Hi Ladies, I am wondering if anyone on here has used Humberto Castilla for their photographer. His prices seem very reasonable. I have used the search function on this forum and cannot find any significant information on him. While I understand this may mean that no one has used him, or has written any review of him, I am in search of any sort of review. If anyone has any info they could share that would be great! Thanks

I remember seeing for example chair tie backs for $2 to purchase. In Mexico, I am not using anyone for linens, but am using Mishka Designs out of PV for maracas. She also does entire wedding designs, and I know she would ship to your resort. I doubt it would be very inexpensive though! Hope that helps a bit? I think the company that was mentioned a while back on several of the threads in this forum was wedding linens direct home page They are an american company but can definitely ship to canada. I have not been on in a wile so i am not familiar with a lot of their products but i know that satin chair ties are about 89cents each!

I have purchased them from 2 different buyers on there and shipping has been quick and I am completely satisfied.

What size is the David's Bridal dress?

Great story! Congrats!

What a great story! Congrats!

That is an amazing proposal! What a sweet guy!

Another Calgary girl here, also not in oil and gas, but a nurse at the children's hospital. I don't post too often but thought I might be able to answer Boo's question.

I am not sure about the lids through, it might be worth checking out.

Hi ladies, I was in cancun for the last week and a half, and in an odd turn off events ended up getting a free night at the hyatt to take a later flight. What i didn't expect was to look out my balcony at dreams! I know it looks gorgeous in pictures but ladies the resort and the views are beautiful! I cant wait. And an update on the beach. It should be finished within this week and it looks great, while it wont be the small private beach it once was, it is certainly going to be nice. They are doing the same thing all the way down the strip. So excited and its still so long away!

Also, I found a Canadian retailer that sells badge holders with a ziploc seal for 0.43 cents each! They only sell a minimum of 100 and I only need 50. Does anyone want to split an order? (ID Card Printers, Plastic ID Cards, PVC Printer Supplies & Identification Accessories Canada) Thanks, Heather I would be interested in the ID badge holders also, though I would only 12. Let me know and we can work something out!

Asking $8 for the Advil (0.26 cents per pack), $8 for the Immodium (0.44 cents per pack) and $5 for the MediLyte (0.17 cents per pack). This was just the price of the packages and doesn't include any part of the shipping or duties that were paid for the whole order. I will take it all off of your hands. I am also in Calgary which saves shipping if you dont mind meeting up. Send me an email, [email protected].

Congrats and Welcome! I am also a Dreams Cancun Bride. Happy Planning!

Ladies I am excited to say i found my dress. I am very excited about it, I love it! It is a Veromia Style VR6963. I have no idea how to post pictures so here is the link to the website, it is the one in the center of the page, if you click on it you can see alternate views. Veromia What do you ladies think?

I don't know if I like whats written on the front, but I don't want anything too specific - I don't really need 250 luggage tags, since I'll have maybe 25 people there. So I'd like suggestions on what else I could write there. Maybe something like "Ready for fun in the sun!" or "The beach is that way" or something. Also, if anyone wants to share the order with me - I'll ship however many of the business cards to you. You would just pay shipping. Front of tag: Back of tag: Thanks for your help!! If you are still looking for someone to share the order with, I would definitely be in though I would only need about 30 of them. Are you still going with the "Going to the beach" version, my wedding is in Mexico so the Cuba version would not work for us.

Thanks for the feed back Hi Carolina24, Would you be willing to share the pricing you have for cecilia? I have heard good things about her but have not seen her pricing.

Hi JuneWeddingDreams, What a wonderful way to honour your fiance's mother. I would suggest send a PM to Michelle613 as she is lsited as June 10th on out list of dates, she may not be on the forum very much. Best of luck, I hope everything works out for you.

Quote: Originally Posted by carolina24 I checked out his website and I love his style, plus it is included!! I think the package we chose (ultimate) includes two hours of photography, so we're going to use it because they aren't really doing many exchanges anymore. we're actually doing our TTD at playa del carmen during our honeymoon so I don't know about his rates for that. Ooh that is interesting, I never thought about doing the trash the dress shoot during our honeymoon. I will have to look into that!!

Quote: Originally Posted by carolina24 hey ladies, I was wondering what everyone's doing for photographers. I've seen good reviews about Juan Navarro and Cecilia Dumas. Any suggestions? Btw, thanks again Jessica! and Congrats Maria...you leave tom!!! Soooo excited...Can't wait to hear back. good luck to all the Nov brides, time flies!!! We am going with Juan Navarro as he is included with the packages and i am not sure i can afford to go with an outside photographer. I am not planning on getting alot of prints so we are getting the 50 prints and album that comes with the package and then paying to have all of the photos on a cd, which we can make prints of at home if we want to. His website is juanphotos.com and is worth checking out. Are you going with the wedding package at the resort? If you do choose an outside photographer you may be able to get a trade for the photos in your package but I know they have been cutting back on alot of the trades recently. If photos are really important to you and you have it in your budget, alot of the ladies seem to have gone with an outside photographer, usually claudia rodriquez studios. I am not sure what her website is but they have several phtographers, each with slighty different styles. On a seperate note, does anyone happen to have a price list of Juan Navarro's packages or atleast info on a TTD session the next day?
