Majestic Colonial or Elegance Brides Post Here

OMG Amber your pictures are amazing! You look sooo beautiful! Congrats on your amazing wedding, can't wait to read your review.

Your pictures are amazing. You are a beautiful bride. Congratulations Amber!!
Did you get the flowers from the resort or did you bring your own? Also, did the resort place the flower petals that are on the beach as you walked down the aisle or did you have to provide? I can't wait to hear your review.

Congrats Amber! Your pictures are beautiful! Did you fly your photographer down?

Sunnycherries - Gorgeous pics!!! Where is your photog based? I couldn't find th e info on their website...are they based in DR?

Thanks girls!

Ok, to answer questions...

 

After another Bittersweet Wedding fiasco (feel free to stalk!), we gave up fighting with Crystal and decided to just go with the resort flowers. I'm thinking it was almost meant-to-be because the resort flowers were SO beautiful! We would do it all again in a heartbeat! I was so upset after dealing with Bittersweet I basically didn't even care about the flowers anymore. I simply let Maritee know (literally) a couple of days in advance we would need flowers, that I liked a picture of a lily arrangement in a "sample flowers" email she sent and that our colour was fuchsia. They turned out PERFECT!! And OMG they smelled SO good! Pricewise, they actually ended up being CHEAPER than what we were supposed to pay with Bittersweet (and we didn't have to lug them down there with us)! For 5 boutonnieres, 2 bridesmaid bouquets, 1 bridal bouquet and 2 Mother's corsages, it worked out to be roughly $300.

 

We did!...

 

Our photographers were Ben and Laura Harrison of Harrison Studios, based out of Michigan. They were an absolute dream to work with! Very professional, and super fun! Their email is [email protected]. They also have an awesomesauce blog: HARRISONSTUDIO | the blog of the destination wedding photographers of Harrison Studio

Hey!

 

Im planning an April 2011 wedding! Let me know if anybody is planning around the same time and would like to book the same photographer (Phil Steingard)!!

 

Happy Planning =)

Hi ladies! I've heard that Maritee is no longer with the Majestic. Has anyone else had her as their coordinator? And did you get any notification??

I have/had her as a co-ordinator. I just found out from the Majestic Facebook group. I guess a woman named Claudia is replacing her.

Yeah, I just sent an email to Maritee's old email address and Claudia responded confirming all of my wedding details. I'm glad I sent an email to make sure nothing was lost in the transition.

Hi everyone, I am a MC April bride, my wedding date is April 26th. I just emailed Maritee (Claudia?) so I am waiting for a response from her. She must be swamped with emails!

Just a few questions:

 

I am doing a symbolic ceremony, do I need to bring my marriage license with me for this?My fiance and I are going to a JP within the next month, so I am not sure if I will receive it in time.

 

Also, what type of decorations does the resort provide for the reception? It is my understanding I have to bring most of the decorations. Are chair sashes provided, or table runners? I am trying to make a list. What about the paper lanterns I see in a lot of photos, do brides bring those?

 

I am less than 4 months out and I suppose I have some decsions to make, I wonder if it's a bad thing I am not stressing over any of this!
