I love creme brulee Are you have a menu for your wedding, like on each plate? (since everyone might be/is eating the same thing?)

I would like to have more coverage and more pictures than what TP is offering but without the crazy pricing that TP charges. That's something you might have to ask your WC but be stern about it - I don't know what the minimum stay is and will it be cost effective for you?

But it's all ideas at this point. Well my colors are Turquoise and Coral, beach theme all the way - SO what will help you is I started going on sites and getting free samples of invitations and that has helped my ideas come together. Check out davids bridal, wedding wire, dawns invitations etc wherever it says free go for it and you can get a taste of what you like and don't like

Quote: Originally Posted by NettyD Hi Ladies I read a bit of buzz on here about HDC photography. I may have missed it but does anyone have their rates? Thank you! Send me your email and I can give you their rates, well what I have for HDC but the thing is that BBPD won't let you use them unless you pay the fee of $1000 for them being an outside vendor -

Soonmrsd I'm from NY and they are from the same area, the owner is my brother's good friend so I offered a free 3 night stay plus airfare in exchange for photos and video and he said YES!

My graphic designer is working on them as soon as I get a sample, I will upload a sample as soon as I get it. Ok mine will go out 9 months prior but through word of mouth alot of people know lol My brother is my graphic designer, maybe I should start working on it haha ... yes I would love to see it

The only thing I can think of is getting a tripod/stand for a camcorder and have someone do it for you if you want to save some $$$

Quote: Originally Posted by minigodiva Yea, it is an extra cost. Well, at least you'll get to see his family. As my mom says, "the more the merrier!" And you're lucky with the photography. Right now, that's what I'm looking into. Either bring someone or use Tropical. Well figure out the cost of the flight and min 3 night stay for 2 and look at that versus Tropical Pictures. Their packages are so expensive and I heard good things about them but you only get a certain amount of pictures and time and I'm so OCD with making sure everything flows that putting me on a time constraint will make me Bridezilla, guaranteed. At least with the guys I'm flying over they will do as I please lol - or my brother will give them orders for me (they are good friends) lol lol

Thank you for replying! OMG!!!! I thought our 500 fee was high but 1000, sheesh. These resorts do their darndest to keep all the money in house. My finace and I chose the complimentary package at our resort and I wanted to bring in our own sashes (for the chairs) and line the aisle with luminaries but I was told it would be an additional 200. Needless to say I scrapped that idea. I was happy to know I can have programs and fans placed on our guest’s seat with no additional charge. I am good at saying no, it's all about having fun and eating and drinking, minor details don't bother me, it's just the extra charges that drive me crazy lol Yeah I'm bringing my own centerpieces and flower petals for the aisle. I want programs and fans so I have to see how to work that in, that's a nice perk.

It's funny you mentioned being scared of the number of people that will come. I'm the same. I really wanted the pier, but Susana told me only 50 people can fit (it's really 55), but then we kept adding people to our guestlist, I'm almost hoping people will decline. haha. Well the chillout terrace is $500/hour which is what we wanted as cocktail hour, if we have it. Plus per person, it just gets so expensive all of a sudden lol.................For the welcome party, you have to pay as well unless it's like 20 people then they can just make reservations. Girl I will be happy with 50 people but his family is dominican and well it's alot of them lol .... I love them so we'll see next month when we send the save the dates lol

Quote: Originally Posted by MissJali what are you going to use?

Tropical is so limited and I was getting frustrated like you and thought about this plan and my brother is backing me up so so far they accepted and I will get all my pictures, not a certain amount and certain time. Since they are staying as my guests then I don't have to pay any fee because they are part of my wedding regardless and them being professionals is just a perk!

Quote: Originally Posted by TuffLuv SoonMrsD, I'm not sure what resort you're getting married at but at HRPC there is a 500 off site vendor fee. It may be different depending on your resort. Hope this helps. Yeah I found out that I would have to pay $1000 outside vendor fee to have them at my wedding which is ridiculous!!!! Thank you for replying!

Quote: Originally Posted by moodyc82 There's a TON of interesting stuff on the free/sell section, you should def look Quote: Originally Posted by shugapop1 Omg! There are tons od coral and turquoise items. That's probably the biggest sales color ij sales section Thanks ladies I'm not big into the decorations but if it will help and add to my day I'm all for it! Is there a link or how would I get to that section or free/sell? Thank you in advance!
