WOODSYLOU: Thanks so much for giving me ideas. I am very much laid back, but I am getting nervous.

I have a similar question to slaslappyhappy.. I was thinking either the between the terrace tucan or the Vernado? I am having approx 50 guests. I am having a beach ceremony! Any information would help. slaslappyhappy- do you think they accommodate according to how many guests you have? I noticed one of the places you had chosen accommodates 130 guests? How far are you in your planning? I am somewhat nervous now! I would love to share ideas with you I am getting married in July so i am one month ahead of u!

I have a question...I have somewhat of an idea of what I like for my reception..like table ideas, but how do i really know what will look good. I am not a wedding coordinator!!! HELP.. Where can I get ideas? My colors are coral (pinkish) and Green! I want something simple but beach elegant! Any suggestions??

You girls must be so excited! Your day to shine is almost near!! Wishing you girls the best of luck! Enjoy yourselves and let us know how everything went (which I am sure everything will be perfect) Cannot wait for your reviews!! Congratulations FutureMsMoulton and TonyandTricia

I am trying so hard to get organized and make a list and I am having trouble. Any pointers? I am usually so organized. Quick question I believe I will be qualifying for the complementary package Does anyone know how much extra they charge to have sashes or like extra fabric to place behind the white chairs? Thanks

The way I understand it is that you go by the number of days per room. So regardless or not if 3 or 4 people are staying in one room it depends how many days the room is held for.. So if 3 people in a room are all staying 7 nights.. you only get 7 nights and not 21 nights.

Hello Ladies.. I am constantly on the moon palace 2010 thread because I am getting married July 3 2010. However, I keep forgetting to check this forum. So after I am done asking my question I am going to reconnect on this thread! Past brides have you used either JandS or PSAV as your entertainment production? My fiance and I are planning on using one of the mp suggested company, but I would like to know your input. Also, my fiance is a dj in nyc and believe it or not we are contemplating using an actual dj system and just using an ipod set up.. Any thoughts? I would like a little band for our ceremony and possibly our cocktail hour. THanks for the advice in advance. I will be checking in my often!

Just a heads up though-- I have ordered freeze dried roses from 2 places- the fly boy places weren't packed very well. They come in a large plastic bag that is sealed with a twist tie. If you are planning in storing them for a long time, I would think twice about it. I would be nervous storing them for more than a month. They came within 7 days of ordering them though!! Some of my other Feb brides are coming back from their weddings and everyone is pumped and getting excited. I can't wait to post pictures for all of you guys when I get back. I am leaving in 12 days-- UGH so much to do and my toasting flutes and cake servers aren't even here yet (my fault I forgot about them and ordered them last week) I was hoping that everything will work out for you and I do believe it will!! I will prob order the freeze dried flowers like month before.. Also. do you recommend buying a cake server etc You are in Ny.. that is where I am!! R u on a pre vacation!?

Hey Sooo I just called Macys and my dress has arrived, but weird they say two month before is when I have my first fitting I asked if i can come sooner to see it and she said yes, but nothing will be done until 2 months before?? I know this has been asked and answered, but I will re ask it.. How do we get the "outside" vendor -photographer etc to film our wedding?

I say you should get them within a week that you order them. I too will use them for the aisle (25') and tables. They suggested for me to buy around 300 cups of flowers to cover both moderately. As far as wedding planning...I have some of it done. I now am just getting stuff here and there until I get there. They assigned me a wedding coordinator assistant a couple of months ago until I get my actual wedding coordinator within 3 months of my wedding. They have been very helpful in updating my file when needed. I am sure that if you need help or have questions about anything they will help you. I suggest getting a binder with dividers on each category of your wedding, to do list, and timeline (I'm still working on the timeline)... because it can get overwhelming. I also created my budget on theknot.com which helps. I'm just a little nervous about the music and ballroom.... decorating it correctly without really seeing it....I have to rely on the wedding coordinator A LOT and vendors because each item is separate from chairs to china) but I 'm going to try not to worry about it too much. If you need any help with anything (information) just let me know. Good luck with your planning! :-) Ashley thank you for your information and the same to you good luck and if you need anything let me know. I am not really worried about the music. My fiance is a dj so he will put together a compile of music and he will talk to the entertainment person that we choose to go with! As far as a binder and being organized.. I guess I can do that.. I just don't think I need one as of yet. I dont know ...I usually am very organized,b ut i feel I just can't be organized since I can't plan much yet1

I am going to bring my ipod with all the songs I like and hope it is a good DJ. As for the flowers I just spoke with Fly Boy Naturals- Eco Friendly today. A lot of brides have used them for the freeze dried roses. I wanted to get my flowers now because there was a really huge sale of 70% off (which has now been dropped to 50%, they usually are only 35% off). She said that they should last until my wedding in June...as long as I keep them in the recommended temperature and area. Which is best in a dark closest in my house. She said that they do not turn brown but can start to fade just a little bit...worse case scenario. Needless to say I bought 300 cups of flowers today and will store them until June. hope this helps. I wonder how long it takes to get those flowers? I plan on buying them and using them for the runner and a little extra around the tableS?/ What about you? I will prob order them in march. Thank for the info Ps what are you up to as far as planning.. I am just trying to figure things out!

Futuremsmoulton- i am hoping things turn around for you. I am like 6 months away and i am stressing out. The only thing i have been able to be in control of....bridesmaid dresses....invitations... And my welcome bags. Dj's and table setting and stuff like that i assume will be arranged and discussed 4 months away (if they respond) again-sorry for your stresses. If you need anything that i can help you with let me know!! How long in advance should i order the eco flowers?? Ps to all future brides- my fiance is a graphic designer and is currently designing our invitations, but just finished working on our welcome bags and his cousin does the screen printing. So if anyone is interested let me know!!

I am planning on doing a sand ceremony as well. I have not purchased anything yet. Though I think I should start now! It is in place of a candle lighting.. Not sure how I will do this on the beach though. I am sure someone on here can help us out in letting us know how a sand ceremony is done! By the way ..How much sand do we need to purchase!?

Thanks a bunch.-Jenna I am also doing the same thing and have the same exact question.We are planning on doing canvas bags and buyin gall the stuff for it here and then hoping to assemble it there, but I am not sure if that is even possible or how we are going to bring it there..So please keep me posted with peoples responses!

I got it from one of the online knock off shops in China. I read tons of reviews on the pro's and cons and just decided that I would shoot for the moon and be happy if I got a pretty dress that fit! I put a link to the dress I ordered below. Wedding Dresses - Sheath Dress with Sweetheart Dropped Waist - WD0645 wow awesome dress and the price is great too!!!

I would assume that it does not count, but I could be wrong. Honestly they should count those rooms bc guests ARE staying at one of their other Palace resorts. Good thing is you do NOT have to pay a day pass for them!!! BUT the TA should fight that for you!! My problem was that people wanted to book through expedia and those sites and were saying they were getting cheaper rooms. SO we contacted our TA to fight to get our rooms cheaper and she was somewhat slow on responding to our request, so we ended up arguing and receiving a better deal. Our TA did come through for us, but I get so annoyed at TA the reason why we have them is to have less stress on our hands and I sometimes feel more stressed then anything. That was me venting!

Jasmine Bridal / B2035 / Coral (CR) This is the color I have chosen for my Bridesmaids and this is one of the 5 dresses they will be wearing!

Word of advice for all.. whatever is said...like 75 days in total free whatever.... make sure it is put into writing before you sign any contract. I believe someone on here had a problem with that. My fiance and I are waiting b4 we block any rooms that everything will be included that needs to be included etc etc. I am 6 months away.. Bridesmaid Dresses have been ordered.. Invitations are still being worked on ( I need to kick my fiance's ass =) to move on them )...Now I am interested in table setting...does anyone have pictures of outdoor table receptions?? At this point..I do not know what else I can be doing.. My dress is coming in sometime in Feb. I honestly cannot rem. how my dress looks like or even how I looked like in it =( (a little nervous) I need to start looking for shoes- any suggestions on where to go??!?! Who is getting married July 19? Anyone else in July?

To be honest I am starting to regret my decision for the price we are paying. I am getting annoyed too for u. How horrible. Sorry. You betterrrr call every single person you can until you get in touch 53 days is still enough time, but it should not be this hard to be in contact. I hope hope it works for u and your experience is better from here on out!
