Sorry about that! I hope that they'll allow two ceremonies at the same time, especially if they are in two different locations. From what I've read, I don't think Ana is the only wedding coordinator. It sounds like there might be a couple of other women that help her. So I hope that means that we can both have our ceremonies at 4pm! Let me know when you hear back!
No photographer booked yet, still have to talk to the fiance into that one! We decided to do away with save the dates, and are just going to do early invitations. We're sending them out hopefully within the next month. We go the idea to do "message in a bottle" invites. I'm actually going to put them together myself. You can order pretty much everything online and just shop around for the best prices. So we're going to do a little box with the bottle that has the invitation inside it with sand, shells, a little drink umbrella, and a little palm tree. I'm also going to include in the box an RSVP card and a Travel Information card. I'm doing them as postcards with a tropical scene on them. I'm getting them through Vistaprint, and at least a few times in the past couple weeks they've been on Vistaprint for FREE! I just have to get my butt in gear now and order everything! We're going with turquoise & coral for the colors for the wedding. I guess they're pretty popular for destination weddings, and its kind of fun to play off the name of the resort too! I'm doing turquoise my bridesmaids dresses, but haven't really gotten much further than that. I figured I'd ask for coral colored bouquets and maybe coral colored flowers/decorations for the tables. Maybe turquoise for the chairs at the ceremony? As you can see, I haven't really nailed alot down yet! I'm kind of planning on doing my best to just go with the flow! From what everyone says, it seems like you get everything sorted out once you meet with Ana, so I'm trying not to sweat the small stuff. I am SO OPEN to anything we can come up with to defray costs! I was going to suggest if we could figure out some kind of deal with a photographer, but I don't know how that would work (we'd probably both want the photographer for the same time slot). If you come up with anything, definitely keep me posted! PS...I picked up my wedding dress and veil on Sunday!!! Now I just have to stop myself from coming home every night and prancing around my living room in it!
