  1. eeks I'm sorry Allyson - same thing happened with a lot of our guests from LAX on Delta (who partnered with Mexicana) - our problem was they didn't inform anyone till a week before the wedding. I'm glad they let people know ahead of time for yours but it still sucks big time.
  2. Well, having been to both and having my wedding at Dreams, Grand Velas is a million times nicer. The problem is having your guests pay for Grand Velas. Their prices are very very expensive for rooms. We wanted people to be able to afford our wedding which is why we chose Dreams. If you want more people to come, I'd say Dreams and then honeymoon at Grand Velas. Good luck
  3. **bump** I'll sell it for $800 if anyone is interested. Let me know!
  4. aww thanks ...DD is in PV...do you mean Riviera Maya? I got them from etsy. Here is the seller, she was great and will make them in your colors!: http://www.etsy.com/shop/JloveS
  5. Hi Kimberly, if you include everything (favors, DJ, coordinator, transportation, dance floor, cake, food, decorations, etc. etc. etc) I'd say about $230 per person. I'm really guessing here though and that doesn't include the fireworks as I'm not sure how much those were since they were a surprise. Sealed with a Spice - not yet! We will be in the Fall issue of Destination I Do magazine. There is one picture of us and our wedding party in the June issue of Destination Weddings & Honeymoons magazine though.
  6. Hi all! I'm selling my Alvina Valenta wedding dress if anyone is interested. Purchased for $3000, selling for $900 OBO. I will throw in the floor length veil which I purchased new for $350. It matches the dress perfectly, it just has a small hole in it. The dress is Style 9612, Color Oyster (or off white). The dress is Size 10, or street size 6. I am 5'10 and the dress fit me perfectly with flats on. The only alterations done were in the bust to fit a 34C. This can be taken out again. Dress comes with detachable snap on train. The reason I'm selling it for such a good price is because it is dirty on the bottom of the dress and the dry cleaner could not get it out. To get rid of this entirely, you would have to hem the dress 1" or 2". Here are some pics - for more, view my siggy picture links: PM me with any questions!
  7. Congrats Lauren!!!! Karen, I'm not sure?? I saw couple of your photos on Fer's blog and can't wait to see the rest!!!
  8. yay Steph!!! soo happy for you have a fabulous day my dear
  9. Welcome Tyler!!! I'm going to recommend Stephanie Williams Photography because she was AMAZING!! Stephanie Williams - Photographer - Weddings, Portraits, Destination - Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Worldwide. Also guys/gals, we are going to be in a wedding magazine! Look for us in Destination I Do in the fall issue I used DD also Tyler, let me know if you have any questions
  10. I haven't stayed there but we did go visit because we stayed at Casa Velas for our honeymoon. The place is amazing. Any wedding or stay their would be fantastic.
  11. Don't count on upgrades girls as Aut said...Dreams is HORRIBLE about upgrades. They will probably randomly upgrade people but it is always in the same tower...and it is definitely really random. IMO Preferred tower is worth the extra price
  12. Karen - yay!! It is finally your time. I wish you all the best
  13. I'm so excited for all you May girls!!! Your time has finally come...enjoy it...it goes so fast
  14. We had no problems at all...I felt very safe and so did all our guests last November.
  15. We didn't pick the readings until the day before our wedding. I think Father Peterson leaves for the summer, but I'm not sure exactly when that is. Songs, we did Ave Maria, Canon in D, Bridal March....hmm I can't remember the rest! Good luck! I never met Father Esteban so I can't help you with that one.
  16. P.S Ours is a lot more than just travel costs now unfortunately though...MarieSam totally scored!! But she was worth every penny
  17. We flew ours in! Same photographer as MarieSam actually totally worth it. When we factored in the cost of a local photographer vs. flying one down it was not much more money. I recommend it if you find someone you love!
  18. you can get coverage in Mexico on your US cell phone for not much $...give your US phone company a call and see what they offer
  19. I debated this for a long time and finally chose the Church wedding. I felt it was really romantic and meant so much to be able to be married in the Catholic Church. Now I really had the best of both worlds though, because we had the reception after on the beach. This was great for us and we really got to do both.
  20. Natalie, check my siggy there are pics there Crystal, email Kristin...it all depends on how many people and your [email protected]
