Hi Angie, welcome to the forum! Congrats and the engagement and picking a location!

Congrats on the engagement and welcome to the forum! I'm sure that you will be able to find a lot of info on that hotel on this site - there's probably a few threads and reviews to be discovered!

Congrats on picking the location and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum Darla and congrats on the engagement! You must be very excited. Good luck on finding the perfect location, I am certain that you will find the question to many of your questions on here!

Congrats on the engagement Ronete and welcome to the forum!

My mom flew into town from Montreal to go dress shopping with me and so along with two friends (one of whom was in town from the UK, perfect timing!) we went looking for the perfect dress to fit my budget. I found two dresses that weekend - 1 which needed some work to be perfect, and 1 that was classic and that I could dress up. I really loved the one that needed work - it made me special and felt like a wedding dress to me. After a repeat visit and a long discussion with the seamstress, I realized that I was really fooling myself to think that I wanted to get married in the other (classic) dress. If I got the other dress (which was still beautiful), I'd just keep thinking about this dress. The alterations would be easy apparently, and the seamstress even undid part of the seam to show me what it would look like. I was sold! It was a lot more money than the classic one but you only get married once, right? Here are some pictures of me in the dress. I am getting the "pouf" part altered so that the fabric just flows straight down instead. The dress is by Pronovias, style "Madrigal" from the spring 2010 collection. I'm really happy to be able to share the photos on here - I can't post them to my flickr account or on our blog because otherwise I'd ruin the surprise for Travis! It was driving me nut to have to keep this hush.

Ok, hopefully this works! The dress is by Pronovias, spring 2010 collection. I am getting it altered to remove the "pouf" - instead the fabric will just fall straight down. It's really comfortable and it has the tulle and lace that I was looking for!

You can buy the kit at a craft store (like Michael's) and since you'll probably make a lot more than what is included in the kit, you'd have your template for the next ones. The kits come in a few different colours. I was thinking of making these as well, let us know how it goes!

I just need to figure out the Photobucket thing first and then I'll post a pic!

I'm sorry that she passed away... even though you knew that it was coming it must have been terribly hard to deal with it. She was quite the fighter! And it seems to me that she might have rubbed off on you a little! Hang in there. My thoughts will continue to be with you.

Hi Elizabeth! No, it wasn't you that I was talking about, so no worries!

I was hoping to save some cash by avoiding this, but that's life! On the upside I found my dress yesterday, so I'm super excited!!! Jennie, congrats on the wedding! I'm glad that it was perfect! I love the photos too, you looked stunning!

Wow, incredible! You two looked gorgeous and the photos are amazing!

#1 all the way!!! Feels way more natural and matches the location!

Most often with photographers they ask for payment in full *before* the ceremony - I'm not sure that you would be able to find a photographers willing to get paid afterward, or once you have received your images. Processing images requires a lot of work - if your photographer is able to process them in a couple of days, it's probably either because they took very few pictures or that they don't don't a very good job of retouching the images. In all though, talk to your photographer! Let him / her know how you feel, your worries and ask your questions! It will make you feel better!

OMG that first pic with the paint, the car, the shoes, the tats - it's amazing!!!! Can't wait to see the rest!

The biggest stress and worry factor is booking our rooms. At this point I feel so defeated that part of me wants to give up... we have a minimum number of rooms that we need to fill and if we don't, we still have to pay for them. I would suggest to brides out there trying to avoid that kind of stress to either 1) pick a hotel where you don't need to book a minimum number of rooms 2) expect a lot less people to show up than expected 3) to try to not take it personally when people who you really want to be there with you say that they can't make it due to the cost!

My passion is photography so I'm really picky, but regardless I just know though that in the end it will be fine no matter who I go with. No need to be a bridezilla over it! I would be happy with Elizabeth, but she's hasn't replied yet as to whether she is available. Has anyone else found that she is not quick to reply? I was also wondering if anyone else is having difficulties getting Adam to stick to his deadline? I feel that I have to keep asking for things way after he said I'd have them by.

Quote: Originally Posted by jenniebey mlabbe - Congrats on sigining your contract! Now you can get to the fun planning. Who are you looking at for photography? I'm looking at Elizabeth and Michelle, but also a bunch of others that are not associated with the resort. I think that Elizabeth and Michelle both do great work, but I'm sort of afraid of working with them... After looking at all of the photos it seems that they got a little too comfortable with the resort, and that the same pictures are taken over and over but with different brides and grooms. Photography is the most important thing for me (aside from the saying "yes" part with friends and family!) and so I want it to be perfect. I think that there's a quality that comes with looking at things with a fresh set of eyes - I want to be sure that I'm getting the best $ / quality ration possible. And they're not cheap either, so I just want to be sure. Any bride / bride-to-be here went with an outside photographer?

Wow, that gave me chills. I'm so sorry to hear about this - but there also was a lot of positives in there. You have an incredible relationship with her, and she sounds like an amazing woman. She seemed to have lived a wonderful life. And you also seem like an amazing, strong woman. You clearly know what is most important and what isn't. And I think that you know that she would want you to celebrate and be happy no matter what. It will be hard, and nothing can make that go away... I wish you all the best, and I'll be thinking about the two of you.

We finally signed our contract and Adam is programming our dates, I'm so excited! Now we just need to book a photographer ASAP!

Great job! I love all of the personalized stamps!

Wow, that's a short engagement! Congrats and welcome, I'm sure that you'll find a lot of resources on here. Best of luck!

Congrats on the engagement and welcome! You'll find tons on info on here for those destinations!
