I met Aurora during our site visit. I think she could be a small but would suggest a medium to be on the safe side. I'm glad to hear that she's been helpful. I haven't had too much interaction with her yet since my wedding is still 9 months away. She was really patient and helpful during our site visit so hopefully, she'll be just as helpful when we come close to our wedding date and plan on the details.

Her reply was short and sweet " the hotels environmental policies no longer allow bonfires." Its a no then!! BUMMER Michelle - Your wedding is only a few weeks away and I recall that you were planning on having your wedding in the chapel (me too!) - I'll be looking forward to you reviews and pictures!

BUMMER Thanks for letting us know - now I'll have to let FI know - he's like a big kid so I'm sure he'll be sulking...

Thank you for the great review! I'm hoping to get Citlalli as well since Claudia is not available.

Jessica - Thank you for this information. Wow - this is quite an investment. Is Cricut for cutting or for printing images and cutting? What are the cartridges for? Sorry for sounding so clueless - I'm really not a arts and crafts person and this will be my first DIY type project. Good time to experiment right?

My brother just went to Cuba and absolutely loved it! Congrats and enjoy planning!

Congrats on your engagement and finding this forum! I love Dreams resort! Enjoy planning!

You have great taste! I heard that Secrets Maroma is absolutely beautiful! We are likely going their for our Honeymoon resort. Congrats and welcome to this forum!

Congratulations and welcome to this forum! We are thinking about going to Maui for our mini HMoon. Enjoy planning!

Congratulations! I heard Barbados is beautiful! Have fun planning!

Congrats! Welcome to the forum - you will become addicted to this site! Happy Planning!

I love the second one too - I may steal that set up. I agree with the pop of color - esp. when my color is fuschia and turquoise. Were you planning on using real stargazers or silk? If silk, can you let me know where you're getting or planning on getting them? Thanks!

Oh - I like the photo album idea - great that it is somewhat waterproof. I just did a search for the clear photo albums and found some on this site - I think it's similar but holds 36 pictures so I'm guessing it's 18 pages including cover and back. I might order a few - it's only 0.95 per - Pioneer Photo Album FC-146E 36-Pocket 4x6 Insert Your Own Cover

I too think they change the schedule frequently too. I'm really disappointed that they don't allow bonfires anymore - I was actually thinking doing that one night -

Hi - I've been addicted to this particular forum and amazed at all the creative ladies here. You all are a true inspiration. I am not typically the artsy, crafty gal but seeing the pretty OOT bags, labels, STD etc, I'm inspired to try the DIY route and I love the personal touch to it as well. Some ladies on this forum talk about using a Cricut and Cuddlebug tool. There are so many Cricut models - which model do you use or is most practical? Is Cuddlebug mainly a embossing and tracing tool? I'm really clueless when it comes to arts and craft - luckily I have a few months to experiment. Thanks, V

Oh - that is the exact kind of dress I'm looking for. I think it's too big - I'm typically a street 00P...

Circle punch! That is a lifesaver! Going on oriental trading next. Thanks again.

Wow - everything looks great! Did you make everything yourself? I love the luggage tags - they are so cute.

Our colors are pink and blue too - but I think I'm going to order Pink and Ivory for my ladies.
