Nicole said only $100 as long as they don't stay all day long. I emailed FF about renting white tablecloths, she said the resort should provide them. I just want to be sure the ones the resort provides goes to the floor. It looks silly to me if they don't. FF said they could get my runners for me, so I think they can supply most anything you need. I didn't ask about a tent or dance floor though as I don't need one. FF is quick to respond and VERY friendly! I'd gather all of your ideas into one email and get in touch with them. The longest I've waited for a response was 1 day. I also e-mailed TF back in August. I just got an email from Jodi apologizing, saying she'll answer my questions in another e-mail.. which I have not gotten...

When I was there in May you could get pretty much anything you wanted. As for the reception, you pay for it (as with everything else) and it's not as much variety as they have at the regular bar. The international bar menu for the reception had absolut, smirnoff and stoli on it, but I'm pretty sure they had grey goose at the regular bars. No patron though that I saw.

I have an email out to Chantal at FF. I am bringing table runners with me, but have no room for tablecloths. I'll let you know. That's what I was saying, I got the same response from Nicole about it being 29 cm high. That would mean the table was a foot high. I'm sure Nicole meant inches.

I also got this response today, 29 cm is like a foot haha. I'm sure she meant inches. Anyone renting tablecloths from their florist?

Hey Ladies, do any of you know if the tablecloth goes to the ground for the round tables at the reception. In pictures I've seen of regular dining they don't. I don't want to bother Nicole if someone here can answer this.

Stunning!!!!! Your other dress was beautiful, but this dress is amazing on you!!! Your FI is going to love it!!! Did you tell him you got a different dress?

After reading the posts the last few weeks, I have noticed a lot of dress regret. There are so many gorgeous dresses on this thread, but am I the only one who still absolutely 100% love love loves the dress I picked out?! I haven't had any regret and there are some pretty amazing choices on here! Anyway, all of you ladies 2nd guessing your 1st choice... put it back on and hopefully all of those wonderful emotions will come rushing back!

Nicole responded to an email this weekend and in it she said the new pricing will be available in November. They should have a sticky with all of this information on it. It'd make their life much easier!! I can't imagine how many emails they get a day all asking the same questions.

I don't know what you've decided, but I'm using SunGold's Associates (Clayton is our photographer) for our pictures. They do hourly pricing also. The pricing sheet I have is $400 per hour and includes a DVD so you can print them at home. Even if you did 3 hours that would be less than $1500. We have a 3 session package, so we did engagemnt pictures with Clayton in May. They came out beautiful!! And he was so much FUN to work with!! You could even budget and do a 2 hr session with him for $800. I can get you his info if you'd be interested.

We went for a site visit last May, and they took our pictures on the beach. (they walk around all day taking them and you can go to their office to purchase) I refused to buy even one of them. They were definitely overpriced and very low quality. My only advice to you, your day will go so quick you won't remember half of it... is the gamble worth not getting quality pictures?

I haven't tried calling Nicole, but I may have to soon... I need some things finalized for our invites. I know they are busy but a month wait for an email response is a little much. I did see they have plantation chairs!! I asked about chiavari chairs, and she sent me pictures of those. I agree, they are very cute for the beach!!! I have almost everything finalized with her in less than a week. I'm shocked, but very happy! I just want to cross it off my list! It will obviously depend on the amount of tables as well but at least I have pricing! And they don't respond to everything by saying, "these prices may change" Side note....I also picked out my wedding band today!!! So excited, I can't wait to wear the bling!!!

Love it! I love Maggie dresses, I had no problems choosing one. Is it heavy? and is that a belt or is it part of the dress?

The travel fee is $30 from Negril to the Suites, and even if I have to pay $200 for vendors, their prices are MUCH better than TaiFlora. I refuse to wait 2 months for a reply when I'm spending over $3,000 at your business (for freaking flowers!!). I think its rude and unprofessional. If they are so busy, they should not be monopolizing the Iberostar resorts. On a better note, Chantal is doing a great job so far at Floral Fantasies!!! As long as my flowers don't arrive dead I don't see having a problem with them at all! Everything I've sent her, she's priced and sent pictures of examples within hours.

I've been in touch with Floral Fantasies, they said they are welcomed onto the property to set up but they believe the Bride pays the vendor fee. I have an email to Nicole to find out. Either way, I sent an e-mail to TaiFlora August 29 and made 2 phone calls and still have not heard anything. Floral Fantasies is quick to respond, so the vendor fee is well worth it to me!

How much was this printer? I'm in need of a new (good) printer, but idk if I can justify to my FI that I need it for invites haha

I found it, its style LR145... I think the girls are leaning towards strapless... but that dress is super cute! I'd try ebay but I need 4 of the same dresses in several sizes and I doubt that's going to happen! My girls haven't said anything about price, but I'd rather keep it lower if I can. Anyone familiar with DB's "sangria" I think it may be darker than persian plum but if the dress is 1/3 of the price, I might look there instead.

I'm also doing Persian Plum!! I'm obsessed with Dessy!! Did you check out their style boards? I'm going with my bridal party tomorrow to try on dresses. I can't wait to pick one!! There's so many styles I like online! We are definitely doing short, but I agree with you they are EXPENSIVE! $150 is on the real low end.. most of the ones I saw are $250-$300. I fell in love with the color and haven't come across another designer that has the same option (and I have looked high and low!!) I wonder what that dress would look like without the flower.... what style # is it?
