My Caribbean Wedding... and bringing the theme back to North Yorkshire!

Oooh all those dresses are pretty! I really like the third one, but am scared to say it because Dinah thinks it looks like nightware :rotfl: But i would defo ask the bridesmaid which ones they prefer (you cant really lose, because they are all lovely!).

My mum booked her holiday today, shes staying in one of the Riu's in Cape Verdi (lucky thing!).
How did the talk go with your dad, regarding his crocs :eek::rotfl:

LOL, my Mum intercepted that one and is giving him 'walking in flip flops' lessons! I'm not holding out much hope for them being sucessful, but I suppose crocs look better than velcro sandals and socks!

I think Babydoll dresses are cute too Lulu!

Morning, I liked the third one too, but I do think they all look a little short as someone else mentioned. Would you be happy ordering them and getting your mum to pick them up without ever having seen them in real life? I'd be a bit nervous I think!

My Mum has good taste and would scrutinise them before accepting them. She has been known to make salesgirls try things on for her before to make sure that they look right (when she's buying for me, not her because that would be even weirder!). :rotfl:

The shortness really isn't bothering me that much, they're not inappropriately short and my BMs are young slim girls who suit shorter dresses, I don't want to put them in something frumpy and long- that isn't them! I'm not saying that they dress like 'Scarlet Women', I probably wear shorter dresses than they do and I'm a good girl! If the wedding was in a Church I'd obviously go for more coverage but we could all be wearing swimwear for my wedding and no-one would bat an eyelid!

Sounds fun, I love the luggage tag save the dates and the passport invites! My fiance is Latin-American so we're having a latin fiesta reception and at some point in the next couple of years nwill be going over to Panama to have a big party with all of his side of the family. We are hiring palm trees for the venue (the company is based in the north west, I don't know if that's too far away from you?) and his parents are bringing over some Panamanian rum to put behind the bar.

Add in ceviche and salsa, it should be a good night!

I have just found a 4m/13 ft parrot paper streamer, from the Pier, and a 4m/13ft coconut paper streamer, from the Pier also, in my cupboard.

I cant for the life of me think I will ever need them, so would you like them to add to your decs? If you PM me your address I can pop them in the post for you!

Birdie85

Oooh thank you very much! That's very generous of you! PM on the way! :j

Raspabarbas, how much are the palm trees to hire if you don't mind saying?

lulu984

Aww thats so sweet, very generous of you!

I wish i lived nearer, i could lend you a whole bunch of funky cocktail, shot and yard glasses...im defo not generous (or in a financial position) enough to post them to you :rotfl:

Its quiet here today. Are you having novelties for the guests, like visors or straw hats? Or have i lowered the tone again?
