We ordered a three-tier, which was too much, but my husband’s parents weren’t able to make it to the wedding since his father is ill, so we ended up sending the top tier of the cake to them through my aunt, so they could have a piece! And on our last day at the resort, we had the whole group up to our room for coffee and cake, so it all worked out! They just put it in a freezer for us and delivered it to our room for us along with the coffee and some plates!

aww congrats! wow you look Amazing! looove your pics! so happy for you

im glad to hear someone finally say that they liked the cake! What kind was it?? thats cool that they saved it for you to eat later! i like that.

can I also ask you what your music was for the ceremony? did you have a few different songs?

thanks so much for the review! all of us future brides cant wait!

Thanks so much! I really enjoyed the beach location, it just depends on your preference and of course the weather! When we picked the beach location, Cecilia indicated that this would be the Tower beach, unless it was too windy, and then it would be located on the main beach. I think the tower beach would be a little more private, so that's probably why that is the first choice. As long as you don't mind kicking off your shoes and having the sand between your toes, then I think the beach is a great choice! Good luck with your planning!

Thanks for your comment!! We had a blast!! In terms of my hair, since it was such a windy week, I was concerned about having my hair down, but in the end decided to stick with it since that is what I had envisioned. She put LOTS of spray in my hair so it held up pretty good. It did get in my face a few times, but it wasn't bad at all. It is windy on your way up to the gazebo, but I found that it wasn't as windy once you are actually up there. I loved how it turned out and I'm happy I decided to stick with what I liked. I did however decide not to go with the veil, and instead put some flowers in. By the end of the night, the curls got more relaxed but I think that's to be expected.

Not sure if you know of this site, Project Wedding - Wedding planning, wedding vendor reviews, wedding photos, and more!, but I found it really helpful when looking for hairstyles, makeup, etc. Good luck!

Thanks for the kind words! The cake that we ordered was vanilla, however there were layers in between, so I'm not sure if it was actually the vanilla or if it was the layered cake? It was sooo good though, everyone loved it!

This was our song list for the ceremony, a lot of mellow/beachy songs. The song I walked down the aisle to has special meaning to us
