I was going to do this as well but I read that they give each guest a full blown map of the resort when they check in.  Sure enough, they were right!  So if you want to save money then don't bother with the maps since they're provided.

A few ladies have asked about reception locations.  My best advice is to go with the beach reception.  Especially if you're not having your ceremony on the beach & in the sand.  Give your guests a true "beach" wedding and go for feet in the sand   We had 40 guests and the best option was the beach in front of Pelicanos.  It was large enough for the whole party.  The other 2 beach locations are nice but are a bit smaller so if you have a smaller party they'll work too.

Ladies, I know I don't get on here too often, but I am just doing a lot of reading and trying to keep up/catch up at the same time! So good luck to those with upcoming weddings. Wish you all the best.

 

So here's a little about me and my wedding and how its coming along....

June 3, 2011 is the date (I will add it to the list)

As of right now (I keep changing it,lol) We have Pelicanos beach for the ceremony and coctail hour, and Central Gardens for the Reception.

I am still debating the location of the coctail...can't decide whether to have it on the beach or the gardens?? Past brides, any suggestions??

 

[msglave]

OMG,  there are so many November brides! Ladies, I hope you have the best wedding ever! I can't wait to see all of your pictures and read all of your reviews!

 

Jes,you have been so dedicated to our thread and helping all of us out that I am sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are all so excited for you!

[risa1818]

Hi Maritza! Yay another June bride! I had very similiar Save The Dates made too! I"ll have to post a pic so you can see. Very cute

 

I had my bridesmaids buy dresses from J.Crew. They have a bridal line. When I found the dresses I wanted them to buy they were on sale so they got them for like $150 which I thought was pretty reasonable since they are really nice quality and don't neccessarily look like a bridesmaid dress. Unfortunately they were discontinuing the color I wanted so they all basically had to buy them right then. I felt really bad asking them to buy them right away and so far in advance ( our date is June 12) but at least they got it out of the way haha. I would take a look on there or I know David's Bridal has some very reasonably priced dresses too.

 

Happy Planning

We have booked DJ Doremix for our reception and Moments That Matter for photography.

I bought my dress way back in Feb so that's checked off the list

Still haven't picked bridesmaid dresses..anyone have any suggestions?? I don't want them to spend a fortune on them since they are already shelling out money to go to the wedding.

 

Our Save The Dates were sent out in Sept and our invites are in the works as we speak! (Hoping to send them out this Month)

 

So Here's a pic of our STDs. Just wanted to share.

 

Just want to say thanks to everyone so far for all the inspirations and ideas! I plan to be on here a lot more often since the wedding is only 7 months away now, yikes!

 

Happy Planning everyone!

[risa1818]

Yay Jes!!! You must be super excited!! If I don't get a chance to come on here later today than have an AMAZING time!!! I am sure your wedding is going to be beautiful and we can't wait to hear all about it!! Just think, all that planning and stress you had to go through is all gone and now you can relax and enjoy your wedding day!! You have been such an inspiration and wonderful source of help and advice on here for everyone, and we are all super excited for you! Congratulations lady and definitely take lots of pics!!

 

Randi and all our other brides leaving this weekend....Congratulations!!

 

[prettypigpig]

Jess,

 

I can't wait for your planning thread!! and Good luck with everything, I am sure it will be a beautiful wedding!  I can't believe that time flies by so fast...

[RunningBride24]

YAY for Randi and Jess!!! Can't wait to hear all about it/see pictures.

 

Jess, I'll second all the other brides, you are a lifesaver so I hope/know things will go perfect for you. Well, your fiance's head may pop off when you show him those pictures but that's just a small technicality, hehe. Husband that is.

 

Have a blast ladies and enjoy every moment, it goes SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO fast!

Randi see you there!!!! we arrive Sunday

 

OMG ladies can't believe the time is here. Planning thread coming tomorrow and I will be sure to post on here when it is up

[ChicagoBride2011]

I cannot tell you how excited I am for all the weddings coming up in the next week!  Good luck to all and enjoy YOUR day!  

 

BTW-  I bought my wedding dress today!   Ended up going with Maggie Sottero RD1044.   The bridal shop tracked down a sample for me and I went this morning to try it.  I honestly thought I was going to hate it in person and it was the type of dress that only looks good on the model and so did my bridesmaids but luckily we were wrong.

Best wishes to all of our November brides!!!  We are cheering all of you on from afar.  I hope you wedding is everything that you hope for.

 

Jess - Can't wait for your review and planning thread!
