I have a meeting with Ana in November. What types of things did you discuss with her on your visit? Did you go over flowers and decorations? I'm wondering if I can get a lot of my decisions made during that visit.

I'm pretty sure I already hit submit on this but I can't find my post, so I'm trying this again. I appologize in advance if this post comes up twice.

I was wondering what you discussed with Ana on your visit. Did you talk about decorations and flowers? I'm meeting with Ana in November and am curious if we will be able to make those types of decisions on the spot. Also did you happen to have a list of questions to ask? Any additional info you received from your visit would be so helpful!

I know alot of people don't like the wedding gazebo, but I actaully did, I think it looks really nice and won't need a lot of decorations. Tracy

Is there a chance you could send them to my email address? It is [email protected]. Also I was reading a post about decorating the gazebo? What more do they do for that? Anyone know. I am trying to decide what location we would like to do as well... I think the beach would be so perfect but what do they use to decorate that? Also do they have chair covers? One more thing.. he he So sorry!! But if you have your cocktail hour say by the hot tub, Do they set up a lounging area? With places to sit and a bar?

Hope all you ladies are having a wonderful week!!

I loved it the second I put it on but was not sure when I saw it on the hanger...funny how that works out!

WOW!!!! Your dress is beautiful!!! I ordered my dress a month ago and it is also a Maggie Sottero Gown!!! I LOVE IT!!! It is Gown # SD5204!! The crazy thing is I tried another gown of hers on and LOVED it but they did not have that one in. I called every bridal store even one in Calgary and Grand Praire which is hours away from me but no one had it!! I ordered it without even trying it on! I know it will be just perfect!! Evey bridal store said her gowns are amazing the way they fit!!

Hey Ashley,
so you ordered dress SD5204, but did not get to try it on? It is a beautiful dress and I have looked at that one a million times on the website! It is probably my second fav to mine. Good job, I am sure you will look amazing in the dress! Apparently Maggie designs her dresses here in Sydney Australia, right down the hall from a dress store that I went too to show my mother-in-law to be my dress. Congrats on choosing a dress, it is beautiful!

Hi all,

 

I found this link on Facebook:

 

http://web.mac.com/vallarta_adventur...RC/iframe.html

 

Rod embedded it in a comment on someone elses post, so it wasn't exactly that visible. Anyhow, thought I would share it with you.

Carina-

I just heard back from Claudia Rodriguez...she said she is not available on your date but that some of her associates are. I didn't ask her any more because I figured if it was 2 different photographers, we probably wouldn't be able to get a deal.

As far as the invitations, I put December 1st as my RSVP date. I sent out invites a week and a half ago. I did not send out STD's or anything else because I just did not have the time to do so (didn't choose resort until early September). I didn't say that they had to book by then, just that they had to let me know whether or not they planned on coming.

Oh forgot to add...my dress is also a maggie (actually sottero & midgley)...

I love both of your dresses - they are beautiful!!
