  1. This was great! I love the videos because you can see a little bit more of what the resort is like
  2. Joy Folie is the designer. There are some cute adult things on there, but it's mostly super cute kids clothes, shoes and accessories https://joyfolie.worldsecuresystems.com/accessories

  8. This is such a great question. I love reading everyone's reasons for having a DW FutureMrsNamysl I wish you and your FI the best in his recovery, you are a strong woman. My FI and I decided to have a DW for a bunch of reasons. - We knew we both wanted a DW so that we could create a memorable week or weekend with our closest families and friends, and had been looking into renting a large vacation home where we could just hold a wedding on the property. A friend of ours recommended having at an all inclsive resort instead and we were instantly sold. It allowed us to create all of the fun memories with everyone but without the stress of food, wedding planning, setup, etc. - My FI met online. I am from Southern California and he is from Ottawa, Canada so our families are spread out all over the two countries. No matter where we hold our wedding people will have to travel to attend. We love to travel so we decided why not have everyone go someplace different, so it could be a vacation for us and all of our guests. - As harsh as it sounds, we each have a lot of family members we have to invite out of obligation, but don't really want attending. We want to have a wedding with people we really love and care about, and who want to be there for us not for free food and booze, or because they feel obligated to attend. - We also knew that we would be able to get more for our money. Since we are paying for our wedding for ourselves and don't want to put it all on credit that was key for us. We each have had a lot of cousins getting married recently who are spending 50K plus on weddings that are only for a few hours. Whereas we knew we could have a DW and spend 7 nights with our favorite people for half of the price.

  10. Once you get the flowers from the florist outside the resort or in the lobby, how do you get them set-up? Are you supposed to take them to the wedding coordinator, how does it work? What do you tell the coordinator when you're meeting with them to go over the wedding day set-up?
  11. Does anyone have pictures of the different types of chairs? I know what the Tiffany ones look like, but I'm unsure about the Versalles, Bamboo and Avant-garde chairs. Thanks
  12. Yeah we're bringing our own photographer (my BFF is a professional photographer), so that is covered for us also. I'm nervous about the cost of flowers too, we're thinking of trying an outside vendor for that. I've seen a few posts on here that there are some good cheap florists who will deliver to the hotel, fingers crossed that will help. I'm not sure about the dj time though.
  13. Thanks so much shannonmarie It would be great if you could share the final prices after your wedding. Yeah, it definitely isn't as inexpensive as we initially thought it was going to be, but so much better than having a wedding here. I feel a bit relieved from what you wrote, that falls in line with what we were thinking. I was starting to get nervous that I was underestimating the additional costs, whew!
  14. I don't know if this is too personal, but I was wondering if some past NJ brides would be interested in sharing their TOTAL wedding cost (including everything: hotel costs, airfare, wedding dress, alterations, clothing, jewelry, gift bags, decor, etc.). My FI and I have set a budget for the entire wedding all the way down to the kennel for our dog for a week, and I am just wondering if the amount we came up with is reasonable. Everyone on here talks about how things keep adding up and it makes me a bit nervous. We are anticipating 50-60 guests. If you don't feel comfortable posting it but could send me a personal message that would be fine too. Thanks for any help/reassurance.
  15. Are there any Ottawa area brides out there who would be interested in getting together for coffee to share wedding ideas? I'm from So. California my FI is from Ottawa. Most of the planning is being done from here in Canada on my visits to see him. I don't really know anyone else here, and I think I'm officially driving him nuts with all of the wedding talk, lol. We're planning a Riviera Maya wedding sometime in 2014 (date TBD).
  16. We plan to have 2 Is there something you really wanted, but had to give up because you are having/had a destination wedding?
  17. This is our little old man Stanley the love of our lives. I rescued him about 3 years ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made. He truly is the love of our lives He's the laziest little guy ever, but that makes for the best napping partner ever
  18. Hey kal520 Mine will be wearing the tank undershirts I think.
