  2. So I had cute heels for photos, then cute/dressier styled flip flops for the rest of the day and comfort LOL. But since my ceremony was on the beach, I ended up going barefoot and it was totally fine. Hot sand will really depend on the time and location of your ceremony! Lots of ceremony sites on the sand will also have a runner -- ask your resort planner about whether going barefoot would be a problem, they would be able to give you best insight!

  11. Hi there and welcome to BDW!! I would suggest checking out the threads for Florida destination brides as you might find some good recs on there Here's the link to that section on this site: https://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/35-florida-weddings/ Best wishes to you!!
  12. If you're planning to get a new passport, you may want to get that process started ASAP as passport fees will be increasing at the beginning of April 2018. Effective April 2, 2018, the passport execution fee will increase from $25 to $35. The $10 increase only applies to U.S. passport applicants using the DS-11 form, such as first-time applicants over 16, children under 16, and applicants who re-apply after reporting their previous passport lost or stolen. The $10 fee increase does not apply to adults eligible to renew their passport by mail using the DS-82 form. Customers applying with the DS-11 form pay two separate fees: an application fee to the U.S. Department of State and the execution fee to the passport acceptance facility. Passport acceptance facilities -- which include post offices, clerks of court, or public libraries -- are designated to accept passport applications on behalf of the U.S. Department of State. . For more information on obtaining a new passport or renewing a passport, visit https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html/

  15. Dreams Playa Mujeres is HUGE so it never feels too crowded anywhere. When we were there the resort was almost at full capacity and it never felt like it. There is a kids waterpark/waterzone area and a slide -- which is separate from the other pool areas. And the kids love it, so you will mostly find them there!! The adult areas stay pretty clear of kids, I wouldn't worry about any crossover and go ahead and enjoy. You've picked a gorgeous resort for your wedding!!! You will love it
  16. I got married in late June and have been to the area several times in July -- typically it's a very hot month, but when it comes to the tropics rain is unpredictable and can come and go at any time. The good thing is, when it does rain, it's usually not for the whole day. When I was in the area for two weeks from June to early July, there were 2 days of rainy periods. It even rained on my wedding day earlier in the day, but cleared up in time for my sunset wedding I would say go for it!!
  17. I would highly suggest contacting The Styling Trio! They have a team of artists trained from all over the world and they work with brides from all ethnicities. I have seen nothing but beautiful work from their team and they have an excellent reputation in the area. They've also written articles for the BDW site and they are always so helpful and wager to share their insight/tips when it comes to their craft! Here's their website: www.stylingtrio.com
  18. The newly updated U.S. State Department Travel Advisory system has classified Mexico’s major international tourist destinations as safe for travel. The U.S. State Department recently introduced a new system for alerting Americans about possible security risks while traveling abroad, classifying every country based on four different risk levels, as outlined below: Level 1: Exercise normal precautions Level 2: Exercise increased caution Level 3: Reconsider travel Level 4: Do not travel While travelers are always advised to exercise caution while traveling, the following major international tourist destinations in Mexico, which are often frequented by destination wedding couples and honeymooners, were explicitly listed as having no travel restrictions: Baja California Sur: Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo Quintana Roo: Cancún, Cozumel, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Riviera Maya, Isla Mujeres Jalisco: Puerto Vallarta More than 35 million travelers come to Mexico each year. For more information about the U.S. State Department Travel Advisories, visit their website for ongoing up-to-date information.
