We just got our suit last week - and it is great - the fabric (we went with the cotton linen blend) is refined and appropriate weight - won't be too hot in the sun but structured enough to keep the modern shape. Everything with the suit was impecably finished - edges matched up (we went with the light hawaiian grey check), nicely finished and lined etc.

The fit is awesome - we did custom measurements and everything is perfect! The pants maybe a smidge long depending on what shoes/sandals we find but that is easy enough to hem if he goes with a very flat sandal. We did a slim fit jacket and straight leg pants and are very happy. FI is thinking of ordering another suit to have for other occassions too, he likes it more than his suit from Moore's (which was waaaayyyy more money!) We will take photos and post them soon!

We just ordered FI custom measured linen suit and it was about 2 weeks from when we put the order in to when we received it. We requested they contact us if any of our measurements seemed off but there was no issue so it was very speedy. We are super impressed with the suit - cut, fabric and quality are all awesome. We would highly recommend!

We don't have to cut our cocktail hour (37 guests coming, and 8 in wedding party plus family members that will be pulled out for some photos so I'm not too concerned about amount of food) but just FYI have you considered using the cocktail hour at another point during your trip? Maybe for your rehearsal night since you could have a smaller crowd? Just a thought??

This guest book prompts for guests to answer such as “Where you do you see us in 10 years?â€, “How to Be the Perfect Wife†and “How to Be the Perfect Husbandâ€. We are considering it, the orginal idea is by etsy seller agent kat but she is not taking orders till jan. 2013 i see on her shop page...maybe DIY?! Here are a few other guest book ideas to consider: http://emmalinebride.com/handmade-wedding/unique-guest-books/

I posted it earlier in the OOT bag thread but just wanted to let you girls know that Shoppers has their life brand aloe vera gel on for $2 right now. it is a good size bottle too (150ml) but supplies will be limited since it is end of season clearance.

if anyone is looking for after sun/aloe vera gel shoppers has their life brand bottles on for $2 right now (reg. $3.49). it is a good size bottle too (150 ml)!!

Photography has always been important to my fiancé and me. There is a difference between a snapshot taken by chance and one which has been carefully executed. The consideration of light, placement and the feelings conveyed are so important in photography yet it seems often overlooked. For our wedding we want to have photos that reflect the spirit of the day – the love we share with each other, the happiness felt by those present and the fun memories made. As a destination wedding means that not everyone is able to join us in Mexico I think photography that conveys the feelings, emotions and sense of commitment shared on our wedding day is an essential part of sharing our day with friends and family at home. I know that my memories of our wedding day will be cherished but having spectacular photographs to accompany those memories and share with friends and family will only serve to enhance our special day. With Thanks!

Studi Suits has some great custom suits and very reasonable prices - studiosuits.com

My TA refers to the symbolic and vow renewal as one in the same even though the resort offers different packages for either...if you are already legally married (or just don't want to deal with the legalities of mexican wedding) you will have a symbolic ceremony. I have never heard it is the WC who performs the ceremony tho, I think your TA is off. You can have a friend do your symbolic ceremony or the "services of a judge or minister" - directly from Now Jade website. I would contact Pilar for more information if you are still uncertain.

I know Olivia was off for 2 weeks of holidays (or there abouts) so maybe that's why there hasn't been a response to the trip advisor reviews yet. I saw she is posting on FB again so she is back now.

We just ordered fiances suit on the weekend so we don't know how we did for sizing yet but I did notice that they had updated the measurement section of the website (I think we got an email about it a few months back after creating an account) so I was hesitant to take advice of adding inches here and there based on other's experiences from more than the last 6-8 months...I figured the changes to how to measure might have changed (improved) so it wasn't necessary. I'll post once we get his suit in!

Check out Now Jade on Facebook, quite often brides post links to their video on there...otherwise I know that if you go back in this thread some previous brides have posted their videos.

I haven't been following traipadvisor but I have been watching Now Jade on FB and I have only seen 1 negative review in the past several months (and he complained about everything - ants, the wind, the juice, the towels etc) so obviously he isn't an accurate or representative reviewer. Otherwise there are dozens of positive remarks each week - lots of repeat customers and quite a few brides too. Hopefully that can put you at ease a bit!

During the spring webinair Pilar said on the terrace you can have round, rectangular or a long table. The long table can be for 20-40 people. Round table can hold 8-10 (I think about 1 m across) so I would guess the rectangular table would be similar?

If you don't mind my asking, how much is Maya Floral charging you? I'm thinking I should explore external florists, would you recommend them from your experience thus far?

Now Jade doesn't allow them, it was asked during the webinair a few months back

Yup that is the plan - just figuring out which colour(s)!

I know you weren't asking me but this seller has 1000 piece petals for under $5 http://www.ebay.com/itm/330701699382#ht_2262wt_1166

We sent out about 54 invites and have 38 people coming, we figured we would be around the 35 mark so our estimate was pretty close!

Do you definitely want custom bags? I saw browing Creative Bags and they have quiet a few options for great prices but I don't know much about their personalization options. Might be worth a look? http://www.creativebag.com/custom.html

Awesome thanks - there are lots of free DIY projects on this site too!

Ya there is a delay getting bookings on the website, we noticed that after we confirmed our date it was several weeks before it was reflected online. I found the easiest way to get a quick answer on what days/times are available is to call Pilar, we did that and she gave us a run down of dates that were already booked and we went from there.
