Not sure about bridesmaids but your hair/makeup might be included in your package - depending on what package you get.

I can't tell you how excited I'm getting! All the details are planned! My centerpieces are done, flowers ordered, STD and invitations ordered, dress ordered, bm dresses chosen, And I just wish time would start going faster !!!!!

[bride2b10]

that's so exciting! Are you ordering all the centerpieces and flowers yourself? Or did you just pick already from what the hotel offers?

Hi Diamondpooch,
That' so exciting that you have everything done!
Are you bringing your centerpieces? I'm doing the Strawberry Passion package which only inlcudes one centerpiece so I'm unsure what I'm doing yet. I don't know if it would be cheeper me bringing stuff or just paying extra down there.

I am bringing my own centerpieces. I'm doing the Strawberry Passion as well, and the only "included" centerpieces I know of are the fruit and candle ones which I didn't really like in the pictures I've seen. So, instead of spending a bunch of money on real flower centerpieces that are going to last four hours, I decided to make and bring down my own centerpieces. I ordered fabric from ebay (navy and white damask pattern ) and I'm making runners with a navy border on top of the provided white table cloth. I'm using 20" tall square vases filled with lemons with small bloomed yellow flowers sticking out of the top. Two per table....one on each end. In between I'm alternating a stand alone lemon with a square candle holder with a candle inside. I'm just bringing them down in an extra suitcase. I don't want to chance shipping them down and getting them confiscated by customs. The end product will SORT OF look like this: just with the navy underneath. Oh, also I will have navy chair bows.

This looks beautiful!
Xhail hasn't sent me any pictures for centerpiece options. She keeps telling me that I have lots of time...but really I don't. If I don't like what they have then I need to bring something.

If anyone out there has pictures of the outdoor reception areas, can you please send them my way...... I need to decide on something but I haven't seen anything yet. If this has been in a past post sorry....I haven't been on here much in the past month.....work is keeping me busy....not to mention my 16mth old daughter who is full of energy at 6am.

Cheers!

Do any of you know how far out you are able to book? I've emailed Xhail but still have not heard from her and it's been over a week.

Well... I put my date on hold at the end of May (I am getting married in February). Then I confirmed after all the bookings were done in July. However, while February is high travel season, it doesn't seem to be high wedding season, so in your case as you are getting married in May I would put your date on hold sooner, like a year ahead. That way you are sure to get the date you want. All that being said, I wouldn't worry about it. I think they do up to 6 weddings a day.

Alright thanks, we want to book everything like very very soon, we've set our wedding out so far because of our schedules and in the months of crunch time I won't have any time to do anything so I'm trying to book everything over a year out. I just can't get Xhail to respond back.
