Welcome! Let us know how we can help.

I would place rose petals sporadically on the table closest to the fruit centerpices, and I would do small tea lights surrounding it as well. And I couldn't really tell by the pics but maybe you could include one big candle along with the fruit? I don't know if that would work or not. If it doesn't then I would do rose petals in a color matching one of the main fruits with a couple of tea lights around the fruit centerpiece.

I stayed at a resort in RM in January and for the life of me I can't remember the name. I do remember it was an AI and I stayed for 3 to 4 nights and what I believe was 4 to 5 days. I went through apple vacation and I got the deal for $860 a person. The food was great, the rooms were so cute, and the place was so nice. Since I went with my friend I will see if she remembers the name of the place.

Hi and welcome to the forum! Let us know how we can help.

Sarah...amazing...nuff said.

Jill- No Prob. I would hate for you to ruin a dress that you got such a good deal on. Not that you would necessarily ruin it, but you know what I mean. Natalie-Those dresses are so nice. And I love the brooch idea. Are you doing red? I love red it is so pretty.

I like number 1. But honestly they are both great so whichever one you end up choosing will look amazing.

Dying a dress is very risque I wouldn't recommend it. I have years of experience from dance school with spray painting shoes and dying dresses but it's actually complicated and sometimes it doesn't look the way you want. I would leave the dress as is and then do the bright pink flowers. It will look adorable. Plus light pink is such a sweet color for a little girl. I think it will look beautiful.

Lizzy what about renting a private villa? I can't recall off the top of my head how many guests you are expecting but it might be more cost effective to rent a private villa and have your guest stay there.

Sarah I agree the dress does wonders for you. Excellent choice! You look so good in it and it is such a pretty dress. Perfect for Mexico.

Thank you Tasha I will def check it out.

$60 an invite? That is crazy! I have never heard of such a thing! I could see maybe in the 20's but 60? Well so much for that idea! LOL.

Thank you everyone for your help. And no Anny I have not choosen my colors yet I am just trying to get ideas for centerpieces.

Thanks for posting Anny!

I know I am late on this but that is insane! I don't care if it is a diamond encrusted veil. No way am I paying $600 for a veil. That is crazy. This is an item that I think people should resell so that everyone benefits from it. It is crazy to pay so much!!!!! Def see if you can have it made or try to get it cheaper at another place. Also I know you probably won't want to wait but I know that in Mexico (especially places like PV) they sell veils for much cheaper and they make them beautifully. You should look into that.

Tammy I am late to this but I am obsessed with nails so I will put my two cents in. All my life I have bitten my nails to the disgusting point of bleeding. I have also ripped my cuticles to shred. Add that on to the fact that I have extremely dry skin and you can imagine how heinous my hands looked. No matter what I did I could not stop biting my nails and picking at my cuticles. I have done tips (with the glue) and tips with the acryllic. And I have also gotten wraps. I personally do not recommend doing any of these b/c even though you will have long nails (even if they are fake) they are destroying your real nail and actually making it weaker. Not to mention that the upkeep on acryllic or the powder and glue is very costly. What I do recommend doing is this. Go get a manicure immediately. Yes it feels awful to sit in the chair when you don't like your nails but I swear these people see messed up nails all the time so they won't care. Even if you nails are short and your cuticles don't look good just have them give you a mani. I would not recommend getting a mani every two weeks I would tell you to get one every week! I know that sounds extreme but after 4 to 5 days the polish will start to chip and you are more likely to start playing with your nails, biting them, or peeling the polish. If you have them done nicely all the time then you are less likely to touch them. Also ask for Nailtiques (sp?) they make nails grow thicker. My nails were brittle and weak from all the years of biting them. I never took any supplement or anything like that just got them done every week. I no longer bite them, nor do I pick at my cuticles anymore. Everyone always tells me how nice my nails are which is shocking b/c they were atrocious before. I promise you if you do this, your nails will start to grow so fast and they will grow stronger. Also I don't know what your personal preference is but I swear to you that short nails are very "in" right now. I do not keep my long I actually love them short. (If you look at all the stars their nails are always short). So don't feel bad if they don't grow ridiculoulsy long. I promise you that if you get one every week you will see improvement after the 2nd mani.

Christa that dress looks amazing on you! Christine I love the two dresses you got especially the blue one. Natalie that coat hanger people call a model looks emaciated. I am sure you are going to look much better in it. LOL.

El Arco- The Arch Cerveza- Beer Boda- Wedding Cielo- Sky Noche-Night Estrellas-Stars Luna-Moon Can't think of anymore off the top of my head but when I do I'll post them for you.

Thanks for your review Amber. It sounds like you had a great time. Have you made a decision?

Anny why do you always post pretty things that I am going to want later? LOL. Do you know how much those SDT's cost? Or the passport of love invite. That is so pretty. I want those both!!

Welcome! Let us know how we can help you plan your wedding.

Jessalyn is RK bridal in Brooklyn by any chance? B/c if it is then I know a ton of brides who have purchased from them and had only great things to say about them. If it's the one I'm thinking of then Sara I would totally order through them.

I don't think it's so awful if you have to wait until June. I know that will probably drive you crazy but it's not like you won't get the date you want as long as you book it in June. I personally like the Grand Palladium the best just based on the pics in Trip Advisor. But it seems like everyone else likes the Barcelo Maya so maybe everyone else knows something that I don't. What are your pros and cons for each one?

I agree with Tammy go for #2! It is so nice and it is the one you really want. This is your wedding day, you should feel special!

Margaret have you narrowed it down to some choices?
