Hey Amy,

 

Didn't you have the Zocalo Al Fresco for your reception?  That is where we are having ours. My questions to you...how did you decorate?  Did you bring decorations?  Was there something you wished you had brought or done?  Any help would be appreciated!!!  Thanks!

 

 

 

Yeah Kiara is gone... she was my coordinator and I agree, she was the absolute best! She emailed me a few weeks back and told me she was leaving. It was only a matter oof f time, they give these WC's an insane amount of brides to work with =/

 

I did, I brought white string lights, paper lanterns, lots of candles, 3 vase submerged orchid centerpieces with floating candles on top, cigar roller, guest book table, cake table, escort card table, manzanita branch decorated etc. I brought all of my decorations except the vases, which I rented. I loved all my decor

 

I'm going to be honest with you, the only thing about Zocallo al Fresco which may surprise is that there is absolutely NO breeze or fresh air that really comes in there. It's like a hot box and we were all sweating and very hot, that didn't stop us of course and I was dripping with sweat and didn't care because I was having a blast, just realize, that it get's extremely hot in that area.

Hi ladies!

 

I wanted to jump in and say hello, I miss you girls and think about you all the time still. Hope everyone's planning is going great and my old married ladies and doing amazing!

Love your stuff! Wow this is like a flashback, I used all these same exact Etsy vendors for my wedding (aside from the parasol) and even used lyrics in my clutch as well! You're going to love all these details on your big day

Thanks ladies!

If they kill off Eric there's going to be hell to pay! Is it seriously 2 weeks until the series finale?

Hi girls!

 

Remember me? Hahaha, man I've been sooo busy lately it's ridiculous. DH and I decided to up an move last week as well and we're moving in 2 weeks and working 12 hour plus days and he's gone in Nebraska for a business trip...  anyways enough about me!

 

What have I missed?! How's everyone's planning? I miss all you old married ladies and B2B's

Ok I need to catch up on the books, every time I jump in here something get's spoiled! I'm trying to catch up! So far the book seems to mirror Season 1 pretty closely.

LOL! Thank you so much! They were happy guests for sure

Ok I'm glad you brought this up because this threw me off... so it REALLY is Rene's baby and she's not crazy? I just wrote her off as crazy, haha!

 

AGREED, That Summer chick is SOOOO annoying!

The swimsuit was a gift to me at my bridal shower and it doesn't have a brand, it was purchased from a boutique here in Los Angeles.

My books arrived!!!!!!

Thank you Wendy, you're too sweet!

Please mind it is much to large in the top, and too long! But my seamstress will solve that in due time  (I am hoping the photos work...this will be my first attempt...and I am not good with computers) 

 

LOL, thanks goodness there is an edit button. I don't think I am getting the photos to work sigh...

 

Arrrggghhhh.....okay so I have a photobucket account. Uploaded the pictures...and now I am obviously lost. Any hints from anyone???

  Yippppeee!!! I finally got it right....try #way too many! LOL

Wow, I love your dress!!! Soooo pretty, the edges are all uneven right? It's going to be stunning in Mexico in the sun and oh so pretty!

I have a couple of questions that you may be able to help me with...

 

I booked my wedding 4 months ago through my local travel agent for June next year and have so far had no contact with the hotel or been told who will be my wedding planner is.  Can anyone tell me how long they waited to be sent any infomation regarding choices for the day? and how do I go about getting a wedding planner? does anyone have any names/numbers/email addresses for the hotel?

 

Any advice at this stage would be great as I would really like to start getting things organised and find out what choices i have for example flowers/colors/drinks/food etc

 

Thanks ladies xx

Welcome! I'd email your TA and ask them to have your assigned wedding coordinator contact you as you'd like to get the process going of choosing options etc. They should be able to do that.

Awww how cute!! Happy Birthday to your little man

 

 

 

I"m still trying to decide whether or not to get married before we get to Mexico... I'm not sure I want to do the blood test and everything once we're there. Any advice?  Are you glad you got legally married before?  Not sure what to do 

Thanks!

I'm the only one I've found on here that did the legal wedding AFTER the wedding, wedding in Mexico. I first of all, couldn't handle planning something else BEFORE my actual wedding, that would have been the final nail in my mental coffin so to speak

 

First and foremost - I found out about the blood test and was hands down not doing it. I am terrified of needles and avoid them at all costs.

 

Secondly - I didn't want any sort of "wedding/wedding-like experience" before my Mexico wedding. I consider my wedding in Mexico as real as a government approved and stamped piece of paper. I've never believed that I will only be married once the legal document has been filed and issued etc. My wedding in Mexico was my wedding and I was married then, my vows were said with every intention of keeping them regardless of legalities. I would always he D's wife regardless of our legal wedding and tried for a long time to talk him out of a legal wedding but he wouldn't have anything to do with that.

 

Third and final point - My vegas wedding was ALMOST better than my first. It was no emotion, no nerves, no panic, no tears, just sheer FUN!

 

So sorry to go off on the subject, just thought I'd give you my side as well so you can make the decision that works best for you. My Vegas wedding pix are all up on FB if you want to check them out.

Oh!! Well that's wonderful!!! You're just early, ok well October will be here before you know it!

We are definitely still trying to decide on legal vs symbolic ceremony too.  We are leaning more and more towards having legal ceremony here.  More because my FI is Canadian and the whole visa thing too, but it also just seems easier!!

 

Those of you who are Canadian, what are the big travel companies to use for all inclusive travel (similar to funjet, etc)??  We have a ton of people coming from Canada and although we have a TA set up for them to use, I always like to do some searching on my own!!

 

Lastly, we have been thinking about having an ongoing theme for our wedding, but are having a difficult time coming up with ideas.  We want things pretty formal and colors we are leaning towards are ivory, gold, and touches of raspberry/magenta.  I have seen how some people have had birds, seashells, starfish, etc and am interested in something like that, but maybe different.  We have considered orchids, but i have a feeling that is going to get very spendy very quick!!  Any ideas??  I know my question is very vague.....  Here are some inspiration boards below.  Leaning towards less raspberry.magenta than seen here, but you get the idea!!  Thanks!!

 

 

 

 

First of all, I don't know if I've met you before, my name is Amy!

 

I LOVE your color scheme and ideas. The gold and this fuschia/magenta deal is fantastic!

 

I like the idea of orchids but you're right, that could get pricey. Another girl on here had a fushia orchid theme and it was simiply stunning!

 

I don't know if this will make sense to you... but this was my first thought. I was thinking ok, you could pick a time period or taste that you like and have one of the colors be a focused theme but still keeping the other.

 

For example, say you love vintage... books, frames, trinkets etc. Doesn't all have to be the same thing, but it's all vintage & gold. OR Art Deco, or modern... so everything if it's modern is sleek and has clean lines and it could be different items (not just birds or starfish etc)

 

I'd have fuschia as your color... then I'd do the accent color in your theme or taste. Vintage gold picture frames as table numbers. Vintage gold trinket atop your cake... vintage looking placecards write in a gold metallic pen... gold chiavari chairs... gold jewlery for you and your girls, fushia dresses for them, fushia hair flower/feather/accessory etc.

 

Just a suggestion off the top of my head!

Awww, I know how that feels girl. Can it be replicated for you by a seamstress? I actualy found a dress that wasn't available except in Chicago and it would be hundreds to ship it out just to try it on and contacted someone about making the dress for me and it was far cheaper.

They look great! I think it's a wonderful idea and very unique

This is definitely good to know and be aware of... but just realize that doesn't mean they are going out of business or stopping flights. Filing bankruptcy doesn't necessarily mean the business has closed it's doors.

Woo hoo!!!! Congrats!

Haha, no worries! I asked so I was already treading on dangerous water

Ok good to know! Debbie was a fox? Like a shifter?

I shouldn't ask too many questions... my books are on the way and I'm sure things will be explained

This is definitely your calling. You already have a fan base/potential clients right here on the forum.

Thanks girl! I appreciate your compliments

Haha, man I have been hardly able to get on here anymore, feel out of the loop!

Great job!!!
