  1. Hi All, I have sold all of the ones I hope to! I purchased the flowers from Bitter Sweet Wedding Designs - Home and put them together myself. She was great to deal with, and if she still sells them, I would highly recommend her. FYI, these were fleuramatique, and not real touch. I saw both and like the fleuramatique much more!
  2. These are still available. I won't sell the bridal bouquet just by itself, but would sell the BM bouquets by themselves

We had 3 lessons, and thought we got a terrific deal, I know the normal price is about $500 for 3 lessons, video practice tapes etc. Worth every penny (and we saved everywhere we could, and this was 100% worth it!)

Doesn't help that my fiance hasn't even picked what him and the GM are going to wear yet.. but any advice? Do you guys have pics of what your dad's wore?? I don't think he needs to match the boys, but I would like to tell him something he can wear... he's a rookie traveller too so all this seems to stress him out a bit... eek and my fiance has already told me he's not being fancy with a suit or anything so my dad shouldn't either! Any advice girls Help!! lol Tracy, I can't help with the marriage certificate stuff, since we took the easy way and made it legal before hand... plus i didn't change my name to make it even easier! But my dad wore khakis, sandals (I bought them for him so they would not be too strappy or ugly!), an off white shirt with some white palms embroidered on it (it was totally him)... and then he showed up to my room with a hat on, and asked if I wanted him to wear the hat or not... I hadn't thought of putting a hat on him, but he looked great, and it was him. He isn't a fancy person, and everyone LOVED what he wore....

Thanks My photographers still have some pics of my wedding on their site... MEXICO Destination Wedding Photography, Wedding Photojournalism throughout the Mayan Riviera just click on galleries, and there is one for EDSS on it which is mine. I have lots of pics i can share too, just PM me your email and I will send you some. Honestly it is a STUNNING place for a wedding!

Haven't heard from you ladies in a while! Question... what did you guys carry your rings in at the ceremony before you exchanged them? Did you have ring bearers? If not any suggestions would be helpful at this point.. trying to come up with maybe a shell that closes with sand in it to hold the rings? What do you guys think No ring bearer since there are no kids allowed :-) Our Best Man had the rings in a box in his back pocket. One of my fav. pics is of this! No one would have noticed if it was in something special... worked for us! Congrats, 3 months will fly by!
  9. Tracey, I went knowing that they likely would throw in the chair covers and gold bows for free... i never asked about it, never talked about wanting it, and voila they were still there on the wedding day. Only thing is that i was prepared to be ok with the uncovered chairs if that was what was to happen. So if you could not tolerate uncovered chairs, you should probably just pay, but from the sounds of it they automatically put the covers on for everyone. Worked out for me!
  10. Hey Tracey, We also rented the ipod speakers and they were AMAZING! So loud and perfect. Worth the money, even though I didn't think so beforehand. WE paid extra to keep our reception going later. Arrange this when you are down there, they will cut you a MUCH better deal than the Lomas reps will. I think we paid $3/pp/hour. If you are doing the private reception, you will have way more staff helping you than you can imagine. Plan to tip, plan to tip alot. Figure you have at least 20staff helping you... so What is the minimum you would want each of them to have. I wasn't expecting this and we were at the end of our trip, and i felt like I didn't give them what they deserved because I didn't have any more cash!!! The onsite staff are so terrific, you can't even comprehend how terrific until you get there. Oh and I had my makeup done there and it was done well... I changed a few things afterwards, but she did a good job. I would prob. just do it myself if i had been more organized.
  11. I didn't know there would be water bottles, didn't ask and didn't pay for them.... But they were there in a pretty basket for all our guests! The ladies at the resort are amazing, do not work out those details before you get there, they will probably just do the little extras for free! Don't pay to have your guests put anything out, we didn't! Seriously, don't commit to paying for anything other than the bare essentials before you get there, you will regret it!
  12. Time will fly!!! We did the dinner on the beach, but I have to say, we wish we had skipped it. We had the coldest night, and it took 3 hours just to get our starter and main... So I was shivering and we left by dessert. We also didn't get a chance to try all the restaurants and would gave rather just gone to one.., mostly we wanted to see our friends which was weird! I would go for the early sitting rather than the late one so that it is not midnight when you finish! I don't remember what we ate, but the food was really good and the servers were so nice.... Sorry, can't be of much help other than to say give yourself lots if time!!!
  13. I used MTM for my wedding at El Dorado Seaside, and they were AMAZING!
  14. I love that WTOO Dress, if they had that when i was looking I would have gone for it 100%. My dress was quite similar Moonlight Tango Destinations Wedding Dresses - Style I-242 [i242] - $370.00 : Wedding Dresses, Bridesmaid Dresses, and Designer Wedding Dresses and i LOVED it, something about a v-neck, rouching, and an embellishment to make a dress gorgeous! If you try on the WTOO try to sneak some pics!
  15. Hi All, Well it has been over a month since my wedding, and though I love my bouquets, it is time to say goodbye! These are made with fleuramatique callas which I purchased from bittersweet wedding designs. I searched forever for callas that would look real, real-real, and these are them. 1 Bridal Bouquet: 10 callas 6 BM Bouquets: 3 callas They are all wrapped with ivory satin ribbon, they are in TERRIFIC condition, they look like the day they arrived in fact. I used the BM bouquets as my centerpieces, in a tall hurricane vase with sand in the bottom, and they looked great. People only knew they were fake because I told them that they were. In fact, someone was at my house recently who was shocked that the flowers from my wedding were still alive!!! Duh, of course they wouldn't be! Sorry I am not much of a photographer, they look even better in person! Anyways, i am selling them for $160 CAD + shipping. If you do not want all of the BM bouquets I will sell a minimum of 4 of them and deduct $15 each for up to 2. Financially it would be easier to sell these to a fellow Canadian :-) I will post when they are sold.
  16. I bought flowers from her and made my own bouquets. I can vouch for the quality of the flowers. I had callas and they looked 100% real! She is also super grear to work with, I would definitely recommend her!
  17. Ok, I was exactly the same. I hate my hair up, have very long hair, and wanted to wear mine down. So I did, and I do not regret it at all. We arranged the ceremony so the wind would be blowing my hair behind me (MAKE SURE YOU DO THIS!). My hair was in my face alot, but you just have to position yourself right. My only regret was that i should have pinned my bangs back. Had I done that it would have been no problem at all. Oh and i had a headband in, so that may have helped some too. Either way, no matter about some stray hairs, i do not regret for 1 second wearing my hair down. I was happy and it felt beachy!
  18. What if.... and i hope this isn't too crazy... you got legally married right before heading down?My hubby and I did this, we called it our paperwork wedding, and the majority of the guests had no idea. It felt so sterile, and our wedding was so fantastic, it didn't matter in the end that we were technically married... If you did this you could just fly down with your guests, not worry about blood tests etc. and no one would even know. Plus you don't have to worry about translating your documents or anything... Not ideal, but could solve your problem so you could still book a package! Good luck!

She got it from a woman in Cozumel, I am not sure that will help you out much though, if i get more info I will post it here!

The flowers doubled as centerpieces, and everyone RAVED about how beautiful my flowers were and the fact that they didn't die. People only knew they were fake when i told them and then didn't believe me! I have them in my living room right now, and yesterday a friend came over and was like "oh my god, these are still alive from your wedding?" it was hilarious, she didn't know they were fake. Anyways, i am planning on selling them one of these days, just gotta get my act together!
  21. El Dorado Seaside offered us a Sunday Symbolic Wedding... So probably all the Karisma resorts are options then...
  22. Oh jeez, I LOVE BABY DONKEYS!!! Seriously, donkeys and beavers have the cutest little babies... I hope you give Hamish a big cuddle for those of us on BDW!
  23. Good luck ladies, i am so gutted for all of you. I hope that alternate arrangements are easy to come by
