So I just ordered my FI and his BM linen pants yesterday. I didnt do the custom fit, and just ordered their size and inseam in the tropical beige linen with the satin lining. The pants are in production today as per the email I rec'd from Studio suits...so now I just have to wait and see how they turn out..... heres to hoping they fit properly!

HELP! Does anyone happen to have the swatches for the linen pants from Studio suits? I just tried ordering them and including shipping they wanted to charge me almost $50.00 and that doesnt include the duty I would have to pay once it comes across the border. So if anyone would be willing to send me the swatches, I will gladly pay for them and the shipping costs, but I figure they can just be put in a regular envelope can they not? Or if they do not want to sell them, I will pay for shipping and return them to you. I would greatly appreciate it if someone would be willing to do this. Please either PM me or email me at [email protected] Thanks!!

Skiddelybop, Thank you for posting your review, Its always great to read these and get ideas from each brides experience as what we should and shouldnt do. It sounds like your wedding was fantastic and everything went so well! Congratulations and thanks for sharing! Cant wait to see the pics!

Hey Ladies, So I was also one that would go crazy on all the OOT bag stuff but that was up until one fine day when I figured that I should probably see how many bags I am going to need to get everything down to Mexico. Well after packing everything up I was at 8 bags ranging in size from large suitcases to large duffle bags on wheels. Now that does taken into consideration things like cake topper, programs and the odd little thing but mostly it is my OOT stuffers. However once I had 8 bags I realized that is when I had to stop. I still have to pack for myself and FI and my son so we are probably looking at another 3 bags with our clothes and that doesnt even take care of my dress or flowers. So a word of wisdom, start packing now to see where your at, bc the exra bag charges are going to add up really fast!!! What I have so far for my OOT bags (for 36 people or 20 bags) : Beach Bag 2 Travel mugs per bag Pashmina Beach kit ( sunscreen, sanitizer, body butter, bandaids, listerine strips, chap stick - all travel size) Hangover kit (advil, pepto, immodium - travel sizr) Lanyard with money/key holder first aid kit deck of cards tissues 5 postcards with pen for each bag 36 starfish for place settings tag body spray travel size ipod dock - travel size - 4 room spray from Bath and body works welcome book wet bikini bag Mexican translation form tags for the bags star fish wine stoppers...... there is probably more but I cant think of it off the top of my head. So make sure you stop and check the bag issue before you go crazy bc it adds up really fast. Its like they say with your wedding dress....when you found yours, don't go looking anymore. So if you have enough stuff, stop looking otherwise there will always be something out there that you will want. Good Luck

Somehow I lost my description .....lol Alfred Angelo 2100 Bought it while vacationing in Vegas - I just got it in the mail last week and can't bring myself to try it on yet......lol

Hi Ladies, Just got back from Vacay and while I was away I rec'd an email from Maria. I do apologize if this info has already been posted as I dont have the time to read the the pages I have missed but I wanted to make sure it was on here in any case. So as of May anyone wanting to be married on the beach must now pay $120 US as the government has implemented a fee to all the resorts. I am not sure why this fee wouldnt be waived or the resort pay it for us considering how much business they get from one wedding and our guests, but whatever. Maria stated that if we chose not to forgo the extra $120 US fee for the beach, we could choose to get married in one of the garden areas with no additional cost. To me I think this is a joke! Who goes to Mexico to get married in a Garden?? We go there to get married on the beach or atleast have the beautiful scenery as our backdrop, but seriously! Cash grab if you ask me. Anyways, just wanted to make sure you were all aware. If anyone wants a copy of the email Maria sent me, please email me at [email protected] as I do not get on here very often and dont always respond to my PM's in a timely manner .....lol Have a great weekend and a great long weekend to my fellow Canadians! Cheers!

Hi Ladies, Just got back from visiting family in Windsor and Ottawa this past week so I hope that I am not too late in posting this for you all......as I would hate for ppl to miss out on this one. I bought Wet Bikini Bags for my wedding party off of AVON a while ago but figured I should probably get some more for my guests however they were no longer available. But low and behold I am shopping at LaVie en Rose and what do I find? Blue and white wet bikini bags for only $1.00 Each!!!!! They are super cute and such a nice material - nothing is going to leak from these little guys. I bought twenty of them and they had a whole lot more in boxes in the back. They said they were clearing them out - so if you need them - call first and go and get them bc they are super cute and such a great, light wieght gift to put in the OOT bags.. I bought them when I was in Windsor, but I am assuming any LaVie en Rose will have them?? Hope this helps!! Cheers!

I wish you would have posted this sooner....lol.....I just purchased my flowers a couple of weeks ago and changed from what I originally wanted bc we couldnt get the dark orange callas that I wanted. So now I have a more tropical bouquet instead. Its still really nice, but I love yours bc that was exactly what I was looking for! Everything looks beautiful and I wish you all the luck in selling your items!!!

Where did you find the enevelope box / card holder? Thanks

We are going there for our honeymoon in Jan 2012....I so wanted to get married there but with some kids coming to the wedding it just wasnt possible. I cant wait for the honeymoon! Great choice!

I'm Jan 19, 2012 and we were originally going to Barcelo but changed at the last minute to Sandos. Its getting closer now!!! Congrats!

Hi Ladies, Just had to tell someone that I sent out my invites today for my January 19, 2012 wedding. I have asked for them back by July 15, 2011 and as of August 1, 2011 that will be my cut off. I am giving Maria my numbers on August 1 and that will also allow me to be able to get all my OOT stuff together and done with plenty of time to spare. I have made everyone aware that the cut off is July 15 andif they havent committed by then, that they unfortunately will not be able to attend. I sent out my STD's 16 months in advance of my wedding, so I know that if they havent figured it out 5 months before the wedding, well more then likely they werent planning on coming anyways. Plus I hear about brides on here all the time stressing out that people still havent book and then they are scrambling at the end to get things done for their wedding. I dont want it to be like that for me, so that is why I have done it this way. (Also bc I have been married before and I know what the madness is like....we all think we are going to be fine and have enough time...but unless you really plan like this....well you run out of time bc it creeps up sooo fast). So its still 8 months away but now I'm starting to get excited and its finally feeling real. I remember being on here in 2009 and just hating it that my wedding was so far away...but its finally coming...for all of us....and I cant wait! Hope everyone had a great Easter Weekend and chat soon!

We sent our STD's out in October 2010 for our Jan 2012 wedding as we wanted to give people as much time as possible to plan and save. I am sending out our formal invitations in May 2011 and requesting them back by July 15, 2011 ( 6 months prior to our wedding in Mecico). I will give my final numbers to my Wedding Co-ordinator in August and that way anyone who hasnt committed to the wedding by that time, unfortunately won't be able to attend. I figure if people haven't figured out whether or not they are truly coming to our wedding by then, more then likely they aren't coming anyways. They have had almost a year to save since the STD's went out....so I figure thats plenty of time. Also my quotes have been out since February this year and the prices are slowly creaping up....so this also gives them the push they need to book, knowing if they dont book before July....they will loose the chance to come at all. My first wedding was super stressful and busy until the last minute (back in 1999)...this I want to avoid at all costs. By doing it this way, I can complete all my DIY"s way before December knowing the exact amount of guests coming and there isnt a guessing game of who is coming and who isnt. Plus I wont have the last minute scramble that most of us will and have had because I will be done everything. I hear about upset brides on here all the time bc people have not committed to the wedding or booked - and a lot of family and friends wait to the last minute. My way of doing it basically pushes them to book 5 months before the actual wedding. This not only gives them the opportunity to lock into better rates, but also makes it much easier on me. Good Luck!!!

Here is my new Dress....I posted a picture last October of my other dress - however my venue changed and thus so did my dress! I love this dress bc it has texture to it and its fun! Can't wait to wear it!!!!

Hi Ladies, I am selling my Brand New Ivory Mori Lee Wedding Dress (tags still attached, never worn) as my venue has changed, thus so has my dress. It is a size 18 which is street size 14 but will fit a street size 16 as my girl friend tried it on at the salon as well. It can be altered down by 4 dress sizes, however no more then that as per the Salon. It has never been altered and fits me perfectly. I am 5'9 and I would still have enough length to put heels on, however I chose to go barefoot. I purchased the dress for $630.00 CAN - please make me a resonable offer for this New, Never worn, Tags still attached Dress. Thanks so much for looking. I can't seem to get the picture of me wearing the dress uploaded so if you want to see that also please PM me. Thanks!!
