I got a response from her! She is available for my date! I think I am going with the 4 hour 1500.00 package. The only thing is I do not have the $$ for the deposit right now because I had to put down the deposit for the wedding and our honeymoon. Does anyone know if we can spread the payment out over 2 months?

HI! I sent her an email yesterday I really love her work. Does anyone know if she does trash the dress sessions and how much they are? i hope she is not booked for my date

verh you are so close! I know you're excited! I cant wait to see pictures..I have a lot of reading to do 191 past pages..I am at work..bord..so it shouldnt be too hard

thanks everyone! I only have 5 months! I have started thinking of doing starfish ornaments and getting my guests name on each one so they would serve the purpose of a placecard as well as a favor. I was also thinking of making my own napking rings. The bamboo kind and glueing a small starfish at the top of each one. What do you think? does LC provide napkin rings?

Hi Everyone! Im officially a Las Caletas bride! I just paid my deposit this morning..Im so excited to start planning with everyone! I will be here a lot.. march 29, 2010 is the day

Hi Everyone! I am also a LC bride! i am aiming for March 29 2010..I am paying my deposit next week to confirm my date I switched from Sandals Antigua to Las Caletas because I went on a short vacay to PV and happened to "fall in love" with the area I cant wait to plan with all of you! can anyone give me advice on how the in house photog is/wedding cake and price/and also the hair and make-up person they have on staff and price of both..Thanks so much! Jennifer

Hi Everyone! I am looking into getting married at las caletas in march 2010..I had originally planned Antigua but after my recent vacay to puerto vallarta I fell in love with the place! so anyway, I was wondering how the photog was they have on locatoin and also how much to get hair/make-up done at the location? Any info on the wedding cakes? Thanks everyone!

Hey mcgodwin! We are both from NC!! Do you know which resort yet? Im thinking Grand Pineapple or sandals

OK, I have switched my destination from the Mayan Riviera to Ocean Isle, to Paris! And now I have finally decided on Antigua..We're thinking April or June,hopefully April! Anyway, am I the one and only Antigua bride, I sure hope not!

I was thinking of pink hibiscus, orange bird of paradise and white daisies and blue orchids for my bouquet. I dont know how well these flowers hold up. I am having a June wedding so they should be relatively easy to find. I am having trouble finding bouquets with this variety on line to preview. What do you think of this variety? My colors are pink, coral, aqua, and chocolate brown. Thanks!

June 19 2010...originally was supposed to be june 12, but apparently I was double booked

I don't think anyone will notice if you don't..i am asking my brother if his little girl will be mine but if he says no, I don't think I will have one either

My heart goes out to all of you I was going to be a 2010 DPA bride but changed my venue closer to home so more of my family and friends could attend. I wish you all the best, and it will work out, you will still have the gorgeous wedding of your dreams, no matter where you go...~Hugs~

I just set my date! June 12, 2010...Happy Planning everyone!

I was wondering the same thing. I may go to my local print shop for my STDs

ViewLarge here is my dress!

I have the perfect place for my wedding!! Ocean Isle beach, NC..We are going to have it at the Isles restaurant. We get the ocean front banquet room and tiki bar and we can get married right on the beach. They have arbors and chairs we can rent. Im so excited! Originally we were thinking of the mayan riviera but this place is perfect, and about an hour driving distance so more people can come!!

Hi! i am getting married June 14, 2010!!!!!! well as soon as the WC confirms that date anyway!

I am pretty sure I am getting the standard paradise package, but do you think I can bring my own tulle and decorations for the gazebo? I also want to upgrade my cake to a 3 tier. I just want to have the ceremony and everyone can eat at one of the restaurants since all my guests will be staying there anyway. I would like to rent to Dj for 3 hours after dinner so everyone can dance. Is this possible you think to do it this way? I dont want to pay extra for food when there is dinner already included in the room rate. I dont mind if we sit with strangers

do they let you bring your own music for the ceremony? I want my bridesmaids and me to walk down the aisle to the Hawaiian "somewhere over the rainbow" by Israel something. We are very close to picking our date! We want June 07 and Jacy emailed me and told me it was still available so we should be booking soon!

Originally it was just going to be the two of us but my dad was really hurt by this and now my parents and brother are planning on coming. Wish you both all the best. Hope you have a wonderful, beautiful, intimate time together and a new start. yea, that's exactly how i feel! i think there are a couple people joining us now, my mom is planning on coming and his niece is going to be my bridesmaid so she will come of course. i dont know how I feel about sending out invitations. I dont want anyone to think they are not included but I dont want anyone to feel pressured that they MUST come..Well congrats and hapopy planning!

I just got a reply from Jacy with the available May 2010 dates!! I should have my date set soon! T
