I think it depends on the look you are going for. I think I would personally go with #1. Yeah, It's very hard to decide. I just love them both. I am going to try again and see if one of my friends can sneek a picture of me in them and post on here. Thanks for your vote The Future Mrs. Sears!

I got mine at the trunk show and it was 750, but it regularly sells for 1100!! so it's definately worth the wait. Really!!! Okay I will do just that. I will go to the Truck Show at New Natalies but, i will still try to find the other dress in my size to try on so by then I know exactly what I want to order. Thanks again Carolina24!

Of course I went through with it because it looks amazing! Once it get it (should be by the end of the week) I'll update with quality as this was one of my concerns. I didn't want something that felt as thin and cheap as a davids bridal dress but now i'm more focused on the LOOK so i'm preparing myself for the fact that it will NOT be a maggie dress with regards to quality (but what can you expect for $180!!!). The seller is gianinarbridal ([email protected]). After I paid the deposit it took right at a month to get the proof pictures. Anyway, here is the original: And here's my replica. The beading isn't quite as "dark" but I don't mind at all. You can't expect it to be 100%. But it's certainly close enough that I was jumping around the house like a 2 year old! Your dress looks amazing so far. I can't wait to see it when its totally finished and they have sent it to you. Please post a follow up photo once you get it. I will look into gianiarbridal. Thanks for posting! -Anastasia G.

I bought mine at New Natalie's Bridal and it was waayy less than at other atlanta stores (like $300 less)! I don't think you should go for a replica though, imo Hi Carolina24, Yeah, I went to New Natalie's Bridal this past friday. They have the Amara Lee (1st one) for 648.00 but the try-on dress wasn't in my size so I had to visualize what it might look like on me. The Phillipa (2nd one) was going for 1,186.00. It was lovely. very elegant. I know Natalie’s is having a trunk show for Maggie Sottero Dresses in January from the 8th to the 10th. So I guess I will hold on till then to see what deals they will have. I just found out that Bride Beautiful off on Roswell Rd is having a Trunk Show this month 11th thru 13th. I hope will have enough money by then if they have dresses half off that would be great. Thanks for your advice! -Anastasia G.

I have heard about lightinthebox.com but, I am also considering the following: Wholesale - Buy China Wholesale Products from Chinese Wholesalers on DHgate.com Wedding Dresses|Bridal Gowns|Prom Gowns|Cheap Bridesmaid|Wedding Accessories www.duosheng.com Little Coral - Professional of Wedding Dress, Ice Skating Dress, Mascot Costume Just based on reviews. I am not sure if any of these other sites might help.

Hello Ladies! I have two isues. I tried on both of these Maggie Sottero Dresses but, I can't decide on which one. The both look lovely on me. The store I tried them on won't let you take pictures so, I don't have any to post with me in them. But if you could help me find a replica with good reviews that would be great.Thanks for your help ladies!!!! -Anastasia Amara Lee - by Maggie Sottero or Phillipa - by Maggie Sottero Top Choices.doc

Thanks again for posting. -Anastasia

I might have to take a look at duossheng to see if they can replicate a Maggie Sottero dress for me. Now question, did you go to the store and try on the dress(es) and then try to find the replica on-line or did you just begin your search on-line and bought from there without trying on any dresses? Thanks for posting. -Anastasia G.

Like for how long were you checking rates week by week. and how did you work that out with your guest? Did they just continue to save until you gave the information or were they putting it in a account through the TA until you finalized there rates?

Quote: Originally Posted by Nora I'm not sure if you considered this but I believe there is a free shuttle between the Palace resorts (I stayed at Sun Palace which is adults only). They should take your guests to Moon Palace and the all-inclusive applies at ALL the resorts, so if you pay to be an all-inclusive guest at Sun Palace or another Palace resort then you can go to Moon Palace and eat at their restaurants, hang by the pool, basically act like you're a guest there as well until you have to go back and sleep at your own hotel Just a thought for people who don't want to pay Moon Palace rates. Moon Palace is also a little ways (10-15 min drive?) away from the rest of the hotels and shopping, etc. Yeah, I looked at that. I guess my whole delemia is that my guests aren't keen on spending 143-200 a person per night. I am still trying to be hopeful since its still early.

Wow... Okay thanks. I will try to negotiate as well I guess bit later.. Thanks Woodsylou

Yeah, I would just have too. I think I am just going send out my save the dates and wait till february to send out additional info. So that way they know we are going somewhere so start saving..... I will also keep you in mind. Thanks TA Maureen.

What quotes have you been getting? So far, one of the TA's gave me a quote for 1000 per guest for 3N with airfair from Atlanta. And a quote of 1500 per person for my fiance and my self to stay 7nights. I dont' know if this a great deal. but I wouldn't mind paying 1000 for 7nights8days instead.

Hello Everyone, If you are booking your MP wedding sometime late 2010 from Oct-Dec. What are some of the rates you have beeb quoted? Did you get your deal from a TA or Website? Please help because if I am not able to find a resonable deal I might have to say good bye to MP and hello guest friendly budget resort.
