@@TinkerSofi we do actually have a travel agent - one that we worked with for our wedding and she was great!! After saying that though I dumped her last week and found a new one today that is great!! He gave me the email to contact AF directly. He had a ton of good things to say about the resort as well, but he did say that he was aware of just double beds. He did say that he was aware of new building so to check with them directly as to what's available. Even with a low cost to upgrade, I have a hard time asking people to pay a huge sum when it isn't our wedding. Doug and I, ok but not anyone else. We're watching prices and they actually have gone down but one category actually went up. We'll just have to see. I'd like to stay with this resort after all the research work I've done and also really like everything about it. But this thing with double beds will very likely be a deal breaker.

OK AF ladies. Question for you. I just found out that the deluxe rooms are 2 double beds. You only get king beds when you get into the one bedroom suites. is anyone else having an issue with this? Hubby and I are definitely thinking one bedroom but I'm not asking friends to pay that but I don't want to give them 2 doubles as their only option. I was sure I read somewhere that they were either converting rooms or making new ones that have king beds. Am I losing my mind? This will totally rule out this resort if 2 doubles is the only option. Thanks for whatever info you've got!!

Painting Flowers?
acw271011 replied to vancouverpetunia's topic in Wedding Flowers, decoration, cake, etc.
it's a special floral spray almost like a paint, that colours the flowers. You wouldn't know as calgarybride2015 said that the colour isn't really what the spray colour is. They do it here too. If I remember I think I had a spray colour in my flowers as well. I'll go back and take a look. Just be sure you're dealing with someone reputable. I do remember someone back when we were doing our wedding that had her flowers sprayed a specific colour and it did come off on her dress. I have no idea why because I have never heard of that ever. I think they have to be sprayed a certain amount of time in advance. I don't even remember which bride it was back then. I've never heard of it since then either but it was blue. that much I do remember. I wouldn't worry though to be honest. I think any of the resorts, if that was to happen, would take care of it pretty quickly.- 4 replies

Your resort should give you the choice of the type of ceremony you want. They usually do because everyone's tastes are different. Definitely contact your wedding planner and ask. We absolutely had the choice when we got married in Jamaica, plus for our renewal we have the choice of how we would like the ceremony. I don't think I've seen anyone here that hasn't had some kind of choice of how much religion they want built in to their ceremony. there are even resorts with Catholic chapels onsite. Your WC is the best person to ask. They should also be able to give you an outline of how the ceremony will run, and you should have input into it. There are several brides to be here that are writing vows so it's definitely an option.

Pinata At The Reception?
acw271011 replied to veryvalentine's topic in Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos
That looks like such a cool idea!!! And you're right about the colours! They show up so well in the photo. If you had a smaller group of guests I think it would be great. not sure if you had a really large group if it would work as well?? But it's definitely something in keeping with the culture!! I hope you let us know what you decide!!- 8 replies

@@beckys98 So did you decide to keep the turquoise ones? I like them and I thought it would be a good colour to match what hubby is wearing. But I really would like a bright blue pair. @tinkersofi I love number 1 but yeah, I'm worried about the heel height. that's why I was asking you about yours. I have lousy knees - a consequence of wearing 4 inch heels when I was a WHOLE lot younger, and arthritis - so heels and I really just do not get along. having said that, every once in a while I find a pair with a heel that are just so totally comfortable, they break in easily and I can wear them with no problem. I had beautiful high sandals when I got married. loved them!! they're still in my closet 4 years later. I lasted about an hour with them on then I went to flip flops and wore those for most of the rest of the day while we did pictures. I switched back to the heels for dinner then back to the flip flops again. I really would like to find a blue pair that I can wear for as much of the day as possible.

Ok so I've led a very sheltered life..... lmao so I have the really DUMB questions! What are JoJo Blings and what are Chinese laundry sandals? I love the guys in the vest and pants, and hubby in the suit looks super sexy! Just what I want Doug in. BUT did he find he was really warm in it???? That's my biggest worry. My husband is a guy that is hot, and I don't mean just sexy (in my eyes anyway) but he feels the heat big time. I'm really worried that I'm going to torture him being in 3 pcs, even sweat resistant shirts and summer weight suit. Was your husband ok in the sun? The girls looked gorgeous with the colour and the flowers are beautiful!

Thank you. That's really nice. I look back at the last 3 and a half years and sometimes I wonder why things have gone the way they have. Ours is not to question why.... I know that and everything happens for a reason, but there are days that I can't help but wonder what the reason is. They're all Nina shoes, but just not from the Nordstrom site. They're right from the Nina site. That's good to know about the blue like yours. I totally LOVE the style - they're gorgeous, but yeah I was thinking the blue was lighter than what I wanted. Good to know it's brighter. I do like the colour in number 1 but the lower heel is what I liked about the other two. I'm a total shoe slut lol so I would quite happily take them all but Doug would have a fit!!! For Mexico, he's already asking me how many of my 25 pairs of flip flops I'm taking!!! And I'm already eyeing up what's out for this year!!!

Yay for the Pink!!! Oh and I love the blue. They're super cute!!! I found one pair I really like but they don't have my size so I've put it on a flag if they do come along. I had cups sewn into my dress because I didn't want to wear a full bra when we got married and it worked out perfectly. They didn't look fake at all thank fully. The seamstress stitched them right into the dress. I definitely don't need cleavage unfortunately (less is definitely more!! lol) so I wasn't too worried about that, but Victoria Secret has some really nice strapless bras with push up, and with the new lighter fabrics they have, you could take a look and see how hot they might be, but I don't think they would be.

Right. time to get help again please. Shoes. I knew I wanted blue. The question is what colour of blue. Thanks to @@TinkerSofi the question of shoes has come to the forefront and she has fabulous taste!! lol So - here are a couple that I'm looking at: What do you think? Oh then there's also the blue ones the same as @@TinkerSofi 's pink ones, which are super, super gorgeous!!
