I decided to just go with the photographer at the site, their facebook page show some pictures and they've really improved. I don't want to pay the vendor fee and don't want to rely on friends and family photos.
I think i'll just do my own hair / makeup. With a few test runs at home to see how best to do it. I'm going away to make this wedding easy and painless, so worrying about the spa and having to spend the money doesn't interest me. I've heard great reviews about the spa, but also negative ones and don't want to take a chance.
I've already stressed about the amount of people actually going and may cause me to shut down a restaurant I don't want to stress about the little details.
What are the 2015 brides planning for their days? Did you rent the gazebo or a full restaurant?
I want to know what people thought about the piscis? Did it feel tropical still or similar to a reception like we have at "home"?
