  1. Hi Nicole, I got the 7" boquets for my bridesmaids, there were $55 each so $275 total. I would suggest emailing them and see if they could finish them in time. I think they say that just to be safe, you are right around the 6 month mark so I think you would have more then enough time. To walk down the isle I am doing a piano instramental of "Bless this broken road" by rascall flatts.
  2. BP Brides, Is anyone doing the fireworks for their first kiss (like in the old Diamond Package) It would cost $560 to add to my complimentary package. I really wanted it but not sure if i can justify $560 for like 10 seconds!
  3. I am using realtouch flowers for my bouquet and my 5 bridesmaids. Check out http://www.bloombridal.com/ They do an amazing job! A little more expensive then your silk flowers but still much cheaper then what the resort charges. I persoanlly like the idea that i get to keep my bouquet forever! How special! I think ordering a sample is a good idea! So you know what you are getting! As for the ceremony music, i am just going to bring songs on my ipod (actually they make you out them on a cd for the ceremony) Bringing your own music is a good idea, but you would probably want to make sure the saxophone player is familar with the songs. It could be diaster if he/she is attempting a new song for your wedding. Just something to think about! Let us know what you decide
  4. Jenni! I think we are going to do a welcome cocktail for the night we arrive at the resort. But my wedding planner said it had to be on the infinity terrace - I am waiting on a response for where the infinity terrace is- does any body know? Is that the same as the south or north terrace? I just dont want it to be in the same spot as my reception- i think it woud take away from the wedding reception.
  5. Thanks JK! We are debating between French and Italian, did you have "cocktails" hors d'oeuvres?
  6. Hi Stacie, Yes for two people, the it would be the double occupancy rate per person in the room. You pay more for more people in the room bc that rate includes the all inclusive. So you would be paying the extra for the extra food and drinks of the other people in your room. The bed in the room shouldn't change the rate
  7. Thanks Peach! Maybe ill take another look!
  8. Hi Calgary Brides, Does anyone know where I can buy raffia? looking for yellow raffia, tried Micheals and i couldnt find it. Let me know! Thanks!
  9. Jenni! Im the same i know i read somethig about the italian and french but cant remember what! From what i hear the food is really good at Beach Palace so I am sure we will be fine no matter what we choose.. Shan thanks for the feedback and thanks for letting us know you can switch some of the dishes! Good to know!
  10. BP BRIDES! For those of your going with the buffett, what are you choosing and why? We are so torn! Thanks!
  11. Oh thanks! Since it is my Trash the Dress Dress i really didnt want to spend alot! i am so happy it worked out!

I just recieved her photos on the almost finished dress (Missing flower) Here they are: As you can see it is defineately a MERMAID Style!! Although i dont mind the dress at all- I am worried it will be too constricting for the underwater photo shoot?! So do i ask her to fix it risking it what might happen to the quality or do i leave it as is? So torn... And for those of you who are wondering the dress cost $220 USD Suggestions on what to do as well as anyother changes alterations I may be missing would be greatly apprecated! Thanks all! Here is an update to my last post!. I did ask the seamstress to take out the dress a little bit so it wasnt so "mermaid" and she has shipped me the dress, here it is: Sorry for the photo quality they were taken on my blackberry! The dress is wrinkled from the shipping but you get the idea. The dress fits like a glove ( a little big in the chest) but I will get it taken in. $220 plus $30shipping and $20 duty = $270 The dress is made wonderfully, it has boning and bra cups sewn in! Very impresssed and happy and would absoluetly recomment Wonderxue for anyone looking to have a dress made!

  14. Hey ladies, I totally agree, we do expect gifts at all! We made it very clear.. No gifts! But I have a friend who just got back from a Mexico wedding where she brought a card just to congratulate and had no where to put it so didn't even end up giving to the couple. So that got me thinking. You guys made some good points though a visible box could make some feel awkward... I think I'll bring a small one and just have it off to the side or hidden .
  15. HI Ladies, I have had both single lash eyelash extensions and semi or cluster lash extensions. I get them everytime I go on vacation and I love them! In fact I just got some on today as I am off to Playa Del Carmen on Sunday! They can get itchy after a while, but the benefits out weigh the negitives for me! No mascara needed! My eyes always look great even with no make up. The strips never seem to stay for me and you def cannot wear them in the water! I suggest trying them a few months before you leave and you can decide for yourself! But i will defintely be getting extenstions for my wedding!
  16. Haven't thought too much about it yet thinking simple vase with flowers and floating candles. Boring i know.. I would be open to your ideas?!
  17. I did email with Clarissa to get my contract signed. And i did hear from Margartia briefly but i am waiting patiently until my 3 months out date. Yes i am doing Complimentry so maybe you are right. I just emailed Clarissa for the flower cake and food menus so hopefully she will get back to me. THanks for the info!
