@@TinkerSofi, what ever happened with this issue? He sounds like a real jerk. And maybe a little jealous that attention is on you and hubby. Give him a very polite F U

Here are mine. My SIL offered to do them and I am stressed enough so i let her have at it.

I am using Pixan Photography. From what I can see, he can really capture the feelings of the moment. I think their proposals were extremely reasonably priced and they always respond promptly to my emails. I feel very confident that im going to be soooo happy with our wedding photography. If you are considering using an outside vendor, you should take a look at Pixan.

Thank you!!

@@carrieandsam Welcome Back!!

@@Tallbride515..shades of white w gold accent color. Except dinner menues will be like a julep color w gold writing. Would you mind postimg pic or PM me when you get the image of the fan? My WC never calls me back. Im just going to have all my questions amd concerns ready for when she does and she will pay for making me wait so long. Where all the AS brides been? Hope all you ladies are doing wonderful!

Here is mine. Pic on right is one year ago when i purchased dress. Pic on left is last week. Its a bit snug now. Still need to start the alterations.

Positive vibes your way!! I know that if seems like it cant get better and you are gonna lose sleep. Try to remember that your guests will love you and celebrate you no matter what! {HUGS}

How nice to see 2 other brides from Texas I just filed for our licencse. In my opinion (moved here about one year ago) Texas is very effecient so I am not too worried about the marriage license. Mexico has nvr mentioned having an actual document.. I nvr thought to ask that. I will def ask wedding coordinaotr and get it in writing. Good luck brides!

We are doing a pre honey moon at Secrets St James in May. Then our DW is at Azul Sensatori in June. I am hoping to have all completed by May so I can go and relax and be cool until wedding day.

I love this topic..i admit though I am somewhat a bridezilla. I did request that all our guests wear white. Its on the sky deck, i want pictures to look nice and like a theme comes through. I dont care what people think. Its one day in my life that i can do whatever makes me and FI happy. I have been asked to post pivs of whats acceptable. I said "Beach Formal/Upscale Resort

Im also usimg Sky deck for my ceremony. I think I am just going to use sheers on the gazebo like the pic attached. Ive never been so I dont know, but I think sometimes just clean n simple looks nice. I hope so Who is going w plated meal and what did you choose as a starter? Its bring me so much anxiety. I opted for the mahi mahi & surf n turf option but should i serve a cold soup or a salad?

@@racht33 if you like my boarding passes, they are available on zazzle.

Zazzle has a sale. 50% off luggage tags

I have 3 MOH's (my 2 sisters and my new sister in law) and he has 6 groomsmen. Each gal will walk with 2 guys. I couldnt pick one sister over the other for MOH and then i didnt want my sis in law to be left out. They have been wonderful. Each have thier own strengths. Do wht makes you happy. It will be refreshing. I would have been fine too without a bridal party but sisters and i have a pact

We sent out postcards STD about 11 mos in advance, had a website up and ready and used boarding pass invites. I did like the passport idea but i just didnt want to spend too much $$ on that. People were still really excited, simply because it was a destination. I love them both and my website too. To my surprise, my TA will be sending each guests (after final payments) a travel package that will include a case for their travel documents, luggage tags and travel tips w contact info. Also once we have the final rooming list, we are going to create a private facebook page for only those guests and i am going to update it with lil fun facts about Mexico and little FYI's to get people really excited. You cant go wrong. Your guests will be excited no matter what! Moms will be mom's. Did you already order and pay for them? If you did, dont second guess yourself. Sorry about the fries in the background. Its been one of those weeks And we only sent invites to those people that booked a room or expressed interest. Some people didnt show any interest at all so why bother. I mean c"mon?

I ordered real touch bouquets from an Etsy vendor. I hope to see them soon. I picked 3 colors to use and explained my vision for wedding. She will use flowers from her surplus from other orders. I got a huge discount! About 200 for bouquets, bouts, corsages for my entire bridal party. I cant spreak to her work though since i have not rrcueved yet..if you are interested in doing something like that, pm me and i will be happy to pass along that info. And i attached the silk flowers i will use for centerpieces. I will look to sell them after wedding (june 21, 2015)

@@racht33, the package through my TA includes transport to/from airport and resort. I honestly didnt research how far the drive is or how much it would be to leave. None of my guests expressed interest in leaving the resort.

Great review! Thank you for taking the time to post this. My venue is A Sensatori, photographer Pixan and H2O cruises. I found all your posts to be very relevant and reassuring for me. I cant wait to go look at your pics. I have trouble on my phone. Did you like the food?

Here are my bridesmaids dresses. I bought them at Macys and they were about $75 each. Around holidays or prom is always a good time to find some nice gems. The girls just have to get them altered.

Coozies? Maybe with a mustache that says "salud" or bienvenidos.. im adding chile n lime cornuts. I like the coaster idea. I have no interest at all in leaving resort though. I feel that would stress me out more

You shoukd research how far the drive or how much cab fare is if your guests want to go do the whole cancun night life. Some resorts are 45 min to an hour away and that is a buzz kill. Ive heard good things about Palace Resorts and all the other ones mentioned above. We are at Azul sensatori. Most resorts will offer perks for you based on rooms booked and i think AS had the best value at the time I booked. I would def recommend using a travel agent. Our least expensive package was $573 per guest, includes 3 nights. The stinger was some of the airfare my guests incurred and adding decor. We are having 103 confirmed guests. Your pics will be beautiful no matter what but a good photographer will make them better. I think chosing resort was the worst part of the whole process

@@dathotgal My budget was 10k for a.wedding in Riviera Maya. We expected 75 guests. We have 97 confirmed and booked. Our final bill is looking to be around 21k. The things that ate our budget the most was: DJ, photographer, our airfare and acccomodations. Anything that has to do with wedding is included in this number. Im bringing my own decor and using silk flowers. Id probably cushion your budget with another 5 to 8k

@@LisaAnthonyPoppy Ouch! People can be so hurtful!!!! People also have $$$ and time for what they want to do. 18 mos is more than enoigh time. I had a friend tell me "im not going to make your wedding. I like to hike and i dont want to sit around and drink"...i appreciated her honesty.

@@carrieandsam. Thank you!! I think Sam will stand out with a vest. The guys will look great w pants and button down. The belt and shoes will be a nice, classy amd generous touch. Do you have pics? Not sure on shoes...just not flip flops
