Any 2011 Brides out there?

Hey 2011 Brides! I am super excited & had to share the news! We just booked our engagement pics for while we are in Cancun a couple of weeks from now! We are going to do site inspections at Gran Caribe Real, Cancun Palace, & Beach Palace while in Cancun. I will post any helpful information when we return! I really hope we fall in love with one of the resorts because we are just ready to start plannin!!

Hi all!

I'm also a 2011 bride and super excited as I now have my dress, my shoes and our photographer (Ivan Luckie). This is so nice as there really isn't much to plan!

Congrats everyone!

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about DOREMIXX not getting back to you . . . Maybe it's because it was a friday and they had numerous events over the weekend? I've only exchanged one email with him and he responded in I think 2 days, which I thought was good, comparably speaking.

 

How are the WC's at Del Mar at getting back to you? At the Lindo, they're inconsistent, one time it'll be a few hours later, the next time, a week![/quote/]

 

I am working with Karla, the WC at the Del Mar. She is super nice but her emails are inconsistent as well. I will email her and then she will get back to me a couple of hours later and then the next time it might be one or two days later. We were having an issue with the food and everytime she emailed me it never made sense. Even my fiancee didn't understand her emails. Things are taken care of now but my fiancee had to write her a firm email because mine were too polite (oops). I wish I could go meet with her beforehand but it doesn't work in my budget. So emails will have to do!

 

 

I wont worry about DOREMIXX, it's just frustrating when I'm trying to make sure I get what I want! haha.

 

Let me know what you think of Ivan Luckie, I was possibly considering him or Sascha Gluck.

Hi Ladies,

just wanted to check in. Things are too busy for me these days and I haven't really had much time to stop by. Trying to keep up by skimming and stalking without posting. Lots of people have bought dresses and BM dresses - GORGEOUS! Congrats on all of the exciting news. I'm hoping that I'll be back on this thread in a few months or so commenting etc. but right now there's just no time. But I'll keep trying to review once in a while and be in touch periodically. Keep up all the awesome planning everyone!!

My STD magnets came today!! So excited, I love them!!

klc - Thanks for the nice comment

pitt- I really hope we get to meet the florist! I have a pic of the bouquet I want. It's sort of a cascading shape with orchids and roses, and I want to make sure he can do it! I have no idea about the BM bouquets, need to get on that. And then for centerpieces and ceremony decor, I have pics of a few diff ideas to show them.

What specifically did you want me to take pics of? I think they show you a book of some of the options for bouquets and centerpieces. I'm more than happy to take pics of that if you want.

As for the hair/makeup, I heard about Waves Salon on this forum. Trevor is the owner/head stylist. They will come to your resort for no extra charge. They offered me a discount based on the # of BM's I have getting their hair done. With the discount, it's 72 per person for hair and I think about 120 for both hair and makeup. Mine is I think 199 and includes a free trial.

At the resort's salon, they want 96 per person for hair and 95 per person for makeup. Steep!

Iberostar is currently running a special that you get a 75 dollar spa credit when you book your trip. It's good through 2010, and they're not sure if it'll be offered in 2011. If it is, my BM's and the mom's will probably use that towards their hair. If that's the case, I'll just have them use the resort's salon and I'll still use Trevor since he's doing my hair/makeup trial this month!

Pitt-

Correction -- At Waves, bride's hair and makeup including a free trial is $136 with my 20% group discount (need to have 9 or more ppl)

Otherwise, full price it's $170.

I will take pics of this as well so you can see his work
