Bella Luna vs. The Roman
We can't pull the trigger on this! I'm hoping to put either a deposit or the full for the Bella Luna down later this week. How did you decide which package?
Better to pay the outside vendor fee and get flowers other than what comes in the roman package? I'm not sure 6 roses is going to cut it..I do plan on making the guys' bouts however. No attendants but definitely planning on corsages for the moms.
DVD of the wedding..necessary? I feel like I'd want it.. but I don't think its worth $450 more for a DVD...what is the DVD a la carte?
I don't think we'll stay at Caesars the whole time we are there, so the one night of accommodations might be more of a pain - moving here, moving there.
We are obviously a budget wedding - of sorts. How did you figure what was the better package?
Re: Bella Luna vs. The Roman
I am making all my bouts, my bouquet, and my bm's hairpieces (no bm bouquets).
I've seen the dvds of weddings and they are such poor quality, and if we buy it, it will still be considerably less than the Roman.
I also don't care to stay at CP, because I would rather stay at MB where all of our nightime activities are (House of Blues reception and a Vista Suite M&G). But even if we did it would still be cheaper than the roman.
If I were you I would go with the Bella Luna, because you can always add to it.
And you don't have to pay an outside vendor fee for silk flowers... since I have a winter wedding freal flowers are not important to me.
what seller are you using for your silk flowers? I'd love to see!
Thanks for your input! I've been leaning towards Bella Luna but wanted to see what others had to say about their decision!
Does anyone know what just the DVD would be?
I can't remember for sure, but I looked and I couldn't find the emnail where it says that.
I think it's on the website, though. Under weddings upgrades or something like that...
I just found it on www.cpweddingphoto.com...the video is $250, hmm...things to think about!
I've seen vids on youtube and they are pretty crappy. I'm having someone record ours and am making my own flowers as well.
Does anyone know what the oustide vendor fee is?

$200
I love our dvd, but if it's not super important to you, you could skip it.
If you are going to make your flowers or get them from etsy, not a big deal. If the dvd isn't a big deal then go with the Bella Luna.
Sounds like in your situation some of the added extras that come with the higher package aren't needed and even paying the outside vendor fee and adding the dvd you would still come out cheaper with the Bella Luna package.
@CamilleJon - your bouquet is gorgeous!!!
The DVD was super important to me! More so than photos! I would pretty much spend whatever on it and I would not get married at a chapel that didn't offer it. I know that sounds silly to some people but I want a video of our ceremony to watch on our anniversary and share with our friends & family that can't attend.

This is so true! I had to ask for it because on the website it stated that it wasn't available on Saturdays.
I agree with aegrish about the video. I will buy it, even though I hate to pay $250 for it.
