January 2011 Brides

January 22, 2011 here!

Murmel!

 

Thank you sooo much for your recommendations re: suits.

The FI and I are going to be in Toronto in August so we are going to look around at the Harry Rosen Outlet in Heartland and then head over to Square One.

That's so exciting! There are tons of places for you to try here! There is also the Vaughan Mills mall, we saw a few up there. Good luck and let me know if I can help in any way

I'm completely obsessed with flowers too !! Haha. I have over 15 centerpieces, 20 bridal bouquets, tons of BM bouquets, bouts all saved to my favorites on my computer LOL. I'm bringing them down w me to our site visit this coming Mon to show the florist so I can find out what's avail and what's not.

You should be able to communicate with tour WC through email prior to if you don't want to wait until the week of your wedding to pick things out!

And really if flowers are important to you I'd just go for real orchids, they're not that much more expensive than silk. You probably have your bouquet included in your wedding package I'm assuming, and they'd just charge you a nominal upgrade charge to do orchids or other "premium" flowers.

I've found that flowers in Mexico are really cheap, at least compared to the States. Now, photographers, hair & makeup, notsomuch hehe

Sorry for the late reply, but just saw this post and thought I'd mention a few remembrance ideas I've seen at past weddings.

I went to a wedding ceremony on the beach in Maui where the bride had recently lost her father. What she did was leave an open seat in the front row with his favorite flower on it. I thought that was very sweet. You might even place a photo of your dad on the seat as well.

Another wedding I attended the groom lost his mom about ten years ago, and before he did the mother/son dance with his aunt, he went over and kissed a photo of his mother that was set up next to the head table.

Thanks for the ideas.

Oh I so wish I could do a site visit before the actual wedding but its just too far to fly (from London)- at least I have been to the hotel before and my wedding isnt until I have already been out there for 10 days!

Is anyone getting marry at the Dreams Rivera Cancun? On January 22nd??

How's everyone's planning coming along? I feel like I don't really have to do anything right now and it feels good! My dress came in this week so I have to go in and try it on...very exciting

Right now I have behind. Have not managed to do much wedding stuff lately. Busy trying to finish renovations on my old place so I can sell it (moved in with FI, and would love to not have to pay the mortgage anymore) Hopefully it will be ready for sale at the end of the week, and then I can go back to wedding planning.
