    http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/topic/77763-tygrrlilys-planning-thread-beach-palace-resort-121914/ Here is her thread, her review is in her bookmark where I am sure most of the professional photos are. https://www.facebook.com/FotoCielitoLindo?fref=ts Is their FB page! The girl in the 'pin up' type shots is Perla, she is due in October so I assume would be back to shooting in Feb!! Her husband also works(ed) for Adventure Photos as well. His name is Hazel. If you went this route, I have a lot of their work I can send to show you more than you may find on their FB page.

    Hey! That price for Lancelotti is unreal. I'm pretty sure I saw his prices and it wasn't that good so @ you did fantastic girl!!! @@tygrrlily used him so maybe take a look for her planning thread and you can see some more of his work @@Wafflesmom. Ya that is a large jump!! I agree. Seems a bit unfair. All I can assume is that they brought their prices in line with what else is out there. When I did my research they were a lot cheaper than everyone else I researched. If you can find a Canadian photog living in Mexico who would allow you to pay in CDN or peso, it may not be bad. Definately ask. Unless you can find that you won't beat the exchange rate disaster I'm going to Vegas in 3 weeks and it kills me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    What is tough is that there are a lot of good ones with decent prices but unless you spend a lot of time on here (hahaha) you don't know all the ones to research . I missed so many in my initial research and brides have posted such gorgeous pics. @@TinkerSofi. I knew there was an M Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Had you already booked? If yes I'm surprised they didn't honor the prices. Sounds like you may not have yet That said, these were my runners up who were in my price range were.... - Samual Luna - Bohemia Photography - Dean Sanderson Others have used Photos in Cancun, Ivan Luckie, Lancelotti, Del Sol and Moments that Matter (drawing a blank of who @@TinkerSofi is using) Also the lady I used from Adventure Photos also has her own company called CeilitoLindo Photography.

    What an exciting time this is!!! The final countdown is on, you've gotten your new home date and you feel like a gremlin hehe Your quote is beautiful. Sometimes I wish I had done the vows and such but I know I would have been a babbling mess hehe will be beautiful. Omg that is very last minute. I'm sure they will get it done! Was she thinking the dress was too small before? Here is a 2 part answer... If your photog and his assistant split up 30 mins each is perfect. If they don't you need the whole hour -- which will still be 30 mins for bride and for groom. As you have to appreciate they need to travel between rooms as well - although I think your resort isn't massive!! We allocated an hour and it was enough. But she had a good 10 min walk between rooms!!! Yay super excited for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    @@RivieraBride15 I am soooo sorry to hear about your brother. What a tough thing to go thru. Hugs. I think it must sting a bit more when it's your family member, especially a sister. So I want to applaud you for being able to move past it. 96 days will fly by! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Welcome. I paid for a portion of their dresses. I got them sandals and their jewelry to wear for the weddings. Also got them a beach bag and makeup bag that I filled with goodies like a compact, nail file, body spray, etc. (Lol I can't even remember now it's been so long). Hope that helps.

    I felt terrible asking to change my ring. I couldn't imagine asking to use my ex's diamond cause it was bigger. Just when you think you've seen or heard it all, you really haven't Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Lots of brides find a garter with the sports team on it. That's another idea. Both teams kinda suck soooo lol. GO FLAMES!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Congrats on becoming a MRS! So glad it all went well. LOVED your pics! You made a gorgeous bride.

    I think your dress is gorgeous and your little 'jacket' is stunning and will go well with your color palette. Personally I love your BMs dresses. Gorgeous and that price is stellar!! I know a few people from Cape Breton actually. And I don't believe it's a large place is it? You've been all over you were lying!! I look forward to hearing more!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Awe love your planning thread I love a great sense of humor and having fun with your partner and it sounds like you two have a blast men really can be awesome can't they? Love your story!! I also met my husband thru online dating!! E-Harmony to be exact. My kid's dad used to always make me walk on the inside away from traffic so that made me LOL when I read it Your ring is gorgeous and so special considering his grandmas diamond in there. Ohhhhhh. Calling you drunk and saying I love you. This is a true story. We were in kelowna for a weekend and had, had to much to drink. Shawn says to me "you have no idea how much I love you. I mean like you. " I still tease him about it. If I wasn't so nervous talking in front of a group I would have told the story at our wedding!! Can't wait for more!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The 50 card quantities are not the 'standard business cards' but more the personalized ones. Once you dig around you'll see what I mean. I just remember if you want the card double sided it has to be 100 or more. Great idea on having printing done at staples and such!! I printed some things at home at higher quality cardstock. Vistaprint doesn't allow it for shipping or taxes if I recall but totally could be wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I vote for # 2 as well, they look great!! You are right no one will notice if your colors match your invite - especially if they are in the same color family! My invites had a lighter pink ticket jacket because at the time I couldn't find fuchsia. No one noticed or cared really! I also agree that you can't go wrong either way. I do know that with Vistaprint you need to use the price of the groupon in one go or you forfeit the promotional value. So I would keep that in mind depending how much your invites cost against your groupon! With respect to your table numbers and vistaprint. Unless you order something that is large and only comes in the quantity of 1 you will be stuck with extras When I did my business card items I would generally do the special ones where I could order 50 but when I wanted to do a card using the front and back, I had to order 100. I had to throw the rest out because I had no use for them. Sucks but I don't think you will find another way around it.

    Hahaha my husband was the same or cracked a lame joke. Like he wanted to wear banana hammocks when I'd ask about his attire. It's funny now but not so much back then. I also agree that I love the second one better and feel you will have an easier time finding those colors. The flowers are all beautiful too. Who knew belinis didn't have to be frozen. I like those frozen type drinks!!! And I also didn't know they were Italian!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I also sent my friend an email based on the exact same reasons you listed. If that's how you need to do it, I support it. That said, I'd wait until after your birthday just incase the response isn't positive and she still comes to your party. Definatley up to you though. Keep us posted.

    Well said @@TinkerSofi!! I do agree you should talk to her to clear the air. After I cleared the air I tried once more and then moved on. Just don't let it consume you and ruin this happy time in your lives. I had to laugh, I've been in some pretty terrible relationships - one which took me many many years to leave and once the light finally turned on it was easy for me. But it took time to get there. Now I find myself saying 'what are you doing? Omg leave him!!' But I should know the it's a tough cycle!! I just can see much more clearly now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I honestly sat there and thought it thru more times than you care to know. Talked to various people and really just couldn't piece it together. You will only torture yourself, trust me, so try to move on from it. Soon enough it will all be a distant memory. Good luck at your birthday party this weekend! I hope for your sake she starts no drama!! but your friends will have your back. So go and enjoy yourself. Let us know how it goes. OH!!! and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! ps - my name is Kim hehe
