  1. @@veryvalentine, so exciting! I just hooked a meeting today for next week and realized it's already June?!?! You're so organized, can't believe you're packing....very impressive!
  2. Wow, you looked so beautiful! I'm so happy to hear that Dreams went above and beyond your expectations and that you had the wedding of your dreams. Such beautiful pictures, I loved your colour scheme and how gorgeous everything turned out
  3. How have I missed so much! You are so creative and am so jealous of that. I love the hangers, how did you get the ribbon tied perfectly? I think that alone would be a struggle for me lol I love the look of the suspenders, I think it completes the outfit. It looks sharp! And don't be hard on yourself during these last two months. I agree with everyone that I would consider myself very lucky if my to do list (2 months from the wedding date) looked like yours.
  4. Your dress looks beautiful on you! And the shoes are fantastic! You can't beat that price, congrats
  5. @@MissFrench they're such a great idea and I'm torn if I should do these or bouquets. The etsy seller's name is eclu
  6. @@TinkerSofi I'm so reluctant because like you said, I still have lots of time to wait for a good sale. I'm like you, 30% is just not as satisfying. Plus, I know I'll be kicking myself when then next 40 or 50% coupon comes along.
  7. @@calgarybride2015 I have been having a @@TinkerSofi moment and have been debating if I should just wait for the 40 or 50% off coupon lol What do you guys think? It's all coming down to saving where I can @ I also love your program fans so don't regret anything. Like I've said before, I don't have a creative bone in my body so I was forced to look into what's already made lol
  8. @ I've been eyeing those fans, I love the wooden look. I was so close to buying fans from oriental trading but like @@TinkerSofi said, after duties and shipping it wasn't that good of a deal. @@TinkerSofi are the fans quite sturdy? Do they generate a lot of wind when fanning?
  9. @@TinkerSofi your bridesmaid's dresses are beautiful. They look like great dresses for the beach. And I've been waiting for a sale so I can buy the fans. Every time they have a good sale, something comes up. During the last 50% sale, I missed it because my doggy got sick. I was gonna get them today with the additional 20% but ended up having to work late. At least I have time on my hands
  10. Thank you so much @@LauraM for the much needed and very informative review. I've already booked psav so I'm glad they were great. How was your wedding? Congrats and I can't wait to hear your review
  11. @@LisaAnthonyPoppy I saw your reply to my message and I was concerned. I didn't want to pry as to why you lost your excitement but now I see why. Like everyone else, I admire your honesty and ability to show your vulnerability. Your honesty with your fiancé and telling him about the other person you found emotional support from is a great step in resolving your issues. It's true that it would be unfair to criticize him without making him aware of the issues so I'm glad you have both been open to each other. As you open up communication with each other and possibly go through counselling, I ask you to stay honest in the process. Especially with yourself. Ask yourself why you wanted to marry him in the first place. Was it because it's comfortable, it's the logical "next step" in your relationship, convenience for your child or is it because you love him and want to share your life together? If it's not the latter, perhaps postponing the wedding would be best. It's not uncommon to have doubts but you sound like you have more than doubts.
  12. Beautiful pics! I love the sunset photo if you and your hubby. And I love the closeup with your bouquet, it shows the jewels nicely
  13. @@LisaAnthonyPoppy less than a month for you? I'm so excited and happy for you!
  14. I'm so glad the chicken cutlets worked out! They are super comfy but they still show? Can you manipulate them so they're positioned differently? Maybe stick them lower? Your cleavage may look funny though
  15. @@smileitseb thanks for sharing your video, the sparklers added such a beautiful effect during your first dance. Congratulations on your nuptials
  16. @@snswedding2016 I love those sandals! Flip flops are cute but aside from them flying off my feet while dancing, I was afraid of that slapping noise you sometimes get while walking (maybe I just walk funny in them lol). The veil looks so pretty. It's a great length too, it's not so long that it would fly around and bug you too much.
  17. @@TinkerSofi I'm so glad to hear your alterations turned out well. That's a great price for alterations. It's good their letting it out a bit even if it closed. The last thing you want us to feel pain from wearing it all day! And I'm sure that although Juan doesn't get it now, he'll appreciate your sentiment to give his sisters presents. All guys can see at this point in the wedding prep is the money being spent but they're not looking at it from a sentimental perspective. And I agree with you and @, I love VS swimsuits! I'm so glad they're in Canada now and we can try on the suits. I was always afraid to try on the high waisted suits. I love the look but thought it may accentuate my stomach more!
  18. I hope you get some much needed rest! You look gorgeous in that dress
  19. @@TinkerSofi, I'm sorry to hear about your dad. I hope that he has a speedy recovery, especially in time to enjoy himself at your wedding. And I love that card. I'm like you and I never know what to write. I just end up with something generic like congrats lol
  20. @@Danielle1 I can't really say exactly how much of the planning should be done already. We were engaged June 2014 and boomed with Palace October 2014. All this time has basically had me plan quite a bit. My family makes fun of me because they know I'm a huge planner, they even bought me an iPad to use just for wedding planning! Lol I've already booked a photographer (Samuel Luna), DJ (PSAV), decor and flowers (LatinAsia) and hair/makeup stylists (Styling Trio). If there's a vendor you really like, I say book them asap so you secure your date with them. I really love our photographer's style so I booked him last year! This also saved us a bit since we were able to secure 2014 pricing. As for deposits, if they are palace approved and require deposits, you would place them directly through Palace. Styling trio and PSAV didn't need deposits. Only LatinAsia required a 50% deposit to secure their services. I placed the deposit with Elizabeth. For those who aren't approved, you pay the deposit directly with the vendor. I used PayPal with Samuel Luna. I basically had Elizabeth give me a list of all approved vendors and I contacted them directly. Once I wanted to sign with the vendor, I then made sure to cc my wedding coordinator (Elizabeth then) so she was aware. Elizabeth would then place all my contracts in my file. I think at the very least, you should have Yanet send you all the brochures/price lists for the vendors. I can also send them to you if you like. Just make sure to double check with Yanet that the vendor is still palace approved so you don't get charged vendor fees.
  21. @@Danielle1 the same thing happened to me! She sent me an email mid April saying she wanted to set up a call. I replied the same day then never heard anything. I sent a follow up email last week and she replied right away. So we set up a time for this Saturday. I will certainly keep you posted. How far along are you with your wedding planning? Luckily I was able to do a lot of it with Elizabeth. I've made sure I saved all my messages just in case.
  22. @@Danielle1 I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a Moon Palace bride and had Elizabeth as my coordinator but has not been reassigned to Yanet. I miss Elizabeth, she was so responsive and on top of things. I've found Yanet to be slower at responding but it would be hard to follow Elizabeth. Apparently Yanet is new to the wedding department. I'm supposed to have a telephone call with Yanet this Saturday to go over my file. Have you had a call with her yet?
  23. @@Victoriabride I love the second dress. You have a tough decision since they're both really beautiful but I love the classic look of the second one. It surprises me a little since I love ruffles. Whichever you choose, both dresses look gorgeous on you!
  24. Thanks for all the advice @ and @@veryvalentine. And you make a great point @, I will schedule it for 7pm the next day
