I think they like to know in advance which appetizers and buffet choice you want, but when you get there if you eat something at a restaurant that you really enjoy then you can ask to substitute it for something else...I remember reading on here somewhere that a bride said she requested a pineapple cheesecake wedding cake and that it was amazing...where are you having the cocktail hour and reception? with that many people im assuming you qualified for the unlimited private functions...which is so great! who is your photographer? good luck with everything...Nicole

Love them! im not a great DIY person but im going to try these thank you!

Its a tough decision...i agree! I definitely want to do a ttd session because the pictures come out beautiful and ive heard the experience is so romantic...Im unsure yet if ill wear my gown or buy a 2nd cheap one to wear...i do understand though that it doesnt make sense to spend more money on another one, so your original can hang in a closet...hmmm...still undecided

My wedding is 5 months away, and ive been engaged for 5 months...I have to say, I havent felt stress about much at all..its been a really nice process...I think the best advice is to relax and let it all roll...It helps to have a wonderful fiance and a great travel agent...after that it kind of just goes...the only thing ive been a little stressed over was picking a photographer...i feel that its so important and its hard to choose when they live in another country...when i feel a little stressed i look at past brides dw pictures and i smile and look forward to mine

Victoria Secret has cute tanks and hoodies for bride and team bride...Ive ordered some shirts on Vistaprint for our bridal party...was also thinking of making my own, but my luck the rhinestones will fall out in the water

Dead or Alive:: Bon Jovi

KGirl they look beautiful! what is vellum paper? and how did you make them? I also want to use candles but heard about the wind...im very interested in trying to make the LED candle idea work...

I read that someone said if you have over 25 rooms booked you dont qualify, but i dont think that is true...Im going to check with my TA...I dont think it would be fair if Im bringing that many people to a resort that they wouldnt qualify for the same promotions as other people?

Hi Ladies! Im wondering if any of you have or will do a trash the dress session? If so, where did you do it? ASP doesnt have a beach or an ocean so I dont really think it will be worthwhile to take the pictures there at the resort....does anyone have any suggestions of a place to meet my photographer and do the pictures? also, should I buy a 2nd cheap dress to wear that day? i'll be doing the TTD pictures on a saturday and the next day ill be leaving for home...i cant imagine taking a wet, sandy bridal gown back on the plane...suggestions/advice

Wow Cristi! your wedding is only 1 month away! you must be so excited yes, i talked to my travel agent and she said were all good with receiving the new promotion...i cant wait to tell friends about it, hopefully more will book now!

Love your pictures! You look beautiful....im considering hiring Juan for my november wedding in riviera maya...his work looks beautiful, do you have anything else to say about him (I couldnt open up your review)...thanks, Nicole

i also have been researching photographers and came upon some of juans work, it is all very beautiful, he seems really talented

GREAT ideas...i dont know which ones im going to steal first

You look beautiful!!! way to go

LOL I dont know if anyone else has seen this, but this promotion is awesome!!! I called my TA right away and he's calling Miami to get all the logistics. I will let you all know what he says.... $1,500 Vacation Dollars - Cancun & Riviera Maya Omg! this promotion is awesome! I cant wait to tell all my friends/family..hopefully this will help give everyone a lil push to get them to book the trip Yeah!!!

I can't really tell if it is nice or not from the pics she sent me. Otherwise - I might switch to the spa side...But is it correct the spa side gazebo burned down? What are the other ceremony locations on the spa side if it did? Decisions, decisions... Yeah!!! everything finally sounds like its coming together for you The Coba gazebo looks beautiful, I love the pandero terrace, thats where I think Im doing mine and Marracas Terrace is also where I think Im having my reception...I dont have any better pictures for you, then the ones she sent me, but I like the fact that its not directly on the sand, so the ladies can wear their heels, but is right next to the beach, just a few steps up...the furniture is awesome in the picture but I found out that its extra to have that..the only thing I was concerned about was if it was private enough...supposedly the gazebo on the spa side has been fixed and looks beautiful again...I think the only place on the spa side big enough for you to have your reception in is the Spa Terrace, is that the same thing as the spa gazebo? im so confused by all these places...there is also a Chichum (sp?) gazebo on the spa side that looks beautiful, its right in front of the pools...

I did check out Adrian Herrera, i was thinking about going with him but he kept responding that Sara was unavailable that day, but when I would ask about him I would get the same response about Sara...I was a little confused, I dont know if they only work together as a team his prices were good, and alot cheaper than Victor but Octavio was still cheaper...I think I made my decision, I now how to just hope for the best thanks, Nicole

Quote: Originally Posted by NaM Have you checked Sasha Gluck? Ruluca (she got married the same day as me) used him and her pics came out gorgeous!! I think he is much more affordable! Here is the link to his blog, I tried to link it straigh ASP but if it's not on the homepage just look up the Nov. 2009 archieve and you'll see the ASP wedding. Photographer for Cancun an Riviera Maya thank you...I did check out Sasha..unfortunately he was already booked for the day of our wedding I think Im going to go with Octavio, hes been very friendly through email and quick with his responses, ill just hope for the best

We had a pretty big engagement party, planned that so people who will not be joining us in Mexico could have a time to celebrate with us...It was very nice, but Im glad its over, I wouldnt want to plan something else after all the planning for this wedding...Its very nice if a family member throws it for you though

Ugh! Im still stressing about the photographer I love the work of Del Sol, Victor Herrera and Elizabeth Medina...but they are out of my price range...Im thinking of using Octavio Montes but I havent been able to find enough of his work...any suggestions/recommendations? this has been my hardest decision so far!

Im sold!!!! thats it Im definitely doing a TTD! I need to choose a photographer first, then I can get excited about these pictures....any recommendations...thanks, Nicole
