Everyone loved them at the wedding

your photog did a great job...i love all t he pics. You were just glowing. Congrats again! I'm late and catching up on days and pages of posts but hoping you have a wonderful trip and a most fabulous wedding day tomorrow. Cant wait to see your pics when you get back! all the best luvmoo, this is just very very unfortunate. im sorry you had to experience that. I am like you and i am trusting and like to think that everyone is a good person but sadly we are reminded the hard way that people can just be cold, selfish, and heartless. I hope that this person can swallow her pride and just send you the money as promised and agreed to so you both can move on from it. So if that person is reading this right now, i have a message for you.... start your year in 2012 on the right foot and make things right with luvmoo. Karma!

welcome back MRS! you look amazing. I cant wait to see more pics. Enjoy the holidays with your fam!

Check out Redi By Chelsea...she is amazing...she designed all my jewelry exactly as i dreamed it up! I highly recommed her just an idea and an option for you to look at

awww yay, glad i could help and i know your day will be amazing. Congrats on your decisions. I watched your wedding from my balcony and saw you on the trolly going to the main lobby LOL We were marreid the week before but we stayed the second week for our honeymoon You looked beautiful and Congrats on being a Mrs

They sell wire cutters at the dollar store....makes it SUPER easy and takes seconds to cut the stems off with the wire cutters

My dress was much larger then that and i rocked it LOL its all about you and how you feel in it. No dress is the wrong dress if you love it

Chelsea is amazing ladies...i cant say enough good things. She designed my whole TTD jewelry collection and hair flower and also my barefoot jewels for me and my girls for the wedding day along with earrings for the wedding day! When i saw her first designs for my wedding earrings and barefoot jewelry i was in love and engaged her for everything else. I promise you will love her!

You look beautiful and elegant. I love your choice for Mexico and the loose chignon will look amazing with a hair flower....I think with the ivory dress you could leave your hair down and it would look lovely. I would wear my hair different for both to leave some elements of surprise for your hubby in Mexico

you are so HOT Chelsea and i was soooo excited to see the sneak peek collection on FB!!! The jewelry you made for your shoot is FAB!!!

No worries...let us know (share pics) what you decide to do

You look fantastic....you def don't need to worry about the scale You are glowing in it

Hi, I'd be interested. I just got married Oct 25th 2011.

How about asking the bridal salon if they can add a belt type feature sewn on to just the front of the dress? The sash would def take away from the back and the beautiful lines and tie up style but if you find the front too plain you can add some sort of bling to the front only without utilizing a sash....just an idea

I agree....i did wear mostly summer dresses in the evening and then bathing suits and cover ups....i wore NOTHING else of what i brought! its def hard to plan what you will wear but if you are unsure about a piece of clothing, leave it at home, you wont wear it

WOW ...breathtakingly beautiful....love the first one on the rocks....you look like a model!

I beleive its later in August but there are websites you can check for that....try a website called wunderground.

Thanks its one of my fav TTD pics....there are a few more on the catamaran that look amazing...i will share once i get through all of them

SO Exciting!!!! Congrats and cant wait to see pics and hear all about it safe travels

Terra is awesome. Great Steakhouse with salad and desert bar...service there is great. The italian place is the same menu gabi at the reserve uses when its not buffet. The food is great. The Italian resto has a really nice set up (well half of it) its set up on a dock style over the water, really nice! And then Fuego was another favorite Difficult to recommend food though because everyone has their own taste, ya know but those were our picks. hubby and i ate at the steak house a lot If you are going to book excursions dont book the dune buggies from Rafael. he is usually at the towel counter in the reserve during the day. 2 people in our group booked from him and when they showed up their Dune Buggies were ATV's and instead of being on the dirt roads and through the caves as advertised they were riding on the HIGHWAY and then the axel broke and back wheel popped off!!! Then the guy leading the tour tried prostituting a girl to my 13 year old nephew..... anyway NIGHTMARE..we were just glad they were okay. 90% of people with us booked excursions but we booked through our tour operators or in the main lobby at the resort they have a few people affiliated with tour operators there that will have excursions and no one else had any issues. That was pretty much the only "issue" LOL and word of precaution i can fill you in about. Other then that, I cant think of anything at the top of my head. Its wonderful and you will love it

I answered you in color Wow thank you that was exactly what I needed!! That helps me get a better picture on how long everything takes and confirms that I definitely need to change my times. you are most welcome and glad i could help How was the wind on the beach as far as hearing and stuff? We had no issues with hearing and the person marrying you will/should have a microphone but you may want to confirm to be sure are you using pastor york? DId you do reception at a restaurant or thru package? I picked the aqua package as a base and customized from there and i selected the resorts carribean menu but i customized that as well. We had our dinner/reception poolside How was your weather? It's calling for rain all next week but I am hoping it comes and goes! it called for rain all week when we were there as well. if and when it rained it was for 10 to 15 minutes and then it would pass. the only day we had rain all day was one Friday out of the whole two weeks we were there and it was due to a tropical storm I am sure I have hundreds more. I thought I was done worrying but then I saw all your pics and it made me think of more!! Ask as many questions as you need. Everything will be fine, try not to stress. i know easier said then done but you need to enjoy your time there. even if little things go wrong, make the best of it. If you go in with the right attitude your experience will be amazing no matter what XOX

Hi Mandy Thanks, I am still going through all of my pics...there are so many! I am loving it My pleasure to help, ask any questions you need....I will outline my day...it was perfect and stress free. I started my hair at 11:30 with my mom (my mom got her make up done as well)....we were done by 12:50 and back at our room by 1:00. Keep in mind that i have A LOT of hair LOL so depending on your hairstyle and how much hair you have you might not need as much time. I got my make up done back at our room while the girls got dressed and did their hair. My photog was along for the ride for my hair and while i was getting my make up done....he left for a little while to go get pics of the guys getting ready. It probably took half hour to 40 minutes to get my make up done so it was 1:45ish by the time we were finished make up We ordered room service for a light lunch. Had my make up slightly touched up after eating so i recommend doing your eating first LOL At 2:45 photog came back and videographer came. So I started to gather my jewelry and garter and everything i needed. While i started to gather stuff my photog and videographer were taking pics of the details like flowers and dress and such in the background. They needed half hour to set up, take the detail pics of this stuff. I started to get my dress on at 3:15 and we were out the door at 3:50 for our 4:00 ceremony (my dress requires a lot of work to get on so i reserved half hour for this). I was a few minutes late (6 to be precise LOL) if you are in the reserve at PPC you need 5 to 10 minutes to get to the beach ceremony site since they are on opposite sides of the resort. Our ceremony ended at 4:40(ish) and we ended the ceremony with a shell ceremony where everyone threw a seashell in the ocean to cast a wish for us so it was a perfect opportunity to take the group pics (the resort handed out champagne) we took all of our group pics and pics with who we wanted and then the bridal party came with us to take our pics while our friends and fam enjoyed the cocktail hour. Time flew by and before i knew it, it was 6:45 and time to go to our 7:00 reception. Depending on you (we wanted a lot of pics) you need at least an hour for pictures with your wedding party and on your own. you need half hour for your group photos. You have a smaller group so maybe shave 10 minutes off of each of those. The cocktail hour was from 5 to 6 (but the resort already had it all set up right after the ceremony) and then everyone could go freshen up before the reception The sun was going away by 5:30-5:45 and was completely gone by 6:00ish If you want daylight, the sooner the better so if you could set up for 4:00, i think that would be ideal. if thats the case you will want to move your hair appointment up a bit so you dont have to rush anything....more so in case there are any unforseen delays hope that helps!

Love this thread...TTD is my fav! Chelsea i'm dying to see your pics!!! I wore my same dress...it was an ANCHOR i would move and my dress wouldnt LOL quite the work out. It was so heavy but i loved the way it looked in the pics Chelsea actually designed and made all my jewelry and my hair flower this last pic is an example of needing help when trying to move LOL

I actually used bidz....its an auction site. they dont always have them but i kept a close eye on the site

I got each of my girls a pandora bracelet. I bought them online and got an amazing deal. I also got them something personal to each of them. for example one of my BMs LOVES puma purses and her fav color is purple so i killed myself looking but finally found a purple puma purse! she was in heaven!!! i think the personal touch is always appreciated because its really thanking them individually IMO and the gifts were a huge hit with my wedding party Very pretty...going to order one for my friends birthday coming up. she would love this!
