I love the up-lighting within the pantry, was this arranged through the HRH or separately?
Also were your flower table decoration/table and chair covers and candles arranged through the HRH or by yourselves...if so what was the company?
What type of music did you have, band/DJ or own music?
I hope this isn't too cheeky, but I thought as you have been there and got the t-shirt, you are best placed to help a fellow Florida bride out.
Thanks

Hi Amy
Not a problem at all. We used Carrie from Destination Occasion for mostly everything as Carrie was our wedding
planner.
In answer to each of your questions:
Uplighting - this was arranged directly through HRH. But it's not cheap by any means but I'm so glad we did it as it really changed the look of the room. I think they can do most colours.
Flowers - these were all done by Flowers by Lesley - but all arranged through Carrie and we met with Lesley the year before to discuss. Although I kept changing my mind and we just sent pictures of things we liked and she made up all the flowers arrangements to what we wanted. Carrie provided the vases, ribbons, candles, mirrors and bling. I provided the pink scatter crystals - got them through ebay.
Chair Covers - again these were provided by Carrie for both HRH and Cypress Grove.
Music - once again Carrie helped us on this. She provided a really good speaker system to which I docked our Ipod (obviously at a cost to use her system but not expensive). We compiled all our music prior to leaving the UK but also gave the list to Carrie as a back up. We then just docked the Ipad and let it play. That way we got all the music we wanted and it worked absolutely perfected. We had a list of music to play whilst eating, a list of dancing music and list of ones we had to play at the end. Plus a back up list in case we needed more music.
I hope that helps and please feel free to ask away anything else. Carrie was fantastic and if you haven't already got in contact then you should as she's there and make sure you day runs absolutely perfectly without you having to worry about a thing.
