Iberostar Grand Rose Hall future bride in Need of Major Help

[ktdawson]

I am new to the forum and I have been doing a lot of reading on this site and it has now taken my idea of what I thought was going to be an easy task and turned it into a I don't know where to start nightmare. Everyone is talking about different packages, receptions, cocktail hours and decorations. I thought when we started planning a destination wedding it was going to be less stressful than planning a wedding at home. I don't know where to start I have looked at the packages the WC sent me from the Grand but I see everyone talking about different photographers, bringing in decorations contacting the florists, having cocktail hours and I don't know where to start. Where did some of you start when you started planning? How do you plan this beautiful day and keep your sanity all at the same time while making sure you are happy and your guests are to? Do you provide decorations or does the resort, what package did you choose, was the cocktail hour worth it, should you have a private reception or just a dinner? So many questions can someone PLEASE HELP ME figure this out?
