Our wedding was on Isla Beach and we held our reception at the Element Terrace. Let me know if you need more info/pictures! . Thanks! Where did you get the baskets for the shoes from? Did the resort provide them?

But you guys have me thinking! What would something like this go for? $30? $50? Maybe I'll start taking orders

I def still want to do something like this. It's such a great idea. You could get cute vinyl letters (sticker packs) from Michael's or Joanns! Then you can mix and match styles too to get a similar look and feel
  6. I came up with this idea by blending together the new trend for chalkboard wedding signs, the “pick a seat, not a side†mentality and the need for something that would pack and travel well to a destination wedding. I completed it yesterday in just a few hours - detailed step-by-step instructions are on my blog here.
  7. We wanted a certain retro feel to ours so I did a ton of searching online for inspiration and then designed our own!
  8. You should just create your own on your own domain. I did mine!
  9. Since I used to design websites and I'm a blogger, I went ahead and just created my own. Let me know if I can help with yours! benandjeana.com
  10. Thanks Tammy! I was actually just at Moon Palace last week and did a site tour/inspection with both the sales manager and wedding coordinator. They both told me November (early - before Thanksgiving) was the end of their low season as that is when hurricane season officially ends (end of Nov). Regardless, I appreciate the insight on pricing and how bookings work. I am very interested in using your agency to assist in planning my wedding. I in contact with Virgilia currently - is this the correct person? Thanks again!!
  11. If you want sunset photos, i recommend having your ceremony 1.5-2 hours BEFORE sunset. if you have your ceremony at sunset, you wont have much light for your after photos...
  12. Is anyone on here using a travel agent to book their group? What incentives can you earn for large groups? (I'm thinking 50-75 guests...)
  13. Another idea I saw elsewhere is to get bouquets for the bridesmaids to hold for the ceremony, but then reuse them as centerpieces for the dinner! I thought this was a fantastic idea. Just pull sand in a tall cylinder vase with some sea shells and wrap a ribbon around the outside. Then just put in the bouquet and there are your centerpieces!
  14. The wedding packages don't look like they include cocktail party or the reception dinner. How much does that cost?
  15. do you happen to have a photo of what this looked like? Interesting idea!

  17. Curious how everyone chose to handle the group bookings for their travel. Did you just go through the hotel directly and sign their group contract? I was originally going to do so, but the group rate they gave me is pretty ridiculous. This is what I was given for November 2013 (SLOW season) All Inclusive AUG 25/13 - DEC 23/13 Room Type SGL DBL TPL QUA 5th. 6th. CHL Superior Deluxe - Garden View 343 191 178 172 61 Superior Deluxe - Ocean View 365 202 189 183 61 According to this, a room with 2 adults would be $382. On expedia, you can get the same room for $350. Also, if you book direct, by the chart above, 4 adults in a room would cost $688 where on Expedia - it's still just $350. Everywhere else charges PER ROOM, not per person. I hate to ask people to pay more money to go thru the hotel directly, but with a planned guest attendance of 100+, I need to make sure I earn the 75 room night benefits, and still allow everyone to get their resort credits, etc. So can I use a travel agent instead and are their rates more in line with Expedia/cheap caribbean? Are you still able to earn the function benefits/upgrades? Has anyone tried asking for a better group rate direct from the hotel?
