My dress as well as my bridesmaids dresses came in and I was able to preview them both. My wedding dress I totally love, I didn't even want to take it off. ' alt='a>'> My bridesmaids dresses I had some issues with. The dresses were not all cut from the same dye lot. So one of the 4 dresses is a little darker then the rest. Its noticable but not so noticable, that I wanted to send them all back and risk not recieving the dresses in time. ' alt='a>'> Here's their dress one of my bridesmaids is modeling. I also had my first hair trial ( im not really crazy about the hair) Just wanted to share my updates hope the photos posted correctly!

My coordinator is saying its not required but a room deposit is per the new person at EPM but I am almost positive it saw a deposit for the wedding on the website. Thanks for the help! Nope Traci, I didnt pay a deposit I just had to send them my trip confirmation number from my TA. They then send you as confermation sheet with all your wedding details from EPM.

Jennifer, I really hadn't thought about finding my own centerpiece. I was just going to go with one of theirs. But now thats something else for me to think about. I already found a bouquet I love so I will def. take that picture with me.

The dress you brought is very pretty, I would suggest putting everything together first buy a veil. Even if its a wilton one from AC Moore or Micheals. And try it on again. If your still not satified. Begin hunting again. Davids Bridal has many options so you should be able to find exactly what your looking for, and not loose the money you have already put out. I really hopes everything works out so that you will be happy and feel beautiful as you walk down the aisle. Lauren

Wow, you only have one month to go. I seemed like last month we were just talking about you changing your event location to Excellence and now your just weeks away. Try not to make yourself to crazy, Mesita. Lauren QUOTE=Sensatori Bride;756018]Hi Ladies, I am getting married at 2pm...I wanted to do it later but there is another wedding that day. I am hoping its not too hot or that girl decides to change her time! Traci, if you go back a few pages there is a review and pictures of a gazebo wedding. Mesita

I'm printing out that email and taking it with me in case I have any issues! Lauren, Yamina is pretty responsive. Maybe it's because my wedding is getting pretty close. You have any questions you want me to ask? Mesita Intresting, when I asked what time my guest could arrive I was told they could arrive an hour prior to the wedding. What time are you getting married Mesita? Anyway, I got the answer to my question via my travel agent. I just got tired of rephrasing the question so I asked her to find out for me, which she sucessfully did.

Thanks for posting this I'll be sure to check it out!

Everything looks fantastic, I love the detail on your dress.

After having such a pleasant sight visit and raving about how wonderful the planning experience with excellence. I’m just so frustrated with going back and forth with my questions and the new planner. I’m just tired and frustrated. I’m now just going to have my travel agent deal with the hotel directly because I can’t seem to get my questions answered. Sorry Ladies, just venting. But I keep going back and forth with this new planner. I know there is nothing I can do about it but I miss Nayeli, I had a lot more confidence in her. Especially, she was the one who I interviewed in the very beginning who gained my trust and faith.

They're both lovely but I like #1 the best.

Welcome to the Forum, you should be able to plan a great DW using this as a resource.

They would be able to arrive just prior to the wedding- about 15-20 minutes. Hope that helped! Thank you so much for responding. I was getting quite frustrated trying to re-phrase the question over and over. Lauren

I have a few basic questions on the blog and Excellence: Lauren where did you get the logo that has your name on it and the resort..I love it! Also is anyone getting married in the gazebo? If so do you know if there are there options for different chairs other than those in the pictures? Also for this blog where do you get the wedding date tickers and how do you add them, I also tried to add a picture of my fiancé and me but it didn't show up any advice? Welcome to the Forum Traci, I actually got my monogram made by Sprollie Designs, Her name is Sara and she does great work. You can find her banner to the right of your screen she should be the third adverstisement. I actually had 5 made by her. I am getting married in their gazebo but am unaware if there are other chair options. Lastly, the wedding tickers. If you see one you like on someone elses page, click on it and it should link you to the website where you can create your own. Then copy the address after its made and add it to your signature. Hope this helps. Lauren

Ok, thats how I feel. I emailed Excellence last week and recieved a response to my question on Wed from the new planner Yasmina. My question specifically was what time can my guest arrive for our 6pm wedding using a wedding pass. The new wedding planner emailed me back the current prices for guest passes, without an answer to my question. Nayeli did a great job I know the prices. I just wanted to know what time my guest could arrive with the Wedding pass. So I decided to try my question again- asking if the wedding starts at 6pm what time can the guest begin to arrive. She again emailed me back the price list for the day pass, the half day pass, and the wedding pass but no times. So I have emailed her the question again stating that I know the prices. OMG how dense is she. I just wanted a simple answer to my question. And I dont think its that complexed of a question but I truly dont think she should be so dense.

Hello Ladies, Hope all is well with everyone in the wonderful world of wedding planning. I too booked an outside DJ and put a deposit down for Disco Movil. Although I hadn't heard many reviews about him. When I looked back at some of my paper work from all of my Cancun site visit. He's the perfered DJ for Marriott Cancun both the JW and the Casa Magna. So I went with it. Hopefully he will not disappoint. Also I just recieved an email from the new planner which includes photo's of possible table centerpieces. I figured I would just add a link below just incase you wanted to look. Hope all is well with everyone. And I think of the group Mesita your next. So hope your not making yourself too crazy.

Everything was very cute, looks like you had alot of fun!

Everything look so lovely!

My sentiments exactly!

This letter wording was helpful thanks for adding it.

Def. the orange!

Unfortunatly, ladies I priced out shipping something UPS and Fedex to Mexico from NJ and its and upwards of $230.00. I was so excited when I saw Jen's post but 200.00 is quite a bit of money. I will probably just pack a few extra suitcases.

Thanks for posting this will be very helpful!

I'm getting married July 15, 2009 and I just mailed out my invites Monday. I wanted people to have time to plan and prepare.

Although I told her to check the bag, she forgot & tried to take it as a carry on. Well ofcourse when she went thru security, they noticed the knife, stopped her & made her unpack the bag. When they asked her why she was trying to get on the plane with a knife set, she was surprised it was even there & really had no explanation other than she forgot!!! So, just words to the wise, make sure its in your checked luggage! Thanks for the info I will def. be sure to pack it in my checked luggage. I acutally purchased the cake knife that corresponds with my china pattern so it will have dual purposes.
