How are you ladies dealing with the changes in the wedding packages and prices? I believe it also, the cost totally defeats the purpose. Just my thought.

Once you get there the wedding planner plans everything! And its all set.

We're trying to buy a house too so knowing how much we can spend on the wedding is a necessity... it's annoying with all the changes too- martha stewart and her collections don't appeal to me. The "carefree" wedding isn't turning out to be so carefree. Yes this is def. frustrating me as well!

Hot pink will def work! I like that dress a lot~

I encourage you to move up the chain in WCs if yours is not giving you adequate answers, and as per my attorney FI, get it all in writing. You really have the right to not have this be such a stressful procedure. Set your budget and ask them to help you work within it. Once I was invoiced and paid, the stress has gone down 100% (PS Super cute kitty!) Everything she says in writing is not what I want to hear. Not sure how I would get in writing what Im looking for?! Also with the free package you do not get 8 free tables. The "free package" is for the bride and groom and two guests for free, its also stated in the wedding package info.. Everyone else you must pay for unless you make it to 10 rooms. Which I think is how they make a lot of their money on the "free" packages. Im done stressing about it. Literally. I dont really care what Monica (WC) has to say. Were doing the basic half hour reception then dinner and dancing! Im not super stressed. More annoyed than anything really. Thanks about our kitty! We totes love her to pieces!

ewww dislike! jello?

HI and welcome to the forum! COngrats and happy planning!

I know in Turks @ beaches they do not perform sunday ceremonies.

OK so I voted but I wanted two vote for two. You have some important ones mixed with not important right now. First and foremost. Get out there and start dress shopping. It took 3 almost 4 months for my dress to come in. And I found it on my first shopping experience. And that doesnt happen to everyone. So start shopping and choosing and purchasing. Second if you are making your STD and invites. I would def start doing so. They take a while and they are handcrafted. Also I got our STDs about 10 months before our wedding to give people enough time to book and start planning their finances etc. That is def something you want to get out quickly. I would send your invites out in June/July time. Favors and programs you can do next summer. Id say first things first dress and STD's. DEF!

HI Sandy! Welcome to the BDWF! Happy planning and best wishes!

Hi Angelina! Welcome to the forum! Best wishes!

Yah that is my last option. Island Importer is pricey. We are paying for everyones outfits.BUt its my last option. Im going to order them soon. We dont leave until January 17th. SO we should be ok! And I have found them on macys, amazon, and some other places. BUt they are all about the same price. So I guess thats what Im going to do. We pay off the trip on Monday. Still need to purchase my girls bouquets. Entire bridal party gifts Towels and cups for OOT bags. OOT bags. Gift for my dad. Pay for photographer (installments.) not too worried. Find a bracelet. Finish paying for rings. Have my dress fitting on December 19th. Cant remember what else! And this woman from Etsy will not contact me back about FI's ring! making me nuts!

I say change the shoes. Sorry chicky! Save them for the rehearsal dinner and a cute dress!

Nice. I love that you dont care! we all need that attitude! its awesome. And good to hear from a bride. now lets see some pics!
