    Its so hard - you want everyone to come but I feel bad making people commit to such an expense

    Yes we are going to be similar numbers. When we first booked in November lots of people said they would come and we had around 30, as the year has progressed due to finances people have dropped out so now I wont count final numbers until everyone who says they are coming has booked! I think we will be about 17-18. Mainly both our families and a few friends. To be honest we knew there was a risk of having no one come when we decided to get married abroad so we are grateful to have just one guest :-) I do know what you mean about wanting to start buying things, I am gagging to!!!!

    Wow you girls put me to shame, I live so close to all these places and I've barely seen any of them, I tend to go further afield. I've been to a few of the Greek islands, France, Spain, Portugal, the canary islands, Germany, Sweden and of course Ireland. Never even been to Scotland!! I am going to turkey in July for a friends wedding so I will be able to cross that off my list too. Also looking forward to getting a tan before Mexico. How many guests have you girls got coming?

    Lol i know the feeling, wedding can be so political can't they! Ah yes London is great for so many things, its a great city. I don't actually live in London, just outside but I go in all the time for work and pleasure. I have never had the pleasure of visiting Canada although it is somewhere I have always wanted to go. I love Europe too - where else have you been?

    Wow Jen, that is so exciting. I'm loving your idea to hit the wineries - that is what I can an amazing honeymoon. Lucky you! That is the only downside to a DW is we dont get a 'proper' honeymoon but I think the benefits far outway the negatives - don't you?

    Don't worry Joanne, I ordered mine in February and it will be in August so you should be fine. Its important you choose the right dress, but good luck i hope you find a lovely one - do let us know if you find one!

    Wow that will be weird for you - exciting though. Yes we had the same dilemma about switching resorts but like you say it will be nice to be somewhere different and have that adults only holiday. I have heard good things about Ivan Luckie too - what is your wedding date? I have been toying with the idea about getting a knock off dress but want all the photos to be consistent and have me wearing the dress - its so hard though. Pains me to think of what it will do to my gorgeous dress!

    Oh no I feel bad now JBean he would have been booked for our wedding which is why he wasn't free :-( - really sorry! Wish I could share him with you! Yes we are doing a two hour TTD session the next day - they sound so great I just had to do one -scared about the damage it will do to my dress though!!! Have my AHR in December! Wow Jen I am so jealous I would LOVE to go Australia and going in December is such a good idea, means you have something to look forward to. Whereabouts are you going? Joanne - your bouquet is beautiful - great choice!

    I know my fi didn't want to move either but I badgered him till he gave in ;-). Wow joanne that is a long break lucky you! Jbean I have heard good things about Juan navarro, his work is good considered him ourselves. We have booked Sascha Gluck, persuaded fi to stretch on the budget, like you photos are SO important to me. Are you doing a trash the dress?

    We are staying at the Dreams Tulum, in the Mayan Riviera too for a week and are also getting married there and then moving to Secrets Silversands, Cancun for the second week. My MIL and a few friends are going to DT for two weeks so we thought we have a bit of time on our own and go somewhere luxurious :-) I have heard good things about the Valentin! Have you booked a photographer?

    Hi I'm also having my reception on the beach that's really useful to know about the lanterns. Also I am really worried about lighting for on the beach, what did everyone do? I don't want it to be too dark they need to be able to see their food! But equally I don't want to spend a fortune on lighting if I don't need to. What did you all do?
  16. carrieb258
    Jen, great choice I love Calla lillies too. I am thinking of having fuschia roses and Orange gerberas and giving the bridesmaids pink roses. Although I do think its really lovely when brides and bridesmaids have different flowers. And anyway its your day you can have whatever you like as long as you are happy with it :-) So jenk and jbean - where are abouts are you staying?
  17. carrieb258
    Oh thank you so much JenK I am so pleased with it, I love yours too JBean, perfect for a beach wedding! And yes yours are very similar How weird we all have the same colour scheme too - mine is orange and fuschia as well! I love those two colours together they look so striking... my H2B was not as convinced at first, had to persuade him :-) Have you girls decided on flowers yet? xxx
