Joanne/Something Set Apart

Thanks for the info Niquey!

What's the site so I can check it out?

My girl will reach "QUEEN" in "10".........:-)

This person must've been here for one day only. I don't know who y'all are talking about. Anyway, that was nice of you Niquey. You have to have 1000 to meet queen status? I will never get there. lol

I haven't heard from her since Rosey posted to set the record straight.Is she planning on posting on Vibride again?

SeptBride, that makes two of us, that won't ever make it there.

A journey begins with one single step......you will look back at this very post and laugh in couple weeks.

Thanks Phenomonique for posting that. My wedding is over so I am back to normal. Once I recieve the professional photos, I will be sure to share. My colors were copper, bronze, gold, and ivory. All guest were awakened to a personal phone call on behalf of myself and my husband at 10am letting all our guests know how happy were to be sharing this day with them. We wanted a very unique favor so we worked with a company to create our own signature fragrance (Covenant for Men and Women)that was attached to each guests escort card. Inside the escort card was another personal message from both of us along with their table number. It was held at the Botanical Gardens on St. Croix, USVI. My only complaint was that it is too hot to have a wedding in the caribbean...I guess by body isn't used to it anymore (I'm from there). I didn't even want my husband to lift up my veil when it was time to kiss the bride because I knew I looked like Whitney Houston under there. LOL. We honeymooned on a Southern Caribbean Cruise which was soo much fun. Again, I will keep everyone posted.

FYI, if you are from St. Croix and are considering Botanical Gardens as your reception location, please note that you cannot decorate after business hours (9a-5p) which is a big inconvenience. Other than that, the location is beautiful.

The ceremony was held in a church...no swapping bugs as I say my vows! The reception was at a botanical garden but it was held in an old Danish Great Hall. Our pictures were taken in the garden. I am doing an outdoor wedding here in Atlanta as well next month. We are getting very creative with it. I think we have the best jobs!

Joanne, well back and congrats! Your wedding colors sound so unique and I bet they were beautiful together.I love the signature fragrance idea, that's truly creative. I also got a chance to check out your website, it was truly awesome. You are ver talented and seem to know your stuff. Best wishes on your business and in your marriage.

Thanks Pure Bliss!

that website is simply elegant ans beautiful

JOANNE, the custom fragrance sounds excellent and i really love the personal touch of the guests getting a phone call the morning of the wedding, that is so very classy.

Hi Joanne and congratulations on your recent wedding! I love your colors and your creativity. Developing your own signature fragrance for your guests was a wonderful idea! I'm sure that they will remember that for a long time to come. Welcome back to the sistahood and I am looking forward to seeing those pictures!

Joanne, congratulations! I'm happy everything worked out well for you (except the heat). You had great taste with all of the personal touches. Wonderful!!

What are you ladies talking about? I don't see the website and I really want to!

Ummmm....helloooooooooooooo...WHAT WEBSITE?????????????????????

Thank you all for the nice comments. I really had a wonderful time planning my wedding. If I can give one piece of advice it would be to start planning the day he places the engagement ring on your finger. I can't tell you how many deals and bargains I came across because I was not pressed for time. Also, if you are getting married next spring or summer, now is the time to purchase aisle runners, unity candles etc since the peak wedding season is over....they are dog cheap.

Askalot, I wish I knew how many you were at when you posted this. You are well on your way to 1000

FML, I think I was at about 760 or something like that. Actually, it had to be close to 800 because that was posted only last week. lol

Girl we all spend too much talking on here if its coming from the FH'S. Alvin says that to me all the time.I tell him either I talk to them about wedding stuff them bring the final product back to you or I talk to you about ALL the wedding stuff....He likes it the first way....lol

Joanne, you're website is amazing! I just kept clicking each link and saying to myself, "I want that". is that what 'something set apart' would provide or did you do that one especially for you and your hubby? This would be perfect for me and my FH bcuz he lives on the continent and most of his friends and family will not be able to attend the US ceremony.

That is a beautiful website. Congratulations!

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Are any of you ladies planing on opening a website up like Joanne. I think it is beautiful, but wondering if I should squeeze it into my budget.

mos def!

I have a lot of family on other caribbean islands so it was worth it for me to have a wedding website. It began as a wedding website plus it has online wedding planning tools ( online RSVP etc.). After the wedding, we turned it into our Wedding Photo Album. Once we have children, it will be turned into a baby website.
