    Jessy,

     

    I LOVE everything!!

     

    Did you make the brown brochure holders yourself? If not, what company did you order them from?

     

    Which template did you use on vistaprint for the luggage tags to get the blue border on the left side?

     

    How did your bags work out? Where did you purchase them?

     

    Lastly, do you mind sharing your template or could you please share with us how you faded out the starfish photo on the raffia card poem?

     

    Thanks in advance!!

It will be just FI and I therefore it will be a small, simple and short wedding. I don't know if it is because the time is nearing or I am just having some wedding jitters but I am very nervous. I am sometimes having regrets on booking the basic wedding at SGOR because I read that the basic package comes with no kind of decorations. This sucks, but is it real noticeable if you don't do any decorations. I feel like I spent too much money to get nothing. Also any past brides that had their pictures taken, how was the outcome and quality.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated and if any past brides are still active on the board can you please assure me that I haven't made a bad choice in booking SGOR.
    Hi,

    Amanda, one of the past SGOR brides has pictures posted in her SGOR review.

    I have attached the link for you.

    Just the two of us are going to be attending our wedding, so we're going to have the free reception. The first dance and cake will give us a chuckle since it'll be just us! But we booked a candlelight dinner on the beach for afterward so that should be a nice way to spend the evening :)

    TA Jennifer, we are staying in a Riviera Deluxe Room in the Bamboo Grove Building at SGOR. Are these generally good rooms? We definitely wanted to be on the Riviera side to be part of the action. I'm starting to feel jealous of the concierge idea...lol As you said, it would be really relaxing to have room service and 24 munchies and a mini-bar, especially as it IS our honeymoon! Maybe I'll have to consider upgrading...

    Thanks again!
    The candlelight dinner on the beach sounds like a perfect ending for just the two of you!

    Can't wait to see pictures...

    Did anyone by OOT bag stuff in Jamaica?
