YOu gals went all out! Nice job! everything looks fantastic!

Well after reading amys post.. Im going to use hers as a guideline! LoL. Hope you dont mind amy! What I would do again: *Destination wedding destination wedding destination wedding!!! It is the absolute way to go!!! At some points of course I think you doubt the whole idea but it was literally so worth it! *The extensive research and time I spent on every detail for our wedding.. I loved every minute of it! I was also and still am obsessed with ETSY. It is a dream come true! *Becoming a member of BDW!!! Lots of amazing people and ideas! *Hire tropical imaging to take my BD photos and then to take us off Beaches property for our Wedding day photos and TTD photos!They were a dream! I am soooo happy we went with all of those shoots also! I had second thoughts about BD and TTD and I could not be happier with the fact that we did it. Def budget great pics into your wedding.. its the best way to capture the memory of your wedding! *Buy clay flowers! I loved and still love my wedding day flowers and I get to keep them forever. They are and always will be absolutely perfect. *Letting my husband choose the site for our wedding. He chose the gazebo and it was PERFECT. *We got to Beaches 5 days before our wedding. And we stayed 4 days after our wedding. I do wish we had one more day. But being there before an after was perfect. And it didnt feel rushed or like we missed out on anything. *OOT Bags and MUGS! Our guests and all of the other guests loved our mugs! They were great and perfect for large drinks. *Hiring Shenique Higgs for my makeup and hair. My makeup was legit flawless and out of this world! *Not wearing my wedding dress for my TTD. Wearing a completely different dress. My dress would have weighed atleast 60 pounds wet..agh that would be horrible. *Get a wedding DVD! Im soo happy we have this to remember by. Def a must have! * Jillian Michaels became my best friend. I wish I had gotten really serious with working out maybe one month earlier than I did. But Oh well. What I wouldn't do again: * Stress. Stress. Stress. NOT WORTH IT! Wedding day was perfect and I felt soo at ease. *Look at tripadvisor. People Bi$%! about anything and everything! Especially on the internet. *Second guess every single decision.. my dress, the resort, length of stay, etc etc. But I guess thats the whole process, right?! *Not settle for Beaches telling me no about bring Tropical imaging on property! **The only thing that really bums me out about our wedding day is that I should have had our photog take pics of me getting ready. But the thought didnt dawn on me until we got home from our trip. And I also wish we had gotten a group photo with everyone! I really wanted that and we did not get it. But besides that our wedding was perfect and magical! I wish I could plan all over again!!! Good luck to all the future brides!

def. I laughed I cried I had butterflies.. LoL. It was such dramatic finale. it was really perfect though!

Holy hell the finale was INTENSE!

very fun! When and where are you getting married?

Heyyy I absolutely loved loved loved Tropical Imaging. Ileana was my photographer for my BD shoot, our wedding day, and TTD shoot. She was outstaning and amazing! And since they were not allowed on property;. I bought a few a la carte pictures from our ceremony from beaches. But I didnt have to purchase a package of any sort. But 6 pictures from Beaches was $130 sooo pretty pricey! Glad you decided to go with tropical imaging. They will make your day that much more special!

Agh Im seriously sooo confused. I can not figure this out. LoL. I feel so dumb.

HI Michelle! Welcome to the forum! I was married at Beaches Turks and Caicos in January and we absolutely loved it. I seriously would not fret over the room. You are barely in it. We stayed in the caribbean village in the deluxe honeymoon king suite and it was veryyy nice! If you check out my review you will see pics of the resort and my room and such. You will love Beaches turks and caicos! Have you checked Tropical Imaging for your photos?? They were also AMAZING! highly suggested!! Def contact me if you have any questions! Good Luck!

They came out great!!! your hubby to be will love them!!

MOMX2- the problem with beaches turks and caicos and the local photographers; Tropical Imaging whom I used as well. Is we could technically use outside photographers etc BUT they know the staff from tropical imaging because they used to work at Beaches! They would not let me hire Tropical Imaging and do a three night stay with them. Even if we paid for it. I asked many managers and such. It was strange. I dont get it. delnel24- I agree with everything you said! They didnt give you the option of 3pm or 4pm? Our wedding was at 4pm.. for no extra charge. I agree. Hire wedding coordinators that arent out for commission.

MIne is 8x8 with 20 pictures. I could have done more. But I saw someone elses in person and it was perfect. Simple and sweet!

COngrats and welcome to the forum! I too am a Beaches Turks and Caicos past bride!!! I love this forum and I love Turks and Caicos! Best wishes to you!!! "AIishaB"- I love love love your monogram!

But I have been to Sandals Royal Bahamian. My best friend was married there and I can tell you I'm not one for chain companies and can see why you think or may hear that it's cheesy but her wedding was AWESOME! It was the most beautiful wedding and this was even before they offered themes. Just everything was so easy. The bride did not stress about anything and the background was beautiful. You don't need a lot of decorations or flowers because the resorts are just that beautiful. Every person that worked at the resort treated us so great. I think you have to stay at Sandals resort to understand. I've never experienced anything even close to as great as that vacation. You said it perfectly! We didnt use martha stewart packages either. and we let the resort and the scenery make our wedding beautiful.I was literally stress free and felt great on wedding day. It really is an awesome resort/company!

I too was also married at Beaches Turks and Caicos. And I thought everything was perfect. We got married at the gazebo. And there were a few onlookers in the distance but they didnt allow anyone to be right there that was not part of your wedding. They closed off certain areas so people wouldnt be walking while I was wakling down the aisle etc. The wedding coordinator really knows how to run the show. THe resort was sold out for our entire 10 day stay and never once did it feel packed or crowded. The beach was huge, multiple pools, there was always a lounge chair available and there was never a wait for dinner. I think the resorts are gorgeous. And you will be really happy with your choice.

Nice girl!!!!! Your hubby to be will love them!

Love them V! Sooo great!!!
