I'm in Lisle, That's too funny!!

I'm not sure where you got your dress, but if you need alterations, I just found a great seamstress. She's all the way in Schiller Park (by O'Hare) but she has rave reviews on the knot and all the wedding sites and her prices are great (much better than the bridal salons). Her name is Mary Catomy. If you want her contact info let me know!

She said anywhere from 50-400 depending on the complexity. I need a ton of alterations since it's a sample & the previous seamstress told me it would START at 350!

yeah..Alternation can cause an arm and a leg. My friend who bought a sample La Sposa dress for $1000, instead of $1700 plus taxes.

The bridal shop told her that if she wants to change to a lace up back, it will be $100-$200, to add 3 buttons so that she can lift the train for dancing, it will be $20 per button, make it shorter by 1 inch ($200). Ka$hing..Ka$hing...

Hey conosur....

To cut a long story short we have ALWAYS wanted to go to Mexico for a holiday but have never quite been able to afford it, and from day one we had always said we wanted to get married abroad, So when it came to choosing a destination there was no competition really.... part way through deciding we did look at other countries (Jamaica, Aruba) which were cheaper than Mexico but as its a once in a life time thing (hopefully,lol) we just thought why not, lets just go where we want to go, not opt for 2 best :-) And there you have it :-)

So Mexico here we come pinkie.gif smile29.gif pinkie.gif so excited... xox

What about you? What made you choose Cartagena? So how is married life treating you :-)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
