Hi Ladies, I have a brand new maggie for sale if anyone is interested in taking a peek! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...o-dress-57316/

Hi Ladies, the dress is still available! xo

I just wanted to add in that the dress I am selling is BRAND NEW...the dress in the pictures is the exact same dress but not the one you will received. I had 2 identical dresses.

Hi Brides to be! I have a brand new Maggie Sottero Dress for sale. Due to an issue with the sizing on my original dress (they told me it could be let out...and it couldn't once it arrived) my amazing mom and sister bought a second dress in my size so that I could wear my dream dress on my wedding day. Once the Swine Flu hit my wedding was pushed back 2 months and I was able to fit into my original dress! What a lucky bride...2 dresses! So here are a few shots of the dress. My mom paid $1200.00 for it off the rack, we are asking $875CAD plus shipping or pick up. I am located in Newcastle or Oshawa, Ontario. A few shots so you can get an idea of the train Stats on the dress Diamond White with Pewter and crystal detail Size 16 Standard length (this dress is unaltered but I was able to have mine shortened) Corset Back with modesty pannel The dress was light enough for me to wear on the beach in Mexico in July! Here is a link from maggie's site for the dress so you can see proper model shots Diana - by Maggie Sottero and the site's description of the dress One-piece, strapless, slim A-line gown with corset back. Fluid Vienna Organza asymmetrically accents the waist and creates a pleated cutaway design on the skirt. Embroidered lace accents the bodice, ornaments the waist and creates the hem of the gown and chapel length train. Please feel free to DM or email me with questions salesATthesweetsheep.com Thank you! Michelle

ETA: Sale is pending..thank you all for your interest!

Adriana Hi Adriana, I had the civil ceremony in the morning at the gazebo and the "non denominational" ceremony on the beach in the evening. The Civil was mostly vows and the jp speaking of marriage and the ND was a few readings and vows and then our own vows, it was very nice. I also had the hands poem read during our ceremony. You can play around with the ceremony more for the ND. Hope that helps! Michelle

The do several weddings a day. However if you are lucky like we were you will meet the other couples at tradewinds for a night of tequila! I even had pics taken of the other bride and I who finished our ceremony at the same time and happened to meet up at the pool! There were only 4 other weddings that week and 3 of them were on the same day as us...but I loved meeting the other brides!

I wore this dress for my TTD session and LOVED it so much! It is perfect for your TTD or even ceremony. The dress is a size 14, but I found it fit more like a 12. I was a 14 at the time of the wedding and it was snug...but looked great (in my humble opinion The dress is organza with little embroidered flowers on the bodice and hem and has a little train in the back with a button up faux corset in the back...it zips. I did wear the dress in the ocean, but you can't tell...it's clean! I am asking $40 for the dress plus actual shipping from Ontario Canada. The Dress designer is Venus. You can see more pics of the TTD session at the end of our wedding slideshow below!

Hi Stephanie, I was married right in front of the pool. I picked that spot because they were supposed to set up by the pier for my reception (it rained and I had to have it in the ballroom) It was a beautiful spot, but there were people around...however the pier area is fairly busy as well since it is by the street and there are a lot of people coming and going from there. Honestly I barely even noticed the people around when we were getting married...but as you can tell from my photos they were there. Check out the slide show if you want to see what the pics will look like at the spot in front of the pool!~

Thanks so much. The veil was AWESOME...I just loved it. I wore it most of the night because I couldn't bear to take it off. We really had a lot of fun with our photography...we are pretty carefree and I think he captured it really well...it was a blast

ha ha, I really was so happy! Things really didn't go smoothly, but I didn't care...I was having too much fun!

I don't have prices for life images, but they shot my wedding at the royal and were amazing. It would be best to contact them. They LOVED the royal and mexico and would be thrilled to go back!

Thanks so much Ladies. I can't stop watching it!

Chris and I were married on the beach on July 8th 2009 at The Royal in Playa Del Carmen. It was an amazing day and TTD session the next day. We just got our slideshow from our photographers lifeimages.ca and I couldn't be happier!! They are amazing..I have watched the show at least 30 times and just can't get enough! Everyone says "it's the best day of your life" and it really was..actually the best week of my life! michelle & chris

Thanks everyone! It was so much fun. I really think the TTD session is a must..the royal and downtown have so many great spots! Tutti- if you are a size 12-14 we can work something out...that dress was perfect and is still in good shape for another TTD!

Hey Stephanie-Yes I did fly them down. I was very lucky and knew them before hand and even if I hadn't they were my #1 choice as I LOVE their style. Incredible people to work with. I would recommend them to anyone! The TTD was SO MUCH FUN...you would never be able to tell it was a $40 dress!

Just wanted to pop in and say our slideshow is up!! michelle & chris

Quick question: I noticed that your wedding date was this July. I am thinking of our wedding for July or August 2010 because we're both teachers and have summers off. What was the weather like in July? Does this area of Mexico have a hurricane/rainy season that you have to worry about? Was it really hot? Should the time of the month effect my decision for a date? Thanks so much for your help! Yes it was hot...I enjoyed it, but a few of my larger guests had a problem with the heat. As you can tell my original date was May for that reason..but..well the swine flu happened and then I pushed it back to july as my mom and sister are teachers too. I heard that June was the rainy season so I probably wouldn't book then. With this all said...it was not unbearably hot...I enjoyed the heat. The pool was great to lounge in and everything around is air conditioned!

Thank you! I had amazing ringlets in my hair that TOTALLY FELL OUT because of the heat...cest la vie...no one but myself and my sister knew the difference!

I am a heels girl Ack! I was married on the beach and I think you will kill yourself in heels! The walkway to the beach has wood slats with sand in between...lemmie see if I can find a pic. I think it would be killer to try to go down this with heels on. There are two wedding sites on the beach...but every entrance to the beach has these slats. Plus manovering the sand in heels would be difficult. Just my opinion from my experience!

Thank you! It was such a fun week. I did welcome bags, but I gave them out at out welcome dinner in the buffet. My original plan was to have them in the room...but plans do not always happen once you get there and everything is so busy! Everyone loved them...honestly people were just so happy to be there, the resort will make you look good!
