Beaches/Sandals Q

JessiiJ

Hello ladies! 

I've tried contacting the resort that FI and I plan to book with and I haven't gotten a reply yet, as well, I seem to be going on line at the wrong times as I can't catch their online chat rep! 

I haven't booked yet, but I was wondering if the colours of the wedding packages can be changed. Anyone know if this is possible? I don't want to throw my money into this if it's not going to be to my specifics, and as I said, it's proving to be difficult to get a hold of them.

Which one are you looking into.  I have the packages for my TA.  They are often not very quick to respond.  The online chat might not be very useful either since it is their booking reps that are on there not their wedding coordinator. 

Honestly I think going through a TA is much easier...if you want more information I have the floral brochures and stuff.  You can email me at Timandamanda0514 AT gmail DOT com.

[QUOTE]The beautiful beginnings is also extremely appealing, and I could inject bits of blue here and there (our mutual fave colour). It's just getting it there that will be the tricky part. Canada Post is super unreliable (as it is, we will not be depending on them for invite handling) and shipping with Fed-ex, UPS, or DHL from CAN is expensive (but worth it). To bring things, I'll look into that, but I think I'll be going over my baggage limit with my dress alone! I believe it's two suitcases and a carry on... if it's two, then i'll make sure the bigger one has all my additions. It's a beach for crying out loud, I wont need that many changes of clothes! LOL. But then again, Gawd knows what kind of restrictions they'll place next."No taffeta!" hmmm... stuff to ponder! :)

<div>I am getting married at the Sandals in St Lucia and I'm also using the beautiful beggings package.  I couldn't resist free. :)  I am using white and adding touches of pink.  You will find out that there will be extra "fees" for each package and it really just made sense for us to do the free one and do a few upgrades.  I am paying 150.00 for a set up fee.  This allows me to add additional things to each table such as menus and place cards.  </div><div>
</div><div>I think if you are creative you can find ways to add in your color and make it special.  Also with the other packages it was going to cost us 500.00 PER table to have them set up with the package details.  The BB was only 100.00 per table.  It's kind of stupid but whatever.</div><div>
</div><div>I hope I don't scare you but you should know everything is extra.  It just depends on how much you want to spend and how many people are coming.  For us it just didn't make sense. </div><div>

We're planning on Beaches Turks and Caicos, either the flutter of romance theme or the island paradise. My connection with my dad is all about butterflies, so the Flutter of Romance is more appealing but all that pink? BLEH! 

That would be super helpful! Thank you so much, I'll be emailing you shortly!

We're sticking with the Beautiful beginnings theme since it's easier to pick between white or magenta orchids (my fave anyway) and doesn't cost extra in the first place. I'm sure you could pick a less expensive theme and use your own stuff you bring or send there beforehand

There's always the fine print!! </div></div></div>

[QUOTE]Hi, I am also doing the flutter of romance theme!! All the pink is a lil overwhelming, I have decided to go with pink and teal. The ladies on here suggested adding a sash or jewelry that was pink to tie everything together. Good luck and happy planning!!
