Your wedding looked perfect and you made such a beautiful bride!!! Congrats to you both

Awesome review and I can't wait to see your slideshow from Anel to see how everything comes together. With each review I read I become more at ease about the whole planning process and situation and know that it will all turn out perfect. I would say reading all your input and your videos has helped a tremedous amount with knowing DREAMS was the right choice. I'm sure my next 3 months will fly by and I can't wait to get there and experience all the magic and happiness you past brides have endured! CONGRATS!!!

So glad you had such an amazing time, CONGRATULATIONS!! I can't wait to see your slideshow and read your review when you have a chance to unwind from the vacation/wedding.

Wow, your wedding looked absolutely stunning!!

Beautiful wedding, Congrats!

One of the girls I think on the previous page said your picture was of Desiree's Lounge outside area, the nightclub of the hotel. I think the Lounge is different from the Terrace and this is probably why you aren't seeing it with Desire's Terrace.

So here is a picutre of the lounge set-up that I received from Gina that I could add to my cocktail hour on the beach for a lovely price of $1,500. I mean it looks great and all but that is a lot of money to spend for 1 hour. And you can see that the area isn't private and you will have ppl in their bathing suits walking around, to address the previous questions. Sorry to be the debbie downer.

The only reason I choose not to do the lounge furniture was because the cost was a little outrageous for 1 hour. I think the cost quoted by Gina was an extra $1,500.

Prices for the Spa: Hair Styling = $65.00 Make-up = $54.00

My suggestion would be if you have a picture of a bouquet you like and would like them to recreate for you, send them a picutre and they will tell you the cost over and above what you are allowed. Or if you send them an idea of a bouquet and tell them you would like it to be in the price range allowed for the bouquet included in the package. This allows you to not have to pick something from the catalog that you don't really like.

I found something really cool on Etsy for anyone who was thinking of creating Thank You cards using pictures of themselves. I thought these signs were the coolest things and have ordered mine. http://www.etsy.com/listing/83894044/beach-wedding-rustic-photo-props?

Yeahh for you, have a FANTASTIC wedding and vacation and I can't wait to read your review. Your videos have been an immense help to all the brides on this forum!!

I think that you should go with the color that your tried on and fell in love with, your first instinct is most of the time the best to go with. Also, you don't know what the "true" white will look like against your skin tone and you could absolutely hate it and than you are stuck with a dress color that doesn't flatter you. I would say that I see less and less brides getting true white dress, they are more off white, ivory and champagne has also become very popular. I would say the color you tried on sounds extremely beautiful and will look nice a rich and won't look off from the white tablecloths. Hope this helps a little and you have a right to stress as it's a huge decision to make for that perfect dress. Honestly, go with what you fell in love with and you know that looks amazing on you.

Thanks fro the review and the reassurance that everything will turn out amazing, that makes me feel less stressed out.

Wow, your pictures are amazing and everything about your wedding looked stunning!!!

Hi Ladies- So I've decided that I'm going to do a rehearsal dinner for close family, however from all the reviews and what not I can't seem to remember what everyone has done or what is the best one to go with. If you could let me know where you have planned yours or what restaurants from reviews are good that would be really helpful!! Thanks sooo much for all the help in this whole planning process as I would be completely lost.

This is exactly the time frame that I used to send out my save the dates and invites. I sent mine invites out at the end of May/beginning of June and requested RSVP back by August 15th due to the cut-off of my group room contract. My wedding doesn't take place till 11/11/2012 but this gives me enough time to finish up last minute gifts and what not. And to be honest, people are slow at returning them.

Yes, all food and drinks at ALL restaurants are included.

For just the wedding it's $55 a person or if they want to come for the full day it's $88 a person

Awesome review, I'm so glad that you had such a positive experience and everything turned out perfect for you! Congrats!

I sent you over the dinner menus, you may have already received but just starting with this page for my catch up.

Congratulations, everything looked absolutely beautiful. I loved your bouquet and I'm soo glad to see a picture of one the resort did since I'm also requesting them to do mine and sent over pics so now I know it will turn out perfect!! As for the timing of your events, when did you have the ceremony and what time did the reception start?

My Fiance is wearing this cotton Ludlow Suit from JCrew, it's very light weight and hopefully won't be too hot for him on the beach. If so, than he will just take off the suit coat. His groomsmen is wearing the same pants with just a white button down shirt. http://www.jcrew.com/mens_category/suiting.jsp?iNextCategory=3

I also don't really want to give the bags over to the hotel, plus I believe they charge you like $3 or something like that per bag to deliver them to guests. My plan is to meet the majority of the group in the lobby when they arrive (since a lot of them will be taking the same flight on the same day) and pass them out than. And than the guests I don't see I was thinking of having drinks in one of the bars the night before and passing out the remaining bags at this point.
