What a GREAT find FoxyBride. Thanks so much for posting this!! They ran out of the other colors!!! :-(

Yay!! We got our suit today!! FI and I decided to go with the darker color, so we choose the "Old Tan Linen". But here's a picture. The Suit fits well, there are some areas we will need to get altered but we did that intentional. I'm sure if we used true measurement instead of my add an inch or two here it would have been perfect. We went with the linen blend which I highly recommend as others have said on this thread. Its easier to travel with and does not wrinkle as easy as pure linen. Now we are ordering my Dad's suit today!! :-)

Your wedding coordinator should be able to provide some vendors as a start.

Welcome to BDW!

I would love the contact information also when you get it, thanks!

I feel like I'm forgetting to do something. I have a checklist but keep checking it because I think I forgot something. I know I am stressing myself with the what if but that will settle as I check off more items. I really need to make a move and finalize my plans. :-)

It wasn't guilt for me I just didn't want to do. I'm not an all eyes on me type person. But, I'm glad my two childhood friends were persistent. Its a exciting yet overwhelming in that the group size is large.

First, best wishes and waiting to hear the stories and read your review when you return. As I was reading your Sephora experience I just shook my head thinking why and when. Why do they think presuring you will increase sales. And When will they realize the better they understand the better they apply your make-up by understanding your complexion etc. the more you will buy! Okay, now that I am off my chatterbox. Back to the important part....your wedding day!!

Has anyone received the offers for free tote bags or note pads. I have not seen those offers in a week...so if you have please PM me. Thanks!!

I had so much fun reading your planning thread! Thanks for sharing and I will check back to use some of your ideas.

Welcome and search under the Dominican Republic section of the site -or- just surf all the threads under that group. You are at the right place...happy planning.

No but I would be curious to compare rates.

Everyone is saying they are out of English Beige, this is what I ordered over two weeks ago and no issues, no response with change in color. So this is scary...ummm. I'm going to have to contact the designer today.

I actually bought this color intentionally b/c the pics online looked more like a midnight blue, which is the same color that I used for our wedding. Let me know if anyone is interested! AWESOME idea Yes, I'll PM you. Thanks! Where did you get them because I will order additional in other colors. I wanna make sure they are the same material/quality and etc.

the prices should go down. plus the price the bride/groom pay will always be higher than most guest because we tend to purchase a year in advance. I also noticed your wedding is 2012, you are getting quotes already or is this based on this year? Best wishes in your planning.

I'm falling in love with the vintage brooch bouquets.

Great idea! Wish I could use yours!! So let me put my wish out...my color theme is peacock so anyone with sashes in blue, turquoise or green...please let me know! I'll take table runners and all! :-D My wedding is July 30

I thought these were two different vendors? I saw the post earlier and looked at both sites and they appeared to be different. Are they the same owners with two look/feel to their site?

Unfortunate experience with the vendors....and that's the last bit of stress we all need planning a wedding! wew.....

Hang in there, don't give up - something will come through! does your resort offer free photography with a package? Anyone in your group able to be the designated photographer? Also, maybe someone on BDW will fly a photog down during the same time as your wedding and you can share cost. Quote: Originally Posted by Island Bride Diva- HIGHFIVE! Rotties are the best!

I even have her listed on our program as "Dog of Honor" Dog of Honor = way cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by cowgirlcomo Does anyone have any recommendations for a photographer from the states that would be willing to do a destination wedding for the cost of a week in Mexico?? At one of the local bridal shows I met a photog that charges based on one of his packages (starting $1000s?). He does not charge for travel just accomodations. So you would only need to pay for his hotel stay (per him for 1-2 days unless you needed him longer). I'll see if I can find the information/web site etc. and repost.

I know they are busy because based on some of the photos they are some of the best I've seen. But if they are going to be in Cancun Sat/Sun for one couple why not offer travel/accomodation share for another couple before or after. Well, maybe they do and I just have not seen it.

How many Peacock boutonnieres do you have? Is the second one a boutonniere or a hairpiece?
