Ive gone for Ivory because I found white cheapened the dress alot.. It looked like a different dress! If anyone has a picture of an ivory dress with a white shirt I would love to see it.. I didnt even think of them not matching!! xxxx

They are beautiful.. Sorry if i sound silly but they are artificial?? xxx

Definitely first one!! xxx

Thank you.. I feel much better about having one now.. When my parents said it would be nice to do one for family that couldnt come I thought it might be a bit OTT.. But now I hear other brides are having formal AHRs, I feel better We have booked out AHR for 4 weeks and 2 days after we return.. Gives me just enough time to get back in my dress after 10 days all inclusive! lol.. I think we will have it arranged for us to be announced in.. Looks better than just turning up lol.. Im also going to have pictures from our DW showing on a slideshow.. When is your DW? Mine is 6th Sept 2012 xxx

Sam I been meaning to ask you.. Wheres the Mac shop in Cardiff?? Im definitely going to do that.. Me & my bridesmaids are doing our own make up so might splash out on some new stuff for it.. Do they go over how to do your eyes etc?? Im hopeless! lol xxxx

Hi everyone.. I know there are alot of threads about formal AHRs but they seem to be from a year or two ago. I wanted to get a fresh idea on what everyone thought of formal AHRs?? Im from the UK and we are travelling to Mexico for our DW (which is an 11 hour flight from here) 37 have booked and im over the moon with that as its such a long journey (and costly!!) So because the bulk of the people coming are mostly friends, we want to hold a formal AHR for family and other close friends that couldnt come.. We were thinking a sit down meal in the day with family that couldnt come and everyone who could come.. Approx 80 people and then a night party for everyone else with a buffet.. We will also be having welcome drinks and wine on the tables.. Also I wont be having a cake in Mexico as I feel it will get wasted as we will be having dessert in our reception.. So I would prefer to spend the money on one for our home party.. How does everyone feel about formal AHRs? Im wondering how to get introduced as we will already be married and dont just wanna show up in my dress and walk in casually?? (we will all be in wedding attire).. Also are you having a first dance at home? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated xxx

Congratulations!! This site is great !! xxx

Congratulations and Welcome!! Im getting married in the Azul Sensatori in September 2012.. Ive never been before but a friends brother got married there last year and I think they accommodate large groups well.. You have you wedding reception included in your wedding package for upto 40 people I believe.. Obviously there are upgrades available for everything at an extra cost but ive heard the package that you get included are great! They have a great kids club there also if you have children travelling with you. I hope this helps.. Any other information you need let me know, I think ive just about got everything saved on my PC lol.. Happy Planning xxx

I know what you mean.. I keep telling myself not to go overboard with buying stuff cause its gonna be a nightmare just carrying the extras like dress, suits etc as it is.. Are you having your bridesmaids carry their own dresses? I was going to take real touch flowers with me but cannot be bothered with the hassle of ordering them and carrying them so I am getting flowers from lomas also xxx

Hi there Im getting married at the Azul Sensatori September 6th 2012.. I cant wait! How is your planning going? xxxx Quote: Originally Posted by MrsKG2B Hi all you UK brides 2b, Im jetting off to Mexico in May 2012 for my wedding at AZUL SENSATORI on 21st May 2012. Can not wait Rx

great thread!! Ive become waaay to obsessed with the OOT bags, definitely gonna stick to basics with it so money doesnt get wasted! xxx

Sorry im new to all this.. What are first looks photos?

Great pictures..! I love your cake topper.. Wish we could get them here in the UK xxxx

Awww I love these!! If I carry on buying things for this DW it might be cheaper to charter a private plane than pay excess luggage! xxxx

Wow some really pretty things on here.. thanks for sharing! xxxx

Im having a pretty formal AHR as its important for us to include our grandparents etc who couldnt make the DW. Having a sit down meal in the day for everyone that came to the DW and family who couldnt make it. Then will have an evening reception for everyone else along with a buffet. I will de displaying the photos from Mexico and a screen. We will all be in full wedding attire also xxxxxx

I love these! great idea! xxx

We're having our 4 weeks after we return.. I wanted it sooner but thats the closest date on a Saturday we could have xxx

My parents are paying for my dress and most of the wedding in Mexico.. My FMIL and my parents are then spliting the AHR xxx

Can I be added to the list please? September 6th 2012 xxxx
