Good afternoon ladies!! It's been awhile since I have been on here but, I wanted to share my good news. I finally made my deposit and secured my date for July 18, 2015 at the Gran Caribe Real. I wanted the Gazebo but the max # of guest was 60 ppl so it will be on the beach at 4pm. The reception will be on the rooftop terrace. Working on securing DJ Doremixx. I just received my wedding contract so once that is signed and sent back I can move on to other decisions. My WC is Ana Perez and so far she has been very good and her response has been timely. I am using the Wright Travel Agency and my agent Virgilia has been great. They do not charge to use them and that was a definite plus for me. The next big things I am working on are the photographer and videographer then I will feel much better. I will keep you updated as things go along. Happy planning!!

 Thats awesome! do you know if there is a group for 2014/2015 brides at this resort? I did not see any just the 2013 thread

Have you heard good reviews of this DJ? I set my wedding date for Feb 2015!  What are you thinking on decorations?

I am working with Ana too.. Did you chose the Albatros terrace?

ladies took me forever to get back in the site do to the new update. love the site now!!!! 2015 bride here so excited!!!!!!! we cant decide on our wedding date we were thinking 9/4/2015 now we are thinking 7/4/2015 and suggestions???

 If you are ok with the heat then thats good!. I went on December and its hot.. i cannot imagine if its hotter i would be melting..

The intense heat starts in May ... and hurricane season is around sept/Oct

We were going to get married in Nov. but my fiance was scared of the rain after the hurricane season so pushed until Feb..

I second that re creativity.  I know it's early but is anyone contemplating a brooch bouquet? Initially I wasn't but am thinking more about it. 

I am, I think they look Amazing!

@make2dayamazing: aren't they?!?! My sister is really artistic and great at DIY projects so I am thinking this may be another bonding project for us. I have to figure out if I will do real flowers or a smaller, less "brooch-filled" version for her. I found a few Etsy sellers that sell brooches and buttons in bulk. Now to research real looking flowers....

@@girlinthecity97 i'm thinking about including some brooches in my bouquet but not an entire brooch one.

 

@Make2dayAmazing I know! These people are amazing with their ideas and their follow through. I've been working passport mailers and i've already spent about 4 hours on them and they're not even close to being done!

hi @@amarie4713 - i hear ya and agree. i'm torn between going heavy or interspersing brooches throughout. I saw great pics and examples on google/etsy. i'm guessing my sister's willing/unwilling participation will be the deciding factor re how little or how much bling will be added. though i have a feeling she may veto the idea....she doesn't know it yet, but i want her to trick out my shoes like she did her own for her wedding.
