It would be nice if we could still hook up with people on the beach even if they're at a different resort. Thanks, Liana Hi Liana..I am getting married at the Azul Fives. At first we were thinking to suggest other hotels for our guests to stay but then we were going to be paying an arm and a leg for day passes for the wedding for the guests who don't stay at our resort. How many people do you think will stay somewhere else??

I'm super excited because I just bought 6 centerpieces at a garage sale for cheap!!! Sorry the picture is so horrible. It's basically a candle holder with small vases surrounding it. Normally $20 each and I got all 6 for $40!!! Now I'm a little worried because I am getting married at a Karisma resort (SUPER STRICT RULES) The Azul Fives, and I don't know if they are strict about having the wedding party bring decorations,favors etc. Does anyone know If I can't keep them I will either sell them here or my sister in law is getting married right after me. Just thought I'd share my super buy!!

Where are you staying in Cancun..just wondering so that people can suggest a place that is closer. Buses are super cheap there..less than a dollar

I have looked high and low and can NOT find anywhere that sells this Kirstie Kelly Disney maidens Sleeping Beauty Dress style number KMSB 2846!! I came across this dress as I was googleing and I LOVE IT. I'm totally not a disney fan but after looking at their website they have the cutest bridesmaid dresses! On the website they list bridal shops that sell their dresses, and everyone I call does not have this one! So far all I want to know is the price and if it comes in other colors. Does anyone here know THANKS GIRLS!!

I would have your MOH walk down by herself and then the rest of the girls walk with the guys...that way you are making the made of honor stand out more...DONT WORRY! No matter what you decide it will look good so far for us we are having 7-8 girls on my side and 6 on his..OH WELL!

I think orange would look great against those dresses!!

I'm sorry that you are going through this, but like many of the girls here have said BE PROUD OF YOURSELF. You have stuck to your gut, and in the end it sounds like this will end up being what's best for the both of you. Take care of YOU right now. If you need help with anything..paypal selling stuff etc. even though I don't know you feel free to send me a pm. I don't think you will have much trouble selling your wedding stuff here, there are plenty of girls who will want to buy your things, myself included! Take care - Erica

I've never heard of this before!

If you look under my name you can see a thread I just posted about destination photographers..i think I have a list of like 25. Sorry I have no idea how to copy that post!!

I would just contact her on her website...that's what I did. She was very prompt at getting back to me. Every destination package she puts together is custom according to what you are looking for, location, etc. She requires a 30% deposit. She is a former destination bride too..she was just married in Costa Rica. So she has given me some great advice for planning. here is her website again... Morgan Lynn Photography Definitly check her out !!

Hi Kelly, I think all of us on this website have had times where we are overwhelmed! So don't feel alone. My advice is to talk to a Travel Agent (TA). Don't try to do all of this planning alone...you will go nuts!! The TA's will go over different resorts, ceremony locations,reception locations so you can get a feel for what you are looking for. If you look at the top of this page there is a little button that says the different TA's on this board..click that and fill out the form they are all very helpful!! Best of luck in your planning

Very cute!!

After a lot of research we FINALLY hired a photographer! I am so excited.!! Morgan Lynn will be joining us in Mexico to photograph our wedding. Check her out she is amazing!! Morgan Lynn Photography Since I have done my research, I thought I would make a list of destination wedding photographers that I have looked into. Each one of these photographers are extremely talented. I’m sure any one of them would do an excellent job of capturing your big day!!

OK so *UPDATE* I am beyond frustrated... Karisma has specific rules for bringing in outside photographers that are NOT Mexican citizens..here they are: • Non Mexican Citizen: Mexican working visa, FM2 or FM3, RFC, also a 3 nights hotel stay for vendor or $500.00 US outside vendor charge... SO now what?!! Does anyone know what FM3,RFC, or FM2 mean..or how to go about getting a Mexican working visa (sounds difficult to me)? Thanks girls!

Yamille I am so happy for you!!

Oh Becks you look great!!!

Hi Welcome to the forum. Getting married in Playa Del Carmen as well! Happy planning..you will find SO much info. on here!

Thanks I just sent them an email!

Hi Girls..So I am not an Azul Sensatori bride..but I am getting married next door at the Azul 5's and I was just curious as to what all of you plan to do regarding a photographer?? Just thought I would ask since we all have the $500 fee. I'm on the hunt for photographers and my fiancee and I are trying to keep it under $3,500. We were thinking of bringing a photographer with us from MN but now they have new requirements... Mexican citizen requires: RFC (Registro Federal de Contribuyentes), 3 nights hotel or $500.00 US plus • Non Mexican Citizen: Mexican working visa, FM2 or FM3, RFC, 3 nights hotel or $500.00 US So I spoke with a photographer here and they told me it can take up to 9 MONTHS to find out if they are approved for a visa (do any of you know if this is correct) and we can't wait that long to find out if they are/are not approved!! So what are all of you doing Sorry to vent..just a little stressed!

how terrible! only yesterday I was reading on msn that his conditions were improving.

very nice!! you worked hard!!

Happy Wedding day! Wishing you an amazing day!We are all waiting to hear details!!

Congratulations!! I hope you two have an amazing day!I Cant wait to see pictures!

welcome to the forum..this place will be a lifesaver for you!! there is a thread on the azul sensatori..so you will find a lot of info there. we are getting married at the resort right next to you in october. congrats and welcome to the forum!
