awww thanks girllllllss!! you are all so sweet.

so the belt is ruled out

the bling at the seam where the skirt flares out...is also ruled out...

i think i shall go with the flower applique/brooch at the side....

i think it's not toooo too much...it balances:

Whoever said that the bling applique takes away the focus ...ur right....i think it kind of does....and because it's not centered it's kinda...off..sorta..kinda ... 

The flower applique is subtle and nice but still enough bling to shut me up LOL

alright!! i have decided....all your opinions helped THANK YOU!!  

awww thanks girllllllss!! you are all so sweet.

TealMarie; that looks good too...but i'm just not for a belt ...

thank u very much TealMarie and MelB  

that's the problem...i can't decide which one i like better....it looks elegant without...but calls more attention with....

this is a pic with a belt/sash....but i def am NOT for a belt

and here's a pic with a different type of applique...just a flower/brooch type of thingy:

Thanks all of you

 i did try on a belt :

but i am not a fan of it....something about it makes my upper torso part look "stumpy" (i'm weird I know)...

here's another pic of a flower type of applique:

i think it's cute .....and it doesnt over do on the bling.....

I need your opinions fellow brides!! I am a bling lover but when i first saw this dress on the internet, i fell in love...i love the simplicity and elegance of it...I looked and looked for it and finally found it and loved it even more when I tried it on. After waiting 5 months, the dress finally came in and I had my fitting last weekend and although i love it without any bling...i asked to pin on some appliques to see what it would look like. I still love it without the bling applique...but the rhinestone applique just adds more .... "umph" to it i think....i told the lady that i would think about it...and bring it back if i wanted to add it....i keep looking at the pictures and i'm not sure which one i love more! I wish i could ask my fiance for his opinion lol but it's just not an option.  So ladies,  help me out here! 

THIS IS THE DRESS AS SHOWN ON MODEL 

THIS IS THE DRESS ON ME:(SANS APPLIQUE)

THIS THE DRESS ON ME WITH THE APPLIQUE:

AND LAST PIC WITH A CLOSER LOOK AT DETAIL OF APPLIQUE:

SO WITH? OR WITHOUT?? 

THANKS IN ADVANCE

I did go through my emails and drag and dropped the information we had previously signed. It was a honest mistake and it was corrected. Something like that puts me in a whirlwind but it is all okay at the moment. So you're saying there is a garden gazebo and an ocean facing gazebo. Are the views the same?

hmmm not sure if the views are the same......the beach gazebo has the beach in the background ..not sure what the garden view one looks like to be honest. I would assume it's around more greenery than beach....

THANKSSS!!! i just bought this as well amazing deal

hi bride2b1130  ; i think it goes by whatever you signed...so if at the time u signed up for the crystal package for 20 ppl, that's the agreement that should be kept.  I know I have the silver package which includes up to 20 ppl as well but brides after me say there's a max of 8 only.  So i guess that just changed within this past year.  Your best bet is to go back through your emails and see what she sent you and save that and bring it to her to show her at the time of your wedding so you don't get charged more. 

Also, it was the beach gazebo I was wondering about.  I know there's a garden one but it's all good.  A bride who got married there earlier this year helped me out already...so 30ft it is thanks

Hi GeneMartin! Yes I understand that u walk that whole path but I'm only looking to lay out the aisle runner from the light posts (which I can see are just ahead of you in your last picture) to the bottom of the steps up to the gazebo. So that's the measurement (approx) I'm looking for. Thanks so much n congrats!

Hello GPPC brides! Does anyone know roughly how long the aisle is at the gazebo?? I need to know for my aisle runner. Please let me know! I don't need exact measurements. Just an estimate. I asked Carolina and she said 13m or 42 feet. But that seems WAY too long to be true. I don't think she understands that I only want the runner to be as long as the guest seating up until the bottom of the stairs. I've attached a pic with a diagram of what the measurement I want.

I am going to put advil and immodium in little bags because it is alot cheaper. I have already made little labels through vistaprint but I probably would have bought the baggies at dollarama if I had known.

Hey MsCD; what brand of hand sanititzer did you buy at Dollarama? I've seen the 3 pack of sanitizers but never the 6.   

thank you Gene that's awesome...something to keep in mind

Congrats Jessica!!! your pics look LOVELY.  (i'm pretty impressed with PhotoShopCaribe now) did you hire them for videography as well??.....looks like you had a wonderful day....thank u for that review You are the 3rd or 4th bride that says paying $1000 for the private dinner just isn't worth it....FH and I really wanted to go for a more "private" affair but I mean, did you even notice the other guests in the restaurant?  were you able to do speeches?  I'm kind of leaning towards just a semi-private dinner now   Anyway....congrats...all the best and thank you again for providing that review with pics

Hi Meandhim! We hired the photographer from the hotel, "photoshop caribe". Christian Stern was our photograph and he was good. He gave us little hints so as to make the pictures look perfect. We went with the basic package, which covers the ceremony and a little session with our group and just the two of us. We gave him a list of pictures that we really wanted i.e my parents and I, my husband with his family... And then he used his imagination for the rest of the session. We also went with a videographer, again went with the basic package which covers the ceremony only however, since he showed up 30 minutes late, he stayed and covered the whole photo session with no extra charge. Then you get a dvd and he included all the songs that played during the ceremony. That was money well spent and we keep watching it!

To answer your other question, we didn't bring any decorations besides our cake topper. I bought fresh flowers to put on our cake. I had personalized brought gift bags(ordered on Vistaprint) for our guests and i had contacted a local rum place called Mi Amor Pirates Rum to order personalized rum bottles for everyone. They are AWESOME! The owner came to deliver the bottles directly to our lobby. Great service, here's a picture

If have have other question, don't hesitate

hey Gene!!! those bottles are amazing!!! how much did they charge you if u dont mind me askin ??

jenmheadrick ; ALL those decorations (chair covers with sashes, white drapes on gazebo, head table flowers) were included in the silver package????

Your pics look lovely!!!! how long was your ceremony?

congrats JESSICA! I'm sure it all went smoothly!! but yes pleaseeeee tell us MORE! lol

thank you so much Melissa!! I took at look at both of the emails and wow...quite pricey I'd say!! But I guess because they are mostly made with real fresh flowers. But still....anyway...I guess I'll be bringing more of my own stuff ! lol Thanks!!  

Hey! I was married in January and I have a couple e-mails from Carolina with pictures of centerpieces and prices. I can send them to you if you want to give me your e-mail address!

hey ladies....can anyone tell me what options the resort has in terms of center pieces? and how much they charge? I have some centerpieces I will be taking but I need some "flowery" add ons.  thanks
