oooohhhh I like the Desirae. Just took a peek and realized that that was the one I tried on a few weeks ago at the bridal salon. Never realized that it was a Maggie dress though. I remember it was super soft and nice and light weight.

HOw exciting! Congrats :-)

HA - If thats the case ... Those two rooms are definitely TOO expensive so I better stick with the ocean view and call it a day. There are just way too many other things that I would spend that money on that are wedding related. :-s I'm sure they are gorgeous though. May we'll hit the lotto between then and now LOL

Can't wait to book him :-) Looks like he definitely knows how to get and keep a party going :-)

I actually think having one of those outdoor jacuzzi's especially for your honeymoon would be such a treat! we're booking an oceanview for now also. waiting until we go down for the site visit to see if we will upgrade our room further. i'd like to see them in person before we shell out the extra cash to make sure its worth it lol

Don't you love them?! I ended up getting a sample though so I walked out with my dress that day (albeit about eight sizes too big) please post the dress so we can see it! I posted mine awhile back on this thread if you're interested in seeing it. I haven't been able to find it anywhere else but on pronovias.com. Its under the 2011 Link, Fashion Collection and the 3rd image in "Francoli". Its not an actual image that I can copy per say, so I I have no idea how I would post it :-s But yes, I LOVE the dresses. I had my eye on one of the Manuel Mota gowns and one Elie Saab gown also from the 2010 collection but very quickly jumped ship once I found this one. I'm going to go back and try and find yours.:-) And thank you for that tidbit about a year to get after you order! YIKES! Better get on it.

You'll get the spanky brand new version which is a plus :-) It sounds like an awful experience that the original poster went through though. Sorry you had to deal with that. Hopefully their sister resort (DRC) doesn't give any similar experiences :-s

LOVE this thread - never even heard of doing this but it would be an awesome gift before the wedding :-)

You are workin it! He going to love these!

Does anyone know when the 2011 collection gowns will be available in stores. Fell in love with one from the Pronovias 2011 collection but I guess it may be awhile until they'll be available to try on :-s

Fellow 2011 bride here. Been looking back over the last few pages and finding all sorts of info. Congrats to everyone :-)

P90X...I did plyometrics and abs last night and I'm totally feeling it today. I guess I should expect that from something called 'Ab Ripper'! Mexbride--You're right, the Priscilla in Tyson's is pretty limited. I actually found my dress at their store in Orlando where my family lives. It was huge and amazing. I tried on a Bliss dress at Hannelore's, the organza in the dress was really light and felt great for a DW. Here's my dress...it's lace with tulle at the bottom. Picking lace was a surprise for me: You look fabulous!

Funny story actually, with all the weight loss talk... So my fiance's MARRIED coworker just found out I'm a dietitian, and said to him "smart man, marrying a dietitian" and my fiance asked "why's that?" Coworker: "Because the only difference between a girlfriend and a wife is 30 pounds" My fiance thought that was hilarious, and I was thinking that if I was that man's wife I would kill him for saying that! Ummm ... DITTO lol

Those are lovely! Beautiful colors, beautiful scenery .... gorgeous bride!

LOL at the Insanity questions. I haven't attempted it yet but my other half did and took his back out on Day 1. I teased him about thinking he was still a young buck for a week - hee hee

I am not a fan of Dreya or her "roll" LOL Uggh I fell off of the everyday workout since easter :-s guess I'm back to trying again. Will I ever hit Day 90 lol

Thanks so much!

For example, I am getting 3 bridesmaid bouquets instead of table arrangements because I have my own centerpieces. C/JUKICA/]Nelli & Ivica[/url] I'm getting the Ultimate Wedding Package - is there somewhere that I am overlooking included centre pieces. The only florals for the tables that I saw that were included in the package were the ones for the ceremony table and the bride and grooms table at the reception. This is why I out sourced for my center pieces for the guests tables at the reception. Just wanted to check if those were the only table arrangements you were referring to for the bouquet trade-off and that i am not overlooking something. Thanks

Non-resort related question. Does anyone know when the 2011 collections will be available in stores. Fell in love with what I'm pretty sure is "the dress" but its from the 2011 collection :-s Assuming that it'll be months before its even available in stores?

Quote: Originally Posted by Boo I have actually been looking for linen as well!

Thanks! There prices are turning out to be very reasonable. So far I'm getting all my additional 4 florals and color sashes for the chuppah decor, 8 florals for the aisle chairs at the ceremony (which they are designing to be reused as centerpieces for the guests tables at the reception), blue sashes for the chairs, fire dancers, and the white lycra-covered tower columns for lighting. The columns are pretty wicked too because they do the lighting inside the colums with whatever you colors are (in my case blue). Now she's just sending me some variation designs on their lounge furniture to go around the dance floor but its looking pretty swank - I'm loving it. As for communication - GIRL she is fabulous! Super nice, super professional and very prompt. She gives great feedback too whenever I ask for an honest opinion. Here's the kicker though - her name is Ana too hee hee.

Feeling good today. I got an initial contract summary from Zuniga Productions for the additional ceremony and reception decor, corresponded with Ivan from DooReemix that he can slot us in for his DJ services and dance floor for May 8th and will forward the 2011 rates when he posts them AND emailed and got a ridiculously prompt response back from Ana! Finally got my form sent to me for the deposit :-) I decided to stay motivated and even choose the items for the welcome bags and favors for the reception tables. Guess it pays to be stuck inside on rainy days - I was actually productive today :-) Now for then next year to go by ... LOL
