I have decided to have artificial flowers as the fresh flowers in Miami were very expensive. However i have ordered them & received them a few weeks ago & they are more gorgeous than i imagined plus i can keep them forever.
This is similiar to my bouquet.

I have sent in a photo of me wearing my dress to the flowers website showing me with the flowers.
You can view it here.

Here is our wedding cake. I think it suits our beach theme well. It is buttercream flavoured.
I cant send the direct link to the cake but its the third one at the top, Numbered WB-080.

We have ordered matching wedding rings, after trying on lots of different rings we finally decided and agreed on a matching set. We have eachothers name engraved inside and our wedding date.

Wow that sounds amazing!

I am currently trying to figure out whether to get married abroad or at home. Can I ask for a rough estimate of the cost of your wedding? I have a budget of max £5000. Did you just book the hotel etc on your own or is it part of a package? And are you getting married at the hotel? You must be very excited now..not long

Hey Hun

Sorry for late reply not been on here for a while. Our whole wedding and everything together cost £5500. That includes the holiday, wedding, our outfits, jewellery, shoes, wedding meal...everything basically.

It was amazing planning it all and its all so close now. With Miami u cant book it as a package so i booked my flights and hotel and then contacted people myself for prices for the wedding, ceremony, cake, photographer, hair and make up etc.

its all been pretty easy. Not long now.... if u wanna chat more, im also on wedding chaos, my name on there is also MiamiBride
