Thank you, now I can finally relax!

Hi Ladies! Its been a few weeks since my last post, and I LOVE all the pictures you've shared. Here's what my real touch flowers will look like and a picture of my BM dress! For our centre piece, we will put our BM flowers (in a square glass vase) with tea light candles on each side of the vase. What do you think?    Instead of the green rose, I will have white calla lilies  My MOH's dress is floor-length, my other BM's will have knee-length =) (Sorry for the tiny photo!) Â

Hey ladies! Â After SO MUCH back and forth with ROR, we got a call from Antonette saying she will honour the Poolside reception that Chandlyn had confirmed with me. I feel so much better! Now we won't have to worry about the other Wedding possibly wanting to book the same location, which was my only concern. Â Yay

Hi Ladies, Â If any of you are interested in a fun do-it-yourself magnetic boutonniere for your FI and the GM, I found this link: http://www.ubloom.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=408&Itemid=224 Â We are ordering real touch bout's and adding the magnets ourselves! Â Enjoy!

Love your pics and your bouquet!! Congratulations, you looked amazing.

 Thank you so much for sharing! I am definitely including this pamphlet with our guests accomodations/flight confirmations!

Hi hiccups, that was my concern as well. Â When i finally received an email from the new WC (a month or so after my inital email) she said that all confirmations are done at the pre-Wedding meeting and that none would be given until then. The only thing that is confirmed is our Wedding location and time, which was confirmed by Sales. I've forwarded Sales and the WC my email from Chandlynn with the written confirmation but, she they keep saying they doesn't know any arrangements Chandlynn made, and every will be confirmed at the meeting. Â I'm not happy about this at all... Â

Hi hiccups, I found out about the new policy from the new WC herself. She sent me an email saying this is how it is done now. I think because my Wedding is still next May, she feels theres no need to worry about my past correspondence/confirmations with Chandlynn because there is more than enough time to hammer out all the details (again).... Â Quote: Originally Posted by hiccups eddieandsheila - I'm in the same boat as you. It's been frustrating trying to get a reply/confirmation from the WC. Where did you hear that the policy has changed regarding confirmations?? I haven't been told this and totally unaware!! Other brides have posted that their ceremony time was also double booked and were bumped to an earlier time than what they had booked. I emailed the sales dept. in Mexico to confirm AGAIN my wedding date and ceremony time as well told them that I'm still waiting to hear back from the WC. I got a reply saying that my date and time is confirmed and he has forwarded my email to the WC at ROR so she can contact me...I don't know if an email coming from their office will push the WC to contact me. Just a side note, not only has the WC changed but also the head sales person at the sales office in Mexico and their email address has changed as well...I had no idea. Â Â Jesselyn10, I've also been in contact with the bride who is getting married on the same day, and she wants the poolside reception as well... I'm just hoping everything works out.

Thank you for your review! You looked beautiful! Â I had a quick question... did you get those chairs from ROR, or where they from another vendor?

I'm ordering my BM dresses next week! So exciting! =)

Hi Ladies, Â I'm another bride who's having serious issues with the change of WC. In March, Chandlynn confirmed the poolside reception for our Wedding, but after she was fired they changed a few of their policies (and the BIG one is confirmations). Basically, you can only confirm your location once you arrive - but because it was already confirmed to us, we put that information on our Wedding invitations, which have already been sent out. There is another Wedding happening on our day, so our planning has turned into a free-for-all... first come, first serve. Â I'm really unhappy that ROR did not contact brides to notify us of the change in WC. Seems very unprofessional. If they want to change the policy, it should be moving forward - rather than jeopardizing plans any bride made before the change. I've already got quotes from vendors for the poolside reception and now it seems I have to start from scratch. Â Sorry for venting.... ROR could have/should have handled this situation better!

Â Â Â Â OMG, I love your dress! It's gorgeous! Â

STILL havent heard from Tina....

Aww, thanks ladies! I fell in love with this dress shortly after we got engaged (almost 2 years ago). When I found out they were sold out, I was so disappointed, so looked for other dresses. This was still the one my BM's and I loved the most. I'm glad we're getting them made Quote: Originally Posted by Canadiansandy Wow what a gorgeous dress! Can I ask how much it's costing you to have them made? I've been looking everywhere for BM dresses but I'm having absolutely no luck finding what I want! I'm thinking having them made might be my best option... Canadiansandy, my mom's seamstress friend is making them for me (she actually made my prom dress!). They're $120CAD (includes labour, material and fitting) - it's a bit more than what they were selling for, but its THE dress for my girls, so I wont settle for anything less

Here is a picture of the BM dress we are having made for the Wedding. My MOH will have the same colour/style, except her dress will be strapless.

We currently have 22 booked (including my FI and I). We're looking to cap it at 50 guests.

We arrive on Wednesday, and are getting married on Saturday!

Here's what my set will look like! I LOVE it I took this pic when we were looking for my FI's Wedding band!
