This is an amazing thread and I am so thankful I found it. It helps to see I'm not alone. I honestly have no idea how big my wedding will be when everything is all said and done. It's hard to gauge especially since airfare is not out yet for April 2012, but we have been more positive rather than negative responses from our friends and I can't wait to celebrate our marriage with them. It will be an amazing experience, and it is being made even more amazing by you all.

Blush Pink and Orange, and my theme is casual beach elegance. It's a DW so it will be beautiful and fun and amazing, but it's also the biggest day in our lives and I want to celebrate it with the elegance of a Black Tie affair without all the stuffiness that goes along with it. I want everyone to think it's grand but not pay a grand price for it

I've had my tears already too, and we haven't officially picked a date yet. It's so great to know that I am not alone in my DW struggles. I was so worried that my dad would say no, and that I think would have done me in. I have a small family of 8 total and 6 are my brother and his family. My SIL told me flat out that it isn't going to happen and my brother is willing to do anything to make it work even if it is only for a few days. I just wish they would know where the other is coming from because the emotional roller coaster I think will drive me crazy. I've accepted that they probably won't be there not with 4 kids and 2 adults, and I knew that when I chose to have a DW, but I don't want to feel guilty for wanting to be with the people that matter the most to us for longer than 5 minutes of chatting at a table, and not remembering those 5 minutes...

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure = George Carlin

We got engaged after 5 years, and will be married 4 months before our 7 year anniversary.

X Men Origins Wolverwine = Ryan Reynolds

I'll be in that area April 2012 as well, just have to confirm the dates. We have to put down the deposit which is what is holding up the confirmation since we've only been planning the DW for sure for about 2 weeks

Welcome and happy planning!

I can't post pics yet, but if you go to my profile and my albums my FSIL got married at the Beach Palace in October and there is a pic of her complimentary bouquet. I will say this, her wedding was amazingly beautiful and they did not upgrade it at all.

Me too, I hope to incorporate that somehow in to our wedding festivities

everyone's flowers and ideas are beautiful. I am working on my inspiration board and I love being inspired by all of you

Welcome Natalie, you will love this place. It has been such an awesome and welcoming place for new Destination Brides. I hope you have the most amazing wedding.

Yes everything for their wedding was complimentary, they didn't upgrade anything.

Beautiful.

I know The Knot has inspiration boards etc, but there really isn't a lot of options except for dresses and flowers etc...is there other websites out there that offer more options and ideas for stationery hairstyles all the extras too?
