Congrats to ThefutureMrsBrown! Nice to have you!

Goodtoglow,
It CAN be done! I know of a Easter Sunday Sunrise Service that has done just that! I will tell you, it is not set up in the typical location where most of the weddings take place, but it surely can be done! As for chairs, maybe you could do fewer chairs and some people stand? Might help with the cost and just a thought, not all people like to sit. Good luck and hope you are able to pull it off!

I haven't quite signed the contract yet, but I'm getting married on the terrace at the Wyndham Sugar Bay in March! It's gorgeous!

For those of you who have been there, do you think it is big enough to fit 70+ people? We really want to get married on this beach!

Just got married on Lindquist on June 6. It is a gorgeous beach. The area we did it was definitely not big enough for 70+ (we had 20, no chairs), but I feel that maybe further down the beach, you could possibly spread people out? If you want, I can send you some pictures of the beach, that may be easier to help make your decision.

Can you ladies recommend a florist in St. Thomas? Havana Blue has a florist they use but I would really like to check around for the best price. Any suggestions??

Hi Kelly~

I'm getting married in St. Thomas in November and am using a WC - Leslie Dawson. Found my florist through her and prices seem very reasonable. Good luck and let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Happy planning!

theFutureMrsBrown - They use East End Flower Shop, and they're really good. That's actually the same place the Wyndham AND the Waterfront Bistro use, and I've heard that's because they're pretty much the only florist on the island. That being said, they're very nice and responsive.
