    Picked up my travel info at the TA work for my site visit on the 25th and she said we should be able to start seeing deals and booking for July 2014 by October!!!! Ahh I already have guests asking me when can they start booking. Definitely can't wait to go dress shopping but I want to shed a few pounds before I go! LOL in the meantime I will continue my shopping spree of wedding decor. Already purchased maracas, starfish for place cards, and passport covers for my bridesmaids and myself.

    I want my wedding shoes to pop with color and absolutely looooove these Christian Louboutins. Are closed toe pumps appropriate for a beach side wedding??? I'm getting married in a gazebo so I won't be near sand.

    Has anyone gone dress shopping yet? I am dying to go because I already have a few in mind I want to try on but I still think it's a little to early for the dress.

    I'm looking to use white starfish for place cards as well but cannot figure out what size to buy. Which size did you order? 3-4" or 4-5"? Thanks!

    Here it is! I got it from MagnetStreet. Very affordable and a lot of choices to pick from.

    Wedding planning is finally coming along. I have started purchasing a few things already and I'm soo excited because I'm in the process of booking my photographer... just need to review the contract and sign it. I did receive my STD (I will post it again, don't know what happened) and of course after I received it I realized I didn't even put the name of the resort! DUUHH!!! I also changed a color from my theme so I will have to edit that as well. I feel like time is flying!!

    Wow you are way ahead of your planning!! Way to go!! How did you get your guests to book already? Did they just book the room? I haven't been able to book anything yet and still have my date on hold because the TA I'm working with do the whole flight/hotel package and the flights for July 2014 aren't out yet.

    It's totally frustrating!! I'm booking Ivan Luckie and he works with a videographer so they will be coming together. Luckily I will only be paying one fee if I can't book 2 rooms cheaper than $500. I decided to do the TTD the next morning at the beach since my fiancé doesn't swim, going to the cenote is out of the question LOL. FireyNurse, I have been reading backwards thru this thread and THANK YOU SOO MUCH for all your advice! A lot of questions I have have already been answered thanks to you!

    Hello Brides, Has anyone booked Ivan Luckie for photography and also booked the videographer (Alex Gallardo/G&A Wedding Cinema)? I am debating on whether I should book the videographer since I can't seem to find any reviews. If you booked Ivan Luckie and/or the videographer, how was your experience? Thanks!!
  15. LoriGran
    Congratulations on your wedding!! I noticed you used Ivan Luckie for your pictures. I wanted to ask you if you also used the videographer he offers in his package? I'm debating if I should use him since I have not found any reviews on him. Thanks!

    TTD SESSION QUESTION: I'm in the process of booking my photographer and can't decide when I should book the TTD session. My plan was to book a room for 2 days in order to avoid the vendor fee and do the TTD the next day HOWEVER I'm not sure if my fiancé and I will be up for a photo shoot the day after partying all night for the wedding. So I figure well maybe I can book it for a day later BUT how will that work as far as the resort's outside vendor fee. Will I only have to pay for a day pass for him to return or will I be stuck paying the $500?

    I know this thread is a little old but hopefully someone can help with my silly question. How many luggage tags did you provide your guests? One per family? One for each family member?
  18. LoriGran
    OOH Great!!!!!!!! To be honest, I'm not sure exactly how much my guests will be paying since the flights for next year aren't out yet. However, I'm guessing (and crossing fingers) the rates will be similiar to this years. I'm going for a site visit next month ( I will be sharing pictures) and my fiancé and I paid $1050 for 4 days (flight, hotel, and shuttle) I am also staying at the Maya Palace which i believe is the top one out of the 5.

    Did you decide on a resort?? That sounds like the Barcelo you are talking about. If it is you will be ok. You can actually put your wedding date on hold for 2 months until you book. My wedding date has been "on hold" since March and was worried about the same thing and just received an email that it is still on hold.

    So torn about the OOT bags. I loooove the idea of handing them out as a welcome gift but then the fiancé shot down the idea. He says it will be too much to give to each guest and I should only give bags to the bridal party. Then looking thru the OOT bag threads they do seem to get a bit pricey. Anyone handing out to bridal party only?
  21. LoriGran
    I haven't booked the photographer yet. I'm going on a site visit next month and I want to confirm everything first before I book the photographer. I can tell you how much I paid to go this July for 4 days it was $1098.

    Hello Borgesn, Totally understand your concerns, picking the resort has by far been the hardest part. One our #1 must haves was an all inclusive family friendly resort. The appearance of the beach also had a lot to do with our decision. Based on reviews and pictures we found that Riviera Maya had the best beaches. We decided on Barcelo for various reasons: - we were going to have a catholic ceremony and they have a chapel in the resort (now we aren't and their gazebo for symbolic ceremony is amazing) - Overall reviews on the hotel/weddings at the Barcelo have been very good as well and the pictures look amazing. i also met someone who got married there and highly recommended it. - My fiancé and I aren't too worried about the weather (it's paradise it's suppose to be hot lol) - I must admit their packages are "alright" and we decided the best one for now is the mint breeze but that may change. Even though it has an indoor reception I think I can deal with that and I will get to wear heels! -last but not least the rates were pretty good since I don't want my guests spending no more than $1300 I don't think it's too late to book since we are still a year out. My date is on hold right now until I book my stay. This has me a little worried because I won't be able to book until August since flights for July 2014 aren't out yet. They hold your date for 2 months and I reserved back in March. I'm actually waiting to hear back from the WC to make sure my date is still on hold. When searching for resorts I just knew this was "the one". I hope you find yours! Hope this helped, Good luck

    Do you have to have your room booked in order to reserve your wedding date?
