I love the Bee site, but I am feeling kind of lonely here. I am so happy for all the Brides out there, but I am also feeling kind of left out here because I am planning a destination wedding in Venice in 2009. So, I just wanted to see how many of us DW brides are out there to give myself and others a supportive boost. Are you a DW bride too?
Venice...ohh I'm sooo jealous! I'm getting married in Hawaii, planning from the East Coast. Although I did used to live in Hawaii, so I'm not totally in the dark, but it still presents its challenges! Maybe 5 guests are from Hawaii, for everyone else it will be their first time on the island. Maybe destination brides should have their own board?!
I'm a destination bride too...we are getting married in Isla Navidad Mexico next April. We are relying totally on contacts with our resort and travel agent to help implement what we want for our wedding...casual, fun, and intimate...with a touch of glam! Right now I am in the process of trying to find the right destination dress...what are y'all planning on doing for a gown?
Destination bride here also! We're getting married on Grand Cayman in December 30 (133 days away!). We've been to the island five times in the past several years for family vacations, so we're all familiar and comfortable with the island.
My main headache is airfare! We had about 45 people booked and ready to go until two months ago, when Spirit Air pulled its service from Detroit. Now we have 15 people without tickets and airfare is SO high right now. Their flights on Spirit were about $600...you can't find anything for less than $1000 these days. Argh!
Re: NDTexas -- my gown is Nicole Miller, style CO0025. I highly recommend Nicole Miller dresses. Great prices, casual but glam.
I'm loving Miss Sea Breeze's posts. Yay DW brides!
Another DW bride here! We are getting married on Isla Mujeres, Mexico in Jan. '09 with planning from Oregon! I decided to *gulp* not go the resort route, and have picked a private home on the beach for the ceremony and reception site. Its been quite a chore brining in ALL outside vendors! Thanks for the posts and support fellow DW'ers!
