WELCOME! And CONGRATS on your wedding! You've come to the right place! Ssoo many of these ladies have dealt with Maye already!!

I think it will be fine. And it's okay not to have a true color scheme/theme ... we don't. Mix it up and make it fun and beautiful!

You're in good hands here! Plenty of Las Caletes brides!!! WELCOME!!!!

WELCOME!!! My fiance has several soldiers from Puerto Rico who just got back from Iraq with him. They are going to come over to the DR for our wedding. I'll ask him where they are from and see if I can get you any location suggestions!!!

I haven't purchased anything from Eve's yet ... but I have from PalmBeach | Forever Fashionable Jewelry, Watches, Accessories & Fragrances - Save up to 85% and wasn't very pleased -- plus I was double-charged. Just a heads up!

I voted for Shelley (beachbride) She's been all over this forum lately! (And is hopefully having a BLAST in Myrtle Beach). She's going to have A LOT of catching up to do upon her return to BDW!!!!

I'm going to see how I like the services ... but I do plan on a tip and/or gift. I will have an OOT bag for her, since the people in the DR appreciate ANYTHING ... but I don't think I'll need to tip her $100. I think $50 in the DR shold be more than enough for a job well done ... but again, we'll see. Even though its an AI, we'll be giving tips for good service throughout the trip.

Anyone ordered their BM dresses via the web, either House of Brides (www.houseofbrides.com) or Perfect Bridal (Wedding Dresses at Discount Prices)? Their prices are wwaayy better than anything I can find in bridal stores. Just curious about reliability, quality, etc...

Love it! Great job! Thanks for sharing!!!

I never heard of this and it seems pretty common since a lot of you are doing it - thanks. You hire a photographer that either has experience in these or is willing to try them, in order to be artistic and not raunchy. Do a search here for "Boudoir" on this forum and you'll find several threads that have links to BD photogs.

Great choice! That is beautiful! Can't wait til Saturday so we can see you in it!!!

Home remedy for headaches and migraines? Sex, of course!!! And LOTS of it. lol

Also, a lot of places charge for taking measurements if you do not order from them- it was 20.00 here, so add that on to the price and they were more than I could find them locally. Also, be sure to have professional measurements taken because my bridesmaids who are normally about a size 6, ordered size 12 in this dress!! The place here where I got them for 108.00 was The Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul. I am not sure if it is a chain or not... I just got my quote back -- that was fast ... and was quoted $108 each with free shipping and no sales tax. (I need 5) This is very tempting and I see they have a Better Business Bureau emblem on thir site. I used to be an investigative reporter, so I'm going to use my nose for news and see what I can dig up about this company! :-)

I was told they will be here in about 8 weeks- sometime in November. I think a lot of stores try to scare you by saying you need to order them now so you order from then that day rather than looking elsewhere- just my opinon. By the way- how much are you paying for them? I was quoted 150.00, and even 160.00, but the last store I went to they were only 108.00!! Or, I think they were about 110.00 on this website with free shipping:Bari Jay Bridesmaid Dresses Wow, didn't know about that website but just emailed for a quote!!! I was quoted $148 each, which was standard at all but one shop here ... which quoted $118, but said I was crazy when we went in there to talk about getting them all from that shop. So, I guess about $150 is right. Hopefully I'll get a good quote from this site. Wonder how reputable it is? Do you know anything about it?

I am doing the Boarding Passes for my Invitations. PM your email and I can send you the template.
