Any 2011 Brides out there?

[clgriffi7]

Thank you ladies.  I can't wait for next November to get here.  I was planning on starting to look at wedding bands over the holidays but I have to take my e-ring in tonight because the stone is loose - so I may have to start looking while I wait :-)  Because I am worried, I am not wearing my ring today for the first time in almost 6 months - it feels so odd to not have it on!

 Love your dress! I'm not very girly either, and ended up with a very lacy number LOL.

I had to give up my e-ring for the past few weeks, while they custom made the wedding band. It felt so odd, I pulled out my jewelery case, and found one of my mom's old rings that fit!  The jeweler was very nice and even polished up the ring so it looks new again

I love the flower peices thou. so i wanna try something with that.

My hair is curly so it goes wild when there´s humidity, that´s why  I´m having a professional do it for me. A casual updo or something to keep it away from my face.I

 

Mine too... Mine reminds me of Monica in Friends when they are in Barbados :-)

 

Up do for me!!!!! x Dont know what kind of up do but have no other option!!!!! x

This site has so many reviews and examples of photography by all of the major photographers in the Riviera Maya - so there should be plenty of info to help you make your decision.  You might even be able to ask a bride what price she was charged to see if there is room to negotiate!

 

Here are pictures of me in the sample of my dress taken at the dress shop .  Pardon the look of the bridal store - it is one of those places where you don't get a personal assistant, but it keeps the proces down.  If you are able to go to one of those on a week day you still get personal service while benefiting from the lower prices.  I am not a very ornate person, so this dress was perfect for me...

I have found a few photographers I like and who are available just trying to make the decision now, I am swaying towards Sascha Gluck.

My hair is curly as well- but i have a short haircut (longer in the front, short in the back) so I'm unfortunately limited in the updo's I can pull off.  Any ideas for short curly hair updo's? I'm getting married in Cancun 2/19/11 and as much as I like my hair down, I have a feeling it's not going to stay in place and will be blowing around everywhere on the beach! Not cute for pics!
