I will be getting her and the hair stylist a day pass. I am so excited!!!!! It's finally here!!! Felt like it took forever, but ever since the 2 month mark hit... the days are just flying by!!!

Snowbelt actually asked Natalie and she said a day pass will work!

I'm getting married on the 17th. No worries! It's a tropical location, so you can almost always expect it to rain. Normally only last 20 minutes. June does start the rainy season, but I'm optimistic! I was in Jamaica back in 2006 in June and it was perfect! Rained only 1 day for like 2 seconds! LOL

We just had our Bridal Party BBQ yesterday! It was so much fun and the weather couldn't have been more perfect!!! Just a couple small items to do and I'm done!!

LOL Thanks for replying! Now I don't feel as bad! LOL

Update: I decided to hire an outside vendor for hair and makeup, so I won't be able to leave a review for Renova when I get back. Sorry!

Haha too funny! Let me know if you decide to go with her or not!

Thanks for all the information ladies!! I decided to book her and her stylist!!! Can't wait! I kind of swept in and stole her from 2 other brides. But hey! They didn't put their deposit down! Snow- Obviously from above, I decided to change and I'm going with her over Renova. Her prices were a lot cheaper compared to the spa, but her travel fee made it comparable. Since her services are in the room, it will be easy to get around the vendor fee, so I'm thinking of just doing a day pass for her and the stylist. I'm going to see if there is a way around it or to get it cheaper since she will only be there for a couple hours, I will let you know! BTW, the reason I changed... I really wanted to be airbrushed. It's so light and you can't beat the lasting power!

Remember business days! I would say she got back to you in 3 days which is pretty good! Not sure on how the 3 day rule works, if anything, perhaps just Sunday doesn't count? That's probably an easy google search to find out... As for discounts... you should be receiving a free room upgrade and a VIP bracelet.

Hi ladies! It looks like Rashel Edwards is amazing at her job! Can someone please let me know her pricing? Also, contact information? Thanks so much!

Here's my bouquet! I requested only 6 roses instead of 12, and I'm changing the dendrobium orchids to cymbidium orchids (2nd pic) to get my touch of pink! Adding bear grass as an accent as well. Can't wait to see it!

Our favors are personalized shot glasses. When we go on vacation we always buy a shot glass as a souvenir, so we thought this was perfect! We love them and can't wait to hand them out! We're filling them with jelly bellies!

I decided on my bouquet!!! My mom is probably so happy 'cause I was asking her non stop for her thoughts on it the past couple of days! LOL I'm still going with Bridal Bouquet 52 (pic below), but now I'm keeping the white roses (6 instead of 12 though), I'm changing the dendrobium orchids to cymbidium orchids to get my touch of pink(2nd pic), keeping the hydrangeas and adding bear grass as an accent. We also decided that my fiance will have a white rose boutinerre with bear grass accent. Can't wait to see!

The time varies anywhere from 2-5 days. I honestly don't think you need to worry. There isn't much you have to set up with them until you actually get down there. I've heard of many brides that don't do any planning till they get down there. So no worries! Also, if you have any questions, just ask us on here! Lots of knowledge here!

The dresses are a pale/rose pink. It compliments the blue and bright green quite well actually! I still haven't decided which bouquet I want, but the couple quotes I received looks like it will be anywhere from $55-$75 to upgrade. $20 for the boutinerre. We are using an outside photographer and videographer; WPAJ (Sun Gold Photo associates) and RG Weddings respectively.

Who are you using ScorpioBride?! $300 for two hours is fantastic!

Great to hear! Are you planning on writing a review?

We have a total of 43 which includes us and our 2 photographers. For menu, you get to choose whichever a la carte menu you would like.

The dinner that is included in the ceremony package is for small receptions and it's at one of the a la cartes. Due to the amount of guest we have coming, we have to do a private reception (which is what we wanted anyway). It's $45/pp which includes a 4 course meal and regular bar. We booked the Blue Lagoon Restaurant with a DJ for 4 hrs and the Zurielmaka show as well.

Wow! You definitely did a great job! Your guest will just LOVE these!!!

We're going with the phrase... "that's what family and friends are for!" LOL My parents pack light and can get both of their clothes in one bag, so they are taking another suitcase down with our OOT bags. My bridemaids will be taking down flowers and ceremony programs, fiance's parents will take down our wedding favors and we will be taking down the rest. I will be putting together the OOT bags this weekend to see how many I can fit in one bag. There are 23 bags so we shall see! I'm hoping I can get them all in 1 large suitcase, but I'm betting it will take two...

Just wanted to update and say I found a wonderful BD photographer!!! Located in Downtown Rochester... It was so much fun and her packages are at a great price! Highly recommend!! www.theboudoirloft.com

I LOVE the bright, bold colors! Great job!!!

They look fantastic! Congrats!

Great tutorial! You did a fantastic job!
