Our Dw: Dreams Riviera Cancun 17 Apr 2015

No, we did not receive a physical photo album from them. There wasn't a set limit of photos that we could have, but they do discard some of the photos that didn't meet their standards, which is totally fine and understandable. As far as the RAW images, I'm not sure - my husband is the photo expert, so I'll ask him. The thumb drive has two sets of "albums," one that is watermarked so you can share any/all images on social media, and a second without watermarks so you can print photos. They also include a document stating that you own the rights to the photos and you can make as many prints as you'd like. -

Thank you! Married life is great and we are having a lot of fun! I was very excited to come back and to share my photos with you guys (and future brides who may come across my planning journal)! Choosing the "right" photographer was the most important part of planning, to me, because eventually, memories fade..I wanted the emotions to live on forever - and Del Sol did exactly that! They are finalizing the rest of the photographs!!! YAAAYYYY!!! I have no idea how to chose which ones we display in the house! LOL -

@@badgerbride - We chose DRC because it wasn't overly pricey, but it also wasn't the least expensive resort. We wanted to chose a resort that had all that we wanted, as well as feeling comfortable inviting our guests to a resort that lived up to it's name and why it was a little on the higher side. We also sent out info, save the dates, prices, and invites VERY early so people could start saving and planning to attend. In reality, go with the resort that you and your hubby want because the guests that can make it and really want to, will find a way. You can't please everyone and you shouldn't sacrifice what you guys want. We used a travel agent, so yes, our guests received a group rate. Also, through our TA, hubby & I received a "refund" check of $3000. It was something like every 5th room, we received $100, so that was nice to look forward to... especially since he and I paid for the entire wedding ourselves. Hope this helps! Happy planning! & let me know if you have any other ??s ________________________ I'll post a pic of my hair... maybe today when I'm all made-up for our dinner date -

Hi everyone! Thanks for the compliments!!! I absolutely will share more photos with yall! ____________________ The rosary picture has my mom, myself, and my bestie in it. My sister isn't in the shot because of where she was standing . But, she may in another shot at a different angle..we'll see. Either way, it's a beautiful photo! My "something old" & "something borrowed" was my mom's first rosary. So, we said a prayer with it before the ceremony and I carried it with my bouquet. This was really important to me, especially since we didn't have a Catholic ceremony. __________________ Random, I cut and colored my hair today! I cut off 6 inches!!! Wooo hoooo!!! -
@@Matt Adcock - I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Thanks for the sneak peek images this morning! ___________________________________________________ We did Chichen Itza (the deluxe tour) and Snorkeling in 3 different cenotes! _________________________________________________ @@jenna85 By pddcmc Posted 27 April 2015 - 10:22 AM ⋅ 26 Total Views ⋅ 0 Comments Pros: Fun stylist & artist that created a flawless bridal look Cons: Communication with Martina Natacha Bitsch (hair) and Carla (airbrush make-up) arrived promptly at 12:30, as arranged. They were both very sweet, outgoing, and fun. Their work was phenomenal! They did my hair and make-up, as well as my MOH and mother's. We were all finished by 3 pm. I did not book trial run, I simply emailed several photos of "looks" that I liked. I was and still am extremely happy with how I looked. I received countless compliments alllll day and night! Check out my planning journal for photos of my hair and make-up. Only "negative" was communication with Martina. I became rather panicked because I had sent a payment via paypal, but did not receive a confirmation or details regarding the services I booked. After 3 days of not hearing anything, I had reached out to paypal with a complaint. This initiated communication again. Other than that, everything worked wonderfully.

I had Maira. She is nice, but do be sure to print out every correspondence and bring it to the meeting. We used TSA approved locks for peace of mind. I was starting to feel under the weather a few days before we left... I drank a lot of all-natural fruit juice with vitamin A, C, & E. I also started taking Zicam. And sleep. Get plenty of sleep. All of this did the trick. Oh, and girl. Don't forget to drink a lot of water! Flying dehydrates you... you want to be well-hydrated for great skin and to feel fantastic on your wedding day! Yes, if you are doing this idea, you need the place cards to be made out and have something on the end. Like you saw, I used toothpicks. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that Maira would attach something to the cards as long as I brought them. Well, I was mistaken. So, my girls and I got toothpicks from a restaurant and used the super glue that I brought just in case (thank goodness!) and attached the toothpicks to the cards in about 5 minutes. We designed our place cards and table numbers and had them printed at FedEx (which now owns Kinkos... I didn't know that before lol). I used the standard dimensions 3.5" x 2"
