Where did you get your hair peice, earrings and necklace? stunning!!!! thanks! i made my hairpiece out of 3 different pieces..i bought the black feathers and teh white feathers from hobby lobby and the pearl/diamond piece was on a comb thing from forever 21! i wired the blk/white feathers together.. then unwired the pearl piece off of the comb and then wired it onto the feathers. it took a little bit, but i was sooooo happy with it in the end...i liked it so much more than any of them i saw for sale. my jewelry i got from a little store here in lubbock, tx called accessory touch. it was pretty cheap!

Question, did any resent brides have the same dance floor as Duprk or had the wood planks? If that is the regular dance floor, we don't need to pay to upgrade. Kenlyn, what did you think of Victor? coming from photography experience...victor and his crew were so awesome, very nice, and professional! victor is so creative with his work, and does it with ease. i think he deserves a lot more credit than he gets. they worked extremely hard for my wedding and caught a lot of emotion! those are the moments you don't want to lose.

By the way looks like they upgraded on their dance floor. That is such a nice dance floor! when we went on our site visit the weddings we saw just had these wood planks. Kenlyn - I know I can't wait to be there lol love the reception at Pelicanos they should give that option to everyone. What a great spot. jes, i know having it at pelicanos was truly way better than i could've imagined..all of my guests said they thought it would be better having it there than on the beach, like i originally planned! it was amazing and so perfect

hey steph! i am SO glad we got to meet it was so crazy how it happened too lol..hope ya'll enjoyed the rest of ya'lls stay! wish we got to hang out more too. can't wait to see your pics!!! i am getting antsy waiting for mine.

thanks girls i will post a review when i get the pro pics!

here are some of my DIY projects (favors/programs/menu cards/fans/aisle runner,etc)

our first dance ) (dave barnes--i have and always will) me and my daddie for our dance (he cried!)

it was so windy!

this was a side view of the gazebo when they were finishing setting up for the ceremony!

hey girls! we just got back on tuesday evening from our wedding at the royal on June 10th and so i don't have a review done yet, but i will try to get one done soon! i want to say that Michel is SO awesome! she did such a fantastic job with everything! our wedding was so much fun! we had the symbolic ceremony at the gazebo at 6pm, and the private reception was supposed to be on the beach @ 7 but it started pouring rain about 4pm, so she wanted to move it to pelicanos (they cleared all the tables from there out)...which i am SO glad we did, it turned out AMAZING there!!! we hired DJ Dorremix/Ivan Gomez and he did a fantastic job, our group (about 35 people) were dancing all night long, including me! He brought glow sticks, masks, and balloons and my guests loved all of those goodies! The resort did a fabulous job on our couture cake, turned out pretty much just what i asked for and tasted so good! we had three diff layers, all being a different flavor. i brought down a bunch of decorations and favors with me, and Michel set them up as i asked her to! i hired photographer victor herrera and he was so pleasant to work with, i haven't seen the pictures yet (i'm super anxious) but i know they will be great because he did an amazing job! i will post them as soon as i get them. but until then i will post some pictures that some of my guests took with their cameras! enjoy

DJ Doremixx/IVAN GOMEZ is incredible!!! We just got married last week at The Royal in Playa del Carmen and he did such an amazing job that I told him he needed to come to the US to work because he is GOOD! He announced everything for our reception and did a great job! Him and his staff set up the cold fireworks for the first dance, and it was truly amazing All of my guests were blown away! We had about 35 people, and he kept them dancing all night long! My guests LOVED the balloons, masks, and glow sticks they brought. The light up dance floor was phenomenal. EVERYONE thought that was the neatest thing. My wedding and reception will be talked about for a long time, thank you IVAN!!!! You guys are awesome!

girls, it's almost that time for me we leave on tuesday!!!! we are soooo excited, but i still feel like i have tons to get done before we leave! i am hoping it won't rain on our day. i don't get on here too much anymore since i am super busy with work and these DIY projects, but i will definitely try to get a review done when i get back..those reviews from previous brides helped me soo much! THANK YOU! ))
