AngBN, I also went with HDC. I'm excited to work with them. I loved their profile and the prices were reasonable. I see you're an April bride as well. If you don't mind me asking, what is your date and what resort are you getting married at?

This is a very helpful thread. I love this site

Unlike some of you lovely brides I wasn't so trusting. I actually picked my ring out 6 months into my relationship. I sent him the pic and told him where to find it when the time came. Funny thing is, my ring got discontinued the same month he purchased it. He got the last one. Lucky me

That was the problem my FI and I were running into when he was pro kids. Now we're on the same page. So I think we will be good.

LOL, I feel the EXACT same way. Not to mention every PERSON (adult or child) has to be accounted for in regards to food.

 

OMG!!!!I I freaking love it. That is uber cute and creative. Also, I would have done the same (for my friends with new babies). Honestly, we don't mind a few kids and weI understand those who may not be able to get a sitter. However, what we don't want is a bunch of kids running around and not being supervised. Unfortantely, past experiences have shown that when parents get in big group settings they sometimes have a tendency to let their kids loose. Ain't nobody got time for that. LOL Beside we'll be drinking and I want everyone to have a good time and not feel restricted by the presence of kids. Our kid will be supervised by his grandparents and his mom. HaHa.

It's crazy, you don't want to offend anyone but at the same time it's your event. If all else fails I will put adult only. However, I want a clever way of saying it without straight out saying it. That's the "people pleaser" in me. It doesn't come out ofen but every now and again it does. LOL

My FI and I are planning on having an AHR a month or two after we return from our DW and although our son (the "bestman") and my niece (the "maid of honor") will be present we would like a kid free (as possible) reception. However, I'm not sure how to word it on our save the date/invitations without offending anyone. Any suggestions from those who have planned their AHR and also chose this option would be greatly appreciated.

 

OMG!!!!! Yes, the rates are extremely high but I think we got a decent deal for our guest. I am sooooo excited about staying at HRPC. I hope you get a chance to visit in your near future.

I absolutely love this website and b/c of these forums I have gotten some really good ideas, useful reviews, and needed information. I am excited to say I booked HDC and I look forward to working with them.

 

Thanks KerriAnn5, that was very helpful. I plan to do lash extension before I get to the DR and my sister is doing my makeup. So, my only worry has been my hair. However, my Dominican stylist here at home said I should no problems getting my hair styled how I want even with resort sytlist. I hope she's right ;-)

I also love finding good deals especially free. LOL. Thanks brownsugarbride

First, I would like to say congrats as both of your weddings are quickly approaching. Second, can you PLEASE let me know how you liked the services from the HR salon? I am also a HR bride and I'm a little worried about my hair. I have my make-up handled but I no idea what to expect in regards to my hair.

AngBN,

 

I got my Dominican blowout yesterday and my hairdresser (who is Dominican) said I should have no problem getting a nice hairstyle. She said there are soooo many different hair textures in her country that hairdressers know how to style all hair types. She said even the stylist at the resorts would know how to style all hair types. I showed her a pic of the style I want and she said that it would be easy and attainable. I'm still going to do my homework to find a stylist I like and hopefully we can email or Skype so she can see my hair and the style I want. Hopefully, this was somewhat helpful.

Any questions you have about once you get there please feel free to ask!  We did the complimentary collection and it was pretty.  Honestly the ceremony was so fast I couldn't see spending money on any thing else, plus it was just the two of us.  If I had a bunch of other people coming I may have splurged. 

 

Thank you. We also choose the complimentary package. We have some guest attending but no wedding party. I think the complimentary package will be fine.

I just wanted to say a quick thank you to those who helped in regards to my photography questions. We decided to go with HDC. I'm excited to be working with them.

Me 2. Can't wait for the moive.

By the way I like your name. Are you a 50 shades fan?

AnaSteele58, thank you. I have definitely thought about the storage bag as a way transporting my dress. I will make my final decision once I talk to the airline. If I'm able to carry my dress on and store it safely I'll do that but if not I will be using your co-worker's method .

 

How did that work out for your co-worker?

No problem.

 

That is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

AngBN I don't have any information about any of the local hairdressers. However, I get Dominican blowouts from time to time from a Dominican lady in my city. I am planning on scheduling an appointment with her in the next week or two. I will be asking her if she know of any good salons in the DR and also any recommendations for my hair since she's familiar with the texture (of my hair) and the weather in the DR. I will let you and any others interested in what she has to say. Lonita

Thanks for that tidbit of information KerriAnn. Hopefully, I don't run across that problem. Okay, have any of you wonderful ladies booked your hair appointments yet? I figured my make-up out but have not figured out what I will be doing in regards to my hair. Any suggestions would be wonderful. Has anyone heard anything about the salon in the resort, Moon Beauty?
