Quote:Hi I'm new as well! I am currently in the process of trying to figureout which resort to decide on. Dreams Palm Beach and Azul are neck and neck. I am also a budget bride! I am currently working with destination weddings.com. I'm concerned that the quotes we've received for our guest is really high. Is this the norm? Any insight would be really helpful. Thank you!

I saw those photos of the (flags? sheets?) hanging from the palm trees and fell in love. Mercy said the only ceremony decorations that comes included in the "free" package are the white chair covers and ceremonial table, which is fine with me.. I'm not really into bows, or arbors, or what not. But those sheet things from the palms? GORGEOUS! BRILLIANT! I'm dying to know if that bride rented those, or just brought them herself (what material? where? who had to tie them to the trees?!) What a clean, crisp look. Love it! Also... I'm a total budget bride. Anyone else out there bankrolling this thing themselves? We need to share ideas. I'm definitely going to go for the semi-private dinner, but what after? Would it be fun just go to the disco? Has anyone seen the bonfire thing? I'm only going to have about 20 guests so, it's not a total big deal if I don't pull out all the stops, but I still want to have a WEDDING and have FUN! Anyway, I'm looking forward to stalking this thread for the next year or so...!
