Hi All, I'm in contact with Deco cancun for decoration for the evening reception is anybody else using them/or used them in the past?? should i be haggling with the price - i'm not very good at that! any help is appreciated

The ash is terrible!! we go away to spain in 10days so to miss that would be bad but if it was our wedding time I don't know what we would do! i hope it clears up soon and stays that way (everything crossed!!!)

Wow such lovely pictures!! Congratulations

We sent out our save the dates and now are just waiting to see who is going to book, etc. This way I can start with a head count. I just don't want to wait last minute to buy favors and put together goody bags for the guests. How soon did you ladies start these tasks? And did you just over buy and then sell whatever you had left over? I need to strategize! I am not the bridezilla type that stresses about all of the minor details, but I am afraid that if I wait too long,I will become her! (nothing wrong with her-but not just me) And, I don't know if I can wait two more months for an onsite coordinator to get in touch with me! I want to know details now Adriana Hi Adriana, Our wedding is in October and we've been assigned our co-ordinator on site so I think if you want too they'll assign you one sooner, maybe just ask Miami and they should get someone to contact you. I thought I wasn't wedding-y until I came onto this forum and the more I read the more ideas I get and my to-do list grows

Hi Cal&Mark We booked with virgin, but booked the diamond package separately with moon palace - I think we'll definately go with an outside vendor just got to start that search now. It's a good idea to have the 2 nights, I really like the idea of photos of both of us whilst we're getting ready etc... I best get sorted! Are the prices relative to what we would pay here in the uk?

Well we've confirmed our honeymoon breakfast! That was a nice easy decision... waiting to know more definite numbers before we can start planning the private reception MP brides are increasing in numbers!

Hi Cal&Mark0510, Did you have to pay for the photographer to stop a night also? Also do you have photos included in your package already?

Can't wait to see more pics! gorgeous!

Initially I was just going to go with the Moon Palace photographer but now once I've had a think about it I think I want an outside vendor after looking at some websites- now the choice ofwhich one! Also being as our wedding package already includes a photo package am I able to have both? (Does that sound greedy?) Currently we just have the basic photography package? I understand we have to pay for a night for the photographer also can they come in on a day pass? Thanks for your help as ever!

Such a great review!! I also have read this a fair few times!! Thanks cutierosie!

In return we are purchasing a few new camera gadgets he needs to deal with the sun....but he is so excited and so are we! Kathryn190 - WOW....that is an amazing dress. I could never pull that dress off...I'm WAY to curvy in a not slender in the middle kind of way! LOL.....but I love it! Thank you I'm currently spending ALOT of time at the gym! I love all the dresses on here

I'm finding the more I communicate with my WC the more I want!! I've just been given the details for the decor company so I'm going to check them out... Lily has been really good so far as has Claudia - this is all very exciting!

I feel like I should also show my MP bride dress - not very beachy but we've picked the tucan gazebo now so I suppose I may only be on the beach for a few pics? It's maggie sottero : Jenna - by Maggie Sottero I suppose transporting it from England will be the real annoyance?! Anybody having the moon palace photographer - and if so what photo package are you having? From what I remember when we initially booked we thought we were getting a great photo package but now I think I want to upgrade?

We have 20 people booked at the moment but hoping for near 30! It's about an 11 hour flight for us so I'm grateful anyone booked I think I may be becoming addicted to this forum - and looking at wedding pictures at MP!!

I know I want to be married on the beach, but not sure about the private reception yet. I got my dress already and will gp looking for BM dresses in March or April. One of my BM is in FL!!! We plan on staying at MP for the week after our wedding! I didn't even think about going anywhere else! Hmmmmmmm I think my email to Claudia prompted Lily (WC) to email me?? maybe just ask a question of miami and it might mean you get assigned your wedding coordinator? it could be a coincidence i suppose? The beach set up looks gorgeous - i think they'll be able to send you some good info on the huppas(if that is what they are called!) Will you qualify for the free events? because we have booked through travel agents over here we don't get the free reception so that's a bit annoying! as it's an all inc resort I didn't really want to pay for a dinner however it is our wedding day and it's once in a lifetime so why not!

Hi Asbarret, It's definately going too fast but on the other hand I'm soo excited for it I hope it comes round quickly! We're going to the Bahamas after Mexico then back to sunny England for our AHR a few days after - I definately think it's a good idea to have a few days on your own with your new hubby after -you can relax then

Save the date | 10.10.10) for all you mexico brides - are you nervous about october being hurricane season? Hey Eunice, a mexico bride here...i don't know if it's right or not but i'm not too worried about the hurricane season - we were in cancun last october from 10-17th and the weather was gorgeous - there was the occasional shower but it soon cleared. Fingers crossed ey?! And I've seen some pictures of weddings after a hurricane ida (i think)and they still look beautiful!

Hi Scorpio, I was really laid back initially so didn't really start thinking about what I wanted but since I've been on here I've really been inspired to get things going!! Being as we're along way from Mexico and the price it costs to get there we sent the invites out in January so that people can get booked up and pay it off over a couple of months - how about you?have you done invites of STD's? So far I have ordered my dress, FI knows what waistcoat/trousers he wants so it's a matter of ordering those. I hope to get my bridesmaid dresses this month (altho one of my bridesmaids is currently in australia!!) Our wedding co-ordinator contacted us last week after I asked Claudia for further details on wedding locations so it feels like I can start getting things sorted which is soo excited. We've chosen the Tucan Gazebo for the wedding location and still contemplating evening details!! How are your plans coming along? It feels like the year is going to go so fast and October will be here before we know it!

great thread! thanks!
