Hey Ladies, did you all read the BDW Forum update from the owner Tammy?

 

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...se-read-61849/

 

The forum will be down for one day (July 27) while they switch it over to a new, refreshed and better BDW site! There will be some changes to the look of things so give it a read.

Hey Dana,
I know, I was so happy with the cake --- although it was gigantic. But the flowers made all the difference. I strongly suggest to everyone to bring embelishments for your cake. My bakery gave me 45 sugar flowers for $15 and I gave the Yanna the photo of what I wanted and it worked out. I was so afraid because I absolutely hated all the photos she sent me of the other cakes.

I rented out the SSG too and asked for white linens. I believe they also have pink and orange? And it was free.

So I got an answer from Tiara; for those who want to have a cocktail hour, an open bar is included for an hour for free

Which package are you taking again? I'm going to take the free package with the Rental of the SSG. And i was going to do the cocktail hour as well for my guests at 10$ a head. Does that mean they keep it for an extra hour free? Thanks in advance!!!

Sunandsand...your cake was absolutely beautiful! Im also bringing down decorations for my cake; Im planning on telling them to leave it blank (like yours) and then I purchased 6 peonies from Angel's Accents (2 hot pink and 4 light pink) and also a monogram cake topper

Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful pictures with us

xoxo

I have the free package (Wedding in Paradise Package). My ceremony is at 4p.m. Once its done, Im planning on going around the resort to take pictures with my husband (I booked HDC for 5 hours) so Im doing the cocktail hour ($10/pp) then, so that our guests dont get bored; the cocktail hour is an hour long and it includes the open bar for free for 1 hour! Then at 6p.m. we head to the SSG for our reception.

xoxo

Thank you for the pics, its exactly what i was wondering. And my colors are turquoise/aqua so you basically made me very happy!

thank you Pink Petals for posting the pics of the tables from Tiara! I was wondering what colors they had to offer before I pick my colors

Oh FYI...I decorate cakes so I spend alot of time in Micheal's getting supplies...I have seen pretty pre-made sugar flowers in there too. I know they have different color roses, daisies and pansies.
