Well here it is.....the long awaited dress pictures!!! I sure hope that the photographer can do a better job than my mom, I am not so photgenic and feel like I look a bit frumpy in these pics but we are always our own worst critics aren't we? So, the dress is short in the front and long in the back. It's hard to see, but I had her sew a starfish on to the bow....I will get a better pic of that later. The top is sheer with a drop waist. She had to put new bra cups in so I looked like I had a little something up top!!! As you can tell from the face forward shot we didn't get the back corseted quite tight enough but you get the general idea! I love it and think it's the perfect dress for a beach wedding!!! YAY!! -

Girl you are not alone!!! I think at some point most if not all of us have had some sort of guest drama. I finally said the same thing you did, if they haven't told us they are coming by the time we make our final payment then no eats for them because I am going to spend my time prepping for the best day of my life, not beating myself over the head to figure out who's going to show up!! My supposed "best friend" has waffled back and forth so many times and still hasn't even put in for a passport but still tells me not to count her out....I'm like WHAT?? So, whatever! My FI and I will be there and the 14 guests who are confirmed and paid - that's all I need to know. Don't sweat it and just keep planning as if they are not attending. If they let you know too last minute and miss out on the goodies (dinner, OOT bags, etc) that's on them. Take a deep breath, have a drink and just keep swimming

I got sarongs from www.meritline.com for $3.19 or $3.99 each. They come from China, but totally worth it!! Took about 2 weeks, but I had time!
-
I found the sarongs at www.meritline.com for like $3.99 a piece!! Just type sarong in the search bar and they will pop up. I ordered 8 different ones so we would all have something different. For some reason my leopard one got cancelled and I got a different one - somehow I did that - so I am reordering and hoping to find something on here for the men.....just can't decide what!! Can't beat that price for sure!!
-
Good morning ladies!! I need help with something......I bought sarongs for all of the ladies attending and I am going to put them in their OOT bags. I wanted to come up with a cute little saying to put on the tag......any ideas??? I am also having a terrible time coming up with an idea of something to include for the men, so any ideas for that would be great as well!! Ok and lastly I wanted to get some koozies, but since there are only going to be 16 of us I don't need 300 koozies. Any suggestion where I can get them in bulk but not that bulky Thanks so much for all of your help!!!
-
Congratulations and welcome home!!! I'm glad to hear everything went so well and I cannot wait to hear your review and see your pictures!! I hope your friends wedding turns out great in spite of what's happened so far. Enjoy your next trip!!
-
Wow, beautiful bride and great pictures!!! Thanks so much for sharing, they really turned out great!! I love your dress too, it is so elegant!
-
I really wanted the BBQ buffet, but just could not justify paying for 30 people when there will only be a total of 16 of us. So we decided to go with steak and lobster We are still not doing a cake, I can't understand why they want $85 to feed 6 people cake. No thank you!!!
-
These are great!!! Thank you so much for sharing. I feel much better about my choice now and I did go with a bit larger package in order to have more time for my photo booth type pics and the donkey. I am getting married at the same gazebo! YAY!!! You have really eased my mind. 8 weeks to go and I am SOOOO excited.
-
Well, mine's not ready The bra cups came in and they were nude, not white and the top of my dress is sheer so they need to be white. New ones should be in tomorrow, but I'll be out of town until Monday so next week it is.....I hope!!! Totally bummed, but at least I still have 2 months.
-
YAY!!!! I will keep my fingers crossed, when are you going to pick it up??
-
Picking up my dress tomorrow!!! Pictures to follow!!!!
-
Thank you sooooo much!!! These are great and they don't look to be retouched, so I think I'm good other than deciding if I want more time or not. With only 16 of us don't think we need a ton of time, but just worry that with 3 hours we might miss some of the good stuff!!
-
Has anyone else used Caribe as their photographer? I was just hoping to see some photos of others who have used them. I just so can't decide what I want to do about pictures.
-
No, I actually only have a MOH and he has a best man. We are only having 16 guests, very small!! But we are still doing the private dinner at the health bar with a sit down dinner and a visit from the donkey They do have some longer packages available from Caribe, I just don't know if we need more than 3 hours. 3 hours = 350 unedited pics......that's also a concern. If I go with a larger package I get some retouched photos......I just don't know which way to go but I appreciate the input!
-
No, I'm not really interested in the getting ready pictures and we are nto doing the first look so the 3 hours starts when the ceremony starts.
-
Ok, I have Caribe booked for a 3 hour package and have them starting at the ceremony. Is that enough, too much, not enough.......I'm just not sure how long we should have them.
-
That's awesome. Caribe has really done nothing for me. In fact I haven't even contacted them directly. I did ask for a mixed package and they were not willing to do anything special. I may need to look at changing if this is the case.
-
Have you guys noticed that none of the recent emails have free items? Do you think they did away with the free items? I really need brochures, but hate to pay for them knowing I got the first set free. Guess I shouldn't complain, but hard to justify $30 after paying nothing.

I tried to get Sarani for my wedding, but she was already booked when I started looking back in July. We actually met with Caribe when we did our site visit in September and I really liked the photographer and the sample books they brought were of un-retouched photos and they were better than what I expected. I want pics, but I didn't want to spend a fortune so I liked the photographer and the price was great so win-win for me. If you don't like what they have on their website though I would try someone else. Amanda had Sarani and her photos are amazing so you def get your $$ worth if you can get her. My wedding is in April, so not sure how soon you want to pick but I will have our photos before we even return and can make sure you see them. Hope that helps a little!

It is probably because they already have Gazebo 55 booked, but if that's the one you wanted I would ask. We are getting married at D'Italia Casita because it is right on the beach and we only have 14 guests. It is right across from the Italian restaurant but it is on the very far end of the Casitas, so not set back like the others but a beautiful location. We are then having our reception at the Health Bar. There are just so many options and all great options, so just pick what feels right for you. The Health Bar is also down on the Casitas end and not secluded from guests, but we did a site visit and it was our favorite location right across from the beach. Hope this helps a bit and I would still ask your WC about 55.
