocketbooks hanging off my shoulder in the church

i had pins, needles, tape, scissors . . .

i told the bride if anyone asked her anything - to tell them to talk to me

you could see the vendors frustration when they got cycled back to me

but the wedding turned out the way she planned it

and she didn't have to turn into BRIDEZILLA

If the grass is wet or damp the plastic runner is ideal

i posted the picture to show a way to decorate outside - i thought the petals going up the "aisle" - plastic runner was a nice touch - if it was MY wedding - i would be walking up the green grass aisle - barefoot [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] that's my style . . .

yep - as long as you don't need someone to motivate the wedding planner - it's just business for her - i was the bride's friend and had much more of an interest

also your bridesmaids will need their purses for makeup, cellphones etc so plan for them to be held by someone - would you go anywhere without your purse ?

yes I know that but it is still tacky [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70374-lipsrsealed.gif[/img]

another cloth runner OVER the plastic (which seems to be on top of a cloth runner) is what I would do [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70365-flirt.gif[/img]

Re: caribbean wedding traditions

i think i would be wary of anything on the ground
either slip and slide
or get your heel caught in the fabric

aside from the runner - i love the use of flowers and color on the draped chairs

Re: caribbean wedding traditions

the place should have a walk way up to the gazebo (or wadeva) or nothing at all [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img]

Re: caribbean wedding traditions
