Great pictures Maura!! I'm so excited I want the next 10 months to just fly by!! Do you think I should have my ceremony at 4:00pm on 12-3 at the Grand?  I want enough time to take pictures on the beach before it gets too dark. What do you suggest?

DeAngelis2Be,

 

I saw someplace on this site that the pool games start at 4, Im not sure about the grand, but I'm thinking about 330 on the beach will be nice. Remember, the sun will set around 5pm when we get married in December, it depends on how much time you want for pictures with the sun still shining

[DeAngelis2be]

Thanks for the heads up Marlena! I need to talk to my WC to see if 4pm on the dot is possible. I will try to get all the pics with my bridesmaids and family out of the way before the ceremony so I can focus on the entire bridal party and of course me and my groom post ceremony. I didn't think about the the sun setting early when I set my date.

Hi DeAngelis2be,

 

I had mine almost the same date (12-4-10) and I scheduled mine for 4:30.  I ran late, so it was more like 4:45, but I thought the timing was good anyway.  I didn't want to be too hot or anything during the ceremony.  It really depends how long your ceremony will be and how long you need afterward for pics.  We did some family and bridal party ones afterward, and my husband and I did some outside and then did a bunch inside as well.  I liked the time since we had cocktail hour from 5:30 - 6:45 and then reception at 7:00.  If we had finished much earlier, I don't know what guests would have done in between (or I guess we could have started reception earlier...).

 

Enough of my rambling...hope this helps!

Thanks, eholt!

 

My photographer was Neville, a Sungold associate.  We really loved working with him and am very happy with how the pics turned out!

yes, we spread out the cash between carryon pieces and on ourselves.  I was very stressed travelling with that much cash but we had no problems.

Maura your pictures are beautiful! Thank you for posting! I'm getting so excited. I asked Tai Flora for purple orchids in my bouquet and floral arrangements. They look so beautiful!

Does anyone know the extent that you can decorate if you DON'T rent out a restaurant? 

 

Thanks!
