So i deffinetly want to do a flower in my hair and maybe a vale, but I cant decide if I should do a white flower or one of my colors. My colors are orange and turquoise. I dont have a good eye for accessories, im really clueless lol! so these are my 2 ideas if you can let me know your thoughts that would be great!!! Â My white dress, white vale, white hair flower, with orange and or turquoise neckless and earining. Â OR Â My white dress, white vale, orange hair flower, and diamond or crystal jewelry. Â OR Â A mixture of both lol!!! I have no idea!!! My dress is very simple now beading or lace or anything just white lond and flowy. Â THANKS Amie Â

Sherribritt, I am bringing my own photographer form NH for my wedding. I just had to pay for their airfair and 3 nights at the Jade and they are going to take pictures the whole 3 days including a TTD

is there a new email address for Ana? Is Pilar gone completely?

Yes I would be interested in this! My wedding is at the NOW Jade Feb 11, 2011. Thanks Amie

Wedding is at 4pm on the beach

Feb 11, 2011 is my wedding date. Cant wait!! just doing the finishing touches at this point. I heard back from Pilar today so I hope all you ladies did to!

This is the address i have for Pilar, it may be the same for Sandra. I normaly get a reply on a monday or wednesday [email protected]

SO i am deffinetly bringing my own chair bows! its going to be way cheaper!! Just trying to decide on the exact fabric, but im leaning toward Crystal Organza My colors are Orange and Turquoise. I am having the canopy but I didnot get the flowers (too expensive) so I want to bring matching fabric for it. I emailed Pilar for the dimentions and an exact photo of it so I know how much ill need. So we will see what she says. I am having 20 to 25 guests and we are having the dinner at the Festivel Terr so I was wondering if there will be one long table or a few small ones.....I am hopeing for one long table so we can all eat together! I emailed her about that too so we will see. Anyone know about this?? I know most of you on here are having more guests then I but figured id ask. Finaly has anyone asked about having BM carrie one flower down the isle? Cost and flower choices for this? Have a good one Jade brides!!

Amie and Mark Feb 11, 2011 WOOOO HOOOOO 9 booked..

And I don't want to be mean about it. So i'm just going to have to ask again and have my TA ask her too. She sent me a few pictures of Pure and it's nice but if we can't have a real reception then I'll have to change my date. Which sucks so bad. I'm trying to stay away from week day wedding because most people are coming for the weekend which means they are not taking that many days off from work. Also my son will be going with us for the whole time. He is the main reason we chose the time we were having the wedding because he will be off from school for a week during that time. and the next time he will have that much time off from school is in April...and no I don't want to push my wedding back another 3 months!!! lol I'm ready to go NOW!!!! well that would suck if you had to push it back 3 months!! Are you friends with the NOW on face book? there is a woman from the resort that is always on there her name is Diana Manrique and she will anwser you back right away! I would post your question on there and if she doesnt know the anwser she will go ask Pilar to find out the anwser. Good Luck!! i have my fingers crossed for you! FYI the only days i ever recieve emails from Pilar are Mondays and Wednesdays

Did they throw in anything at all for free and if so what items. I am going with the Divine package also but like the eternity food better. What did they charge you for downgrade the food? Also it states in this package you get corsages for the maid of honor and bridesmaid but did you find out anything about a bridesmaid bouquet and what they look like? Any help or advice would be appreciated as i am right in the middle of the quote process. Thanks again and I hope you post lots of pics after the wedding? we are having 25 guests so we did not have to pay for extra plates luckely!! I dont see why she wouldnt extend the video instead of having a photographer. Its like she took the $600 used to pay for the photographer and instead paid the caribbean trio, so im sure she could do the same for the video guy. I did make sure she put a note on the quote about that too! Oh i wrote that wrong, we are doing the eternity package and upgraded to the divine food, sorry. she charged $5 pp

I just got my final qoute from Pilar yay!! So now I have most of the details worked out!! Ceremony on the beach, cocktails at Blue Beach Bar, Dinner on Festival Terrace. I chose the Divine package but I liked the Eternity food better so I upgraded the food. I also wanted the canopy for the ceremony you see in most of the pictures, but I think it was listed at $400 to $600 YIKES!! But I was able to get the canpoy with out the flowers and orange chair bows for much much less! As I said before I am bringing my own photographers so I was able it swap the hotel photographer for the Caribean Trio to play during the cocktail hour woohoo!! Now I just have to choose the flowers and the cake.....Feb 11 here I come!!

I am deff going to bring some kind of favor and or OOT bag. For the favor I was thinking of shot glasses (we love tequila, and it is mexico). but I havent really decided if thats what i want to do. I love the idea of the paper lanterns for the ceremony and hanging star fish from the chairs but hate the thought of having to lugg everything to mexico!! so i am going to try NOT to have to bring decorations. We are doing a sand ceremony so ill have to bring the vase. I may do star fish place cards but again idk lol. .......i am trying to think of something other then flowers for my brides maids to carry down the isle.........and ideas

we will be there feb 5th to the 13. have you emailed Pilar yet? I can email you their Wedding Book when I get home from work if someone has not already sent it to you......

I got my final quote to sign from Pilar the other day.......I emailed her to change a few things and im waiting to see what the new quote says (she normally gets back to me on mondays and wednesdays) Has anyone else got to this point yet? Im getting nervous things are getting set in stone and I wont be able to change details once i get there if I deside to.........

I thought about bringing my own bows for the chairs but i didnt know if they were going to charge me to put them on. I emailed Pilar to see how much it would cost to do the ceremony set up like the picture with the orange bows and the canopy so ill let you guys know when she emails me back......next week sometime im sure:)

Ok ladies what is everyone choosing for the ceremony set up?? the divine package comes with white covered chairs and a white table but thats all. All the pictures they show have many upgrades........ I really like the picture with the canopy and the orange bows on the chairs!! A emailed Pilar to see what the charge will be so we will see. Has anyone made any upgrades to the ceremony sight yet?

Yes I am having my wedding at the Jade Feb 11, 2011 we have booked the date and now are in the process of working out all the details. there is another thread a bit farther down if you want to check it out, but let me know if you have any questions!

The Blue Beach Bar is just down a level from the Pergola. I have pic's I will post when my fiance gets home with the camera. Thanks for the pictures!! I think I am going to switch to the festival terrace.....we are having about 20-25 people

I have a TA as well but she is only handeling the hotel and air bookings. I stated my comunication with Pilar through my TA but Pilar wanted to deal directly with the bride because there are so many little details you need to work out and going through the third person is tuff. My wedding is Fed 2011 and I have given the deposit to the hotel so I deffinetly have the date and wedding location reserved, now its just time to choose all the little details. I want to start counting down the days but its well over 200 lol

Quote: Originally Posted by lisadias Future MrsHolt I was told by Pillar that only a group of more than 50 can have buffet so you should be fine to go with that option. I chose the pergola for the wedding, blue beach bar for the cocktails and so far the pergola for dinner also. i never really got a good picture of the yellow room. It was very blurry and dark and i couldn't see outside. Could you send me a pic of the yellow room. I am getting married April 26th so i will be able to give you some feedback after my wedding that will hopefully help with the last minute planning. I'll be sure to take alot of pics. Does anyone know the name of the photographer that the resort is using? they use a guy named Fernando at Positive Photos. Here is the website: Fotógrafos especializados bodas sesiones books | Positive Photo Studio I have chosen to bring my own photographer. I found it difficult to change or up grade from the 20 photos.
