Hello Amylou1983! Congtratulations on your upcoming wedding! I'll give you my advice from past experience as a bride (last year)... Photography - Hands down, del Sol...please see some of the pics from my wedding as well as some underwater trash the dress pics they've taken of brides! They are amazing with their customer service and extremely professional. Their photography is complete art (and hangs on canvas all around my house!) DJ - We went with DJ Mannia and he did a fabulous job. Highly recommend him! I've attached some pics below - please feel free to reach out with any questions

Hi jbailey3183! I just saw you're getting married in Los Cabos. Cabo is amazing! I was just there last November and again last month - such amazing views. Congratulations and happy planning!

Thank you!!

No problem! Good luck! It helped me tremendously

We did the same thing. I recommend it if you want to avoid blood work and translation of marriage certificates!

Hey Leigh! I finished up the Fashion & Jewelry planning template for you this morning. If you can PM me your address, I can directly email it to you (in case it doesn't attach properly here). All of the cells in the spreadsheet are able to be edited, and I've color coded it to keep it fresh. Feel free to enter in your own components of what you're bringing and just type "=" in a cell at the top, select the piece of clothing/jewelry you want to include in that cell and hit "Enter". Let me know if you have any questions

Congratulations to you! I have a few brides that I'm designing jewelry for from this site that are headed to Punta Cana for weddings! There are some great threads on here - even ones particular to Punta Cana & the DR in general, so happy planning!

Adorable!!

Congrats and welcome to this fabulous forum! As a destination wedding bride and a jewelry designer - it's an amazing resource! Best of luck and if you have questions, or need inspiration - just ask! Cheers!

Hi Lindsey! I would DEFINITELY send any pics to the wedding coordinator at the resort. Being as clear as possible about what you want will be the best choice to make sure you love the result. I personally was as literal as possible when planning my wedding and loved the end result because of it with my flowers/ linens, etc specifically with the WC at Excellence Riviera Cancun. Best of luck!

Congratulations amjohnson! Best of luck with your planning. This is a fabulous site and feel free to ask any questions! Cheers! Chelsea www.redibychelsea.com www.facebook.com/RedibyChelsea www.twitter.com/Redibychelsea

Thanks so much for the compliment on my barefoot jewels and pics I'm sure everything will be fabulous for your wedding - best of luck!!

Oh Leigh I'm so sorry! I promise you that I'll send you a template this week of my clothing/accessories planning for wedding & honeymoon. I'll recreate it since I lost mine due to my laptop dying as well, but you'll have it this week. Hopefully that'll help you breathe a bit easier! xoxo

Thank you so much, Janet!! Can't wait to see pics of you in all of your jewels!!

{Red-i} By Chelsea = yes!

Congrats & welcome!!

Hey krsmith! I understand the frustration of getting people to commit. We went through it when we planned our wedding last year in Riviera Maya. The best part is for all the people that do come, they end up raving about it for years to come! Take a deep breath and don't worry...it'll turn out better than you expected! I saw you mentioned that you were browsing Etsy. If you need any barefoot jewels, hair accessories or other jewelry...please feel free to check out my site!

Hello Becky1022, I'm so incredibly sorry that you are experiencing this. I just recently saw the TripAdvisor post and feel terrible for you and all the brides that are going through it. We loved our wedding last year at ERC and Del Sol actually helped us narrow it down to that specific resort when we were looking at a few different ones, so my heart breaks for all of you. I really wish you the best of luck.

Hello sojahseh81! Congratulations on your wedding planning! I'm actually in Dallas and was a destination wedding bride in Riviera Maya, Mexico last year. I design destination wedding jewelry and hair couture, so if there's anything you need in that department, please let me know! In response to your question about STD's...we sent ours out about 9 months prior. We had mostly friends and family scattered all around the US and knew we needed plenty of time to allow them to plan. We also put together a private Facebook Group page, so that way we could keep up the excitement for everyone when they decided to drag their tails We also talked to friends and family just to get the word out before we sent out STD's...so by the time they received them it wasn't out of the blue. I really think it's all personal preference. I don't think anyone has ever been upset by receiving the news early! Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!
