I hear you!!! When I knew Maggie would be my designer, I found those low priced dresses and got so excited too!! I had so many people say to me that it wouldn't be what I expected and that this is my wedding dress I was talking about going cheap on...I kind of decided they were right that it wasn't worth it. I am so crazy about my dress!!!!! :o) I'd like to see what they look like too!! You picked a GREAT dress -- It's so wierd that I thought the landis was THE dress for me for awhile, then I started getting the itch that I just felt like it was missing something for me (my style I mean)..I got back on maggies site and fell in love with Leoni and that was that! I called over a dozen salons until one store finally had to order in a 'rental' just to try it on!! I was determined, but it was well worth it! In my case, it was good that I went looking again...even though they say not to!

...and wow, people get bitter on this site!!!

Test Market was explained to me as the designer only puts out a couple dresses national wide to see how well they sell and if the designer will mass produce them. I am the only one in my state with this dress :) It's kinda cool to have one that unique.

I had a bad experience with the knock off. I originally wanted a Romona Keveza dress but after seeing the tag of 3k I thought going the knock off route would be good. The dress cost less than $300 but when I got it I didn't like it that much. After leaving it with my mom for two months I got it back and tried it on again and realized how much I hated it. I ended up shopping at the last minute for a dress and ended up with an Alfred Angelo that I loved much better...and the complete opposite of what I thought I wanted. For my body type I really needed to try on the dress to make sure it complimented me. Here's mine:

    • 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!
    • 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!
