Beautiful!

You'll get there!

I contact Laura through this email address: [email protected]. We’re over budget too! Honestly, I have to say I’m a little frustrated! If I’d known this wedding was going to cost this much I would’ve waited another year to save! And to top it all off we have to pay in USD not CDN which makes a difference for us Canadian couples! I apologize in advance for the below rant….. Note ladies – WE HAVE TO USE TAI FLORA! The reviews on here for Tai Flora ARE NOT GREAT! And to top that I just got the flower quote! IT”S CRAZY! $600 for medium rose coverage for the wedding aisle. WHAT? I happened to come across Jan’s Flowers Catalog because I was looking for a cake vendor – wish I hadn’t because Jan’s flowers prices are so much cheaper!!! I got a quote for a small vase of roses and hydrangeas – small for the cocktail tables - $80 with Tai Flora. In Jan’s Flowers Catalog, the exact same arrangement is $30….. Jan’s Flowers Chiavari chairs are $7 each – Tai Flora is $10 each! Chuppah with white draping in Jan’s flowers $250 – Tai Flora is $466! Gah! I’m just so sad I HAVE to use her! Especially since the reviews on here are SO BAD for Tai Flora! Tai Flora quoted me $200 for my bridal bouquet – my lord I honestly didn’t think it would be that much ESPECIALLY SINCE MY BOUQUET IS INCLUDED WITH MY WEDDING PACKAGE! I mean they’re charging what a florist in Canada would charge for flowers! I emailed Laura a LONG email yesterday requesting more quotes….I told her Jan’s flowers has a full catalog with prices and that it would be so much easier if Tai Flora had prices in her catalog too! I also looked up tropical flowers in hopes that I can bring this cost down…you ladies should see this email I sent Laura – it’s massive! But I told her I can’t make a decision without pricing! I mean, shouldn’t they help us!? I asked Laura to ask the florist to give me suggestions on flowers to bring the cost down! Sorry for all the caps ladies – I’m just shocked and confused! Feel like the Royalton is making a BIG cut of this wedding – Tai Flora better be worth it! Sorry again for the caps and frustration! I can’t even stress how jailed I feel that we have to use Tai Flora! Good luck ladies! Pam

Hey ladies! This is my 150th post! Hooray! lol

Yay!

ohhhh you're almost there!

Yes! I'm getting there today!

4 more to go!

I'm getting there today!

I'm almost there! <3

Beautiful dress!

Thanks for sharing bridetobe771! It honestly is an awesome deal with the steel drum band and reggae band included!

Awww I can't! Only my sister and mom have seen it! It'll be a surprise for everyone else! <3

YAY! Thanks MTM

Only a few more to go!

No prob! Sunwing is a Canadian airline and tour operator...they actually own Royalton White Sands. I think it's the first hotel they own.... I would definitely get quotes from many different providers! Good luck!

I'm almost there! Woohoo!

I also booked my appointment months ago! I went to Kleinfelds at the bay on May 3rd! It was so wonderful! There were a couple people from the show and when I said Yes! some many people came to see the dress and they brought in champagne! It was an incredible experience! So happy I found 'the one' <3 Congrats!

Aww thanks Dimps! Honestly, I was totally relaxed until the issue with my date changing...Now I'm like ok lets get this stuff finalized ASAP lol I'm getting married in November 2014 hope you're right and i am lounging when I get there! That 90 page doc is frustrating! I mean it should really have at least approx pricing! I sent her 4 tablecloth options I'm interested in and she said she would find out if Tai Flora has them and how much they would be! Not sure about the paper lanterns.... Hey SoEze! Yay! Dress shopping rocks! Enjoy every moment! I'm out of Toronto and so are all of my guests...I got them $1,478 total for 7 nights. Sunwing was having a deal off the tax - normally Jamaica tax is $425 but I got it for $230 which is huge! Makes the different from $1,500 or $1,800 you know? Just emailed it to you! Pam

No worries! I'll be posting anything and everything I think you ladies might find useful over the next few months! Congrats on sending out your invites! That's awesome! I'm sure your guests are super excited to book the vacation! I'm having a hard time with picking a photographer as well....I keep saying 'ok, this one' but then 10 minutes later I'm like 'wait, am I sure?' LOL It honestly is one of the biggest decisions! Are you leaning towards Merrick? Sorry about his prices When are you going dress shopping? YAY have fun! <3 I just went on May 3rd and purchased the first dress I tried on <3 Hey CherJK! Do you know if we can add it to the Free Package? It says location to be determined in location - does that mean they can't guarantee the location we want? Like the beach or the pool? Do you know what the traditional Jamaican dinner includes? Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for the photographer suggestion - do you know what photographer you're going with?

Thanks! Love this site! Couldn't do it without all you ladies!

LOL awww well at least you gave them the option!

19 more to go <3

No I haven't heard of her! Do you know if she does airbrush make up?

Lol lets keep doing it then!
