We are both in toronto so if there is anything you want to sell after your wedding or are willing to part with, please let me know. Or if you find any great ideas that match our colors I would certainly love to hear about them. My main problem is with logo stuff so if you have anything you could share i would appreciate it! Congrats and happy planning!

So then I tracked down a store in Ontario that had them. I truly searched all over the world for them b/c I was obsessed when Michelle posted her pick Thanks Michelle!!!!

I love the green and aqua colours! But i am pink obsessed everything has to be pink in my world ha ha

Yey! We just booked our photographer. He's the photographer for the city's paper. I love the candid, journalistic style -- so I figured I had to go right to the source!

 

So excited.

How did your resort visits go? We are planning awedding in Riviera Maya in Macrch, 2011 and have the SAME situation. Just a couple of kids, but we can't do an adults only. We are looking at Barcello Palace and would love to know if you've figured it out!

We did a site inspection of a couple of places in April this year. Similar situation, just a couple of kids, so no adults only resort. We ended up choosing the Azul Sensatori.

We did look at the Dreams resorts, and Barcelo Maya Palace. Both had great reviews and tons of restaurants and stuff to do. Plus each of these resorts, Dreams and Barcelo had many 'sister' resorts all beside each other. So if guests could not afford the Palace, they might be able to afford the Riviera, etc. The downside is all the resorts together meant many buildings and things could be far apart. As well FI and I wanted a smaller resort, and the Barcelo had over 3000 rooms within its complex. I think the Dreams complex was smaller at about 1800 rooms, if I remember correctly. It just depends on what you're looking for. We stayed at the Grand Pallidum 2 years ago, and it was similar. Food was good, rooms great, but it was all spread out. But you had tons of choices for bars, restaurants and costs. All of these resorts were stunning and I am sure you would be thrilled to stay at either. Just be aware these resorts can also host multiple weddings on the same day. Good luck, and if there are any other questions please ask.
