Moon Palace 2010 Brides!!

Yea for Brooke and Tricia. Love the wedding play by play =))

 

Welcome karmyj and Scorpio. Im getting married right after you...maybe i will see you there

 

 

I got my dress!!! from j crew of all places....weird i know. i wanted a very beachy dress..

Hi Asbarret - I will still be there when you arrive since you have to arrive 3 days before wedding day!!!

I got my dress too about a month ago!

J Crew is perfect for beachy dress.

What else have you gotten done so far?

thats great...we get there on monday the 25th

 

where did you get your dress?

 

ive sent out my invitations (was going to do STD's then invites but i kinda thought it was redundant AND more expensive)

i also got out travel agent and made our website.

found our chair bows, table runners and rose petals online (havent ordered though)

 

ive looked around for some OOT bag stuff...but its a little early for that.

 

what have you done so far?? if it wasn't for this site i would have just shown up at MP in october completely clueless. ha

I'll be there!!

I got mine from a bridal store in NJ.

I sent STD's about a year in advance and will send out my invites sometime in March because it will my travel agents info so my guests can contact her and start booking.

Chair bows, table runners, rose petals I didn't do any of that!! Are you bringing all of that with you?

I think I may have a get together right before the wedding and give out OOT bags then. This way I don't have to bring all of that stuff with me.

I haven't really done much so far and reading this site makes me feel like I'm slacking!!! haha.

What are you doing about a photographer?

This site totally makes me feel like a slacker too. Other than the things I've listed...I don't really plan on doing much else other than pick the wedding party clothes. Stress free wedding =)

 

I want to bring the bows/runners/petals because the cost will be significantly less than getting them from MP. I'm not doing much in the way of decor at the ceremony/reception, but I figured I could spring for a little color on the chairs and tables.

 

My photographer is Sascha Gluck...just posted on your photog thread. I had to book him a night at MP but I think it is so worth it.

 

His site: Destination Wedding Photographer for Cancun and Riviera Maya and the rest of the World

 

here is a link to photos that the resort photog took of a BDW bride, tinam2b:

Did you order the bows and table runners knowing how many chairs or tables you will need already?

 

I emailed him a couple months ago when I started looking into outside vendors. I like his work. I'm also in contact with Lidia Grosso (phtographer).

 

Looking at this site I also found out so many people actually get married before Mexico to avoid the charges and the blood tests.

Hi Scorpio,
I was really laid back initially so didn't really start thinking about what I wanted but since I've been on here I've really been inspired to get things going!!

Being as we're along way from Mexico and the price it costs to get there we sent the invites out in January so that people can get booked up and pay it off over a couple of months - how about you?have you done invites of STD's?

So far I have ordered my dress, FI knows what waistcoat/trousers he wants so it's a matter of ordering those. I hope to get my bridesmaid dresses this month (altho one of my bridesmaids is currently in australia!!)
Our wedding co-ordinator contacted us last week after I asked Claudia for further details on wedding locations so it feels like I can start getting things sorted which is soo excited. We've chosen the Tucan Gazebo for the wedding location and still contemplating evening details!!
How are your plans coming along? It feels like the year is going to go so fast and October will be here before we know it!

scorpio---nope, haven't ordered anything yet. i feel like its too early. i at least want to wait until i have a really good idea about how many guests im having.

 

kathryn...i feel like its going by toooo fast!

 

we are about to book our honeymoon and we had decided on Aventura spa but now im thinking it might be too similar to MP. any thoughts? where are yall going?

Hi Asbarret,
It's definately going too fast but on the other hand I'm soo excited for it I hope it comes round quickly!
We're going to the Bahamas after Mexico then back to sunny England for our AHR a few days after - I definately think it's a good idea to have a few days on your own with your new hubby after -you can relax then

Hi Kathryn - this site is definitely putting my butt into gear!! I sent out my STD's last OCT. I'm going to send out my invites in March so people can start booking.

I haven't been assigned a WC at MP yet!!! So I have no idea where I want to book things. I know I want to be married on the beach, but not sure about the private reception yet. I got my dress already and will gp looking for BM dresses in March or April.

One of my BM is in FL!!!

We plan on staying at MP for the week after our wedding! I didn't even think about going anywhere else! Hmmmmmmm
