I ordered some tikki lights and going to do beach candles not sure how many I need yet. Your day is coming real soon. How exciting!!! It's too bad we just miss each other there. I cant wait also to see your pictures. Everyone's are going to be so beautiful. So are you all set now? Best Wishes to you.. Yup-- we are doing tiki torches and beach candles for the dinner on the 17th- the beach candles are only $2/each -so we are doing 30 beach candles and 10 tiki torches..- we are also using the flower "medallions" from the gazebo from the wedding ceremony as centerpieces for the dinner on Saturday... Crazy how fast everything came- only 9 more nights in Raleigh before we leave! I so wish we could have a drink with you there! I just can't wait to see all the EDR bride's pictures-- I know everyone will have amazing weddings! It'll be so much fun to see everyone's different style...Tracy-so glad everything worked out! You must have good karma... :)

OMG -you designed your dress?!?! That has to be the coolest thing I've heard about a wedding dress--- ever. You are so talented!

LOVE them - so elegant!!!

The dress is BEAUTIFUL!! and I actually think you got a reasonable price for the bustle-- it looks like a pretty "complicated" bustle-- I paid about that much for a bustle on my dress... Congrats-- you'll look amazing!

If it was just for a cocktail party I wouldn't care either. I gave them the idea about the sign but it stillwill be semi private. So they gave us the option of white gazebo on the beach area for reception or health bar. What do you think about having reception on the beach? I believe we are going to have it on the beach considering it was our choice before gaviota's. They wouldn't do it then cause our party wasn't large enough but they will now with all the changes as an exception they said. I'll see if I can find the reviews and photos. I can't wait to see all your other photos. Thanks for you help & any suggestions. YAH Tracy!! So happy for you! This is kinda what you wanted to do originally, right? The white gazebo beach area is where we are having our private dinner on Saturday... Can't wait to see your pix!

those are so pretty- and can totally be worn again-- an amazing gift!

THANK YOU Morgan for starting this thread!!! WOW-- I had no idea...I'm sending this thread to FI.... thanks again, girls!

I LOVE the nautical theme!! they are perfect!!

Everything looks AMAZING!!!! you did a really fabulous job-- the color scheme will be so beautiful and your dress--wow.....

Hey-- we were able to add personal vows and a sand unity ceremony on to the end of the legal part... we just sent the script to the WC a few weeks and she got it "approved" by the judge......

LOVE LOVE your dress!!! if you got anymore pic- would love to see them- I get married at EDR, 2 weeks from tomorrow! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Heidi- Pix are AMAZING!! Wedding was insanely beautiful!! CONGRATS!!!

I voted just bathing suit-- it's SUPER cute!!! and since you already have an outfit that is black/blue-- than I think just the pink one would be good..I definitely say go for it-- if you want it

Thanks soo much for the review!! I'm sending it out to my sister and gfriends that are going! --I'm so glad to hear the on-site coordinator is amazing, and that everything seemed to go smoothly! Sounds like you had an amazing time- and I can't wait to see your pro pix!! I know it took alot of time to do the review-- thank you so much and CONGRATS!!!!!!

You're so fortunate to have had Sol photography - I love their work, too!! Nolaroy - don't worry about the hair and make-up. I, too, was worried and didn't have any type of a make-up and hair trial, but it turned out PERFECTLY on my big day there, too. PERFECT--I'm getting my hair and makeup done there-- and both you and Heather look AMAZING- so hopefully they can work some of that magic on me- hehe congrats!

Your BM dresses are GORGEOUS- so hot!! and your dress is so so beautiful-- what a stunning wedding! Thanks for posting!! Congrats!!!

Everything look so amazing-- thanks so much for posting pictures. You are absolutely stunning -love your dress!!! Looking forward to more pix and the review! So so so happy everything went so well!!!

Congrats on booking!! :)

Tami-- can't wait to see more!! I love love the one with you &your girls backs to the camera w/ the parasols-and your cake is so beautiful!! Everything looks amazing-definitely need to visit DR! Congrats again!

Great review----except pix!! :) We need pix! Congrats on an amazing wedding!!!!

Or- instead of going directly through Karisma-- you could look at getting a travel agent, and using their rates? We used a travel agent, and some of our guests booked through her and some just booked on their own, but at least we had a TA available for our guests, if they wanted to use her....
