Hello fello BDW Brides!! Thank you all for sharing your beautiful dresses!! I have a dilemma and could use some advice. I found a dress online and had the bridal store order it for me with 1/2 down pymt. The dress won't be in until end of June... sooo since then I have decided I do not want this dress and have decided on a totally different style. I found a 2nd dress that I think I love and I was able to try it on, my only concern is that the front it is too plain. I'm comptelely in love with the back BUT the back is not going to be the focal point so I have to decide if it's enough. Ugh... so stressed. I have attached front a back pics of both dresses... any advise, thoughts or comments would be appreciated. 1st pic is the dress I ordered and now don't want (ball gown, modern, couture), 2nd pic is the dress I think I want (simple, classic with a dramatic back)??

Hello fellow BDW Brides!! Happy Easter!! Hope you are all doing well... it's been a few months since my last post. I spent a couple hours reading yesterday with a glass of wine so I'm all caught up! Congratulations to all recent brides... so exciting!! Can't wait to read the reviews! I didn't see Jesmcan's wedding review, did I miss it? We sent out our wedding invitations on April 13th and already have 9 booked and counting!! Oh we just came back from a friends wedding in punta cana, it was so great to see how it all comes together. All I can say is that it justified all my reasons for wanting a wedding away, it was so relaxing and perfect!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Jenny, your pictures are beautiful... you look so relaxed and happy in every pic!

Congratulations!!!

Oh no!! you poor thing, that must of hurt like crazy. I understand your dilema but honestly it doesn't look that bad... I think with some foundation and or self tanner lotion you could blend it. Everyone will be looking at you and your dress not your finger plus like you said ivan will edit the professional pics for youl Good luck hun... OMG soooo close:)

Hi Everyone!! You know I haven't thought too hard about this and it's very interesting to read everyones comments. I kinda like my name as it's been me my whole life... having said that I can't wait to have my FI's last name too. The more I think about it, i'll probably keep mine and hyphenate, so everyone will know me as my married last name but anyone who didn't know I was married will still reconize me! hmmm... yep I think that'll work. Thanks ladies...

Thanks Wendy, I plan to have my reception in front of the gazebo but I know the Pelicanos has a larger beach area so it's hard to choose. I'm sure they are both great:) It's difficult to decide when you can't be there, really appreciate your feedback.

Congratulations msglave... the pictures are beautiful. Funny how everything seems to work out in the end... glad your make up mishap turned out for the best:) Can't wait to read your review and see more pics!!

OMG... you looked so beautiful:) Congratulations!!! Love your dress!!!

Happy Holiday's EVERYONE!!!! Hope you all had an amazing Christmas with your friends and family... I sure did, it was so wonderful... except I ate way too much :0 Now it's back to work and wedding planning!!!

Hey Sarah, wow Feb 5 is just around the corner... so exciting! My WC is Claudy as well:) She's been great except a little slow this past month. I know she just came back from her own wedding/holidays at the beg of December. Probably playing catch up!

GC2008, I agree with all the ladies here. After reading all the wonderful reviews from past brides this resort sounds like the perfect place. Nothing to worry about;)

What a beautiful reception dress!! Love it!!

So pretty and unique:)

OMG... what an amazing planning thread!!! I'm going to a friend's wedding at the Gran Bahia DR in April and I was just going thru the threads and found this one. It has been so helpful, you have given me so many wonderful ideas. I absolutely love that you took pics of your outfits, that is so something I would do! All I can think is how long this must of taken you to put together! I'm getting married next November so I have lots of time to get creative... so once again THANK-YOU and best of luck!!!

Hope you had an awesome day msglave!! Can't wait to hear all about it. Congratulations!!

Beautiful pictures, love the mayan ceremony. Looks like everyone had a wonderful time:)

Great review Rachel, Thanks for sharing and congratulations!

Phew, I finally caught up! Miss a few days and you miss allot. So nice to read all the recent reviews and look a pics!!! Congratulations to all recent brides! We are so excited... we just received our STD cards and we plan to mail them out on Monday! It really feels official now.

Yay... more pics!!!! Love it:)

Awe Randi.renstrom, thanks for posting the link to your pics... they are absolutely beautiful. Each and every time I see pics of a new wedding at the Royal it just gives me peace of mind. It's true everyone worries but by the looks of things we really don't have to. I only hope that I will be lucky like all the brides before me to have such a perfect day! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations FutureMrsYak!!! Glad everything was perfect:) I love your hair style and starfish, you looked beautiful:) Thanks for the comments about the resort photographer... good to know you loved them.
