  1. Ended up getting a 2nd dress and completely forgot about this one.  Size 8, unaltered white wedding gown with matching veil.  Style is fit and flare, strapless, open to mid back. Tons of detail on both the front and the back. Tried on once in the store and has been sitting in a garment bag ever since.  I paid $675 for the dress and $115 for the veil (original receipt attached) - Asking $350 and will ship for free.  Please let me know if you have any more questions or would like additional pictures.

  2. Hello ladies - for various reasons I ended up getting a 2nd wedding dress and am selling the first one.  It was purchased at Trudy's Bridal in the Bay Area and was never worn other than to try it on in the store.  It is an unaltered size 8.  Original price was $795 and I got a veil that was another $100.  Asking $600 OBO for both.  Let me know if you would like more pictures or have any questions.

  4. HI Ladies,

     

    So I'm finally getting around to cleaning out my "wedding stuff".  My colors were fuschia and turquoise and I might add more stuff as I find it.  Let me know if you have any questions :)  Shipping is not included.

     

     

    24 Johnson & Johnson 1st aid kit - $15

    Picture092.jpg

     

     

    Custom made ring boy pillow and 2 flower girl baskets (We had 2 flower girls).  $15 for each or $40 for all 3.

    Picture079.jpg

     

     

    I bought fuschia raffia fans and added a blue ribbon and a fake orchid (sorry the picture is a little blurry - I can provide more if need be.  Also the color is a bit off but it's actually regular fuschia).  I have 23 - $1 each or $20 for all.

    2 branches of fake orchids - $7

    So I was planning on selling all my fuschia napkins.  Unfortunately, half went missing, and half fell victims to being outside all night and got some dirt on them that I cannot remove.  I have 12 perfectly clean ones, and some that have spots on them.  I'm only "selling" the clean ones but if you'd like, I can send the rest in case you have better luck in stain removal :)  Again, they look a weird color but are actually fuschia - 12 - $5

    I made a bunch of these as luggage tags.  I don't need them so am giving them away for free (just pay shipping).  I have about 150.

    Feel free to ask any questions or make an offer!

     

  5. so funny - I actually started this thread and it's fun to come back and read what people say.  Well - the wedding is over and every time I look at pics I still get a little.. not so happy but in a slightly amused way.  She looks just like a bridesmaid but unfortunately, the dress was not very flattering and that opinion was shared by many, including my MIL.  At the end of the day - it really was not a huge deal and now I just laugh about it :)

     

    Now..my cousin getting the wrong shade of blue for her son (ring boy) and me not seeing it until the day of the wedding....that's a whole other story hahahahaha

  6. So I'm all for "kill 'em with kindness" when you are dealing with some annoying relative that you have to deal with but as a vendor, I don't think you should go out of your way to be nice (just my 2 cents). Despite the relationship through your friend, you are paying her for a service (not to mention you are doing her a huge favor by giving up the quality of your photos). If it were me, I'd probably make it clear (politely) that I'm hiring her for a service, and that if she can't provide that service, then you can find someone who can. It sounds mean but pictures are so important - you'll have that memory the rest of your life.... and having someone tell you what to do (with attitude on top of that) is just not appropriate imo.

     

    just my 2 cents :)

  7. Hi Ladies,

     

    Just got married there last week so hope I can answer some questions. First of all, I know it's hard but I will echo and say that they are super busy and try to get back to you as soon as possible. Once you arrive, you will meet with your WC the next day and you can sort out all the details, including location. However, if you already have a location in mind, you can probably confirm that in advance but once you get there you can actually see all the options.

     

    We had DJMannia so not sure of the cost, but I'm sure you can add on an extra hour once you are there. All our music as mp3 format but again, you might want to double check. Or better yet, bring both formats :)

     

    Re: music - will you have a laptop? That might work as well since it's an earphone jack (again, double check - this info is from my tech savvy hubby)

     

    Spa - This is their email address. They respond quickly and can confirm your appointments: [email protected]

     

    Not sure about officiant since we had our own but if you get the mariachi band, they are to be paid in cash ($400).

     

    I was also super stressed out but they are really organized once you get there and took care of everything. We even had to change our location day of because it was really windy at Playa Azul but I was set on having it outside so Claudia took my FI (I was busy getting ready) and went out to find a new location. Turned out great.

     

    Any questions? Please ask :) Everyone was really helpful so I'll do my best!

  8. Hello,

     

    After doing a bit of research on photobooks, I decided to go with blurb for my BD pics. Nothing horribly wrong - but I can't say that I was super impressed:

     

    - The phrase on the cover wraps around the edges. Yes they do give you a warning when you are doing the layout, but once you move it away from the edges far enough, the warning disappears. I did that - but half of the phrase still isn't visible as it curves under the book.

     

    - Full page layout pictures are slightly cut off. It's not a big deal on a general shot, but there were images where I specifically cropped it to include certain parts of my face and they were cut off.

     

    - Image quality - it seems like some weren't as clear as I expected but maybe that's just me being OCD :)

     

    Anyhow - I'll still give it to my FI since I don't have time to make another one and I still say give Blurb a try, as it is easy to use, reasonably priced, and quick turn. But wanted to throw in my 2 cents in case it helps :)
