I hope i didn't offend anyone. The list I posted was only the list of the ones I contacted based on what I found online that interested me enough to contact the photographer. There are many very qualified photographers in the RM that do beautiful work! It comes down to a matter of personal taste and what works for each individual. Whatever you do, don't hesitate to reach out to the photographers and ask questions! That's the only way you will make a completely informed decision as to what is right for you! Best of luck!

Oh that is so pretty!! I love the ruffles! that seems to be something I'm partial to as well. one or two of the styles I've looked at them too! Of course you will!! It may take a little work... but there is a dress out there for everyone! You could always spend some time looking online and see if you see styles that you like ahead of time, and the different designers that are out there! It's so much fun to look at them all! lol

Has anyone posted a review in the Vendor Reviews section of the site? I didn't check to see but it would be very helpful if someone, or several people did. It's a big help for anyone that is reviewing vendors through that portion of the site. Not everyone will get to see these specific posts. It's unfortunate that there are unscrupulous people everywhere, and the word "wedding" immediately makes vendors see dollar signs. Good luck to the people that have a had a bad experience!

Love your thread! And such a cute story! Being a second time arounder too - don't know if that's a word or not lol - the big D really does suck. It's tougher when you have kids I think - they always get caught in the middle. But I too found the love of my life after thinking it would never happen again, so I know totally what you're talking about. We have been together almost 13 years and I love him more now than ever. We've been through a lot too. I think it makes you stronger if the relationship is good. If it isnt', then it just helps it fall apart quicker. We've had our ups and downs - don't think there is anyone that doesn.t but marriage takes work and if you know it's what you want, then you find ways to get on with it! Definitely want to hear more!! And the pics are great!! LOVE your ring!!!

Congrats and welcom to BDW!! There is a wealth of information here that will get you through all the different stages of your planning. You're well ahead of things if you're August 2015 so this site will be a great resource for you, and the brides, past and present are very willing to share their tips and ideas, both good and bad. Here is the thread I found for other grand sirenis brides that may help. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/38741-grand-sirenis-riviera-maya-brides/ Good luck and happy planning!

For starters, I'll recommend that you relax! Mexico has some absolutely wonderful photographers that take stunning photos. It will come down to your budget, what the outside vendor fee is at your resort, and what you're looking for. Here are the ones that I've looked at, which is probably most of them! www.delsolphotography.com Very popular with brides on this site. For my budget, they were high but that is strictly a personal choice. www.cancunphotos.net Sascha Gluck too does some beautiful work, and also responds quite quickly. I'm still looking at him for us. www.claudiaphoto.com www.deansandersonweddings.com Dean and his wife Anna seem very personable, and she answers inquiries very quickly. She also provided some suggestions for some things that I was trying to get information on. I really like his work but for my budget I'm still trying to figure out if I can afford them. www.elizabethmedina.com www.gonzalonunez.com www.luckiephotography.com www.bicoastalimages.com This is a couple that do photography. I really like their work and they are also on my short list. Their photos for what I want are really great! www.momentsthatmatterphotography.com www.photographyisforever.com www.ceciliadumas.com Cecilia's work is stunning, at least for me. Her colours are fabulous and she is on my short list. I would highly recommend going through the vendor reviews and see the different comments from other brides. And check out their websites to see what attracts you to their work, if it actually does. Everyone's tastes are personal when it comes to photography so you'll see something in one that you like, but maybe not in another. And as I said, your budget will be an important factor plus how much your resort charges to bring in an outside photographer. This isn't all of them by any means - it's just some of the ones that I looked at that stuck with me when I reviewed their photos. Good luck and happy planning! Oh yes - and welcome to BDW. You'll definitely find enough information here to get you through the rest of your planning! .

Congrats on being a Mrs.! I was a Jamaica bride too! Glad to hear everything was wonderful! I'm looking forward to your review and pics too!!

You're so luck you know what you want! lol At least I'm narrowing it down... to like 25! lol But there's just no point for me in trying anything on right now. I'll probably wait until Xmas this year. I should be back on my feet by then and back at work. Money will be tight for the months that I'm off work again and we'll know by Xmas how things turned out and if we'll have anything else to go through

Where did you go? Have you looked online at the different designers to get an idea of what you're looking for? They are all there and it's loads of fun to look. Maggie Sottero, Essense Designs, Mori Lee, Mon Cheri, Allure. Even David's Bridal has an online website that you could look at. The thing is, just a tip, look at the US site. It has more detail than the Canadian site and the prices are all on the US site too. The Canadian prices are, on average, about $50 to $100 more than the US prices if that helps.

Thanks! lol it makes me feel like a kid in school again!! lol

Congrats and welcome to BDW!! You'll find tons of information here that will be a big help!! You sound like you might be in the US? If so, Wright Travel is definitely the TA for you to get in touch with. They are DW specialists and have access to all different perks for groups depending on where you're going! You can get in touch with them right from this site! Good luck and happy planning!!

Ok so here goes. You ladies have to remember something! I am NOT a DIYer in any way shape or form!! But here's my attempt at door cards, key holder cards, luggage tags and kit topper cards Door cards.pptx SurvivalKit Topper-2.ppt our mexico keycard holder.ppt shake at the kiss-2.doc

Your pics are gorgeous! who did your photography? And your dress is beautiful! Hi. Does anyone have recent package information that they would be willing to share? PM me if you do. Thanks.

really pretty! and I love the touch of pink you're adding! who is the designer?

Thanks. That helps. I was hoping it was closer to Playa but I guess 15 minutes isn't bad.... I'm also in Toronto. Well west of Toronto, but I commute to downtown!

They look great!

I know there is Thomson from the UK. I have family that use them all the time. You could try googling all inclusive travel from _____ and see what it brings up. I know German people travel frequently to Mexico and the Caribbean as much as Brits so there must be sites over there for travellers. Thomson is the only one I'm aware of that comes with a recommendation.

You could also try www.sassyapparelblanks.com they have some decent deals on bags.

Have a wonderful time and make sure you post pics and give a report when you get back!! All the best! danielleandryan2015 The Bay is a canadian store and believe me, shipping between canada and the US is expensive so probably not worth the trouble. There are a couple of places that you could look at that are in the US. You could check out Tommy Bahama online. They also have a few stores around the States and have a specific destination wedding section. You may find them a bit pricey for what you want. Just check the website - tommybahama.com There is also a website called islandimporters.com They do all kinds of Caribbean style shirts and pants and might be a little more reasonable in price for you. Don't know what state you're in but Kohl's also has a silk shirt section starting about this time of year. Short sleeve and some nice patterns depending on what you want. I'm not certain but I think someone also mentioned Macy's for men's linen pants or JCP, and Kohls again. My husband got his wedding pants at Kohls. My stepson lives in the US so we go all the time to see our grandchildren. oh yes, and there is always Mens Warehouse. If you catch their sales you can get some good deals. Hope that helps! Good luck!

Hi ladies. There is a new tax being imposed in Mexico starting in 2015 so the resort is probably raising prices to offset the new tax. I've seen it quoted on a couple of other resort sites that the new tax is coming in. How far is this resort from Playa? Is it walkable, or would you have to take a taxi? The website for the resort says 15 minutes.... Thanks.

it usually all comes right in the end! have a wonderful time!!

I love that ! it's gorgeous! Davids Bridal has the long slips, either that are waist only or go strapless from the top. check it out online and see what they have

I love that! really pretty and I love the ruffles too!

That looks really pretty!! And it definitely fits! Congrats!!

omg those are just adorable!!! oh I like those! and I like the colour too! My daughter in law wants a long dress and she wants pink which I'm fine with since I want my hubby in turquoise. I found this from another bride on this site. don't remember what colour she had but I'm fine with the hot pink. But I also love this colour too.
