Hi @lucydanny. The pics are from Claudia from the WBA Studio there at the resort (included in the Divine wedding package) and Danny did my Wedding Video from the same studio which we paid extra for the additional time we added for the reception. I actually hired my own Photographer Phil Steingard for our entire wedding ceremony and reception and he was amazing. :-) Our photos are suppose to arrive this week from him. He is located in Canada and goes down to Punta Cana every November for Destination Weddings. He also did a Trash the Dress photo shoot that was soooo much fun!!! We took around 2,000 pictures if I remember correctly between wedding and trash the dress!!!

@lucydanny Thank you. The pictures I posted are actually from the resort photographer that came with my Divine wedding package she did an amazaing job aswell. Her name was Claudia from WBA Studios located there at the resort http://wbastudio.com/now/weddings/ ; however, I actually hired my own photographer Phil Steingard from Canada http://www.steingardstudios.com/ I also used Danny from WBA studios to do my my wedding video and he was AMAZING! Did an amazing JOB! I am waiting on my photos from Phil to come i nto post those. I have more picures from Claudia to post as well. :=-)

No Prob :-) We did not have to pay extrea for the Eclipse during cocktail hour it was available and was the wedding coordinators who actually suggested using the location since it was so hot and humid outside even though it was 5 pm. :-) The flowers balls or Pomanders actually came with out package :-) I just told the Francina, our coordinator, I want these colors, Coral, Fuchsia and hint of white mixed with tropical flowers including roses, lilies etc and the resort made them to their liking and I loved them. I sent her pictures of what I liked. ORchids are the most expensive which were actually floating in the glass of our center pieices but we brought the silk Orchids which we purchased from Jo-Ann Fabrics, The rest were all natural flowers made by the resort and they also included the lighted floating LED lights. We also brought the Stemmed lights that came out of the centerpieces made by David Tutera (Jo-ann Fabrics). I will get a pic of Centerpieces and also put up online. :-) FYI the cake...I had a 4 tier cake due to the large amount of guests...IT IS HOT and HUMID outside my cake melted allover the place with the edible starfish I actually flew in from Florida that were mandmade :-( it looked beautiful at the beginning but a mess at the end because they kept sliding off etc...so be careful on your cake choices!!!

Additionally, for our welcome bags we did a personalized small tote that said the below and filled with personalized and beach themed bottle opener key chain, lip balm, Koozie, pens, lotion, hand sanitizer, candles, playing cards, frisbees, and added kid items for those who brought chidlren. I ordered the koozies, luggage tags, pens, and tote welcome bags from discountmugs.com

Hi Ladies. Here are some additional pictures of the wedding. I will have some more later tonight or tomorrow. I will also have my Pro-photographers pictures hopefully this week!!! @chrisdeluca I have ordered from Etsy, the flower girl dresses are made from Etsy...see the one my Niece is wearing below:-) The sign she is carrying is an idea from Etsy we actually made ourselves and they are also reversible...The Starfish boutonniere My dad, groom, ringbearers, and groomsmen are wearing were also custom made from Etsy.

Good evening Ladies :-). I just joined bestdestinationwedding.com although I have been following since before my wedding at Now Larimar on 11/2/2012 :-) I did not join sooner because I did not want to stress myself out with another blog, conversation, etc LOL...however, I will say our wedding went amazing. We had a little over 90 guests attend and fly in from the US, Ecuador, and Spain...Hurricane Sandy played a major role of my NY, NJ, and MA guests but we did get them all situated and rescheduled. My Ceremony was at the Fountain, our Cocktail hour was at the Eclipse Noght Club/Lounge, and we rented Castaways for the Reception until I beilieve 11:30 pm. I do have some pictures available to share as well as some on Pinterest. I am waiting on my main Photographer to send me all of them professional ones although I have the ones the resort photographer gave me :-). If you have any questions please feel free to ask and let me know if you would like me to post any pictures. :-). I also did take a lot of my own things for wedding favors, welcome bags, and part of the centerpieices :-)
