I think you've already decided but I definitely like #2 the best.

Beautiful dress but I agree....the bows gotta go!

Sounds like fun! I'm in as long as the address thing gets cleared up

They came out really cute and I LOVE your color combo!

BTW, claudia still has not gotten back to me about my wire transfer. I called today to make sure it wasn't returned and it wasn't, I emailed her 3 times regarding it, she finally responded to the last one saying she was still waiting on the accounting department, oh and this was a week ago now. Needless to say, I'm very annoyed with claudia right now and that will be reflected in her tip, if I give her anything at this point. When I first told her I sent the wire transfer, she said I haven't received it yet, please send again, WHAT??!!! Does she have any idea how a wire transfer works!!!? Once they take my money I can't just send it again, my money is gone! I'm really really am at my wits end with her, its just ridiculous that I haven't gotten an answer from her yet and I leave next week. You shoulda had Susan kick her butt into shape while she was down there! All kidding aside I really hope everything works out. Maybe once she gets past Susan's large wedding she will give you the attention you totally deserve. It's not right to be this frustrated so close to your big day and she better not up the price on you for the 4 hour dinner! I'm pretty sure the 3 hour slot is supposed to include dinner.

Maybe it has to do with the size of the party? She has about 90 people so maybe they allocated more time since dinner will take twice as long to pass out or twice as long to get everyone through the buffet? She'll have to confirm when she gets back.

They gave me a 3 hour slot for the reception, so we have thought about adding an hour then going somewhere else. Trust me I'm well aware and a little bummed by it but we are going to suck it up and just pay for an extra hour anyway. Thanks for the reminder though

I am definitely interested in your feedback! So let me get this straight, the DJ would be an additional 2-3 hours above and beyond the 3 hours that you hire the band for? That doesn't seem like a bad deal at all! Tks!

I'm going to have to file that pic away and see if my resort can do something like that. The coral looks awesome with all those other bright colors. What's a girl to do?? Guess I'll concentrate on finding the dresses first and then go from there. What manufacturer makes the dresses you ordered? My one bridesmaid really likes this dress but we're going shopping on the 27th to see what's out there. Dress Style 438

Thanks for all the ideas everyone! I'm feeling much better about going with this color now. I was afraid that I'd have to do everything coral because I wasn't sure what else would look good. I think I'm leaning towards Coral, Chocolate and accents of either teal or sage. I saw this really pretty ribbon at Michaels that was coral, chocolate and sage last night and it looked really, really pretty.

Has anyone else decided to use coral as their main color? I'm leaning towards this but having a difficult time coming up with what other complimentary colors to use. I'm thinking chocolate brown but not 100% sure. Was just wondering if you guys had any ideas. Thanks!

I was just going to suggest the same thing! We're getting married at Dreams in August. Definitely check them out.

Have a great wedding! Fingers crossed for great weather...

By the way, I also booked Citlalli for photos and Miguel for videos. I am using a DJ too. I don't think we have a choice of who we can use though. I'm pretty sure we have to use the DJ that the resort uses for all of their weddings. I believe the name of the company is PSAV Presentation Services Cancun Mexico. I've pasted their URL below however the site is only in Spanish. I'm really hoping that Susan has only good things to report about them when she gets back since it seems we don't really have a choice. :: PSAV & AVHQ ::

Trisha these came out awesome! I love the colors you used. Your stamp story had me laughing out loud. That's something that would happen to me too.

Welcome!! You've come to the right place! Everyone on here has so much knowledge to share. I'm a Cancun bride as well. Do you know what resort you will be getting married at yet?

We are doing the same exact thing!

Congratulations Leigh! Can't wait to hear all about it

Tables will be white, possibly with a chocolate runner. The chairs will also be covered in white with a chocolate bow. There are menu cards (which reminds me...I forgot to take a pic of those) that match the invites and the rest of the starfish theme. I have two different centerpieces. I'll try to post some pics in a little bit. Did you buy the font or download it for free? I love it and can't seem to find it anywhere for free. Figured you could point me in the right direction if you had found it. Tks!

Thanks Mo! This is just the inspiration I need to get started on my Cancun booklet. I planned to do the same thing as you...only send to confirmed guests. We're going to include luggage tags as well when we send them out. I need to get my butt in gear now with putting it together because I'm a bit of a procrastinator myself! Thanks for sharing with us )

I'm getting married there too but not till August 7th. I'm also choosing the Ultimate package and having the reception on the beach. I am getting the DJ however I do think its kind of pricey. One of our brides, Susan, is getting married there next week and is using the DJ service as well. I'm hoping she has nothing but good things to say about them. You'll find tons of info on this site for your resort. Have fun planning!

Have a great trip Leigh!! All the best wishes for an unbelievable wedding. Take lots of pictures!!

Everything came out beautifully! Your guests are going to be very impressed when they see all the work that you did. I can't wait to see the pictures when you get back. Hope you had a great shower and got lots of great gifts!

I haven't been married yet but we are using Michael Maurus as our photographer. The package we are going for comes in right under $2000 I believe but that is for 5 hours which seems like more than what you are looking for. I believe he travels to Tulum too (we are getting married in Cancun). Check out his link and PM me if you'd like the pricing info. Good luck! http://cancun-wedding-photography.com/

You look awesome. Good job!
