glad I could help

Hi Less is more Any beauty supply store should carry them (especially beauty supply stores that specialize in ethnic hair). If you do not have any luck, PM me and I will find out for you. Kera Care is a great line but I HIGHLY recommend you and your daughter use Kerastase "Aqua Seal" before you take a dip in the pool and "Lait Richesses" after your day in the sun to protect your hair. Use your normal shampoo with these two products.

The weddings I have done latley have had sooo many cool BM dresses. All dresses ranging from super inexpensive to OMG! Ugly bridesmaid dresses are such a thing of the past. The modern bride wants her bridal party to look good and to be able to wear the dress again. Fashion does not have to be expensive. Do not dismiss Forever 21 and H&M (and other discount stores) there are sooo many cool choices. Victoria Secret has a convertable dress I believe comes in array of colors (look for orange)! Be creative, it doesnt have to cost your BM a fortune and your pictures will look great! Jewelry that pops,cool hair, awesome make-up and BAMMMM! You are good to go! Have fun:)

Tanning beds are great if you want a good base before tanning. If you plan to lay out, you should always have a good base. Tan lotions with carrot help give you a very nice color. I personally dont like anything that speeds the tanning bed process because you get an unnatural tan(almost weird looking). I love spray tans (if done correctly) because they give you a glow you cannot get from a tanning bed. If you get a "Mystic Tan" you should scrub 1 day before you do so. Also, apply lotion to your elbows, knees, feet and hands so they do not get dark. Make sure you are lifting your arms and moving in a circular motion so you dont get any streaks. When the session is over, wipe the excess "tan" off from your feet upwards with a towel. Wear loose clothing and do not wear any jewelery. Do not shower until the next day because the "tan" keeps working. If you are getting sprayed, the same apply...scrub and apply lotion to elbows, feet & knees. Your professional can mix colors to accent your abs, shoulders ect...A quick spray on your face is also nice because you get an all over glow. Make sure you do the same motions (circular motion) to ensure consistency and no streaks. Wear loose clothing and no jewelery. Either choices are great because a tan always makes you look healthy and thinner. Everything in moderation

I have mixed feelings about eyelash extensions. I like them because they do last if you do not apply much mascara. So, they are great when you are on holiday and dont want to look washed out. If you wear mascara you should remove it daily. Otherwise, this can lead to an eye infection and ugly build-up. When you remove the mascara with your oil free make-up remover it is inevitable that you will remove some of the glue. When particles of the glue are dissolved this leads to the lashes doing a "lifting" affect. They are no longer completly intact. So, you are faced with either re-applying some glue(which is difficult because you are doing a "spot" job) or removing the lash. When you remove a lash/lashes that are not completley loose, you then loose your own lashes with them. If you are considering lashes for your big day strips are also a good choice. There are several ways to apply them depending on the effect you are going for...cat eyes, baby doll look, glam ect...If applied correctly, they will withstand the heat and humidity. You can re-use strip lashes but should dispose of them every 6 months just as you would mascara because they hold bacteria as well.

Victoria Secret has a great Convertable Bra and it also comes with clear straps. The band in the back is pretty wide so it will give you support. Fredericks of Hollywood has a large assortment in their catalog. You can go to a store and ask to preview it. I dont know if they have the same options online. Also, check out the bras that are strapless and backless(the name escapes me now). It has a special adhesive (kind of like masking tape). Be sure not to have any lotions or creams on so the adhesive sticks properly.

JenK,I had the great opportunity to work with Jerome in Cabo. With Jerome you not only get professionalism you get his trained eye (straight from Paris)for superb photos.

Zelda062, That is terrible. Does your potential MOH know that she will be a "fill in?" Does she have to know?? Do you really need someone to fill in? Its your wedding, you call the shots. Im sure it is a terrible feeling but think of it this way...this is the end of counting on people who you cant count on and start your new life with the man you love. Dont look back.

Rivierabride430, I had a bride who shipped her oot bags to the hotel prior to her arrival. Everything was in tact. Give your WC a heads up (how many bottles ect.) and ask her to give you a call or email when it arrives. Ask her to open the box and take a look at everything. Then again, if it is just a case you can ask 6 people to put 2 bottles in their suitcases. Whatever happens, have fun!!

I was on a site inspection last week and a representative of Euforia was there as well. I always admired Euforia's work but when I saw all the pics of past events they have done,OMG...I was super impressed. Very modern and classy.

Try www.asianideas.com...I never ordered from them but they have a ton of styles and very reasonable prices. Cheers!

Im glad I could help Kera Care cream hairdress is a great product to use (use a VERRRY light hand w/ this one) before you curl your hair. It seals your hair and gives your curls a great shine. Beautiful in photos!

Hi KristaMarie! While there is a level of comfort doing your own make-up you sometimes end up with the same look. You can buy different shades of shadow and products to withstand the heat but your application will be the same. This is your opportunity to look like you only better! When you use a professional, you get a more precise application and your professional can shade, highlight and prime your face as a painter would a blank canvas. In my experience I have found that my brides are comforted that they can relax and let the artist do their magic while she sits and relaxes and she also looks great in her photos. Your professional should be open to your ideas and concerns but always giving you facts about what is best for you. Most importantly, enjoy this time, it goes by sooo fast

June is a pretty hot month here. I personally am a believer in "beauty knows no pain" but many others prefer to be comfortable. What you might want to do is wear it down for the ceremony and then a super cute up-do for your reception.

Hello whoisthemain! I just sent you an email. Secrets Maroma is beautiful! I will be there on Thursday if you need specific pics of the hotel let me know

Another point to consider is what flowers are available during the month of your wedding. Perhaps you could ask your florist or WC for a list.

As a matter of fact I just did a trial yesterday and the b2b told me that she has hired Fer Juaristi. She is extremley happy with her choice and I cant wait to work w/ him! He is a vendor here on BDW. www.ferjuaristi.com, good luck!!

The perfect thing about your wedding day is IT'S YOUR DAY!! I think it is beautiful and you look sooo happy in it. I have done several weddings here in Cancun and the styles of dresses range from formal to super simple. I say work it!!

Mango Productions in Cabo San Lucas. To be honest I do not know their pricing but I know they are very, very good and have a team of photographers. It wouldnt hurt to try www.mangoproductions.net Good luck!!
