We are getting married at the dreams palm beach in November, they have been great to work with so far I fell in love with pics of the resorts and other wedding photos I saw.

We are expecting around 40-50 people total including kids. All in we are budgeted around 15000-17000 depending what the Canadian dollar is like at the time we make final payments and the final tally of guests. That includes 4500$ travel expenses for us and our daughters.

I have thought about what I am purchasing but tabled it until later.

I got my girls ray ban aviators, parasols, and 3 stacking rings (gold, silver and rose gold) might also do bridal party robes if budget isn't too tight.

Nice gifts....can you post pictures

 

 

Not pictured is the parasols, now I'm just trying to decide if I am going to do the robes, or not. I will put everything in a little beach bag or something.

Hi MrandMrsBonitto2016,

 

We chose the Platinum Package as we wanted maximum coverage time. We also liked the idea of having a hyperlink available that people could access after the wedding to check-out our pictures. We did not want any prints as we could print our own later at home at a great quality and a reasonable cost and most importantly have the time to really look at all the pictures & choose what we really like. We also secured a local person at home to do our coffee book -- again we would be able to take our time and really work with our local person to have a coffee book we really want.

 

We did also book the TRASH THE DRESS session -- lotsa fun and some really unique shots in the water.

 

We got married on a Monday, scheduled TRASH THE DRESS for the Wednesday (I saved my flowers and used them again) and then met with Arnaud Friday morning to see the digital prints and hand over payment. Worked out really well.

 

Hope this helps!

Murray + Irene - Toronto

We are going with HDC and the platinum package with one extra hour of coverage. (7 hours total) glad to see someone else who was happy with this package!

Has anyone had the experience of dropping a lot of weight before getting married and then needinfg to get the dress altered? I'm a little worried b/c I'm gonig to start working out with a trainer this month, but am not getting married until Jan/15. SHould I buy a dress in my current size or a smaller size?

I am currently losing weight and ordered my current size yesterday, I know I will lose more weight so I am prepared to pay the alteration cost on whatever it may be. My consultant said they can alter up to 8 dress sizes in changes.

We went with chiffon, they are heavier than I thought they would be but I guess they can sweat a bit right along side me lol

Me too

Me too

I think you can pick whatever day of the week you want, I didn't even look at the day of the week when picking my date

We are doing a symbolic ceremony with my BIL being the officiant so we decided our own order of ceremony by doing online research of sample weddings. If you are having a legal ceremony there I would ask your coordinator for their standard order of ceremony.

Congrats! I'm a DR bride too. Getting married in November at the Dreams Palm Beach, I fell for the resort early on and have been happy with my planning and communication with them thus far. I have heard great things and looked at 100's of pictures online of the resort and weddings held there. HTH happy planning

Our final payments for our group is due in September. So we set an RSVP by August. I will mail out invites beginning of May, 3 months prior to RSVP due. Not sure if that is the norm, but that is my plan.

Aww these pics make me feel happy. Can't wait to share one of my own

So many cute ideas. I've decided mine already but I wish I had seen this before I did because I love some of these!

Chiffon here too, they are a darker color so I really wanted something that flowed.

I felt this in the beginning, I'm not an overly patient person to begin with. I wanted all the answers right now. But it takes time and things will fall into place one at a time, you have so much time. Happy planning!

My dress will not be tiny, so I'm a bit worried about how it will manage on the plane. I have asked my closest family to minimize carry on luggage so that I can fit in the overhead if need be.

We are toying with the idea of having a cigar roller at our reception for the first hour of the dance.

My bridal party is walking to everything by life house, and I will be walking to a thousand years by Christina Perri.

Yes, we have about at least 6 maybe even up to 12 kids coming. Our daughters will be almost 4 and almost 1 at the time.
