Thank you! That helps out a lot!!

Does anyone know what the table set up is like for the reception? Do they use 1 or 2 long tables, or rounds? Do you get a choice?

Beautiful!

Wow, that's a lot to pay for chairs. I would definitely do it if I could though, I'm not a fan of the covered chairs either. That is NUTS what they wanted to charge for centrepieces!

Thanks ladies - it's a dress from Ella bridals. It is organza and feels AMAZING on. Here's the link: http://www.ellabridals.com/gowns.php This is me actually IN the dress: Jonesr1979 - I love your dress as well! Beautiful!

Sweet! I ordered mine in July, it's supposed to be here this month but nothing yet. I'm starting to get a TEENY bit worried. I'll be calling them Feb 1st if it's not here! lol.

Ah! You're the person who beat me to the date! lol. We were really aiming for 11-11-11 because my grandparents were married on that day, but our travel agent was so slow getting back to us, I missed out. Now we're aiming for 11-10-11, so we may see you there!

Jen - do you know what the chairs are like for the reception? Are they nice enough to use uncovered?

It comes out blurry - the quality is too low. If only it were that simple! lol.

I tried that but it comes out blurry. The quality is too low.

Haha I do love DMB, but I didn't know that's where it came from! I am going to frame the sign and put it on next to the escort cards...

Do anyone know where I can get a "Eat, drink and be married" sign like this? Preferably for free. lol. I tried to make one myself with different fonts, but I can't get the layout as pretty.

Thanks for the replies ladies. Unfortunately, we didn't have the option of using Air Canada as they don't have our hotel. The price of our package isn't listed on Westjet vacations yet (they have just released the pricing for November this week) so I have nothing to compare our price to. I didn't know but apparently Expedia does group rates - I emailed them but haven't heard back. I think we're still going to go with the Westjet group bookings and just be done with it. Fi's going back and forth with them as we speak to try and get some questions answered.

I'm going to order a few sample flowers from them and see how they look. A few other sites I found that ship to Canada: Beau-coup.com craftsnfavors.com. asianideas.com

Thank you for taking the time to post that great review! Reading all these positive reviews lately is making me very excited! I would love to see a few photos if you want to post some!

Wow - I'm so happy I found this thread! Great finds!

We are wanting to do a group booking through Westjet so that people are able to put down a deposit and have a few months to save for the rest, however, some people are starting to find cheaper rates on Expedia and may book through them - and then I'm worried we won't have enough people booking through the group booking and our rate will go up. My MOH found a higher tier room AND a $250 spa credit package through expedia for $200 less than our group rate, on the same airline. Which means we'd be on the same flight - but she paid less than other guests AND gets the spa credit. It's frustrating. It seems group rates aren't so great at all. I find it all very stressful. Is anyone else going through this? What did you do? I guess our options are: 1) Let everyone fend for themselves and try to find the best rate they can - but that may mean less people come if they're not able to use the deposit system. OR 2) Go through the group booking (which means Fi and I pay a little more too) so that people have the option of putting down a deposit, and hope people book that way.

Thanks ladies! Can't wait to wear it!!

Great, thanks! I will have a look at those. I'll also post any other sites I come across... it would be nice to be able to order most things from one website, but that may be wishful thinking.

GREAT thread! I'm also doing orange and fuschia/magenta/red with hints of blue...

They don't ship to Canada.

I spent so much time on saveoncrafts.com and found a TON of stuff I was going to order, but they don't ship to Canada! Does anyone know a wonderful decor/supplies website that is Canadian or ships to Canada that has good reviews?? Thanks!

This is mine. It has straps (not shown in picture) that I may or may not wear. I'm also adding a flower where the top meet the skirt, at the bottom of the "slant". Can't wait!

I tried this dress on and LOVED it! I ended up getting one very similar (see below)- the skirt is the same, just a bit different on top. So I am biased but I am in love with that dress!

Thanks! You have mail
