Max 25 days. they take 10-15 to make the dress and 5-10 for shipping.

I found them on DHgate.com. It is like a chinese ebay! Here is the link to my dress so that you can find the seller as their name on their is wywedding. http://www.dhgate.com/p_ff8080812aa2505c012aa2cbace10d13.html  There is a thread on knock off dresses which is where i heard about them. Check it out and you can see and hear reviews from different vendors. Gianinar from Ebay seems popular and Monica Bridal. My bridesmaids dresses are probably only going to cost 70$ each which is a steal. I am waiting to get my dress back first and then will order theirs from the same vendor as the communication was so good. As long as i received all that i was promised and i like the quality then I will be ordering more from them.

The seller name is wywedding. Here is the link to the item number for my dress. you should be able to find them this way.  http://www.dhgate.com/p_ff8080812aa2505c012aa2cbace10d13.html  Good Luck!

Thanks Lauren! It was because of you too that I went with them! They were so patient with all my questions and requests. Now the waiting anxiously begins!

I love the dress you picked and can't wait to see the final product on the bride to be!!! I ended up going with Monica Bridal as the communication was better with them for me.

Congrats on getting the STD's done! Make sure you post a pic. I got lucky with my FI's family addresses cause just before we got engaged they planned a 40th for his parents and had a list of all the guests invited and their addresses. It was beautiful! I must of tried on 1000 dresses and finally picked the one i liked and them changed a couple of things so i am excited to see how it will turn out too! Sept 27th is the latest it should be here so when I find someone to help me lace up that corset I will post pics for sure. Still need to lose weight though so it will have to be altered as i gave them my measurements now but in 8months from now I am hoping to be about 40pounds lighter!

The dress I liked was the sottero and midgley ssm5161 http://www.sotteroandmidgley.com/dress.aspx?keywordText=ssm5161&keywordType=any&page=0&pageSize=15&style=SSM5161  But I wanted some changes made to the beading and embroidery so I am having it custom made and these are the instructions i sent   And well if when it arrives before the end of this month and I don't like it, then I will use it for the TTD and will order the original. I am saving a ton of money this way(only $144US) through Monica Bridal and every penny counts so hopefully I LOVE the one I am having made but if not oh well I will order the original and sell it after the wedding to recoup some funds lol

Congrats futuredawson! Â Ladies I have ordered my dress!!!! So excited! I can't wait to see how it looks.

I did it ladies! Dress is ordered. OMG i am so excited. Should be here no later than Sept 27th!!!!!!

That's awesome Mocha! It's seems to all be coming together. Have you paid for the dress yet? I was going to today but couldn't reach them with one last question so i may wait till tonight or tomorrow but i am so anxious to get that dress lol

Kristie-I see you went with Ivan. So did I. All booked up for the wedding and TTD session, so excited. I am sure I will have my pics well before your wedding so I can show you mine. Â

Thanks for posting the link, If i get any questions i know when to direct them. Â

I didn't even hear that yet. Very sad and closer than I thought! You might wanna check on facebook on the now jade page and ask Diana as she is very good at responding to emails and quite helpful. She may know more information and could provide further reassurance. I don't plan on leaving the resort much so I am not too concerned but then again you never know. Anything can happen anywhere. I guess I kinda look at it as you can't really prevent these sort of things from happening. A canadian was just returned to Canada after being detained for 3 months when he was hit by a vehicle while he was in a rental. Brutal what happens in other countries. Â

Thanks prettypigpig, guess i am a little anxious lol I will put my patient hat on now! Â

I am not concerned at all. I have been to the Mayan 2 times and nothing has ever happened. I haven't heard anything about violence in the area we are going. I know there are issues at the border with drug cartells but that will not affect any of us. I wouldn't worry about it too much especially since our weddings are so far away. If you stick to staying on the resort or only going to the tourist places with groups and not in the middle of the night then I think everyone will be safe.

I am bringing my own centerpieces and bows to save on costs. You can save alot by going simple and just bringing a few items with you as the cost at the resort is excessive in my opinion. I loved the look of this resort! Did you enjoy your stay. Any tips or recommendations? Â

I wanted to pay for my dress today from monica bridal but had one questions before and I sent emails and a chat with no response. Usually they respond instantly. Has anyone had contact with them in the last couple of days?

Welcome snl and congrats on the engagement! Where are you from and do you have a date in mind! Hi Kristie and Hanna! The chairs included are the ones with the white chairs covers. Don't know what type of chair is under it though! Going to be ordering my dress today! So excited!

The website I went on was http://www.tableclothsfactory.com/Turquoise-Chair-Sash-p/chair_sash_turq.htm  Check around and see what is there. They are pretty cheap!

Lua! Â Hi there fellow Torontonian! Â That is a beautiful dress and suits you so well!!!! Stunning! Congrats on finding such a steal!

If I did STD's I would have done the one with the three pictures of us holding up little signs with the date. I saw someone on here do it and it looked really cute and can be uploaded into a vista print template. For example for you you and the FI would take a pic holder up a 5 then one with a 4 and then one with an 11 for the date of your wedding. Just an idea!

Great let's do this then. I don't know numbers either and we don't need to order them anytime soon as they are shipped within 24 hours. but we can talk more about details later. Do you like the chair bows I was thinking of? It looks like we may even have the same number of guests so it may work out perfect. We will both have to pay the resort 1$ for ironing them though but at 0.69cent a piece plus shipping that's not bad. Â

Just sent you a pm. I am in toronto also.

so happy to hear you are enjoying your dress before the big day! I am sooo glad you posted them also cause now I can't wait to enjoy mine. I hope i am as happy with mine as you are with yours!

i was told by Sandra that there are vases and votives around the resort that can be used for free for centerpieces so i would ask ana to send you a pic of those items and if you could share the pics that would be great. I asked pillar and she sent me one pic but i can't seem to open it anymore and i believe there are more items available than that based on what sandra told me. This could save us all alot of money and transportation headaches! I think your plan to stick with white is good. You could throw in a splash of pink and use the stargazer lily centerpiece i saw in the book. Â
