  1. Yes, totally. That is how I ended up buying three dresses! Luckily I was able to cancel the first one without losing any money. Second one I had to pay for but I sold it (at a huge loss). Third one I am keeping and at some point you just have to stop looking or you'll make yourself crazy! There are so many beautiful dresses. But when it's your wedding day and you're all done up you'll remember why you fell in love with the dress you're wearing and forget about all the others.
  2. Sorry to hear that. We're using modwedding.com but we didn't upgrade the membership. I think they are still in beta so there were a few bugs here and there but overall it's been good for us. Hope you have better luck with wedding wire!
  3. So pretty!! I can't wait to set ours off. Also, 155 guests?! That is awesome that so many loved ones were able to make it. hope you had a beautiful wedding!
  4. You're welcome!! When I was planning there wasn't a ton of info on Secrets so I like chances to help other brides! The WC also told me that you CAN have your reception on the beach right near where the ceremony is, it just gets cramped. But there's a grassy area nearby where they can set things up. We just decided we might as well go with the area that has more space and move over to the casita for that part. Hope this helps and happy planning!!
  5. Hello! We are doing a structure that will look like this: I hear that the beach area is a bit more secluded, so I'm happy about that. Now that I'm closer to the wedding and have started making final choices with the WC, she informed me that the beach area is fine for ceremonies but they recommend having the reception near the casita where there's more space to spread out and add tables. So that's what we are doing. The tables and chairs will all still be on the sand.
  6. Now that I look at it again I think those are the exact signs. Hope that helps you!!
  7. Not sure where those exact signs are from, but Michael's has similar signs and they actually say "Thank You" on the other side so you and your FI can take a pic to use for thank you cards or whatever you like! http://www.michaels.com/bride-groom-signs/wd0777,default,pd.html?cgid=products-wedding-decorations&start=1
  8. Hi there! There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding which will be more affordable. Where do you and most of your guests live? What time of year are you thinking? All inclusive or not? I do think $10,000 for 25-30 is doable, especially in Mexico, but if you lock in the other details you'll have a better idea of overall budget! Happy planning either way.
  9. Oh my goodness this is terrible. I'm so sorry to hear about that! What a nightmare. It sounds like you were able to salvage the day and have a beautiful wedding but no bride should have to deal with that! And then no apology on top of it. Thanks for the warning for future brides!!
  10. Hello and welcome! Congrats on choosing the resort!! I'm not a Now Jade bride, but wanted to send you to the official thread in case your question has been answered there, or so you can post it there for other Now Jade brides to see and help. It's over here: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/78683/official-now-jade-wedding-thread Good luck-- hopefully someone has some ideas for you!
  11. With all the stress and work of planning a wedding, it’s easy to let other things in your life fall by the way side. But we hope one of those things isn’t alone time with your significant other! We would love to know: what’s your ultimate dream date to have with your honey? Choose from the poll options above, or let us know if there’s something we missed!
  12. I asked the WC for something like this. A small cake on top with cupcakes on bottom. We only have 38 guests so there won't be as many tiers/cupcakes as pictured here, but you get the idea. The cake is going to be just plain white and I'll make a cake topper, and I stumbled across these exact cupcake wrappers on Amazon in my colors so I'll have them add those too.
  13. Love this! I'm sure it'll look beautiful when you pull it all together!
