The bouquet is beautiful. I am glad you are as happy as I was. It is unbelieveable how real it looks. Wed ideas is great and so easy to work with.

My son loved the camp. He is 8 years old. I have to admit the first day I was a little nervous but he was so excited to be with other kids. They have a list of all the activities and the times. You can check on them any time. When it was time for a new activity we were there to see if he was OK and if he wanted to stay. He always did. The counsels are all very good. He was always excited to see them. We would like to go back. It was a great place for us to have our time as well as my son having a great time. I hope this helps. Melissa

That is a great idea putting the calla lilies with the orchids they give you. It will look really pretty.

Melissa, Where are you flying out of? I flew AA out of JFK. I prefer that terminal vs Jet Blue' terminal which was the other option. Melissa

I would love to see what you ordered. I hope you are as excited as I was.

HI, I kept my bouquet in the box that wedideas.com had shipped it in and put it in a carry on bag. It was is light so we were able to pack other things in the carry on. I hope this helps. Melissa

My bouquet was not real. It was from wedideas.com. They are the natural touch flowers. The bouquet is 10". I can't express how happy I was. Everyone thought it was real. Even Ileana from TI thought it was.

Wendy, I loved all of the locations. We went to 2 places. The dock, colored buildings and palm trees and all next to each other. Then we drove about 15 mins to the next location on the beach. Melissa

Melissa, We did the exact same thing. We had a wedding planned. It started to become something I did not want. The guess list was growing and we were fighting over everything. We decided to cancel the wedding and eloped with my 8 year old son. We had the best time. I would not have changed anything. There is nothing negative I can say about our experience. We are hoping to go back next year. Melissa

The bottom one is from TI.

Hi! We also go back on a week ago. My experience was little different than Lizzdee. We eloped with my 8 year old son. We also stayed in the CV. We were in the Caicos room on the 3rd floor. We had a small view of the ocean. It was perfect for us. I agree that you do no need to spend the money on the room. We were never in it. This resort was perfect for all of us. My son loved going to the camp and we were able to have some alone time as well as family time. Ivette was our planner at the resort. She was great. We were were married on the beach. My son gave me away, he was also the ring bearer and best man. He was awesome. I had my hair and makeup done by Shenque Perfections and loved it. She is very nice and quick. Our pastor was also great. He was both serious and funny. The script was not religious at all. We did a sand ceremony to make sure my son was included. I brought my own script. The one they have does not include a child. We did not have a reception, only the 1/2 hr cocktail hour. This was plenty for us. We did have dinner at Schooners that night. Personally I like Barefoot by the Sea better. Since we eloped, I did get the small package of prints and the video. Bond was our photographer. Surprisingly they came out good. I also hired Ileana from TI. I loved going around the island for the photographs. We loved everything about our wedding and trip. We are hoping to go back next year. Here are some pictures from the resort.

Hi, I got the template from my WC.

Hi, My bouquet was $100. I got the 10" round. It is similar to the NT orchids & calla mix they have pictured on their website. They wrapped it in the fushia/magenta ribbon. I did not purchase anything else. It is only my FI and son. I ordered an extra boutinneer for my son from Beaches. The orchids wedideas used will match the boutinneers from Beaches. Which one did you fall in love with? I am now wondering how I am going to transport the bouquet. FYI I got my bouquet in a few weeks. Melissa

I receive my natural touch bouquet from wedideas.com. All I can say is WOW!! I was very hestitant about ordering a fake bouquet but did not want to spend the money to upgrade my bouquet. Beaches charges way too much. I wanted calla lillies and orchids. I had read about wedideas on this forum and how past brides were very happy. I would recommend using wedideas using the natural touch flowers. They did excactly what I wanted. They are very easy to deal with. The whole experience was great. MY BOUQUET LOOKS REAL. IT IS BEAUTIFUL!!

Hi, Roxy is on maternity leave. I am also waiting for pricing. My new contact is Dexter. His email is [email protected]. Hope this helps. I thought the arch was $350.

Hi and welcome. I now have Dexter. He took Roxy's place while she is on maternity leave. I only had 1 planning session with Roxy. I did not get a follow up email from her. I will need to touch base with him. I hope he is not pushy. She was not. She was very open to any discussions and questions. The only time I felt like she was a little pushy was to book a photograper. I booked TI but did not tell them. I have read from previous brides that the Beaches photographers will not take any good pictures if they know you have hired an outside vendor. I told them I did not want a package. I will pay for each. I also booked Shenique for my hair and make up. I did not want to take a chance on not getting a good person from beaches.

Has anyone inquire or had a sand ceremony? I want to include my son in the ceremony. I like to know if containers for the sand ceremony are packed for you once the ceremony is done. Can you pick the color of the sand? Are the containers nice? I can't tell exactly what they look like from the brochure. I saw a thread about the scripts. When I talk to Roxy, will she be able to provide the scripts that includes the sand ceremony? I would like one that is more family oriented since I am including my 8 year old son. This is one of the reason we chose Beaches. We want him to be a big part of the wedding.

Is Shane your WC? I also never thought about asking for the script. That's a great idea.

Thank you so much! Affidavit for Turks Caicos.doc

Jess, I would love it... Thank you

I am trying to find a template or something for the affidavit of spinstership and bachelorhood. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have no idea what to right. Thank you

Mdcoug, I would also be very intersted if they will change the BB bouquet by adding a few stems and changing to a round design. I also would love the island paradise floral arrangement but not for $450. Deod Does anyone know if they would change the BB bouquet to round with the magenta orchids? The package offers a round red rose bouquet but I would want the orchids.

Thank you Wendy for the insight. This is very helpful. I am going to do what you suggested. Tell her what I am interested in then have her email me an invoice. As it gets closer to my date I will confirm the add ons.

I was wondering how everyone's planning session with Roxi has been. I have a meeting scheduled in a few weeks.
