Velvet flocking for a damask print is very elegant any time of year. I love it! You will never find the exact shade of pink for every element of your wedding.. instead, go for various shades of pink and orange in your flowers and other decor and you will get a better cohesive look. Good luck!

Everything look great! Love that e-ring your thinking of putting your diamond into

Great job! Thanks for sharing!

Amazing! So many great ideas!! Fab job!

stunning stunning stunning. You are the kind of bride I hope to be!! Everything was perfect. Congrats Nades!!!

Wow Tucks! You went all out! Everything is very creative and beautiful. Great Job!!

Karla you looked simply stunning at your wedding! Congrats babe!

I also used the hotel photographer and I do recommend them...I will write more later but they are aware of the issues and problems people have about them and are making changes to that reputation...ok sorry more more later but just checking in with you all. Cant wait to see your review! Congratulations!!

Another toughie!! good luck ladies

Happy Wedding Day Nades!!!!

Its great! I love it!

Great Job Karla! I love your flower choices and your rings! Both yours and your FI's... I'm gonna show his to my FI Have a BLAST in JAMAICA!!!!

Tape runners are definetly the fastest and easiest. There are re-fillable ones at Michaels craft stores that help to cut down on the cost.

Holy Schmoly... not looking forward to this process!! Hopefully I can do the name change with the official copy here in Canada...

Great Job! I heart your shoes too

Yes, they did rope off the whole area with the lights all around the sand to create a dance floor area and they set up colored light posts wrapped in white fabric that looked BEAUTIFUL..it really did not turn out in the pics, but it looked amazing. The WC coordinated all of that and it was included in the price of the band/bonfire (band was $563 for 1.5hrs and bonfire was $504 for 1.5hr the bar was $15pp for 1.5hrs) They took it on themselves to set up all of the extras---stage, lights, disco ball, cocktail tables, chairs,etc.. I think they did all of this for me b/c I was very nice to them and really communicated to them and was organized, which made their job easier. The more you have planned out, the better your wedding will be, becasue then they have the time to work out the extras!! Some of the brides that got married during my stay, did not have a wedding that went nearly as smoothly, because they did not have the detailed planning etc.. that us girls from this forum have. We saw two really bad weddings one at the Suites and one at the Grand, but my WC said those girls did not have anything planned and had not communicated with them at all before their arrivals. Wow! That is fantastic! I'm so glad to hear that the WC's are so helpful and accommodating. I hope my experience is as great as yours. I will definitely be super organized and communicate with them a lot. I have to hold myself back from harassing them, I dunno how those brides did not even talk to theirs before showing up!! How was your cake? You said the resort did it?

Great review Jess!! I seriously loved all your wedding details and am dying for the pro pics!! Congrats!

I'm so happy to hear the December weather was perfect! I'm so excited! Please do a review - I have a ton of other questions which I bet would be answered in your review. But if you don't wanna do one, I can just keep bugging you here I bet the whole Iberostar resort changed to Flower studio then. Hopefully they will be more flexible. I noticed Tai Flora was not the greatest. The cost is not an issue for me...

The WCs went over and above to make this very special. They had cocktail tables and chairs in a lit up dance floor with a stage for the band. It was everything I thought it would be and more…to the point where I wondered if the wedding would top it (which it did!). My best friends at the Japanese Rehearsal Dinner and bonfire…they gave us the whole restaurant to ourselves (55 people) from 6pm-8:30pm! We had chicken, lobster, and steak!! The above quote was what I meant by the dancefloor - did the WC's coordinate all the tables/chairs/dancefloor stuff for your bonfire/private bar on the beach? or did you use an outside supplier?

Debbie - thanks so much for the update on the new WC! I'm happy to hear actually that they have new one as I heard the last one was not all that great. Melfredo - alot of the Iberostar brides in the past have brought an Ipod with all their music and used the resort equipment (or maybe it was the resort DJ's equipment?). I'm sure its going to be tough with you guys both being DJs to give that control to someone else! Especially someone you don't know! Can you convince a guest to 'push play'? If not, you may have to prepare yourself to let the DJ do it for you!!!

Yay Leslie!! I'm so happy to hear everything went great at the Grand! Are you doing a review? I will definetly be saving this thread! You said you got a lighted dance floor? Where? How much? How was the weather this time of year? Was 'flower studio' cheaper than the resort florist? Were they good? Your planning thread is incredible and it looks like you all had a great time!! So happy for you!!

Wow Karla! They look so good!!! great job!

Woot Woot! Finally!! If he didn't do it this weekend we were all gonna take a trip down there and kick him in the manmeat Congrats!!!
