My date is March 27th 2012 @  Dreams Punta Cana!!

Happy planning everyone

Manda...I would get in touch with the ones that didn't RSVP by the date you chose.  I had to do the same with some of my guests because I guess some people don't know they have to RSVP (frustrating I know!).  They were like "oh I didn't think I had to RSVP and that I could just book last minute..." 

I had a final date for the group deposit and whoever didn't give their deposit to our TA by that date wouldn't get the group discount and would have to book on their own.  This only happened to one couple.  Luckily everyone else payed their deposit on time and could benefit from the group discount!

Good luck!

I'm planning on bringing my our centerpieces.  I found that the centerpieces at the resort were too expensive.  I plan on buying 5-6 square vases (depending on how many tables we have) at Ikea and getting flowers from Michales.  I'm hoping to fill the vase with lime slices that I'll get over there.  Either at a local market or from the resort.  I also have purple rose petals that will be scarttered all over the table along with some 4 votive candles I got at Michaels.

I told my bridesmaids and mother that they each have to bring a vase in their carry-ons  

Here is my inspiration (my colors are purple and green):

Great idea!  Never though of checking out youtube for stuff like that.  I also lack talent in the hair department!

Thanks anudrm for your help!!  Good to know that Carter and OshKosh accepts returns a year later! 

Jamie, I love fushia and orange for a beach wedding!  Very beautiful!  Make sure your GM wear the top hat and cane with their tux    lol

Hi Mommies!

I have a 7 month old son and by next year (at the time of our wedding) he'll be 14 months.  Here's my question....What size clothes does a 14 month old boy wear?  Everything is on sale right now and I would love to buy him cute summer clothes for the wedding but have no idea what size to get.  He's not very big but he is tall for his age.  He's 7 1/2 months right now and wears size 12 months.

Thanks for your help ladies!

Purple and lime green.....with a splash of ivory and orange (mostly in the flowers).

Hi Brides!

I have a question regarding a beach ceremony decor.  I am getting married on the beach and I was wondering if any of you had pictures of the basic set up is.  I'm getting the "Paradise Package" so having the ceremony on the beach is $300 extra.  I was just curious to see how it was decorated and if I should bring my own tulle or flowers etc...

I also saw that they charge $500 to have flowers for the beach canopy....does anybody have pictures and is it worth the extra $$ ?

Thanks!! 

Wow great job!!  Really nice OOT bags!  I was thinking of getting pashmina's for the girls also...did the women in your group find them useful?

WOW!!!  Very nice!  Do you mind sending me the template as well [email protected].  I don't have enough posts to open the attachment you posted. 

Thanks!

Oh good question!  I was wondering the same thing.  I would like to plan an excursion as well for my group...maybe a catamaran tour.  Has anybody done this at DPC?  How much and is it worth it?

Hi

I sent you a PM.  Do you have a picture?

I love this dress in purple!  I will definitely look into ordering for my bridesmaids.  They are all different sizes so hopefully it fits nice on all of them.

Thanks for the link!

I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it. It fits all shapes and sizes and they have the exact color I want. Its a Henkaa dress. You can order online but they do have stores too. See if this link works http://www.henkaa.com/  Good luck!

I hope my resort provides them because that is one thing I do not want to bring down!!  My list of things to bring is starting to get pretty long!!!

What about at a party supply store (Party Mart, Party Packagers....)?  I haven't checked but I wouldn't be surprised if they have some there.

Good luck!

OMG what a gorgeous dress!!!  Too bad I already have mine.....

Cath2012, does Wedideas ship to Canada?  Good to know that they're cheaper!  I'll check them out for sure.  Thanks! 

Hi cath2012

Did you check out bloombridal.com? It's a Toronto company so shipping shouldn't be that much to ship to Ottawa. I'm also looking to see what would be cheaper...getting real touch flowers or flowers from the resort.

Her work looks amazing!  My wedding is also in January, what is your arrival date?

 

Hi ladies

So far, one of my bridesmaids' gifts is a travel wallet from Danier Leather.  It has a removable passport holder, with slots for boarding pass, credits cards and passport.  It was on sale for 29$ (down from 45$) and they have a lot of cute colors.

My wedding isn't until March 2012 so I'm picking up things when I see they're on sale!  I'm also thinking of getting them a starfish necklace to wear on the wedding day and a pair of really nice sunglasses.  I'm also paying for their dresses.

My fiancé has no idea what to get the guys....any ideas???

Hello!  Are any of you having your cocktail hour at the same location as your reception??  I'm not sure how that works....

What are your timelines (ceremony, pictures, cocktail hour, reception)?

Thanks, I'm new to this site and my WC isn't answering all my questions!

Hi MsClarke724, could you send me the calculator please!!  Thanks

Nikadawn did you check out bloombridal.com ?  They're in Toronto so shipping shouldn't be much!
