Ella-your dress is beautiful and the corset back will give you that flexibility you are looking for. Teira-All three look awesome but I think #3 pops more with the bright pink. Brandy-Rebecca has got some talent for sure and the kits look great and full, guests are going to really appreciate them for sure. Thanks for the shoe compliments, I still think i may add the rhinestone starfish just to keep with my theme. Bad news, no dress fitting alteration for my TTD tomorrow, my girl was in a car accident (hit and run) and in alot of pain so that will have to wait. Hopefully she will be ok, she just went to the hospital after going home because she is passing blood so I hope it is not internal bleeding or anything serious. On another note, my package for the resort went down 120$ per person so hopefully on monday i will get the price drop guarantee they promised me. Let's see!!!! Also, don't laugh but if any of you have seen the Koodo commercials with El Tabador the mexican wrestler, I got one of his figurines to use on our cake topper because his big smile reminds me and my sisters of him and it just cracks us up everytime we see the commercials. I will post a pic at a later date. FI always calls me a campbells kid and I found a figurine on ebay that is perfect, just need to work out some shipping costs with the seller so I will post them together.

Here are the pics of the shoes i ended up getting last weekend at Aldo. A little late!

Apparently these are 58cents at old navy. I think for the american girls, not sure about canada if anyone is interested. good for OOT bags

Greys-I think the dress is perfect for the TTD. You want more boob in those pics I think cause you can make some sexy shots in the ocean on the sand and also when you are floating on the water in the cenote they will look FAB!

Lindsay-I contacted Alex and she got right back to me and said she emailed her and that if I don't hear from her to let her know. Look like things are looking up! cool site with the vitual tour!

Mocha you are the next Cake Boss lol. they look fantastic and so yummy. Where did you get those clear boxes they are in?

Thanks Linsay I am in contact with Alejandra also so I will try that!

Hi Lindsay I emailed her and it took a week to get my first response, then I sent her an email with a detailed documents on all flowers with pictures that i wanted to get a price quote on over two weeks ago and no response. I re-emailed her again a couple of days ago and still nothing. I tried to call the number on her website and it didn't go through so i don't know what to tell you. i am waiting for her response to send my flower requests to the hotel cause i want mostly orchids and i think the resort is going to charge me an arm and a leg. Her first email to me was that she can do my flowers and then some pics of flowers in the colors I liked but then nothing! Concerns me that it takes her so long to respond. Maybe she is getting pricing from her supplier but at least respond to let me know! Lisa

Wow another busy day! Thanks for all the replies on OOT bags. I forgot I also had doorhangers in there. We also have maracas for the reception kissing thing, starfish wine bottle stoppers, fans for the ceremony and rose petals in little bags for each guest rather than bubbles. I am going to have to figure out the number of couples and singles and see about budget but I would love to add more stuff! Still not sure what to get the parents as gifts though. We have our gifts for the BM's and BM. lsmith-that is awesome, good for you. I can't wait till mine comes in but in the meantime I am taking the knockoff I got that was far from perfect and going to a seamstress on sunday to see what we can do with it for a reasonable cost so I can maybe salvage it for my TTD. It's a beautiful dress with amazing beadwork but was way too big, beads in wrong place and the boning wasn't strong enough to hold up the girls! Lua-my two cents would be insulated mugs, I live by them at a resort, always bring my own rather than the koozies but if that is out of the budget then scrap them. If alot of your guest are beer drinkers then the koozie would be the way to go though! Mocha-I thought about trying to find them in mexico but I was going to be far too busy and the first couple of days before the wedding that I didn't want that stress and really wanted them for the reception so I went with Amols, they are super cheap, I think I paid1.22$ per maraca after all was said and done with shipping to the states. My granma and friend are going to split them up and bring them in their suitcases because they are only coming for 4 days and won't have much to pack. The girl I dealt with is Monica, you can call her and she will give you a cost to canada if you are interested. Sorry to hear that Michelle-my dad told me at the beginning of this that I should have spent 10$ and got married at city hall!!!!! First it's not 10 dollars and Second you can imagine how hurtful that way, anyway he has since smartened up and is on board now thank god because we are so close and the silent treatment to him was killing me lol OMG 96 days for me! and we leave in 93~ yipee!

I didn't go throught he hotel but I think the group coordinator is Patricia. If you call the hotel and ask for her they will put you through.

For those doing the oot bags, are you giving one per person or per couple. For example you have a couple in one room, are they each getting their own welcome letter etc... I am not necessarily doing oot bags but I do want to give a welcome letter,itinerary of events, personalized pen with postcards for guest and for guestbook,lanyards with key card holder, ok so i guess this is kind of an oot bag lol but I don't have a bag. What would you guys put this stuff in that is more economical? Any ideas or should I just suck it up and get bags?

Great site thanks! No mosquitos for me!!!!! YAY

I hope there are no mosquitos at the end of April!

oooh so tempted, i guess it will depend on shipping costs. Sorry to hear about the drama with your guests. Trista LOL I hear you. I am on my third agent at Sears, don't book with them!!!! First one quit and didn't send out invoices after deposits were made and had the grooms name wrong on documents, second girl was a shit show and took over a week to call people back and didn't even return calls to me and then when I complained said she was very busy WHAT!!!!!! this is a $70,000 file and you better not be too busy so I sent a email on the weekend to the manager and she is now taking over the file and thank god cause she is much more organized! Things are getting done!

Thanks Brandy that was exactly what I was looking for but the shipping was 24$ and the shoes I found here at aldo were very similar for 28$ taxes in. Sorry I haven't had a chance to upload the pics yet. I am crazy and thinking of buying a property on auction in florida behind my grandmas house which is taking up my computer time. There is a great BD photgrapher here for a reasonable price but I haven't lost what I wanted to yet so not sure If i am going to do it for the wedding. Maybe our anniversary if I am not preggo lol

Thanks Mocha and I hope she apologizes! I am still not speaking with one of my sisters either so I know how it is.

Wow that is great. Currently FI travels from Brampton to Aurora and I travel from Brampton to Yonge and Steeles in Thornhill so I feel your commute pain. I hope he gets it!

Hey Mocha, I haven't ordered the fans yet. I like the ones you found but I am scared they won't be the right colors once received and also the other ones are much easier to use everywhere and pack because they fold in. Are you thinking of getting those ones or are you still considering the ones I showed you? Hope everything has worked itself out with you and your sister. Lua-Finger crossed for you and FI. 2011 is looking to be a great year. All the best and I wish him luck!

Tris that means I am in double digits now *Woop Woop* Holy crap it is coming sooooo fast!

Tris everything looks AMAZING. Great job! Mocha-Love the ring set and don't stress you will have a blast. Everyone that I have talked to that has done a BD shoot say it was awesome in the end. I don't think FI will care about who took the pictures once he sees them and has them all to himself to look at whenever he wants! lsmith-love the labels! I am crossing my fingers for you that they stay on this time! Thanks for the suggestion for the suits. I am going to check that out tonight with FI and see what he thinks. Brandy-I will post pics tonight. They are just standard low heel silver thong sandals with rhinestones but I saw a vendor in the mail that sells starfish brooches and tried one on with it and it looked great, just need to justify spending 40$ for the two brooches on top of the 28 I paid for the shoes.

I plan on bringing some in my carry on. I don't think there are restrictions on that but I am not 100% sure.

Brandy-Don't stress girl! It's ok that he has seen the dress cause seeing YOU in the dress will be totally different! He is going to melt i am sure! I have shown FI my dress online when I was trying to decide on a style with many others of course but he won't remember that it was even one I showed him once it is on me lol Greysgirl-Wow good for you, you got ALOT done! Funny that you posted that suit link, I went to that site today but it says it is down for maintenance so I can't see any of the suits. Oh yeah girls I finally got FI to agree to wearing a suit! YAY well minus the tie but that's ok. He already has white linen pants but I don't think I will be able to match a jacket to it so we may have to find a white linen suit if anyone has any suggestions for sites I would love to hear them. Oh and I found sandals at aldo's today for 50% off Paid 28$ taxes included. And found stuff for my gift bag for the flower girl and ring boy and that was about all I accomplished this weekend. Well i also kinda figured out what excursions we are going to do on each island we are visiting in greece just haven't booked them yet.

Love it Brandy and it's very flattering for any body type becasue of the empire waist. Good call!
