  1. I had some second guessing after I purchased it but I went back to the bridal store and put on theirs and love it. And now that it's in my house I've had it on 3 times (lol I know I know) and I'm super happy with my purchase. But to be honest until I got it back on a few times I wasn't sure either. Maybe you will be the same? My pics of it aren't the greatest either but I love it and feel like a princess in it so that's good enough for me. If you love the dress then that's all the matters. The fear I have is if you invest in a second dress what if you have regrets again. I feel you picked it for a reason. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I'm not from Toronto but my fiancé is and I looked at getting married in Niagara Falls overlooking the falls. Lots of hotels do it. It's beautiful but probably pricey. Ok it is pricey but I'm a frugal bride. Just an idea Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. My BMs bouquets are three gerber daisies and some greenery. Quoted at $22 each or I wouldn't have paid!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I've iron on to a shirt and also didn't apply enough heat too. So either have extra bags or practice on old shirts first. Good luck Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. I had a hard time finding a TA too. Ended up with one in BC and I am in AB. We also got group rates for each city and also got bonuses for every 17 free. (Air Canada). Our resort also has a booking deal. I wanted DR too as I've never been but the travel company we first went too (and got nowhere - flight centre) told us Mexico will be the cheapest. But I know wonder if that's true. Cuba is gorgeous. Gorgeous!!!!! Loved every second but couldn't make my guests eat that food lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. The lady I know who married there in march used the spa for her hair and they all looked awesome. I may do my own makeup and get a training session from MAC or may just pay them to do that too. But definately hair at spa. I trust them but also no way I'm paying the external supplier fee Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. It's a modified year. So a week at thanksgiving and an extra at Christmas. I like it as makes daycare cheaper hehehe Good luck! I like being under the gun as I work better under pressure but 4 months .. I'm so excited for you!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I'm not traditional ... At first none of the men (except fiancé) were getting bouts and honestly I considered my BMs not even having flowers but then I made room in the budget for them. I think they are a rip cost wise. So in the end the BP will have them and my dad. Otherwise no one else. But from what I've seen at weddings most are pinned. Not sure I've ever seen a wrist one. I like the tie or bow tie or hankerchief instead for the pop of color on men but my fiancé doesn't lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I just haven't finalized a lot of our music and such. And of course until our payment deadline my guest list may change. Yours is due in sept right for wedding in December? You are sneaking up on T minus 4 months. Omg aren't you excited? My kids start school aug 18!!! I have most stuff in order it's just finishing all the little stuff (tags, pre table letter, table signs etc) but most is bought Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I did it after because I didn't want anyone to feel pressure! I didn't wait until deposits were paid though. Once I threw out that we were having a DW and and knew they'd come I asked. But unless you wait until they pay you may find some still don't come. So many ways to do it Edit. I didn't have anyone who assumed they would. Well not sure?? Haha. One I would have asked straight out RSVP or not but she hasn't talked to me since I got engaged so that solved that. Sigh Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I had planned to tip before but maybe not! A bride on here told them here is $50 and if all goes well you can have another $50 after but not sure that's me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. A lady I know who married at my resort said she tipped the WC $50. She said she ended up with some wedding extras she hadn't asked for or paid for so wasn't even sure the WC took the money for herself. But I plan to tip cause I want it all to go off without a hitch! And show we appreciate their hard work. Thoughts on photography? I know sometimes they build that in the price. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. I'd hope that give/take she'd be close. But I guess it depends what her experience is with it?! At David's bridal they have alterations look at your dress. Unfortunately they were so busy they didn't see me it in but did quote the hemming. I still plan to shop around -- that one in the south I've mentioned peaks my interest. I have come to believe any associated with a bridal store will cost more. I love the corset look. Never even thought of it until this board. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Oh neat. Did you like it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Did anyone send their wedding paperwork in fairly quick then send a finalized one 3 months before (which was when I was told to send it all in). A part of me wants to send my cake dinner etc choices in now but don't want to send me guest list until later. Know a few brides who didn't get the locations they'd requested (here in Calgary not at this resort) and it's making me nervous if I am Being completely honest. I already confirmed I got the palapa upgrade so just my own nerves. No reason to feel this way. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. I'd also be livid. I agree it's possible something will go wrong but let's all cross our fingers it will be minor! My dress fits pretty awesome too minus the length. So alterations should be minimal once I get back from my holiday bender and lose 5 lbs hehe Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. I think there is a part of us that feels we have more control. Not only did she almost lose her dress but heritage park told her they double booked and she had to change her location. Then someone broke into their truck. Wth! Poor girl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Trust me. I saved $40 in shipping which would have been great had I not have went to seattle for $500 hahaha. But seattle is gorgeous and I picked up my sons shorts too and they wouldn't ship to Canada. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk It's not!!! Prices are fairly similar and with our crappy dollar it ends up more. Highly disappointed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. We are getting married at the grand sirenis in January 2015. You? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. I have the app. Shows all that's on sale and the coupons. Also you can search for items you may want. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I'm not doing a candy bar but dollarama is cheap or the bulk barn. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. I have to store mine at home. Which I like cause I can try on lol My friends sister in laws store burnt but hers got out thankfully. Smelt like smoke but could be worse. Scary! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. Search them @@MissJen3 some areas of Canada do have them. Saw one in kelowna BC yesterday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Picked up my Amols maracas from the states today! (Thought I was saving $40 in shipping them to the border but ended going to seattle which cost $500 doh - am I the only one who feels bad spending $$ now on things beside the wedding?) Anyways lol They are cute and perfect for the cost but the lighter colored ones (ie yellow) need a second coat of paint and are blotchy looking. I will use those last and am glad I ordered extra. Otherwise look quite authentic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. I'd say our first official date was may 4 (met earlier but he went traveling). Officially a couple early June and engaged April in Cuba. Shocked me!!! As a girl we dream of this stuff but I've been in LTR . Like 9 years and kids that never resulted in anything so sometimes I felt it would never come Love that I had no idea.
