Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

My talk with Tiffany was ok. I asked her about the price difference between the lomas website and the spa menu and she told me its because not every lomas hotel has their own spa or something like that. Basically the resort can create their own pricing because it has an on-site spa. I did ask her about make up for my bridesmaids since that is not a price in the spa menu and she said she was going to check on that for me. I asked about what type of make up was used and she said all kinds ( pretty veg). I am half tempted to call my friend that work manages a MAC store in KC and have her help me pick out color and applying, etc... I do my friends make up here when we go out and stuff so I know I could do it, it just makes me nervous. I mean its my wedding day and what if i mess up. I will throw a fit!

Also, I think i am going to rent vases from the resort and then use my bride's maids bouquets as the flowers for the center pieces. Tiffany even told me I could bring my own rocks, or whatever I wanted to fill the bottom of the vases with and the on-site coordinator can help me make sure they are down before dinner. I remember some other girls using this idea for their center pieces and i think it will work out great.
Oh, and I am asking them to take the hanging corsages from the gazebo to our room after the ceremony. I figure I am paying for them and might as well enjoy them as long as possible.

All and all it was ok, just got to say on top of everything.

Did you ask her about the sheer $75 for each sheet of fabric do we get to keep it?

Amy,

 

Thank you for sharing the thread for the pre travel book. I am totally going to use some of the ideas out of here and use them. I won't know what to you without you girls.

 

Thanks a bunch!

awww Amy thank you!

yeah I know Amy would...I just haven't replied to any of the messages!! i am also very non-commital!!

but yay you all lovvvvvve me wooooo!!!!!

haha Amy you know me so well - I hadn't even seen your reply until after i did my last post!!

yeah I know you won't but I don't know what I've got to do half the time!! lol I just do things as I think of them!

lol and there's NO WAY i am doing better than you - I just have a lot less to do!! you're doing great!!

I am the WORST cryer EVER! I don't know what the deal is, but I cry at everything!

Man, not having an office job really makes me behind on these posts! I am going to catch up real quick.

Andrea, how much are the vases ??

I have a feeling the prices are all different for vases... I got quoted for 3 different sized vases per table and they are $10 each which is ridiculous but I'm not about to bring 21 vases with me =/

OK criers - here are some of the ideas I have googled:

 

1# Blink a few times and look into the light; this makes your pupils constrict and keep tears from falling.

2# Cross your eyes. This is also another way to prevent tears from forming.

3# Also, rolling your eyes works the same way.

 

Now, 2 and 3 might not be appropriate for wedding photos or even your hubbie might think you don't want to be there...

 

4# Yawn. Yawning helps to loosen the tight feeling in your throat that comes along with crying.

 

Again, probably not appropriate.

 

I am going to start this a month before I go:

Do visualization exercises. Lie down and close your eyes. Breathe deeply to relax. Visualize yourself staying strong in the middle of the sad or stressful situation. Study your tearless face. Do self-affirmations as you visualize. Say, "I will not cry" or, "I will stay strong" over and over until your subconscious believes it.

Amy, thanks for the research!!!

 

Oh man, I could ONLY imagine this going through my head while up there, blinking incessantly, crossing my eyes, rolling them and yawning, thinking of this may just keep me from crying
