Welcome Carlos! We can't wait for you to dj our wedding!

Happy Wedding Day Meredith! Sandra, hope you're having a good time and everything is going smoothly. My fingers are crossed for you ladies to have a beautiful wedding day in sunny Mexico Stress level is through the roof right now. I can't believe this dj issue is still unresolved issue just 6 weeks before the wedding...

Hi Freckles, I don't know what the cost is (kind of scared to ask for the cost of anything now), but Paradisus does offer this service. Since my dress isn't too poofy, my seamstress said to bring my carry-on bag to the store and she can pack it for me. I'm worried about having to fold it up and stuffing in into an overhead bin if I can't hang it. Also, not to freak anyone out, but make sure they STEAM the dress, NOT dry clean. In one of those wedding shows, they mistakenly dry cleaned her dress and it shrunk! From the wc: Does Paradisus offer steaming services for the wedding dress? How many days does it take? Yes, you need to send your dress maximum 1 day prior the wedding.

Welcome and happy planning! There are so many wonderful options in the RM

Maybe this since I have store credit that I need to use: http://usa.frenchconnection.com/prod...tton+dress.htm

It's grey and rainy outside and french onion soup sounds SO good right now!

Happy Wedding Day Ana!

Creative Montage has a cool palm tree design although I'm not sure how flexible they are with reformatting graphics for various purposes. http://www.creativemontage.com/

Many brides from another forum have used this company: Pink Design Events - Modern Designs for the Couture Bride It's run by a former bride. HTH!

Welcome Brooke! Is anyone hiring an outside makeup artist? Or using the one at the resort? Ahh, I am stumped as to what to do about this...

Beautiful wedding, Kim! You are so photogenic

Sandra, it is ridiculous! I am waiting to hear about my "fees." If worse comes to worse, I might move the reception off the resort. I am not going to get sucked into this. Paradisus can lose money from the costs of the reception if they want it to be that way. I have really enjoyed working with Perla and Daniela. Whether I would recommend Paradisus to future brides will depend on how this dj situation is handled. Honestly, it's extortion and nobody should have to deal with arbitrary, non-sensical fees.

Has your sister planned/attended bparties before? Maybe you can ask her if there's a particular day you should keep open on your calendar wink wink. Or you can always ask her and then offer your help w/ getting people's contact info. It's getting close to your wedding date, so it may either be a surprise or she may have assumed you didn't want a party. All the female friends should be invited from what I know... so no hurt feelings

wow, everyone looks amazing! what hotel did you go to?

STUNNING, Casey!

I don't know if it makes a difference, but the majority of our guests are friends (only about 8 older folks).

5:30 Ceremony 6-7 Cocktail party 7-10 Dinner and dancing 10-? Party at the resort bar Oh no... do you think 10 is too early? I just thought we could go to the hotel bar and continue the party there? Ahh...

LOVE the last dress!

Danielle, Ilka was also recommended to me for a mua. Are you still doing a makeup trial since she is so far away?

Welcome! It's fun to see another Paradisus bride -- come say hello thread!

Mannia is my dj too. These extra fees for a dj are a little ridiculous. I don't understand why it's necessary for someone else to supervise. My game plan is also to stick to the $300 fee and nothing more. Ah, so nervous...

#4 The neckline is gorgeous and the dress shows off your small waist!

San Fran Sarah, does Doranna have a website? I'm looking for a mua in the Cancun/PDC area. Thanks!

I am so glad to have found this thread! Has anyone tried Shu Uemura lashes? Also, do you use a tweezer-like tool to put them on?
