  1. I had Erika as my WC- sometimes it took up to a week to hear back from her earlier in the planning process but in the last 2 months, I'd usually hear back from her within the day. So don't worry, contact improves as you get closer to your date!
  2. Welcome to the forum!!! I don't have any pictures to share with you, but I am having my reception at Zocalo Al Fresco in 2 weeks from tomorrow, so when I get back I will let you know. How many guests are you expecting?
  3. Hooray Rachel!!! Have a woderful relaxing trip and I'm sure your wedding will be amazing! Have a safe flight
  4. Thanks ladies for the words of encouragement & suggestions! Still waiting to actually hear back from House of Brides on the phone...keeping my fingers crossed!
  5. As a side note to all other brides, do NOT order from House of Brides! They do not know what customer service entails and should not be in the wedding industry if they cannot guarantee their product.
  6. Hello fellow BDW brides! I'm a little bit paniced and a whole lot stressed- one of my BM's ordered her dress online back in August, and the company told her the dress would be shipped by mid November. It is now almost late January and still no dress! And we leave in less than 2 weeks, with no promises from the company that we will receive the dress! They're not even a little apologetic or showing any effort to help us out... Hoping one of you fine ladies may have seen this dress recently or something similar or even know someone that has previously worn it... The dress we ordered was Bill Levkoff 165 in Champagne... http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/165 Thanks a ton!!! ~Tamara~
  7. Hi Lori, just wanted to let you know that the Karisma line of resorts have two chapels on their properties. I am getting married in less than 2 and a half weeks at the El Dorado Maroma chapel (we are staying at Azul Sensatori). A little bit of extra paper work was all that was needed to arrange the Catholic ceremony. Good luck with your planning
  8. Welcome Melissa- from another fellow Canadian bride! This forum is amazing and full of wonderful tidbits of helpful wedding planning information. Best of luck with your wedding planning!
  9. Yes, we did order from House of Brides! How did you know? Are they known for this type of thing? I've called both Bill Levkoff in the US and the Canadian supplier as well- unfortunately, the earlies they can get me something is in 4 weeks, which is too late. Thank you very much for the offer to call around Illinois. I am planning on calling House of Brides tomorrow and speaking with the person with the most authority, and being forceful to ensure they do everything in their power to get me that dress! That is so sweet of you murmel! I will let you know if I find anything. Have a good trip to Edmonton! Dress warmly as the temperature dropped again yesterday and we just had a snowstorm!
  10. Thanks murmel! I'm keeping my fingers crossed and praying hard it works out! And on an off chance if any of you ladies run into this dress (Bill Levkoff 165, Champagne, size 14 or 16) let me know! Thanks! http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/165
  11. We are doing manzanita tree branches with hanging crystals. I am getting the branches at the resort, and I've collected/bought all my crystals here in various shapes in sizes. My inspiration:
  12. Or how about your FI hand delivering your invites to everyone at work? It's a bit more formal and wouldn't require you to find all those addresses.
  13. I know weddings are never perfect, but I wasn't expecting the imperfections and major hiccups to start until we arrived in Mexico! Two of my bridesmaids ordered their dresses online- one ordered in May and received hers in August and the other ordered in August with the promise that she should receive it my mid November. It is now mid January and she still has not received it! The company hasn't made any apology and is now not even guaranteeing the dress will arrive before we leave 2 weeks from today! How can you be in the wedding business and not guarantee a product by a certain date? And now it's too late for me to even rush order the dress from anywhere else...needless to say I'm upset and stressed to the max. What to do???
  14. We're dancing to Christina Perri's A Thousand Years...oh man, it makes me tear up every time
  15. Hi ladies! I've heard lots of tidbits about Coco Bongo, and was wondering if anyone has been? Thoughts on going there for the bachelorette party? Playa del Carmen or Cancun- which of the Coco Bongo's is better? Thanks a ton!
  16. Beautiful video!!! That is an amazing keepsake of such a special day Congrats!
  17. Elana to the forum! When looking for a travel agent, search for one that is GI certified- they will be able to give you exclusive perks at the Karisma line of hotels. http://www.karismahotels.com/GourmetInclusive At the bottom of this webpage, there is a search function for a GI consultant. Unfortunately yes, it's $800 per each vendor. Because it also made me sick to think of spending $1600 on nothing, I decided to pay $800 for an outside photographer and then book the resort approved Guitar Trio as well use use our own music for the rest of the time of the reception. Have fun planning!
  18. Hooray!!! I am so glad that you're feeling ready- 1 whole week to relax, get pampered with spa treatments and relish the last bit of time as an engaged woman
