found it on edressme. com, link below. Have not ordered it, still looking around to see if I find something in an actual store instead of on-line but so far I've had no luck in the stores. http://www.edressme.com/prom-dress-6405w.html

I had seen this in a past post but cannot find it. Do one of you ladies have a picture of the colors of the sashes that are provided by the resort? there was a picture someone had of all the different color sashes tied to a chair, but cannot find it now.

Beautiful everything looked amazing!!! My BM's have tangerine dresses, very similar to yours

Hi ladies, how is everyone's planning going?

This question is for brides to be and past brides at the GP, did you have a rehearsal dinner at the resort? I am wondering about just gathering all my estimated 35-40 guests together and showing up at one of the restaurants to have dinner perhaps the night before the ceremony, but not sure if this will be considered a rehearsal dinner and be charged extra for it. I'm eager to hear your plans or feedback.

Hi ladies, I found this to-do list from user: Becks She is Rebecca from Allurements, she started designing wedding invitations after she worked on her own destination wedding This list is amazing because you enter your wedding date and the items change color as you get closer to your due date. Also, when you enter your due date, the list auto populates with all the items to be done with their due date. Wedding To Do List.xls

I kinda like this one, still searching though, I love my wedding dress and am looking for a short dress to change into later on in the reception, and don't want to spend too much!

Are you gals aware of the site Oyster.com ? They have plenty of pics of all types of resorts in DR and all over. Hemingways included i believe.

Make sure you let Carolina and anyone else involved know to have the AC turned on when your guests arrive!! When i visited last year the AC was "broken" and it was soo hot in there we stayed outside to drink. FYI!!

Thanks for this post, this is just what I need to look at since I am researching wedding party gifts now

Yes it is pretty frustrating that they don't have a system where you tell them in which restaurant you want your dinner and that is final. Is your wedding in April or May? Perhaps also because those months are the "wedding high season" it might be a bit crazier. I also asked her if we could have more than 1 dinner option for the menu and they also refused. Kitty if you like I can email you the menu that Carolina sent me, just let me know. I don't think you should have a problem with NOT getting your PRIVATE reception dinner, especially if you are paying extra for it! I think you just need to clearly tell her that you expect to have 40+ guests and that you want to do the private dinner for extra $. It seems she does not clearly get that in her response to you. Hope this helps a bit

Hi kitty & Richarsd: I have the email confirming that for a private reception dinner I would need 40 or more guests. Now I am getting confused but more brides on here have also confirmed that the private dinner is 40+ guests, not 20. I write to Carolina in Spanish mostly and she gets back to me fairly quickly and she confirmed that it is indeed 40 or more guests for private reception and 20+ for the beach party.

I like!! These detachable dresses are great, if I had not already selected my dress I would have gone for something like this

Just ordered my BM dresses this weekend! This one is from Mori Lee in Jalapeno color I wanted a vibrant color and these sure are tropical!

OHHHHH sexy! ColoradoBride, where did you find this?

Thank you for your review Chicago! I am so sorry to hear the issues you had with the rooms and the reception staff, WOW! I stayed at the Punta Cana section for one night and I was not that impressed either. We were moved to the Bavaro section in a Romance suite and it was lovely. Were you able to get in touch with the resort manager or do you plan to let management know of your experience? Would love to see your pictures when you have them..and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Yay Sheila!! So exciting!!! Have the best time ever and can't wait to hear all the details when you are back and soooo relaxed

This one is elegant, where did you find it??

Thanks mochamakes3! liking the sweetheart neckline!

I found this one at David's bridal, I like it but not sure about the skirt...

Hi ladies! Can you all post your short wedding dresses and/or if you are changing into a shorter more comfortable dress for the reception, post that too! I searched and have not seen a post like this yet. THANKS

Hi ladies, I have a few questions and am curious to know if you have any feedback? Has anyone asked Carolina for quotes for centerpieces? I am comparing costs with bringing my own or renting them out at the resort. Are you all mostly recording the ceremony music for your walk down the aisle for example, or relying on the resort to provide that? I just started to think about the songs I want to walk to as well as the rest of the bridal party. So many small details! Does the resort provide a cd player to play the ceremony music outside?

Hi chule, Yes I know with my thick hair I will definitely need an updo! Are you renting the centerpieces and decor from the hotel? If so, how much are they charging for that? For makeup I also am unsure about what to do, I may end up using a skilled guest or bridesmaid who is good with makeup or taking a chance with the spa and taking pictures of the look I want and bringing my own makeup just in case. I have not sent out the official invitations yet, they should be going out by early January! Most of my family is really excited about going, they look at it as not only a wedding but a vacation for themselves, so for the family and friends that have told me they are planning on going, I would say I have about 25 guests! How about you??
