Iberostar Rose Hall Brides - Post all info/questions here!

Did you wait until then to choose your ceremony and reception locations? I know the resort doesn't list a beach reception but does anyone know if it's possible?

Oh no I don't want to hear this lol. I thought once the two month mark hits, she immediately contacts you. I know if I don't hear from her at two months right away, I will be sending her an email. Because before you know it time will fly and it'll be your wedding day. Keep me posted Ms.Smith.

Just wanted to let you know that I have the 2011 rates for everything, and they are all the same as the 2010. The only differences are the change to Tai Flora as the florist and the addition of having a bonfire on the beach or a "fire dancer" on the 'Services with Extra Charge' sheet.

Daisy I read that the beach is an option that can be selected. It's one of the locations in the links that Ms.Green posted above in a previous posting.

Hi Tina,

Is there any way that you could send me the contact info for the Catamaran Cruise? Also, how much did you pay / person?

I'm actually paying for all of my guest to go on an excursion.  I rented a private Catamaran sunset cruise which includes transportation and snorkeling..  Happy planning.

I contacted both and have yet to hear from Tai Flora. Rosemarie from Flower studio got back to me in less than an hour with photos of bouquets in my price range. She is great to work with.

Rose Hall Suites Wedding Package Rates for 2010. I was never sent the rates for 2011,  but you can use the 2010 rates as a guide. They give rates for Flower Studio, but I have heard they are using Tai Flora, so you should probably contact Tai Flora for rates. Hope this helps with some of you questions!

All your hanging stuff they hang on buggy and put in new wardrobe and take bags over. I'm quite organized so I had all bags ready with toiletries in bathroom, shoes in the closet and suitcase at the suitcase bit all packed and ready to go. They transferred it and left things exactly as, couldn't even tell we were in a different room. It depends on where your guests are and who is helping you get ready. My husband and I stayed together to get ready and my auntie who was at the Grand helped me get the dress on (big struggle! lol) But my bridesmaids were not allowed into Grand as staying at Suites. Well they could have for a $30 charge but I was not fussed about it. There is more space and a bigger bathroom at the Grand so perfect if you and hubby are getting dressed together or if you have lots of bridesmaids. If you get all your stuff movable they could do it while you are at the wedding. They are so good, just do what suits you best. But it is honestly so smooth you wont even notice either way.

I've also been trying to get a hold of Nicole to give her my final details but have not heard back from her yet. I hope that she emails me soon..

How much does the bonfire cost? That sounds like fun!!!

 

JoAnn craftts store has an amazing sale for scrapbooking and wedding planning for the DIY brides!!!

[chan_porty]

Wow Jules!!

That sounds great!!! How much is it for bon fire party on the beach with fire dancers? Are you getting a DJ as well?

[Misee17]

Anyone have any thoughts on chair sash material...satin or organza??? I am looking at a hot pink/fuscia color, but don't know what material would look better.

[BridetwoBe]

I have seen some videography work of the beach weddings. I love the idea, but I know it is so windy! I am concerned because of hair and short BM dresses. Anybody want to share the experience with the wind outside? Is 5:00 pm the best time for the beach wedding with nice view for pictures and other hotel guests? So far, that is what it seems like.
