Carly, how are you at making your own flowers? What do you want in them... And how many people do you want at the wedding? Food? What are you planning?
When I thought about a beach wedding (my father`s ashes are in the Gulf) We were going to have only the close family there, and tone down a lot of things so that my daddy could be involved... If only in the waves...

Also, Carly, when are you planning your wedding? Sandals has discounts all the time... Air could be as low as $104 (plus taxes) per person per direction. If you don`t need to stay on the island the entire week, you will have lower rates. Then again, if you stay on the island, you can stay for as little as $69 a night (depending on season..

Please remember, just like any resort location, everything depends on WHEN you are planning on going. I actually have a coupon for Sandals in my email if you want it.
Again, the important thoughts here are WHEN and WHAT are you demanding to have in the wedding? I just bought my dress for $200, 1 day after the style came out... I am an extremely frugal shopper (8 children), I have 11 in my party, and I am working with under 6000 budget. If there is a way, I will find it! :)
