the resort bouqets are OK, nothing great for the money they charge for it. we brought the real touch bouqets...5 total. 4 bridesmaid and 1 for me. Yes, they were not cheap but im glad i did it...My bouqets are for sale now if interested

thank you:)

My thank you card photos finally arrived. I wanted to hand write each one of them individually. But everyone who attended gave us $/checks, no actuall gifts. How do i include this?i know some people say thank you for the money it will be our home downpayment etc... we already own a home, so what do i write?also we got some gifts($)from people who didnt attend, how do adress this? If anyone can share theirs, i would really appreciate that.Thanks in advcance...

hmm thats so weird that your divine package came with the column flowers, Mine just came with the table piece decor flowers. When i asked WC about the flowers for the columns, i was told its 100$ extra per column... weird... anyhow as far as the meal for the kids, they give you a separate menu to choose from(pasta with sauce, hamburger with fries etc..)it is around $15-17$ i believe...

for the rings: they set up the table with flowers...we did sand ceremony...so the vases were there, and the rings were in the shell next to it... menu print outs, thats something that the resort just does, i had no idea even that it will be available...

If anyone interested: i am SELLING few items from my wedding: Turqouise color paper lanterns 12'' -24 available -$30 Tiffany Blue/Aqua Satin Chair Sashes 45 available+ 6 Table Runners -$40 for all 1 Pool Blue Mens Tie-$6 3 Reall Touch Bouqets (gorgeous, from etsy) $70 each or Best offer

@sportsgirl. I know how you are feeling...4weeks away. But i can reassure you, that everything will be perfect! just remember to print all the email, highlight everything important, make a list with questions for your WC when you get down there.. As far as chairs, i do not think you need to pay for them twice (ceremony and reception)i think they move them... Because i had to pay for extra chairs at the ceremony(regular, not tiffany)and they just move them.... @RFFL: i got my flowers made by KateSaidYes, she is on etsy...i originally wanted Angelsaccent to do them, i found the bouqet on their site, and contacted them 5-6month prior to the wedding,along with other trusted sellers, and all i got from all of them was that they are fully booked already and can not take my order on. can you imagine??? so i started looking on etsy for a local seller(boston for me)then i found KateSaidYes, sent her the picture and she made them for me within a month, I went to her house and picked them up...so no shipping charges... She did a great job. Im actually considering to sell mine bouqets if anyone interested:)

i have my dress available... i had a swarovski sash stiched on it though...

Hi ladies,my wedding is over...and now i have another project to handle. I want to order a flush mount wedding album and since im spending $$$on this, i want it to be perfect. Has anyone used any specific graphic designer to create a custom layout?if yes, who did you use and what was your experience. I have seen some charging from$3-6$per page to design or $12 per spread. This can really add up.I see a lot of designers oversea from elance.com willing to do it for much less. But i have never done it, so looking for some input!Thank You

Garden room building is really far from everything, it doesnt even look like it belongs to the Now resort.

We did sit down dinner. I was actually very nervous about serving the same plated meal to everyone, but they gave vegitarian meal to people who doesnt eat meat/lobster... and we did steak only for people who doesnt eat lobster. It worked out very WELL, the food was excellent!

For the cake, i brought my reall touch flowers, and had them arrange it on the cake, i asked them to get the closest to my color ribbon, This cake was HUGE, back in a states this would be the size we get for 75-100ppl. I can not stress enough, how huge it was, it was excellent. We did each layer in different flavor...not like i got to taste it much, but everyone said it was great. I brought the 1full suitcase 40lb with all decor, sashes, flowers etc.... i couldnt be happier with food also.... Doing a reall touch flowers was the best thing i ever did! I get to keep my bouqets, and all i keep hearing was how awesome the bouqets were and no one could believe they were not real. Any questions, ladies please ask!Im here for you, feel free to private message me also, since i may not look through all the posts... One more thing, BRING your own hair spray, the super strong one. They used ton of hair spray on me, but im not sure if it was from huminity,,, but by the time reception dinner started, you couldnt even tell i had my hair done, also keep in mind my hair were down, thats what i wanted but i have known...i would have done updo... im not sure if there hairspray wasnt extraholdfirm....

yes i did see the reception at the quite pool, it looked really nice:)

here some pictures from our reception at castaway terrace
