Your pictures are all beautiful! Did you say that your bouquet and your bridesmaids' bouquets were from the resort? Did you upgrade them at all or are they what is supplied?

Yes, that is the free bridal bouquet provided by the resort, it's called the "tropical cascading". I paid for each of the bridesmaid's bouquets, but it was a minimal cost (sorry I cant remember the $ amount). They are not an upgrade so it was very affordable.

I believe the dj's name was Prince, and he did act as an MC as well... he announced our first dance, father/daughter mother/son dance, etc. I just did up a little list for him with our choice of songs (We gave him a CD we had burnt with our songs we wanted to hear at first) and he announced everything and was great! I was very happy with him and gave him a $40 tip, (I think, it may have been more, I was heavily into the rum runners by the time I tipped him, hee hee!)

Everything looks so beautiful. I was wondering where you got your flower from? I am having a hard time deciding on flowers. Yours were very pretty.

Thanks! My flowers are simply the free flowers the resort provides! :) They're called tropical cascading and are included in the free wedding package!

Thank you! The dress is actually by Venus Bridals - Venus Bridals, but I think the one I wore has since been discontinued. The back was done by the bridal store however, they altered it themselves and I loved it and bought it as it was!
