Brandy

I know mederma makes something, the same people who make the stuff to eliminate scars, I havent tried it just yet, Im only trying palmers cocoa butter at the time bc it was cheaper, its helped some, but once I get closer to the date Im going to get the mederma brand. Heres a link to read up on it. http://www.mederma.com/products/stretch_marks

Love it!! You were such a gorgeous bride! Congrats!!!!!

Your welcome! Thats good that you have that many guests, you will get a lot of freebies and upgrades with that many guests/rooms booked! Yes everything will get better once you make all the big decisions its a piece of cake after that! I have heard great things about Shenique, she does amazing hair and makeup! We already sprung for one outside vendor so I opted to just go with beaches doing my hair and makeup, I would highly recommend TI as well, they are doing 2 shoots for us, your idea of a honeymoon shoot with them sounds like a great idea, I would def book some sort of session with them so you can leave there with some amazing photos! Have you checked out their website? That is true you dont have to decorate all the tables in the theme, they will just do basic white linens and china etc...

Heres the Beaches T&C forum, you should come join us on there, there are a lot of girls getting married there, they may also be able to answer your questions about a DJ and dancefloor http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/65487/beaches-turks-caicos-roll-call/130#post_1492616

I know exactly how you feel right now, thats how I felt when it all started! I also wanted the island paradise theme but couldnt justify paying $6000 for it. When Monica calls, shell pretty much walk you through everything, and go through everything you can "add on", and go through any changes you may want to make. You also dont have to book anything right away if your not ready, just let her know you will get back with her on it. We booked our theme right away with her and if you book you theme during that phone call your required to put down 50%, and shell book any other things your ready to book like hair appt., entertainment, photography etc.... I didnt book any hair appt. yet bc Im not sure what package I want yet, we didnt book the entertainment yet bc I was also unsure on that one, but at the moment we are leaning towards a calypso band, she will answer any questions you have though, I dont know much about what you want witht he DJ and dance floor, but I havent seen anywhere in the books an option for a dance floor but I would def make sure you ask her. How many guests do you think you will have? Did you sign the wedding/group contract yet?

Yeah they can do something near the beach, with a beach view, they just can do it on the actual beach in the sand.

So I want to get these shoes for our AHR but Im so stuck on what color to get, please help me out ladies.... They come in ivory and white, my dress is technically ivory but in my opinion its more on the white side, but then my other thoughts were do the ivory shoes match the band more!?!?!? Confused...

Tris you mom (gotta love mommas) is totally right, shes missing out, and you guys are going to have a wonderful time!!!

I love it tris!! I had been looking at her garters as well, she has some really great stuff!

Yes, this is perfect timing for us april brides, hopefully it all works out

Teira, I think it would look great! You dont wanna be too matchy matchy, my bouquet is orchids, but Im not putting an orchid in my hair, and think you wont be carrying around that bouquet all day so get whatever you like best and whatever one looks best with your dress. I think since they are both pink it looks great without it being a matching flower.

ooh yeah count me in on BL 11!!

And the TTD!!! Im speechless absolutely amazing Janine! I know you have got to be soooo excited about your pics!! congrats girl!!

Im really sorry to hear that Tris!! I completely understand where your coming from, I would probably feel the same as you do right now.

Oh- My- Goodness Janine!!!! Finally, I have been checking everyday! Your photos are fabulous!!!! And you were absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!

Very pretty!!!!

OMG that is so cute!!!!

Vlynnw what color are you doing for your shoes?
