Where is a good (cheap) location to re-new our vows? Any suggestions?

We are high school sweethearts and have been married for 11 years now. We have been through 2 deployments with the Army (Bosnia, Iraq) the birth of our son 8 yrs ago and 5mo ago the birth of our daughter who was born with half a heart.
I would really like to renew our vows after all we've been through and think its time. We are so blessed to still be in love... and I want everyone who has came into our lives to share it with us.

Thoughts, suggestions?

Trying to do this on a budget with the obvious increase of medical bills lately lol.. thanks!

does anyone know of any good hair and makeup artists near ormond and daytona beach? I'm having a destination wedding, so when I go for my trial, I prefer not having someone too far way from where I will be having it.

Grand Bohemian intimate wedding..

ehirschman — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:27:18 +0000

So I originally booked the WP Farmers Marker and after doing a lot of thinking and a lot of stress builidng(part of it due to me being nervous that part of my budget wouldn't come through), I decided to cancel the whole big(well 140) people wedding and opt for a small 25 person, almost all family affair.

We are now booked for the Grand Bohemian for 11/4/12!(exactly one year from the day he proposed).

I am extremly relieved (even though I didn't realize how big his family was so our 25 guests are 98% family if they all say yes).

So far it has been smooth sailing and I am not stressed 1 bit. Our officiant already met with us and gave us readings to look over, the ceremony music is covered and in the summer I just have to go do some cake tasting.

Since it is a small sit down(estate style table) dinner, I am probably going to swap out their table linen and add a table runner and a few small floral arrangements and then for the ceremony just add a runner and some rose petals.

I can't believe how easy this seems- hopefully it stays this way

Has anyone gone through an intimate wedding there or know anyone who has?(can't find any reviews online..) we are doing the sit down 4 course meal(where the 4th course is the cake).

Wedding Venue

jamaicangirl876 — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 02:05:23 +0000

Hello,

Does anyone have any information on the venue Costa D'Este? I really like the layout on their website and would love to get reviews on it but TK only has 1 listed review. It's by Vero Beach and just by reading up on it it says that it accomodates small gatherings like my guest list. Any information would be helpful!

Thanks.

Below is a list of what I have left. Buy separately or in a group. I'm putting the voucher worth in ( ) and = what I'm selling it for.

Party Flavors Cake ($500) = $350
Debra's Do's Makeup, Hair & Lashes for 5 girls ($775) = $500
The Flipbook People ($1,000) = $750
Demetrios Bride ($500) = $350
All inclusive Honeymoon for 2 in St. Lucia ($2,200) = $1,200

If you want to buy them all, I'm willing to sell for $3000.

Feel free to email me at tribecca212002@yahoo.com and I can answer any questions and give you my cell.

Hi Florida Knotties!

Invitations? Online or in store?

marichella21 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:39:18 +0000

I've been looking at invitations online and I like that you can get a whole set for a certain amount with the envelopes already made but I was wondering about in store printing. Has anyone found it to be cheaper to go to a printing store or online? Any places you would recommend in Orlando?

Need independent florist

mac1031 — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 03:18:30 +0000

Im having the flowers for my wedding donated/gifted to me. Does anybody know a florist that would be able to put my flower arrangements together the day before the wedding? Maybe someone with experience that can do it from home. I'm having a hard time finding a florist that would do it because they get more of their profit from the cost of the flowers... But since I'm providing the flowers nobody wants to take the job. Flower arrangements will need to be delivered in the Maitland, Fla area.

dance lessons?

ohsoashley — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 20:03:49 +0000

Can anyone give a good recommendation for a place to have dance lessons done? FI and I would like to have a choreographed first dance together.
TIA!

Looking for Bachelorette Party Limo Service and Bar Suggestions

rachel050182 — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 02:20:59 +0000

Hi Everyone,

I lived in Orlando for six years and have since moved back to Michigan. I'm the maid of honor in my friends wedding in Florida and am planning her bachelorette party. I'm thinking about renting a limo from A1 Limo Services, but I'm not sure if I want to go with them. Anyone have any feedback on their services? Are they worth the price? Any suggestions on other companies that I should go with? We are planning on going to the Blue Martini and the bride wnats to end at the Independent Bar...any suggestions on anywhere else we could go? I was a teacher when I was in FLA so I'm a little out of touch on the hot spots. Any ideas or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rachel

Hello :)

tmt2b — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 06:49:35 +0000

Hi ladies, am new to the knot and still on super overload with the thought process of everything i need to learn and do before my 2013 wedding. This is what i have so far, I know FI and i will be having an outdoor wedding at his uncle's house, he has 4 acres or property so there will be tons of room. I also know that the guest list will probably excced 200. My sister got married just over a year ago and as her MOH I had alot to do with the planning and picking of her vendors. So at this point I feel like I will be trying to reserve most of the vendors she had. first thing I am curiouse about is what are the size options for tints. I have a feeling i will need more than one because we will have all the table and chairs plus bar and dance floor under a tint and i dont think one will do. does anyone have any recomendations on rental companys for tints?

rehearsal dinner sites

jessmspt — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 21:49:01 +0000

Florist recommendations?

xos0inlove — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 00:08:04 +0000

Hello ladies,

I'm getting married 4/28/12 and I'm in search of a florist. I met with one back in December, but not sure she's who I'd like to go with. I'd like to get a few different quotes before making a final decision, but I know I need to decide soon! Can anybody recommend a florist in the Orlando area? I prefer not to spend thousands on flowers, so I would love any recommendations for a local florist that can work with a modest budget! Thanks! :)
