Congrats and Happy Planning!

I'm guessing they left the stem a little longer and put a rock on top of it. The orchid blossoms will float. If you have a whole stem submerged they stay under

My computer is my work computer. It's just weird and I wondered if I was the only one. It seems to happen most in the Newbies forum. Perhaps I reached my welcome quota?

I'd vote for Negril, but I got married there so I'm a little biased. Congrats and happy planning!

You're right! Your friends are awesome! It looks like a really fun shower. I may have to steal the pinata idea!

I don't know what is up, but sometimes I randomly get messages saying my IP address has been banned by the host. Sometimes I can navigate away from the page and come back to post a reply but then other times, no matter what, I cannot respond to a particular thread. I PMed Tammy the last time this happend and she said it was just a weird internet thing. I don't think I've done anything bad. It's just scary to see that pop up! If I have to quit BDW it has to be a slow weaning process. I can't go cold turkey! I'd actually have to work!

Welcome back! I'm glad you had a great time! I can't wait to see the "real" pics!

What a great way to keep people informed. I'm sure the blog also has some therapeutic value as well. Happy thoughts and good wishes from me!

double post...OOPS!

I would go with ivory, maybe with a sash in a wedding color to help tie everything together. Is your dress a Casablanca?

Congrats Jennifer! You do so much work to be an informed TA! I know that your clients must get grade-A service! I'm sure it's terrible having to go to the RM for research, LOL

So sorry you had to deal with that! Did you talk to the manager? Why the discrepancy in price? Just because it was cardstock?

I like the veil at the top of your head in the first set of pics. But, I like both hair styles a lot. I went for all up just because of the heat and humidity. I don't guess we've helped much! LOL

I want to stay in one of those also because of the shutter style glass free windows even if the bathrooms arent as nice as the newer ones. Do you now if any of the Atriums have a beachview at all, ive heard conflicting stories. Thanks for any info My MOH had a beach view. The thing to keep in mind is that all of the rooms are angled. Only the beachfront rooms are on the beach, but you could see the ocean from pretty much every room that I was in, especially on the 3rd floor. (Atrium buildings are only 2 story) Her room was 1107 I think? She did have a mini bar. I think they are in the process of converting everything over. All of the patios have a sofa, table and at least one chair. There are hammocks tucked all over the property and along the beach. I need to go through pics and post them for all of our CSA newbies!

Congrats and Welcome from a fellow Negril bride. Have fun searching the forum! I'm sure you'll find lots of helpful info!

Stephanie - the Atrium suites are very nice. My MOH stayed in one. The blaconies/patios are massive! They don't have TVs and some don't have tubs, only very large showers. You really can't go wrong no matter what the room category.

These are all really impressive! The talent on BDW never ceases to amaze me!

Be sure your resort will allow and accept shipments. Not all of them do. You might want to look into checking extra bags. It will probably be cheaper and the bags will be empty when you return (unless you bring your stuff back or buy a bunch of stuff) If you arrive at the airport early ask to be upgraded to first class. We did this and it was the best decision we ever made and much cheaper than booking a first class ticket to begin with. Those baggage limits have not changed with most airlines so you are allowed 3 pieces of luggage each - 2 at 70 pounds and 1 at 50 pounds. In addition to the free bags you get bigger seats, free drinks and food, and priority status, so your bags are the first off the plane!

Welcome Kim! You might also want to check out Negril. The beach is amazing! Congrats and happy planning!

Awww Jennifer! Your review and pics make me wish I was back there! Other Jennifer, LOL, We had no problem with road noise in the Garden Veranda Suite. Sure, you could sort of hear it when outside, but never inside. There really wasn't that much traffic that I recall. We started to book a Greathouse Suite, but didn't so I don't have any first-hand info. My only concern would be noise from the disco & bars or possibly to pool during the day, depending on where your room is. I will tell you from personal experience, if you have any issue whatsoever with the room, they will move you with no problems. The front desk staff is amazing!

That is a great price!

I love them! The colors are great. Just a tip--when posting invites or anything with personal info, you might want to cover up your phone number or address, etc. Or you might not be as paranoid as I am...LOL

Please search for Juan Carlos. Many brides have used him and he is a member. Remember with anything, you get what you pay for. When we brides make out a budget, we have to decide what we can afford and where to allot those funds. I found that I was able to have some of the things I wanted even though it was more than I anticipated by cutting corners other places.

You can get them, but they need at least 2 weeks to special order them. They are not stocked as a general rule. You will need to stay on top of this with your WC and the florist. If for some reason they can't get the lilies or they are the wrong color, you might be SOL. You can try Floral Fantasy; Flowers for All Occasions from Negril, Jamaica They are supposed to be adding delivery to OR, but I don't know what the pricing is. I've heard Tia Flora is a little pricey, but have no personal experience with them. We used Floral Fantasies through our resort and prices were cheaper than what they quoted me.

Welcome! I am partial to Couples Swept Away because I was married there! I'm sure you'll find lots of info here to help you make your decision.
