They damn near cost almost the same amount as some real flowers/resort prices lol. But I was impressed. So that's where I got the idea of possibly having silk flowers versus real flowers. They photograph so nicely. I think i might be able to pull it off. MrsD you live close by... we could do it in a weekend!!! lol So my task now is to find these flowers, buy them in bulk possibly and try to do pomanders. OMG! So beautiful! Love the colors!!! My colors are Coral and Turquoise and this would be perfect! So many things to do and consider! I am up for meeting up sometime, I'm training for the marathon so my weekends are occupied with long training runs but I'm sure we can figure something out or wait until after Nov 3rd lol

Plus I plan to go on my honeymoon afterwards... so I'll likely have to send my stuff back with family. Which could be tricky. I'm just invisioning things getting stuck and lost in customs.... Speaking of customs, how are you guys transporting the stuff in the OOT bags. I think I might have read about there being limits on the number of things you can bring, and declaring it beforehand... that's just annoying. So I've been on this website for today and i learned two things. Thing 1: I'm not using real flowers for my wedding. i just disovered real touch silk flowers and they look like the real thing. Since I receive a free bouquet... everyone else is getting silk flowers. Thing 2: I think I want to create some pomanders to decorate the ceremony space. I'm totally not the DIY type... but I look at pictures and I get sooooooooo excited! IDK if I could actually do it. but I wanna try. Well if you just put it in your luggage then technically you aren't checking it in but you can also have family members take stuff for you in order to space it out! Did you find somewhere for the silk flower? I'm using them for my centerpieces as well but don't know where to look I'm not DIY either - I need an entourage lol

But now that I've seen what they can do, I am torn. But $1800 is a lot. I mean yes it looks awesome but who is going to look up while you party lol, in my opinion I rather pay for an extra hour of DJ and drinking lol

Quote: Originally Posted by JenniferM Someone said that you can purchase the 150 post level for $30 but I'm not sure where that is. Once I get the update I'll post on here. That way if you don't have enough time to post before the date you can still access all the templates and stuff. Here it is: I don't think it's worth it unless you waited until last minute to plan, you can also get info by having the person email you the templates or any other info http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/a/become-a-best-destination-wedding-supporter

Quote: Originally Posted by tricia-m It's soooo pretty! haha. But you are completely right, the destination wedding that I thought I would be saving more is ending up be more than I expected! Haha. Well if you get the Tangerine package I was told the draping is included as well as Bar Higuey and small centerpieces

Quote: Originally Posted by samantha2 Thank you so much! I didn't think there was any way possible that HDC could be cheaper especially with the "vendor fee" that the resort makes you pay. However now I am pretty sure that I agree it is a better deal! Think I might just need to investigate this further! Yeah you should! If I didn't have a local photo/video family friend who does this then I would've looked into hiring HDC regardless - they just give you so much more.

Quote: Originally Posted by MrsPeele2B I see a groupon for vistaprint for $15 for $45 worth of custom printing... Sounds like a good deal right? oh crap! I just remembered I bought one a month ago and it expires next month lol ($17 for $70 worth of stuff) Thanks for the heads up

I thought you were going to get your brother to do it? And congrats! You reached your 150!!!! Will do when I get them, my brother is designing it for me but we are looking for ideas on what looks cute and color schemes. Everything looks different on paper, know what I mean? Yay 151! lol

Quote: Originally Posted by tricia-m What beautiful colors! My colors are yellow and grey. I've been a slave to pinterest. I am attempting to recreate a vintage rustic theme on a beach haha. If that makes sense. I never knew you of those invitation options. I will look once we get to that stage. I am still focusing on my save the dates. I have a friend who has the same colors but is marrying in NY, I saw some girl on this site with same wedding theme. I find her wedding i will send you the pictures. Really pretty! Check out dawn's invitations, They offer free samples for save the dates too. I order some lol

Quote: Originally Posted by MissJali So Im not sure if they make the menus for you so I'm making my own. One thing is that a past bride told me. it is a choice between soup and salad. Either or, not both. What have you heard? Well I'm going to look at Vistaprint to make the menus. You are right it's Soup or Salad, Entree and dessert ... it's extra if you choose 2 of anything. I want to put it on a card but don't know where to look for ideas
