Cabo Photography: Ana And Jerome

Ana and Jerome were AMAZING! I just used them on my 1/18/15 wedding and they were perfect. I actually had a hard time finding wedding photography I liked. I felt like a lot of the Cabo photographers had a very different style than what I was going for. A lot of the photographers I looked at had very dark, dramatic photos (not bad photography, just not what I was going for). I really wanted my photographs to turn out light, bright, and fun (which was the vibe I was going for through my whole wedd

Cabo Wedding Coordinator: Yarai / Memories

Hello Cabo Brides: I was married in Cabo San Lucas on 1/18/15 and wanted to write a review of how amazing and wonderful our planner, Yarai (Memories Events and Planning) was! I interviewed many planners over Skype and even did reference checks on the planners I liked (I am a bit of a Type-A neurotic personality), and Yarai sounded the best by far. My fiancé, mom, and I then scheduled a trip down to Cabo to check out venues, and Yarai met us at our hotel and spent all day driving us around to 5

My Visit To Azul Fives Hotel, Riviera Maya

Hello Brides! I had the opportunity to visit the Hotel before booking it, and I took pictures of almost everything, I'm in love with it, it is really pretty, clean and modern. I also got the opportunity to eat there and try some of the drinks and cocktails, the mojito with mango is the best !!! And the food is really really great, I highly recommend the menu I got or change it for salmon instead of meat: 1. Bisque de tomate, croton de queso de cabra al aceite de albhaca 2. Filete de res en man

From The Beginning...

Once my fiancé, Bob, and I were engaged, the first thing I told everyone was to start saving their pennies. Bob proposed Jan 14, 2013 the day after we returned from our very first Caribbean Cruise vacation. We (ok, I ????) had always talked about getting married on a beach somewhere, so I started looking into resorts and found the Barcelo Bavaro Palace Deluxe. Fast forward 1 year... We were planning a last minute vacation to check out two options for our wedding week. Unfortunately I waited a

Our Honeymoon.*

Hello Brides, in this entry I'd like to share with you our plans for the honeymoon. We are taking a 3 week vacation, and since we've been together for almost 8 years now, we were thinking about places we've never been together before, something different and something we think we won't have the chance to repeat. So, we decided to go far far away, and we are going to New zealand, Australia and Bali. We both think this are incredible places and almost impossible to go on any other vacation.   My

A Little About The Bride/groom

We met on Craigslist (haha yes you read correct) in March 2010 and neither of us was looking for a relationship however as always with me when I'm not looking for something I find it. We bonded over the love of going to concerts, drinking and doing the nasty haha. But as I stated neither was looking for a relationship since we where not planning on staying in the same state past a year. This part is from my wedding wedding and tells the story of distance.   They met March 2010 and would love

Party Favors, Supplies And Fireworks!

Lately I´ve been trying to reduce the expense of my wedding and by chance I ran into a website that’s called The Knot. The website has a big variety of presents and all sorts of party props that can be customized with the wedding dates, names, etc. The prices are really good because they have lots of fifty and hundreds which makes it really comfortable to buy. With that being said, I was able to purchase all the things I wanted to use in the welcome kit that includes personalized matchboxes, koo

Planning A Wedding And The Holidays

Hello again!   So as we are getting closer to the Holiday season, I've had a lot of family start asking what we want for Christmas. Overall, there is absolutely nothing that we need, but our families do not take 'nothing' as an answer! Is anyone else's family like this?!   I am hoping I can get some ideas from you all! I would really like to tell them to save their money and that all we want is for them to attend our wedding in Jamaica in 2016! However, $2000 isn't nearly close to what they

Back To Trying To Find A Dress

So, I got my dress in the mail yesterday that I was so excited about….   The fuchsia from the bottom of the dress bled on to the crochet top during shipping or while sitting at the warehouse. Even if it wasn't ruined I'm not sure that I would've liked it 100% anyway. It has the open back and the pop of color that I want on my dress, but it just isn't IT. Im going to contact the company to see if I can return it even though there were 'no returns' on the dress since the top is ruined and I won

My First Post: Planning, Family Troubles And Our Dream Wedding

Hello everyone!   Since this is my first post I will give some background about us. We got engaged in April this year while on vacation celebrating our 7 year anniversary! Yayy! We are both recent graduates, so we're broke, but we Love to travel! We decided that a destination wedding was perfect for us because it allowed us to share something we love to do (travel) with our immediate family and our extended family is huge and would be very costly if we had a traditional wedding. So, we decided

Our October 18 Wedding At Occidental Grand

My husband and I got married at the Occidental Grand on October 18, 2014. We were originally planning to get married in Cabo and due to the hurricane, were unable to fly there! So, 3 weeks before the wedding, we switched everything over to Nuevo Vallarta!   With that said, the resort did an amazing job pulling off the wedding in 3 weeks! This website was so helpful to me as I was planning my own wedding, so I wanted to give a review of the major aspects of this resort for future brides.   Oc

Reception In The Ballrooms

I am going to be totally honest and as specific as I can be with this blog. My fiance is going to pull his hair out! Everytime we look around there is an extra costs. We decided to go with the ballroom however it is all carpet with no where to dance so guess what?... Its $850 for a dance floor! Then we thought that the Gazebo directly on the beach comes with the ulitimate package and it does not so guest what?... $380 just for the basic gazebo and white linen! I love the place and the fact that

Davids Bridal Store Credit

I have a Davids Bridal Store Credit for $440.06 and I need to sell so I can pay the credit card bill. Long Story short, I applied for a credit card to help a friend well someone I thought was a friend and I was doing a good thing. She paid me for one payment and then she decided to give me the dress back and everything she bought there. I was stuck with the dress, shoes, jewelry and the bill. I went to Davids Bridal and they gave me a store credit. I am willing to negotiate a price for the store

Excellence Punta Cana Wedding

Hello! My name is Natia, soon to be Natia Swan I'm planning to get married at the Excellence Punta Cana Sept 2015 and I'm looking for brides (past and future) to come and share their experience. I have noticed that planning a destination wedding comes down to the last few months and resorts don't share a lot of information before that. Also the communication is not always the best which is a shame. I'm attaching some of the latest brochures for brides to check out and start to budget. I got t
