Definitely Vacation Time Would you rather travel somewhere warm and tropical on a crowded beach or cold and cozy with a cabin alone in the woods

Thanks. I am getting married at Dreams Riviera Cancun. Because I am getting married on a Saturday most of the Cancun photographers are already booked for my date. I have entered on of the phtog contests in the venders section so I will cross my fingers. The "house" photographer for DRC doesn't look too bad I'm just bummed because I really wanted to do a TTD also. I may still be able to find someone to at least do a TTD a couple days after my wedding. It is just frustrating that someone can back out. Not only was she doing my wedding but we booked an engagement session in 3 weeks that she said she no longer wanted to do. I guess its for the best and I'm glad she told me sooner rather than later.

ARGG! I know I still have plenty of time, but I was pretty much done planning when my photographer backed out!! She decided that she doesn't want to do destination weddings anymore so has no reason to waste the time!!! Now I have to rethink my whole wedding!!! I was originally going to do the resorts free package but now I think I'm going to upgrade to the ultimate package so I can get photography included! So much to do now. Oh well, just wanted to vent. Thanks.

Northern California is great for fishing, hiking, camping etc. My fiance and I go backpacking all the time and love it. If you haven't been before, check out some of the national parks. Yosemite is beautiful and Lassen is quite but beautiful as well.

Those are really pretty, I was also thinking about doing a photo book for both sets of parents.

I like them! I would do the large if you want to spend that much. That way the men can put a towel in it as well as all their beach goodies!

Welcome, Good luck planning!

So I have been seriously MIA from this website. I just wanted to get let you all know my situation and see if any of you guys can help me. I just found out that my photographer backed out. I was supposed to do an engagement session, wedding day, and next day trash the dress shoot with her! I am so bummed because it will be to hard/expensive to find another. But because I now have the extra $$, I was thinking about upgrading my wedding package. I originally was going to go with the free package because I just wanted a small simple wedding and really the photographer was the most important part of the wedding for me. But because of my current situation I was thinking about having the resort photographer because they sound great. Instead of just paying for that I figured why not give my guests a formal reception also! So because I haven't been thinking about a reception at all, I need some information. Do any of you have the dinner/cocktail hour menus for silver or gold or even the platinum or special? I figure Ana will take too long to get back to me with that information. Also, I already paid my $100 deposit for the free package but in order to upgrade do you have to send an additional $400? What is contained within the contract with Ana? I asked her numerous times to send me one or just give me information about it and she never did, nor really answer my questions. (surprise, surprise) So if any of you could give me insight as to why you think one package is better than the other (Love or Ultimate) that would be great to. I can't decide if the $700 is worth it between the two. Thanks so much!

I got these for my girls. They are cheap and super cute. I ended up getting a turquoise one for myself also! The owner of the store is really nice and makes sure you are happy and goes out of his way to make the dresses get to you fast if he knows it is for a wedding!

I know Amy Michelson has a lot of low back dresses. I was originally looking for dresses with unique back cuts also. She has some really pretty dresses.

I can second what KJT said about gianinarbridal. I loved the comfort of being able to see the proofs of the dress before making the final purchase. Also, I was concerned about the lace pattern and they sent me pictures of several examples and offered to send me swatches prior to beginning my dress. I thought it was really great how much they tried to make me happy and more at ease.

This makes me so nervous now! My guests have already started to book so there is no turning back now! Tara, is there anyway that the ceremony could be more quiet if you reserved the palapas right in front of the ceremony site? Also, about what time do people start heading back to their rooms to get ready for dinner? My ceremony is at 5 so I was hoping that would be late enough to start thinning the crowds. I'm sorry to hear that you had to change everything and you weren't happy about drc but thank you for the honest review. We stressed out brides need to hear reality sometimes even though we want the picture perfect wedding.

Accessories has a huge selection of real touch flowers. Not a whole lot of color choices for peonies but I saw some light pink real touch hydrangeas. There are plenty of other hot pink flowers though.

I got my proof pictures!!!!!! I ordered from gianinarbridal. I recommend their customer service and so far their quality. I will post again once I receive the dress. Here is the original style 1934 Casa Blanca Bridal :: Collections and here are the profs of my dress. I requested the corset back.

Paperandmore.com has a ton of cheap cardstock, envelopes, and pockets to DIY for cheaply.

I am astonished at the quality considering it cost me $180 (WITH shipping)!!!! I think it's better quality than Davids bridal dresses. We live in a state without friends or family (just moved this summer and I don't work with any girls). I put it on backwards, tied myself in as best I could, turned it around....just to find out the camera battery was dead. ARG!! Maybe tomorrow, the fiance is almost home! EmmaGaussoin did you get your proof pictures yet CONGRATS!!!!!!! Everyday I have been waking up early to check my email hoping my proofs will be there and their not! They told me 30-40 days and it has only been 35 but I want to see it! I am so happy that the quality is good. I can't wait to see mine! I promise I will post my proofs when I get them! Now go find a girl to help you get that dress on right! Can't wait to see pictures of you in it!

I LOVE THOSE!!!! Where did you do them? I would love to go to that cenote it looks beautiful.

Thanks everyone! I ordered my flowers (real touch calla lilies and orchids). I will put them together over the holidays when I actually have some time. I will put pictures up when I'm done!

I ordered mine a couple days after KJT from gianinarbridal. My proofs should come soon!!! I'm so excited I can't wait. It looks like it turned out beautiful. I can only hope the same for my dress!
