No problem Torilynn. I also saw JQ's dress, which looks gorgeous! I'm also worried about fluctuating in weight. So I'm not sure exactly when to order.

Hey ladies, Torilynnsmith: I have not ordered the dress yet, but I am planning to order the Pronovias Fresno gown. But I totally agree with saving the money on dress you'll only wear for one day. I hope you hear from them soon, the other vendors I contacted were slow at answering my questions, which made me nervous about having a dress made. Brit canuck: They have a great facebook page that has pictures of the actual dresses they've made. They all look soooo beautiful. Here's the link for their webstie and their facebook page: http://www.jasminesbridalshop.com/index.php http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=134074349988216

Ok, so I really need to get on it. I'm just afraid that my weight will change within the year. I still want to lose a little weight before the wedding, but I'm not sure if that will actually happen.

Great info! Didn't know there were only 2 restaurants to choose for the semi private dinner. Still trying to decide on semi private dinner at restaurant, private dinner or other options.

Wow, just looked at the Brightlight Video facebook page. Their videos look great and so moving. Defenitely feel better about using them. Thanks!

Good to know, I was debating whether to have my hair done at the salon or not. I'm really picky about my hair, so I may have someone here show me how to do my hair, practice it, then do my own hair the day of. Thanks for the info!

Hello Ladies! Getting married at the Majestic Elegance on June 26, 2012. Already confirmed the date and time, 4 pm (I originally wanted the 27th but only had a 1 pm option). I will probably only have around 10-15 people attending as well, mostly family. I'm trying to decide whether to have the dinner at the restaurant (not private) or have a private dinner outside. What do you ladies think?

Tropical Pictures does have 2 facebook pages! I'm getting married at the Majestic Elegence Resort and Tropical Pictures are the onsite photogrpahers. A lot of pictures to best judge their work. Here are the links: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.106332782753016.4021.101952936524334#!/pages/Weddings-Tropical-Pictures/101952936524334 http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tropical-Pictures-Weddings-Punta-Cana/131254996893591#!/pages/Tropical-Pictures-Weddings-Punta-Cana/131254996893591

Nolacruiser6 Hmm, I always feel a little hesitant about buying from a website without any reviews. I would send the picture to other dress makers like babyonline, and they will give you a quote. At least you can see their actual dresses and can read their reviews. I decided to go with jasmine's bridal, they are a little more expensive (the dress I want is $350), but the quality looks excellent). I did email several other vendors and babyonline was very quick to respond. I emailed topspartner twice, but never got an answer. Hope that helps. Good Luck!

Wow you ladies already have your dresses? Getting married June 26, 2012, but haven't started trying dresses on. When do you girls think I should get my dress?

Everyone's DIY monograms look great! Can't wait to do my own!

June 27, 2012 Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda, Punta Cana, Domincan Republic!!! Had engagement pics taken last week, waiting to get them back so I can send my STD's!! Hope they turn out good, I'm making my own STD (which I hope will also look good )

Hmmm, anyone know what the turn around time for topspartner is???? Found a website with some of the dresses they've made. The quality looks really nice. Already emailed them for a quote, but would like to know if they send pics as the dress is being made. Here's the link: http://www.topspartner.com/wp/category/our-brides/ If anyone could answer my questions I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

Hey Prettypigpig, How is the turnaround time for topspartner. I'm also looking for someone to make a lace dress.

Checked out some of the sites on facebook and found Jasmine's Bridal shop to have a page with dresses they've actually made. They look great. Ahhh, so tough to decide where to order from. Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=134074349988216

Does anyone know who does the best lace work? I am trying to decide between Jasmine's Bridal and Landy Bridal. Here's a picture of my inspiration dress:

Yes, I would love to see any wedding photos as well! Does anyone know if I stay at Esmeralda, is that where I get married, or is the location at another resort? I also have some info that the people at Gran Bahia sent me, which I just have to find and I'll post some more info on here as well.

Hello! I am trying to get some opinions on the Gran Bahia Principe Esmeralda. We are planning our wedding for June/July 2012, but I would love to see some pictures or reveiws of this location. Anyone with any info, please help! Thanks. Liz

Hey Ladies! I'm also planning on getting married at the Royal in June 2012. I am trying to gather more information about pricing there. How early is everyone booking? I wasn't sure if it was too early. I would really like to find a good deal since my fiance and I are paying for everything ourselves. Anyone find any good deals? Thanks.

Hello, I am tring to find a good deal for the Royal Cancun. We are planning to be married in June of 2012, so I'm getting a head start. Their prices are so expensive, but we really want a destination wedding. I was trying to figure out a less expensive way to stay there and thought about timeshares. I checked out sellmytimesharenow.com and there are listings for $1000 a week including all the amenities. Has anyone done this here before? Does anyone know of any websites that offer a good deal? We are expecting no more than 20 people, including ourselves. Thanks.
