wow this forum has been very quiet!  Any weddings lately?! Post the reviews and pics!

We left for our trip on a Friday and got married on a Tuesday.  My hubby's hair grew very quickly!  but he was too skeptical to trust the resort to line him up. (we also got married in Mexico).  But it depends on how quick your fi's hair grows.

I would say the braids.  But if your sides/edges are really skimpy, the micros may be really spacy. Also, have you thought about tree braids? 

I have worn my hair like this before.  I use long curly half wigs, and just pull it to the side into a ponytail!  It's really easy to accomplish this look, and you don't have to pay a bunch of money for a sew-in!  I have used Outre half wigs (the names of the wigs are Sabina or Rihanna).  I am going to do my hair like this again for the holiday, so I will post a pic up when I am done.  Can you imagine that for under $20 you can have your perfect wedding hairstyle!

 wish I had known about the split cap weave before my wedding! You look wonderful!  I need some more details about the split cap weave because I am going on a cruise in Jan and don't want braids. 

Anyway, since this forum has been so helpful to me when I was getting ready for my destination wedding, I figured I should let others know what I did for my wedding hairstyle.  we got married May 2010 at Valentin Imperial Maya in Mexico.  Beautiful place!  I decided to do Invisible braids, but most of them slipped out when I washed them during the vacation!  You cant see the braids in the picture, but I pulled the hair to the side and pinned; curls achieved with flexi-rods and mousse 

your braids are so pretty!  you look absolutely stunning.  How did you wash your braids and go swimming?  Did any of the braids slip out?

so based on divadivine25´s experience with the invisible braids, i decided to try them out. i am so glad i did! I am in Mexico and it is soooo hot! but beautiful! I love the fact that I don{t have to constantly do my hair every morning! I got wet and wavy human hair 18 inches. I can just wash my hair and go! just let it air dry or dry with a blow dryer, and it looks so pretty!!! I am not an expert with these braids but let me know if anyone has any questions. Getting married on Tuesday-wish me luck!!!

beautiful pics!

My issue is that my waist is small but I'm too tall for petite sizes! As far as the dress, I'm going to wear "dressy flip flops" because we are having the ceremony on the beach. my dress seems a little short because it's a 0P and I'm 5'4, so wearing heels may look funny too.

Congrats and welcome to the forum. Good luck with your planning!

thanks for the info! I'm getting micros (I want invisible but my hair is too long) and I will be in Cancun for 12 days! So I definitely want my braids to look good after all the time in the pool and ocean

I never wanted a big wedding but I would like for my immediate family to be there. I don't know maybe I'm having mixed feelings because the wedding is less than 2 months away. And we are not having a reception at home so that makes me feel even worse. Sigh...

wow you all are tiny! I'm a little taller (5'4) and still a size 0 so I'm a bean pole lol. Definitely will need alterations to my dress. So many people think small people have it easy when fitting into clothes and it's not true! And hoyt75 I know you definitely have a rough time finding dresses to fit! And please make sure to write a review of the Valentin because you are getting married before me (May 1. Good luck to everyone!

Hey Ladies! Just wondering how many of you had a hard time finding a dress that fits well because you are small? I finally found my dress, size ZERO! and it still fits a little big in the chest area! Am I the only one? hehe

Congratulations! The Palace resorts are great. I originally picked Cozumel Palace but realized that it wasn't a beachfront resort. So after days and days of research I picked Valentin Imperial Maya. Anywho, congrats and good luck.

Welcome and Congrats! I am getting married in May at the Valentin Imperial Maya and it's absolutely gorgeous! Take a look at it! But there are soooooooo many resorts to choose from. Good luck in your research.

Absolutely lovely! Your braids are so pretty! How did they hold up after the wedding? Was it a hassle to maintain after swimming?

Thanks for the review! Getting married there in May and I've been working with Ariadna. She is so awesome! YOu are definitely not the first bride to have mixed feelings about Lupita. But overall your wedding went well and that's all that matters! Congrats

It will just be the two of us. I will be walking down to Luther Vandross "If This world Was Mine" or Nat King Cole "When I Fall in Love"

Congrats and good luck! I hear that is very beautiful in Punta Cana. My best friend is in med school in DR and I am hopefully going to plan a trip in the near future.

We are going to get married in less than 2 months. And I am seriously having second thoughts about not having family with us. I really want my father to walk me down the aisle, my sister to be my maid of honor, my best friends and FI's mother and siblings to be there. I thought that us "eloping" was a good idea but now I'm getting really sad. Nevertheless, the main reason why it will just be the two of us is due to money. Anyone else having second thoughts?

There are much more cheaper places than Cancun! Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Morelos...I found an UNBELIEVABLE deal on cheaptickets.com. We are leaving for Mexico in May and I booked everything Sept 2009. An all-inclusive (Valentin Imperial Maya), flights included for two people 12 days for 2900 total!!! Not each! Can't beat that.

So two weeks ago I broke down and relaxed my hair after being "natural" for a year. My hair was not doing well! Much more manageable when relaxed (at least for me). So I am going to do a hair trial next week. I'm getting a sew-in with 14" body wave (I'm not going to use quality hair like remy saga b/c it's just a trial). If I don't like that then I will definitely settle for invisible braids. Time is ticking! I only have 2 months and 2 weeks!!!

Wow...talk about amazing, incredible, unbelievable, beautiful! Words can't describe how wonderful your photos turned out! Congrats!
