I was under the impression that the only places where dress codes are in effect are for the restaurants for dinner.

I'll try to take another picture from a different angle. I do appreciate the honesty and I know they aren't horrible but the fact that she told me they were floramatique when they aren't is what really has me upset. I sent the picture of my bouquet to the wholesaler for Ontario and they said they don't have that in stock and that it looks like a knock off.

Thanks Raykel, We don't have that store but I did find another vendor who sent me the real floramatique pictures who offered to fix my bouquet for the cost of the new flowers only. I'm just hoping I can get some of my money back so that I can put it towards something new.

Do you only have a problem with the BM bouquets or do you not like any of the flowers? I have boutonierres and corsages from her that I don't like either but I told her I would let those go if I could at least get my money back on the bridesmaid bouquets. Here is a picture of the bout.

I feel bad writing a negative review about this florist but I thought other brides should be weary of ordering from this vendor. My wedding is just over three months away, my flowers are crap and surprise surprise Treasured Moments won't refund me or even respond to my emails now... I really wanted green fuji mums for my bridesmaids bouquets and ordered them from Treasured Moments (in Ontario) for what I thought was a pretty good price - ladies beware! If it's inexpensive it may not be the real thing. My first clue should have come when she wouldn't send me pictures of what the mums looked like. But I decided to trust her - she is a florist after all - and go with it. What I got were foam flowers that she told me via email were floramatique. After being on this forum I saw another brides bouquet with real floramatique fuji mums and realized I had been dupped. I've sent her pictures of real floramatique fuji mums from other vendors to show her that what she sent me is obviously not the same thing and now she is not responding. Hopefully she'll respond soon...(fingers crossed) I'll try to post pictures soon. Sorry for the vent - I just hope no one else has to go through this.

I still haven't gotten a response to my PM I'm looking for 4 necklaces to Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Thank you for the review and congratulations on your wedding! Hope we get to see some pics soon!!

I only need four necklaces. PM'ing you right now!

Has anyone ordered like 8 or more suits? Did you get a discount on shipping for ordering more?

I haven't received any time out errors lately but I do have a problem accessing the latest post in one of my subscribed threads "$99 linen suit." It tells me there has been a new post but when I look at the thread it takes me to page 28 instead of the last page - 29. I can never open up page 29.

Hi YIweddings, Don't know who you're going to book with but we booked with WestJet Vacations - I was the point person for the group - and it saved us quite a bit. Mind you were going in June too. But I have three people leaving from Thunder Bay and they are flying into toronto like the rest of us and then we are all taking the same flight into punta cana. Cost for their trip tax in was $1375. We're going from May 29th to June 5th. Hope that helps.

Thanks for starting the new thread! It was getting pretty long. Hopefully we'll get some reviews soon from the January brides.

Hey ladies, Found a Canadian retailer for tote bags! Just Promo Bags - Factory Direct Promotional Product Pricing for custom printed totes, cinch bags, laundry bags, lunch and cooler bags, wine bags. You can order blank or printed totes and there is no minimu order. I sent an email inquiry yesterday and got a response back within the hour. 25 Blank canvas totes $2.07 each + $15 shipping. When I asked cheaptotes about shipping to Canada they said it would cost $50!

Hi Coley88, Definitely check out the Majestic Brides facebook page. There are tons of reviews on their and lots of discussion boards that cover a lot of frequently asked questions. Good luck on your decision!

Those look great! Very chic indeed. I agree with what everyone else has said a) it's your day, your choices and having the shades of orange and pink will look beautiful. It's not like your bridesmaids are going to hold up the runner to their dresses and say 'Hey, look it doesn't match my dress!'

FYI - For those who are looking for 2-packs of advil/tylenol and pepto. Amazon.com has them for $12 for 50 2-packs. It works out to .25 cents for a 2-pack! Not sure what the shipping would come to but it might be worth it.

Hello fellow 2010 Brides! I posted a while back but haven't been on the forum a lot lately because of the holidays. I'm happy to say that doing it on my own i've managed to lose 5pounds since Christmas. Not the most impressive weight loss but it was Christmas so i'm pretty pleased. For those who are also doing it on their own I found a couple excel spreadsheets that allow you to calculate points and keep track of them. Feel free to download below. I find keeping track at work the hardest but if it's loaded on my computer it's not soo bad. Good luck ladies! -Ok the tracking chart is too big to upload (1.2MB) so if you're interested you can PM me and I'll email it to you. It's the one that contains the points calculators. The one I've just attached is a progress chart and it estimates the date for you to reach your weight loss goals. WeightLossProgressChart24.xls

Those are great finds Raykel! I'm also ordering from cheap totes... there really isnt anywhere cheaper online or in stores. What style of mugs did you order from discount mugs if you don't mind my asking.

Fed Ex will send you a notice in the mail if you have to pay duty on something you purchased. That's what they did with the last item I purchased from the states anyway...

They have a shipping calculator on their website that you can use. All you have to do is choose a suit and when it takes you to check out there is a button to calculate shipping. Shipping to Ottawa was listed at $36.25. I would imagine Toronto would be a bit cheaper.

Welcome fellow Canuck! You'll find a ton of info on this forum. Congratulations and good luck planning!

Yeah, I just sent an email to Maritee's old email address and Claudia responded confirming all of my wedding details. I'm glad I sent an email to make sure nothing was lost in the transition.

Hi ladies! I've heard that Maritee is no longer with the Majestic. Has anyone else had her as their coordinator? And did you get any notification??
