  1. Thanks B2BDebbie! And thanks to everyone on the nice compliments We were so happy with the whole experience and LOVED our photographer/photos. I'm so excited for all the gals who are planning their weddings. You are going to LOVE IT!!!!! I swear, every bride should do a Destination Wedding We had a very small number of guests - only 11 people total, so we did a HUGE "At Home Wedding Reception" at our Ranch in California for 130 people. That was WAY CRAZIER to plan than our actual wedding in PDC BTW - I wore my dress into the ocean for TTD, and I "cleaned it" - by putting it in the big jacuzzi hot tub in our room. Just filled it up, stuck the dress in, and turned on the jets! It got all the dirt and sand and ocean water out. LOL! Then just "hung dry"....my mom pressed it when we got home and it was perfect enough to wear for our First Dance at the At Home Wedding Reception. I don't think that would have worked with a real silk dress though.....
  2. I did my own make-up. All Bobbi Brown make-up Thanks for the compliment! Hair was done by Spa Azul (resort) The hair pin is a pave rhinestone hibiscus flower...I searched FOREVER for it. I WANTED exactly that, but it took me a TON of research to find the perfect one. Got it here: http://www.glamgal.com/b4008.html
  3. Ooops, I put these as attachments, which I can't even open (says I don't have permission) Let me try to imbed them? I'll post more later..

  5. THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER FOR FANTASTIC PICS ON A BUDGET is who I just used: LuzMaria Avila http://www.luzmariaavila.com/category/weddings/ For $750, I got 4 hours of coverage, starting in my room with getting ready, some classic portraits, then the ceremony, then normal "beach pics" with family and wedding party...then a TRASH THE DRESS session! it was AMAZING!!!!! This included about 200 digital pics, a professional video slideshow to our wedding song, AND, a handcrafted GORGEOUS wedding album with all the best photos. PLUS, she did this DURING our trip. She met us at the airport and delivered everything - DONE. She is AMAZING!!!!!! Here website is in the process of being updated, so our pics aren't up yet (we got married on 10.11.10) Here is our Wedding Video Slideshow to our Wedding Song (Two is Better Than One, by Boys Like Girls featuring Taylor Swift) http://video214.com/play/HVCPcnnE1IzYwCfRYJYhmQ/s/dark
  6. Wow - great job on the OOT! Love the bag, too. And all the goodies, and personalized tags, etc. Â This is a DUMB QUESTION....but we have 5 couples attending our wedding as guests. Only 10 people. Do I create a nice OOT bag (similiar to what you did) for EACH COUPLE??? Or EACH PERSON?
  7. Hey Wedding Buddy! I wanted to get 10.10.10, but it was taken (by you and probably several others) What a great date I'm the day after you, on 10.11.10  I'll be right after you!  I'm putting together my OOT bags but I have a problem, because I only have 10 guests. All the great advice for bags and items come IN BULK!!!!  So these great bags I was going to buy, come in a minimum of 25. So I have to pay for extra bags I'm doing a custom bag, like this one: http://myweddingreceptionideas.com/frosted_gift_bags.asp  In Clear color. Then using my wedding colors with Tissue Paper (Spring Green, Ivory & Dark Fuschia). Inside, I'll have a little "goodie kit": I had custom labels/stickers created to put on travel sized bottles, which I'll put SunScreen inside. Then I may include stuff like: chapstick, alka-seltzer, aspirin, gum (might do custom label) etc. And I may include a pair of cheap rubber flip flops. Still working on it!
  8. Sarah - OMG, the orchid was my EXACT COLOR INSPIRATION!!!! That's how I chose my colors. I love this orchid, so I chose my wedding colors from this flower. And I'm using it as my bouquet (along w/ green hydrangea and some cream cala lily) http://www.wholeblossoms.com/img/productos/Vanguard.jpg  My wedding shoes (the fancy ones, not the flip flops that I'll wear on the beach) are dark fuschia And my dress is like a champagne color. It's called "Light Gold"...it's warm and beautiful and very flattering for my skin tone.  Have fun planning! I'll post pics when I have them Â
  9. Hey "Oct.9-10-11 Crew" Â My main wedding colors are 'spring green & ivory' with a 'dark fuschia' accent. I don't have any fun tumblers planned, but maybe I should order some? If so - mine will be green! So between the three of us - there will be turquoise, pink and green tumblers running around the Royal PDC that week! Â Now to go find the Sand Ceremony stuff and start getting the actual vows/copy put together for the "flow" of the ceremony! Â
  10. Luna - me too! I've been trying to find good Unity Sand Ceremony vessels (vases or frames where you can pour the sand in) Â Misglave - THANK YOU for the Etsy tip! I didn't see any sand ceremony stuff there when I looked earlier, but I'll check again. Â Luna - my WC said we just need to give them the vows/script for the Officiant to read, or if you two are reading it. And bring the "stuff" - like the vases, the colored sand, the ribbon for hand ceremony etc. Â Just tell them what you want to do and when, and they do it. You can communicate it earlier, but they will take care of it, probably when you meet them onsite, just before the wedding. Â SAND CEREMONY QUESTION - When , in the ceremonly, are people doing it? We are doing a symbolic, simple short ceremony (non-catholic, non-denominational) and I'm not sure "when" the sand ceremony should happen. Any tips? Â Â
  11. Hey SMcKinney! yes, you me and RunningBride will all be there the same time! You first, then her, then me on 10/9, 10/10, 10/11 Very cool!!!!! I'll look for the fun bunch w/ the turqoise tumblers. also - since we arrive the morning of the 8th, I'll be able to see your wedding, too And then we can watch RBs You on the beach or gazebo or garden? I'll be on the beach at 4pm on 10/11/10 We only have 8 guests TOTAL...we were going to elope but the parental units, siblings and a couple friends wanted to come vacation Having a huge wedding reception at home, on 10/23....invited 125 peeps! That is WAY more planning than this little wedding on the beach!
  12. Hey RB! We are getting married on the beach at 4pm, the day after you! We arrive the morning of the 8th, so I'll look for your wedding on the 10th!! How fun - we'll be there the same time! I'm getting my hair done at the Spa. Need to figure out how to make the appt. I think I'll just call? I was gonna do my own make-up, but seeing the posts about MAC is making me think of using MAC. I love MAC make-up and I'm hoping they can do a great job. Still want to hear how that's done, though (go to the store? they come to you?) I dunno - I do make-up really well, so I may just keep it DIY and let the pro's do my hair. You are inspiring me to lose the 10lbs I want to lose! I ride horses and live on a ranch, so am very active. If I just watch what I eat, I know I can do 10lbs by 10/11/10 I can't go crazy with workouts ...no time. Will probably just do LeanBody for Her shakes for dinner. That should do the trick (along w/ no/low carbs in general)
  13. I need the Spa info for The Royal PDC, too. I feel like I should have booked my appointment already, but I have no info on it. Did you book the appointment for hair in advance? Did you call directly or did the WC do it? I'm a little over 2 months away, so I feel like I need to get that buttoned up. Thanks!
