BDW + Pinterest = love

Ohhh, I love your color palette! I'm all about grey lately, but haven't heard of it paired with coral and purple, but I'm 100% a fan.

I don't know any in your area, but I found that having someone who specializes in DW's is more important then having someone local.

I'm going to move this to the proper subforum, buy sell trade

Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to move this to the proper subforum of "buy, sell, trade"

I got married in Jamaica in May and it was H-O-T! But I wouldn't change a thing. It just depends on what you are comfortable with.

Hmmm, I would think that it would be much easier to go to a "one stop shop" as you called it rather then having to gather all the details. unless you hire a WC to handle it all. If you have the funds to hire a WC, then I would go with whatever location offers the ambiance that is most important to you.

I'm not familiar with that vendor, but I did do boudoir photos for my husband and I'm so glad I did. I hate getting my picture taken and am rarely in photographs b/c of my uncanny ability to hide, so the fact that I did sexy photos for him blew him away! I def think you should do them, whether it's with this vendor or not.

Unfortunately, there is no ability to edit posts...

Here are the search results that I found for your resort. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=Barcelo+Palace+Deluxe

Here is a link to the island subforum: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/f/36/the-islands-weddings And here is a link to the search results for threads containing Barbados: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=barbados It seems that it's mentioned a lot in newbie threads, but it doesn't appear to have it's own thread. Feel free to use this thread to post all the info that you find and eventually maybe this can be the information thread!

Looks like there isn't that much information available for that resort, I was going to offer some threads to search, but it's only mentioned in 37 threads. If you want to check out those threads, here is the search result: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=Gran+Bahia+Principe+La+Romana

I did a quick search and found some threads you might find helpful: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=blue+bay+grand+esmeralda

I think the end result is the same, and I'd be more concerned with the ease of getting them there, so I'd go for strands.

Oh I love the idea of renting a yacht or boat for the reception! I haven't heard anything like that yet. The resort WC might be able to assist you there. Here is a link you might find helpful to peruse: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=lady+hamilton

Don't worry, you are definitely not alone! I performed a search for any mention of your resort and got quite a few results, so you might want to check them out so you can chat with fellow bride/grooms. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=grand+sunset+princess

I remember having that issue too and I think it's just that they don't have the rates available that early. Can you confirm with your contact there when they will become available? I think I remember it being only 1 year ahead, so you might have to wait until April.

Here is a link to the search results for any thread mentioning Varadero: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=Varadero Perhaps you will find some hair tips/comment in there?

Sounds like you are super happy so far! Here is a search I performed that might give you some threads to poke around in: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/search.php?search=grand+palladium
