murmel, did you have a DJ at your wedding?

Nicely done! I like what you did with the water bottles

Congrats & welcome to the new brides!!! larazach, I think I've read somewhere earlier in this thread that some brides have brought their own bottles of wine. I think there's also been mention that the house wine (which is included) served at the resort is quite good, and that there was no need to bring your own. evac, how about taking your guests to the Mojito Lounge (open til 2 am) or the Rooftop Lounge or Cantina Zocalo (both open til 1 am)?

Updated the list- seemed like several different copies were being posted. Yes, I'm obsessed with details April 2012 Kerry872 - April 11, 2012 amylou1983 - April 20, 2012 sophie23 - April 21, 2012 May 2012 Jennabug May 5, 2012 Mnd3A - May 19, 2012 June 2012 2ndtimesacharm - June 26, 2012 July 2012 August 2012 September 2012 Jennaba3 - September 6, 2012 October 2012 larazach - October 3, 2012 jsal4 - October 12, 2012 November 2012 December 2012 janaahb - December 12, 2012 January 2013 evac- January 3, 2013 February 2013 tkuzma - February 7, 2013 Christined - February 12, 2013 March 2013 April 2013 slarso13-April 20, 2013 May 2013 kathryn83 - May 5, 2013

Pretty!!! Pink is my favourite colour

Wow!!! What a remarkable amount of love went into all of your projects! Congratulations on your wedding Please keep all of us posted about your shop opening!

soonCB, nice to see you over on this thread!

janette34, I think it'll look pretty either way!

Poor puppy!!! Hope he recovers quickly, and that you do too

This is my inspiration pic, which I've forwarded on to my WC. I've always wanted a cascading all-white bouquet!

Wow!!! Clearly a lot of love and maybe even a few tears went into making these. They look like a professional did them! Congrats!!!

Argh, why do people like to leave things to the very last minute? I have an exam to write today, but after that I want to kick up wedding planning up a notch. By the by, I'll be in Manitoba this weekend, so I'll wave to you when I'm in Winnipeg

soonCB, I know you've found the Canadian Newbies forum, but did you also know that there's a Canadian Brides forum that's quite active? You can find it under Ladies Lounge>Chit Chat Corner!

- also from another Canadian bride! Congrats on your engagement! And a hooray for choosing a DW! Come join the Canadian Newbies forum as well as the Canadian Brides forum under Ladies Lounge>Chit Chat Corner!

Wow, from this preview alone I can tell your wedding must have been absolute incredible! Congratulations!!!

I love your jewellery! And your thank you cards- nice incorporation of your monogram!

to the forum! It's a wealth of useful info and tips & tricks! How old are your kids? They must be so excited to be in your wedding!

CdnBeatPrincess- these are very nice! Bright & tropical, perfect for a DW

to another fellow Canadian bride!!! Congrats on your engagment and on picking a DW! I am getting married at Azul Sensatori, and I know they have a sky deck for private ceremonies. The Azul Sensatori thread is huge, but has a ton of useful information from past and present brides! http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/23412/azul-sensatori-brides-post-here If you have any specifc questions about the AS, feel free to PM me I concur with shan0487- find a great TA! I found one at Flight Centre- I've used them forever, and they have TA's that just do destination weddings. TAs are lifesavers if you've never planned a destination event, which the majority of us haven't! You should also join the Canadian brides thread... http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/74816/canadian-brides Good luck with your planning!

My plan is that after I package everything up in boxes/suitcases and I know how much I have, I am going to distribute to BMs, mom, etc. This will obviously still cost extra, but I think it'll cost me a lot less than if I tried to bring it all down myself. Another reason I have to distribute the "supplies" because my FI is adamant that the point of doing a DW is that you don't have to have all these extras, so he thinks I'm being ridiculous planning all these details. Men are silly- if wedding planning was up to them, we'd be getting married in a pub It'll be my secret, haha.

Yikes, sorry those came out way bigger than I wanted to post!

I could search etsy for hours! It's almost a bad habit of mine Anyways, my first wedding related purchase off of the site is monograms. (My wedding colours are white, gold and champagne) They were made by Mary Ellen of Digital Bunny's Designs - http://www.etsy.com/shop/DigitalBunnysDesigns?ref=seller_info

I've seen some lovely pictures of sunset weddings, but I can definitely understand your stress if this is not what you meant to do. I'd recommend emailing your WC as soon as you can to let them know that you want to change your time. I had some people look at me funny when I told them we were having a Thursday wedding, which I never understood. I mean everyone is going to be there for a week long holiday anyways, so what does it matter on what day you get married? Yes, wedding planning can be so fun and exciting yet so stressful at the same time

Thanks for all the good ideas ladies! Now to keep a better eye on Vistaprint for deals and groupon coupons!

Your wedding is not until May 2013?! My goodness girl, you have been so productive! If you're done early, which I think is more than likely, I'll need to hire you to do my planning!
