Love this theme Tammy! Its nice to see all the nice bright bouquets from everyone. Here is mine.

Welcome to the forum! Do you have a location in mind for your wedding already?

I bought paper lanterns from asianideas.com that I am having Dreams wire to light the reception area. Also the arch is really a canopy for the beach since our ceremony is on the beach.

I answered your questions below in blue. Quote: Originally Posted by roxych1k Hey girls, o.k, few questions, did any of you use any of the wedding packages that Dreams offers? I guess i am using the one that comes free with the 7 nights paid in a honeymoon suite. I am also adding stuff though...lanterns, speakers, arch..etc. These are all extras over the package. I want to know if it's useful to use them or just find local vendors. I'm assuming the coordinator will help find vendors if I need to (right?). Dreams is providing all of my stuff (Flowers, cake, etc). I hired Suzanne Morel to do my hair and makeup though on my own. Also, did you use any websites, travel agents to help the guests book their hotel and flight so they can save some money? I am working with a travel agent (Tammy-Host) and see arranged a room block for us which fixed the cost during the time our guests were going to be there. My guests just now have to call her and book their stay and they get that rate. What hotels are around Dreams that were affordable? Depends on what time you are going....that is going to require some reseach on your part to figure out what is around there and the dates which you will be there. I want most of my family to be able to come so I want to help them out as much as I can and steer them in the right direction. Thanks! Nadia

Holy cow I am having my hair/make up done by Suzanne Morel and they just said they wanted to start at 10:30am and my ceremony isnt till 6:00....I only have 2 other BM getting their hair done...isnt this a little early to start this? I thought maybe starting at 1:00 and then the photographer is coming around 4:00. Is this normal to start this early?

I love them...I love the colors!!

Oh I am right there with you ladies! This weekend was awful. I am on spring break at least from school this week so every day after work I am going to the gym to work those extra calories off!! Dont get discouraged yet, we still have a few days to get back on track before we have to weigh in!!

We had a required room block deposit as well. Once everyone booked that money went straight towards our room total.

They turned out fantastic. I love the starfish!!

Welcome to the forum!! There are a ton of Dreams brides, including myself, on here to help you with your planning!!

I did Mr. & Ms. Last name and left it like that since both are helping with the wedding.

ooh yeah its going to be so hard with the easter candy! Someone brought in those mini eggs today which are my favorite! I am trying to just drink my water and ignore that bag!!

Does anyone have any pictures of Oceana Restraunt and the Asian restraunt? I am trying to put pictures of them in a brochure for my guests when they come to tell them about the restraunts! TIA

What a great keepsake!! Sarah you did an amazing job on those!

I was just trying to figure this out myself yesterday! I think I might start at 3pm because I also have 3-4 people who are having their hair done too.

Great job, they turned out great!!

Those look fantastic...I did the embossing too on my invites...love your palm tree stamp!!

Congratulations Sarah!!! Keep up the good work ladies...

ohh I really like that dress! I like the jade color...what are your other colors in the wedding like flowers etc? That might help you decide the color?

to the forum & Congratulations on your engagment!!

Whoa Sarah that is great....sorry you are sick though that really isnt fun!! I didnt do so well again...lost but not even a whole pound. I am really going to focus this week on my food and go from there. I did 5 days at the gym last week again so I just need to watch my calories. Keep up the good work ladies!!

I am actually in a monetary/financial stats class right now and I am lost....so dont feel bad. This stuff is hard if your in the class..let alone never taking it. Like Christa said...post some questions and I am sure we can try to help you.

We are doing 2 selections: a beef tenderloin or mahi mahi. We actually have the ravioli too since we have a few vegetarians coming. We are doing invidivudal tres leche cakes for dessert, ceasar salad and the shrimp cocktail martini for appetizer.
