These look fabulous!!! You did an awesome job!

For example, I am getting 3 bridesmaid bouquets instead of table arrangements because I have my own centerpieces. I have decided to keep my decorations very simple. I was going to do chair sashes, but then decided that it will look great regardless because of the setting so I did not want to stress myself out over who would put them on the chairs. I also thought that having the overlays would be enough at the reception, so I will not be doing chair sashes there either. I received some new pictures from Ana.... one of which I believe is possibly Carina from this forum She also sent me the link to Juan Nevarra's blog, and he still is taking pictures for Dreams. Maybe he is only doing the weddings that were confirmed before the switch to Adventure photos?? I am not sure, but his pictures look really great.

Thanks for posting! Glad you are hearing from Ana.

Non-resort related question. Does anyone know when the 2011 collections will be available in stores. Fell in love with what I'm pretty sure is "the dress" but its from the 2011 collection :-s Assuming that it'll be months before its even available in stores?

I'm getting the Ultimate Wedding Package - is there somewhere that I am overlooking included centre pieces. The only florals for the tables that I saw that were included in the package were the ones for the ceremony table and the bride and grooms table at the reception. This is why I out sourced for my center pieces for the guests tables at the reception. Just wanted to check if those were the only table arrangements you were referring to for the bouquet trade-off and that i am not overlooking something. Thanks

I emailed the resort photographers and they said they'd love to do a TTD. Anel said that it could be included with my ceremony session cost, even if they did it the next day. I'd only have to pay for extra pictures if I wanted more than 50 (which I will!). They said other brides have done this before so they are comfortable shooting TTD. I wanted an example but didn't get one. Hope that helps!

Awesome! I'm going with the free package because I have very few guest coming so anything I choose to do will cost $. Claudia's TTD session is $1000 and Juan is $700. Do you mind sharing the resort photographers email with me so I can see what they charge? I've already hired Claudia for my pics so I don't want to shell out too much more money but I know it will be soooo worth it! Thanks!
