RIU RM Palace Brides??

Lisa- did you take chair bows? Were the white covers automatically on the chairs?

josie/lisa - help me tonight before i go to bed please.i have received THE EMAIL today and on there my wedding date is correct but at the bottom in red (i think thats the only part of the letter they change)it says my meeting date is the same day as the wedding at 11am.please tell me you dont have a meeting on the day of the wedding??

 

im sorry to sound dramatic i am feeing really emotional today.fi is working away all week and we have been looking forward to receiving this forever and it comes whilst hes away.and i cant even speak to him for a few hours either.

 

i am really excited tho now omg IM GETTING MARRIED TO LOVE OF MY LIFE

shellk- SOOO Exciting you are getting so close! Did you get your BD photos back yet Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I'm sure Josie and Lisa can help you out! Take a deep breath! Just like you said, you are marrying the love of your life!!!!! Everything will work out! Maybe a glass of wine to help calm your nerves....

sammysgirl - we didn't have chair covers at all, I like the just white and because we had 2 different colors for the wedding party it would be too much I think. The chair covers came with the Caprice wedding package that we got.

 

ShellK - Your meeting should NOT be the day of your wedding, I would let the wedding coordinator know this. Our meeting was Tuesday and we were married Thursday.

Ah!! I'm supposed to get automatic email notifications if someone posts in this thread...so i thought no one had been chatting. sorry for my delay but here are my answers!

 

Lisa- I didnt get all my shower thank-you's out either, and my shower was over a month before my wedding, so don't feel bad! I'd send a combo...just make it extra nice!

 

 

 

absolutely not! my meeting was 2 days before my wedding. I'm sure it was just a typo!!!!!!!! don't worry AT ALL!!!!!! So Happy for you and can't wait to see your pics and hear about your experience! you're such a sweetheart!

 

I know this wasnt to me, but i took my chairbows.... i got them for .99 and at riu they were $4. The white is included.

 

I got my BM dresses at JC Penny for $25 dollars a piece!!!!!!!! They were amazing!! It was seasonal though so I don't think they have those exact ones anymore....but I'd definitely check the department stores. Especially during prom/homecoming and the other high school dance events. All of my bm's were tiny...so i was able to get these from the juniors department!

 

The girls got their own shoes... i just told them "gold"...so you can probably tell from the pics that the shoes did not all match!

 

Also yes, i brought the chair bows down, and still have them if you want. I have about 55 orange ones. They were small and easy to pack!

 

Yes, I brought my own chair bows (not the white covers though, those are provided) I also brought the fans down which i thought was a beautiful touch... everyone LOVED them!

 

My photographer was flown in and I DID NOT pay any $100/day fee. I simply told the resort that my guests were photographers and would be taking my pictures, and they never charged me! I would go that route if you're planning to fly someone down. I won a BDW contest so I just had to pay for flight and hotel, I had 2 photographers and it ended up being around $1400 total which I think was very reasonable! But depending on what you want, you can spend up to 5 or 6K. I didn't want to go over 2, but that is just me personally!

 

In terms of the private reception. They will work with you. Even if you have a small guest count I'm sure they'd still do a private reception. The DJ was one of the best parts of my entire night and I couldnt imagine my wedding without him....... he was a BLAST!!!!!!!! So don't sacrifice

 

josie,thanks for the videos you have got me thinking again do i book it or not.you wicked wife you.did you use the spa for makeup?

I'm sorry I forgot to answer this earlier! Yes I did the make up and I really liked it! But then again, I suck at putting on make-up so I probably would have been happy with just about anything. They let you pick your eye-shadow shade so don't worry about it being too drastic!! I think you will be very happy if you do it. It was a big relief to me and my make-up lasted the entire day and even withstood cake being smashed ALL OVER my face!!

Thanks for the help girls!

 

JOSIE- I love your avatar pic!

thankyou so much ladies for the speedy responses.just wanted to make sure i was right in thinking i would,nt have the meeting on the same day as our wedding.i have already emailed her back asking lol.i cant believe we finally received it.

 

josie,i have booked treatments at the spa for us and our friends for the morning of the wedding including hair and make up.my hair is short and simple i wouldnt mind doing that myself but was a little worried about looking like a drag queen lol.

 

lisa,great pic girl

shell- no problem!

 

sammysgirl- thanks! they are from my TTD... I got a few unedited sneak peeks today.... here they are!

 

it was overcast in the afternoon when we did the shoot...but i think it made the pics turn out kinda stormy and romantic looking. cant wait to see the rest! we even got in the fountains and pool

omg i LOVEEE your TTD pics! They are awesome! I want to see more!!

me too!!!!!!!!!
