  3. I just got back from getting married in Cancun and had my wedding at the Cancun Palace and it was fabulous! The party did end at 10pm because it was on a terrace, but you could always move your "after party" to one of the clubs down the road for more partying. Most of my guests were tired after 4 straight hours of dancing and then a few hit up the hotel bar afterwards. With that many people staying at the same resort I did, you would qualify for free private events (meaning free rehearsal dinner, free reception etc) and you would get a 7 night stay for free too. I hope you find something that works for you and I would be happy to give you more details if you were looking at other options :-) good luck!
  4. I actually bought the playing cards from The Knot shop. I waited for them to go on sale and then bought the playing cards and the parasols at the same time to save on shipping. I would highly recommend both.

  9. Thank you to the site for all of the great ideas and inspiration that this has given me for the wedding. There a lot of VERY talented people sharing ideas and helping brides all over the world make their weddings special. I am about a week out from boarding the plane and thought I would start my planning journal and start to give back some of the ideas I have used as well as will add more to the journal later and post a review after we come back :-) Our Story JD and I met through mutual friends (my college, his high school) and we had known the same people for years, but had never met before. We ended up meeting at a birthday party for one of our mutual friends and instantly had a connection. There was just something about him that I had to know more and he was very giving and loving from the moment I met him. We went on a few dates and became exclusive and our friends joked that we already acted like we were married and were inseperable. We moved in together after a few months and started to share our lives together in a whole new way. Its the best feeling in the world to come home to your best friend and I knew I wanted to be with him forever. We ended up taking a trip to Las Vegas and then driving to Utah and visiting Zion National Park. We were horseback riding and hiking in the mountains when he proposed and it was a really special day. We actually had to stand on a higher mountain top to get enough reception to call our family and friends to tell them we were engaged! Our wedding will be at the Cancun Palace and we are really excited to have it there since its all inclusive and our guests wont have to worry about anything as well as a lot of our guests have never been out of the country so its going to be an adventure! The Rings My fiance wanted a ring that was more "manly" so its titanium with a simple small diamond in the middle. Engagement photo Wedding Dress My wedding dress is a Liz Fields dress and is definately not beach friendly but I didnt care, it has a lot of personality and I think its really fun and has a really sparkly belt on it so I am sticking with it. Trash the Dress I picked up this dress after I realized I would probably would sink if I went in the water with my wedding dres on so I decided on a typical destination dress in chiffon. I am doing a really fun TTD session with our photographer we are flying down there so we are going to do a couple of different looks which I am excited about! Its Sophia Tolli and in all white.

  10. The company wedding gown preservation will do gown cleaning without the preservation and can do cleaning and minor repairs you just write on the packing slip clean only...we sell the kits my wedding store for $149 and that includes the preservation and cleaning...I certainly wouldnt pay more than that to do just the cleaning locally. The only bad thing about using the kit is that you would use the kit to ship the gown to them and they ship it back(UPS) versus dropping it off and picking up locally. Hopefully this information helps you price out your options better!
  11. Its understandable that you want a lot of people to share in your big day. Are you having a welcome home party after your wedding sometime? We are fortunate to have around 45 people coming to our wedding but there was a TON of the people who couldnt financially or take time off of work, so we are going to have our wedding ceremony video taped and play it at our welcome home reception in the summer. It will be BBQ style and low key but a time to share the moment again with people who couldnt make the trip. Just an idea if you are on a budget and still want to share your moment. Focus on the people that are there and are able to make it, and you will have a blast!!
  12. I just checked it out and its a knock off website....you can order from them but you are not going to get the real designers dress from there. They take the real pictures and put them on their website and guess at the specifications and how the dress is made and try to recreate it for you, thats why the prices are so cheap. Good luck :-)
  13. Wedding gown preservation kits are around $150 and they will clean the dress and preserve it for you. I would be more worried about the damage to the dress in the ocean from the salt, and wear and tear on it (loose beading, etc). If the dress is satin or taffeta I would recommend running it under tap water in the tub after the TTD session and then when you get it home immediately getting it cleaned or preserved. I would not recommend doing TTD with a silk dress...it will ruin the fabric if you are planning on using it again. Hope this helps!
  14. Did they already cash your check? If they already cashed your check then you have a verbal contract as you already have paid for services, and she needs to fulfill her end our you can take her to court for breach of contract. If she didnt cash it, but a stop payment and find someone else. I am having a photography fly down with us from the US and we are paying for her hotel but she is crediting/discounting the photography so it would be just as much. Her website is www.crystalrosephotography.com if you want to check her out. She is doing 2 weddings in Cancun in the next 2 months. good luck!!
  15. I am in a similar situation she hasnt booked yet, but still insists shes coming...my thoughts were to keep the same people, not add anyone new but have the guys already standing at the altar and just have the girls walk down the aisle, then no one has to walk alone or be awkward. The other option would be to have the maid of honor walk alone and the rest with a partner.
  16. wow, you did some great little details that turned out awesome!!
  17. that is a gorgeous photo! i cant wait to do my ttd session too...i think its amazing what they can do with photography these days!
  18. I do have a bridal shop but I am also a bride who is planning my destination wedding in February just like everyone else on here and I am not here to solicit any services, just offer my opinion and from a perspective most people cant offer, and that is my blunt opinion and I have seen an awful lot of crappy knock offs come my way. I definately have seen some that are ok too, but overall I think its worth the money to buy a low end designer dress than a bad version of an expensive dress.
