Sent you a PM =)

For what seems like years I have stalked this thread and now its my turn to finally post my dress!!  I had my first fitting on Saturday, here is a pic of my Pnina Tornai gown =) The back is the real WOW factor but unfortunately I only have a picture of it already bustled =( Its enough to give you an idea. So excited and my big day is exactly 3 months from today!!

Finally got my shoes and I am also IN LOVE! They match by dress perfectly since the the bottom portion of my dress has similar rose type detailing!! Love them =)

Guys I have my first fitting today!!!! Ahhh I'm so excited!! Hope I still love it, keep you all posted

Sigh I am also flying out of NY/NJ area for our upcoming May Wedding (apparently was off peak) and they are nearly $600 roundtrip and thats connecting. I am so sad and just dont know what to do as many people are thinking of getting a refund on their hotel accomodations because they cant afford to fly there. I just dont know what to do, they ask do I think fares will go down and  I wish I knew =(

I just dont know what to do

Wow thats awesome!! I am calling her now!

My fiance and I would like to pay for the transportation for our guests to get from the airport to our resort as most are arriving on the same flight.  When we visited last February, there are a zillion guys as you arrive at the airport that provide this service. Has anyone made any good contacts with a local company? It's such a competitve service that I just know we can find it a lot cheaper than going through the TA.

Thank!

Theebee what seller on DH did you use?

The extras definetly add up without a doubt. How many sashes are you doing on the chairs, I recently confirmed with Susanna that they do not charge for the second colored sash, unless you are doing 3 colors in that case there may be an additional fee.

The DJ is kicking my butt, that was the one thing I didnt really anticipate, its double what I budgeted for. I bought colored linen napkins for $0.50 each as opposed to the resort fee of $3.00. So there are ways to cut costs. I also am doing centerpieces from the resort for $30 a table which is a lot more reasonable then the outrageous ellaborate floral arrangements they send over. After thinking about the supplies and traveling with all the stuff to make my own centerpieces this $30 per table was more cost effective.

Oh and for those whom are doing OOT bags, I just ordered a ton of chapsticks from this vendor for $0.29 each and have made my own personalized labels to wrap around the tubes. Oh and I found individually wrapped packets of Pepto for $16 for 25 packs at WB Mason.

This is the Allure gown...Sure hope Babyonline doesnt let me down. At the very least its for my TTD gown so not too concerned either way should be good =)

I just ordered my TTD dress from Babyonline, its an Allure knockoff. I will keep you all posted as I get mid-production pictures in!! Ahhh I am so excited

Ladies I just ordered my TTD dress from Babyonline.  I am sooo excited to receive mid-production pictures, I will keep everyone posted. Here is the actual dress is an Allure knockoff.

FYI Guys:

Please be informed that for bridesmaid bouquet the price is $30usd each and for boutonnieres $20usd each, also be informed that it could be the same as your bouquet but smaller.

Please find some pictures attached.

* PM your email address if you're interested in the pictures.

Thanks!

Ladies, does anyone have prices for flowers for the bridal party? Ie: bridesmaids bouquets and boutonnieres? And any pictures if they have sent you any.

Gracias =)

I am interested in the chapsticks...will send you a PM. Thanks!

Any pics from the DH gate dresses?

Brownskingirl: Any pics of you in your dress? I am curious to see where it falls in the front...as far as length.

Thanks for watching it guys!! It was definetly an experience, they have just confirmed that they will be flying out to DR to cover the wedding!! Super exciting and that of course will air Jan 2014.

Thanks for the extra lists ladies. Curls if possible can you chime in on your dinner choices and what you thought of them? What was the consensus amoung your guests did most do chicken/steak/fish (if you gave the option of course) ?

I didnt realize they were charging extra for the second chair sash color, I was for sure that Susana said that was no extra fee? And just so that you guys know when I made my deposit well over a year ago I had them add to my invoice the DJ service, Cocktail hour and of course the package. The DJ was added at $488 for the 3 hours, clearly it has since gone up to $708 and they wont honor my price on the invoice. So %(&*#(*$ mad about it...she responds with a cut and paste of the tiny print that says "Prices subject to change WITHOUT NOTICE". Ugh! How the fk are you able to budget when prices continue to change?! Super tight about this right now!

Finally got my message in a bottle invites in!! And I am soo excited about them and cant wait to get them in the mail!!! Printed on aged parchment paper with burnt edges on the invites, response cards and bottle labels. The bottles have sand and seashells in them and raffia is wrapped around the top of each. They will be in shipped in brown boxes that will look like suitcases. =)

Thanks Natalie...ironically last year I had them add the service to my invoice and it said $488 so they have to honor that or else I will go ape shit on them LOL. Anyway I finally got my MIB invites in last night and I am pumped about em. Cant wait for our guests to receive them! I know this isnt the thread for them but had to share =) Invites were printed on aged parchment paper with burnt edges on both invites, response cards and bottle labels. Sand, seashells in the bottle in cute boxes that I will wrap to replicate a suitcase =)

Can you someone please clear up this DJ confusion for me before I loose my mind?!

So what they consider a basic DJ package includes: A DJ and all the equipment the full DJ package includes DJ, MC, lights and some fire thing.

What exactly are the fire things that come with the full package?

What exactly does the DJ do for the basic package? Is he there just too look cute? I mean what is his purpose? Does he change the songs and actually DJ and just doesnt speak? Will he not announce us as we walk in?

There is nearly a $500 plus difference in the 2 packages and I need to understand what that is for. What I gather is that its for the lights, fire things and for the DJ to speak...since I suspect in the basic package he doesnt talk? LOL

We are doing an AHR for 125 people. We are traveling from 5/16-5/23 and our AHR is 6/15 which is way too close. Big mistake on my part as I feel a bit stressed thinking we have such little time to finish last minute things up for the CT celebration. 90% needs to be done before we leave for DR. Biggest piece of advice....give yourself enough time from the time you return until the AHR!

I am interested in the orange napkins...sent you a PM.  When you respond can you also include shipping to 06610
