Re: Old Field Club Brides??

We're most likely leaving the dance floor where it is supposed to be. A 2010 bride put the dance floor in the middle and posted pictures. Did you see them??? If not, I can see if I can find them so you can see what it looks like.

We blocked off rooms at the Hyatt. Danford's was too expensive for us so the Hyatt was much more affordable. There's a website where hotels bid for your block of rooms and you can decline and do counter offers based on the other offers you get (the hotels can see the other offers you got so they know if they are price matching or not). That's what we did - we declined the Hyatt's original quote and requested the price of the lowest quote we received and the Hyatt ended up price matching the quote we got from the Holiday Inn. I forget the name of the website but I'll look it up and let you know.

I booked hair and makeup already with Cloe Vitale of High Style Bridal Makeup. She is a bit pricey but she has worked with celebs and has done lots of magazine work. I loved my trial with her and def think she is worth the money!!

Re: Old Field Club Brides??

We felt the same same about Danfords, we booked a suite at the Hyatt but haven't done the room block at the Hyatt yet. We're not sure how many rooms we're going to need. I would love to know the web site if you can find it!! What are your colors? Are you having your ceremony there?

We booked a suite at the Hyatt too...and we ended up blocking off 25 rooms so far. The website where hotels bid for your block is HotelPlanner.com. Don't be afraid to decline bids....just make your re-bid reasonable. I just took the lowest quote I had received from the site and used that to negotiate with the Hyatt. Also, the Hyatt was able to see all the other bids that I received. It took them a few days to offer a new bid, so I thought they were going to decline, but they didn't!!

My colors are deep purple and lightish pink. We're having all high cherry blossom centerpieces (I have a pic of my sample in my album). I can't wait to see what it will look like at OFC, with the high ceiling. What are your colors?? Are you having a theme at all?

We are getting married at my church so we aren't having the ceremony at OFC. I kinda wish we were though because it would be beautiful to get married right on the water. Butttt...my mom would kill me if I didn't get married in the church..haha. Are you having your ceremony at OFC???

Re: Old Field Club Brides??

I like the dance floor in the middle! I am not sure where they have the music, I wonder if it's by the fireplace. We're having a band and I really want the dance floor it in the middle but I don't know if it will be enough room!

We're hoping to have between 120-130 people! We're probably inviting around 140

Re: Old Field Club Brides??

I want to do Coral and Ivory with a touch of yellow, but when we went to OFC for the tasting, I saw their linens and they don't have coral

Kim said she could look into other linens but I never followed up with it. Are you doing the ceremony at OFC?

We don't have any booked for flowers yet, that's the next thing I'm starting to work on. I will gladly take any suggestions you have!

Re: Old Field Club Brides??

If you're planning to sit by the fireplace, are you putting the DJ/Band by the windows in the back?

Do you have a hair or makeup person yet? I am trying to get both of these done soon!

Re: Old Field Club Brides??

Are you doing high or low centerpieces? I think I'm going to do low because it seems like from all the pictures that's what everyone does.

Also before we booked I became obsessed with finding other wedding pictures from OFC so I have about 10-15 links with people's wedding pictures. FM me if your interested.

I also have a great photographer, I really wanted to pick someone who has already shot at OFC and was familiar with the venue. Let me know if you need a recommendation.

Yay OFC!!!
