We had a floral arch and pd around 650 for it. It was beautiful with the waves behind it. It added a lot of color.

I have been married for 25 years. For our vow renewal, I still had to save and plan out what I wanted. I went over what I wanted to spend, but fortunately, we had the extra money to spend. We paid everything for 6 people and then when we went to dinners we paid for 8 people. If we didn't have a budget, then we would have been in trouble. What I am getting at is, set a budget and stick to it as much as you can. Put away money every pay period that is just for the wedding. Research this site as much as possible. YOu will get so many ideas on ways to save money and do it yourself. I guess I got side tracked. I would try to save money before going into debt. You don't want to start your marriage in debt before you even get married.

I am so sorry that you were so stressed for your wedding. Your photos are gorgeous. I just loved your dress with the blue in it. You daughter is just absolutely beautiful.

I love how the first and last look on you but I voted on the first one. The color and style looks beautiful on you with your coloring.

I never get tired at looking at your ladies wedding pics!! Your slideshow is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I need to make a slide show of our vow renewal.

What a great review. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see some pics.

Hi and congrats on your upcoming wedding. You can use the search button at the top of the page and type in Paradisus Riviera Maya and you will get some links. Here is one that I found that I thought might be of some help: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t16099

I hope all of the Jamaican brides are safe and that they have a wonderful wedding. We are trying to get ready here in case Gustav decided to come to Galveston.

Here is a picture of the arch we had for our renewal ceremony.

In our ceremony, the girls wore teal dresses and I wore a coral dress and here are our flowers: I had all roses in yellow, white and coral. The girls flowers were all coral different types of flowers.

Alfred Angelo has dresses that come in coral. My dress was from there and it was coral.

What beautiful photos. You looked gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

I would go with #1. It looks amazing on you. I love all the detail work.

Hi Morgan, Yes, I have Windows. I have never heard of photostory. I will have to take a look at it. Thanks so much.

I am asking this of any BDW members and/or photographers, how do you do your slideshows? To any of the BDW members that have done your own, what programs have you used? Are they hard to make? Sorry for all of the questions. Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What great photos! I love the one where the 2 of you are walking along the beach and everything has that turqoise color. TFS.

What beautiful wedding photos!! The colors are just perfect. I love that the groom/groomsmen wore the orange ties, it really pops. Love the simplicity of the bouquets. They went perfect.

I really love how #4 looks on you. It looks like it was made for you. They are all beautiful, but I voted for #4.

I agree with the other ladies. Put it away for awhile and go look at some others. Ones you like or think you dislike. You may be surprised and go back to the one you already have. Just relax, and enjoy this time. You will know when you have the dress for you.

What a beautiful dress and that veil is drop dead gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.

I used Weddings in Paradise for my vow renewal and I had no problems with them at all. I know there are several ladies here that are using them also. I didn't have my ceremony at a hotel, I had it at a private beach in Pedregal. There are a lot of wedding coordinators that work from the hotels themselves.

I just love #2. It fits you well, you look happy in it and it is just drop dead GORGEOUS!! What color would the band/sash be?

What a great choice. It will really pop against the brown linens. Thanks for sharing.

Those are gorgeous colors together. I really wanted to go with the orange(coral), hot pink and the lime green, but didn't think DH would go for that so we went with coral/dark orange and then my bouquet also had yellow and white. Here is a pic of our flowers.
