Married or going to be married at Grand Palladium Punta Cana?

[caribbeanLover]

She doesn't have an office, But I think if I don't get a reply by the end of the day, Monday I will be calling none stop!

 

On the good hand, The FI and I went out shopping for his suit, and we found one, and he got his shoes as well, so Goom attire checked off the list, wootooot!!

I hope everything works out and you get your photographs....what's the point of taking the time to take your pictures if the photographer isn't going to give them to you!! what a waste of time!!! If you look up boudoir photography in your area, quite a few will pop up!!

 

We have all of our attire, for the exeption of my FI shoes, we're good to go..We picked up my HOH dress last weekend..I posted a pick of it in the wedding attire section if you want to take a look at it!! the color is awsome and it fits my sister like a glove...can't wait till it comes in

 

I did my boudoir shoot on sunday!! it was so much fun, we had a beautiful day for it too, so we got some shoots outside at like 9, before the sun was way too brite, and before the neighor's came out....believe you me there would have been a show for them...lol We had a blast....My sister came along to do a shoot for her boyfriend, they turned out really good.....the photog sent us tasters, and I can't wait to see them all..The funny part about this, is my esthetician told me that her cousin by marriage, Chris, was looking to expand his portfolio, so we made the app. for Chris to do the photo shoot. I added him to my friends on facebook.....well he knows my FI!!!!! Chris worked with my FI a couple of yrs ago..... I would have paid money to see my face when he asked me how I knew Chris... So I told my FI that we were doing a photoshoot to promote my esthetician's bussness....he told me to keep my shirt on!!!! I laughed so hard, I can't wait till he sees the pics....what a small world!!! I can't wait to post some, as soon as I get some I'll keep you guys posted....so worth it, it makes you feel sexy and empowered all at the same time feeling naughty.....truly and awsome experience.....

BTW, I have inquired about the cost of a sound system (no DJ, just system) Carolina says it will cost $200 for them to set it up. Feels pricey. Mind you the post-dinner party is cheap, $9 a head for a bar and they set it up for free.

 

We've got Ipod speakers, but I'm not 100% confident they will be loud enough. I think we will take them with us and test them on the first day, then if they sound awful we'll shell out the $200. I guess that is what contingency money is for.

OMG! I leave in 5 days!

Congratulations Ottawa Bride! Thank you for the wonderful review. Your pictures are amazing! I've been MIA on this site for a while, kind of sitting back until the day gets closer, but you've renewed my excitement!! Can't wait to share your story with my FI.

 

Best Wishes to you!!

She kept on telling me that I didn't know what I wanted, but it was the opposite I did know and she didn't have what I wanted!!! eurghh!!!! anyway the first store at the corner, was good, I know a few people that bought there dresses there and got a good price for them. It's worth looking for sure. I got lucky for my dress, there was a sample sale from baroness bridal last june near the St-Laurent shopping center, the hotel beside the link's stadium and found my dress there. let us know how it goes for you, good luck on finding your perfect dress

Okay Gals... I found it! Not in Moose Creek (and I know exactly which lady you guys got... she tried to get me to order bridesmaid dresses in white instead). Anyhoooo....went to Montreal and found it at Sposa Bella. Its gorgeous... exactly what I wanted with Ruffles and flowers... and i ended up getting ivory -- it just looked nicer on me. I get it in March. Now we just have to get the bridesmaids organized and the FI and gang. And the great news this week.. we have close to 40 booked! Yahoo!!!

According to prices I've seen it is only $250 for the DJ? I agree that $200 is too much for them to set up a "sound system". I hope that is negotiable if you decide that you do need/want the system.
Best Wishes!
