I lied...they're boxes of 48. So 8 packages of 6 tablets. Even better! And I think it was between $5-7 for the box!

The sale ends today though, so if you are interested, hurry in before closing time!

Hi Ladies! Wanted to give you all a heads up if you are looking for Bubba Kegs...they are going on sale at Canadian Tire this week for 50% off!

Everyone's dresses are so amazing! I just got my dress this week! I was really freaking out about whether I chose the right one, but I really love it Here it is!

Hi ladies! My dress came in yesterday and I ran to try it on...so excited!! 6 months to go!

Hi Ladies!

I have been so inspired by everyone's DIY projects that I thought I would share what I've done for my bridesmaids/maid of honor!

I bought the tank tops at Garage (since it's the end of summer everything is super cheap!) and the iron-on rhinestone transfers on Etsy at a store called Rhinestone Wishes. The bottles and ribbon were purchased at Michaels (about $2 each), and the treasure chests and brown paint for them were purchased at Dollarama (about $15 all together).

If you have any questions about them, let me know I'm not a creative person so I'm very proud of myself...I'm bracing myself for the next DIY project...Passport Invitations! Should be interesting, to say the least!!

Hi Ladies,

I got this deal in my inbox this morning from Livingsocial.com! For $128 you get:

• 30-Minute Makeup Application
• Unlimited Wardrobe Changes
• CD of 40 Digital Files
• Two 8x10 Prints, and
• 25% Off Additional Services

Regularly $800!

Here is the link...this is not really my style of photography so I'm going to keep my eyes open for more deals, but thought I'd share in case any other brides could use it! And remember, the deal is for today only!

Here is the logo I designed last night...not sure what I'll use it for yet, hoping to incorporate it into our passport invitations somehow!

Thanks ladies. I guess my worry is the fact that it's a pickup skirt, so I'm not sure if it will just flatten out after going in the water. Here's a link to the dress: http://www.venusbridal.com/bridals/venus/VE8044

I have heard from 2 drycleaners that they could get it cleaned (my future MIL would like me to wear it at our AHR) and it would be perfect, but the actual dress designer said that there's a pretty good chance it could be ruined.

If I was to purchase a separate dress for the TTD, I would want it to look similar to mine, and I've been very unsuccessful in finding anything. I'm just really hoping I can use my original dress and it won't get totally ruined. Too much to ask maybe, considering the dress I chose?

Hi Stinatiny, if you PM me your email address I can send them to you!

Hi Ladies! Can't believe it's finally my turn to post my dress! Had a HARD time finding exactly what I wanted, as it was difficult finding a fuller skirt that was still light enough for a DW

Hi Everyone,

I have FINALLY found a dress for my April 30, 2012 wedding, that has a skirt made of either Organza or Tulle (can't remember off the top of my head). I am now starting to think about our Trash the Dress shoot, and wondering if anyone knows whether the fabric will be okay in the water, and if it will regain its shape afterwards? I would love to hear from anyone who has any information/advice! Buying a separate TTD dress is always an option, I'm just trying to keep costs down a bit so if we can trash my original dress that would be ideal. Thank you so much in advance

I'm a little frustrated by this too, because my WC said that we can only do our rehersal at the buffet and that we aren't able to do it at a restaurant. I wonder what makes every person different...

Hi Everyone,

I've been having some difficulty working with the Travel Agent that was reffered to me by a family member, as the person is unable to find quotes for me for my wedding in April 2012.

I'm wondering if it is unethical for me to ask for quotes from other travel agents? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi Acutie,

I got in contact with Phil and we have him booked for our wedding on April 30, 2012 at the Majestic Elegance!

Have you booked with him yet? Happy planning

Hi ladies. I've been having a hard time waiting to hear back from Awilda (it's been about a week since I've emailed her) and I have a question that maybe you can help me with. I'm trying to figure out if Dreams is for us...I really feel like it is. I'm just wondering if anyone knows, if we get the Ultimate Wedding package would that include a private reception with dinner and dancing, and if there are extra charges involved? Awilda said that it wouldn't cost anything extra if we wanted to upgrade to a buffet but didn't give any further information. I would really appreciate any info!! Thanks in advance!

Hi Acutie,

Just thought I'd update you, Dreams has scrapped that rule about outside photographers and also lifted the day pass fee they used to charge, so you should be okay if you wanted to use Photophil! I have also not heard back from him, but spoke with someone that worked in his office. Apparently he is out of the office and will respond when he's back. The person said that he will be in the Dominican next year on April 28th (not sure how long before and after), and my wedding is on April 30th so I'm hoping to hear back from him soon! Good luck and let me know if you secure a date!

Hi ladies! I'm not a Hard Rock bride and I'm not sure if everyone already knows about this, but I got this in my e-mail today and thought I'd pass it on in case someone hasn't seen it yet. It's a $1500 resort credit that can be used towards tours, room upgrades, your wedding packages and a bunch of other stuff. Happy planning!

Jamie and Line M...Sandra e-mailed me a list of prices for bottles of liquor we can purchase from her for our wedding on April 30, 2012. If you send me your email address, I'll e-mail it to you as I don't know how to post stuff on here yet, I'm still pretty new! Hope it helps

Hello! I'm in the planning stages and trying to decide between Dreams Palm Beach and Majestic Elegance, but I haven't received any information from DPB yet. I'm wondering if anyone knows this: If we book a wedding package that includes the cocktail hour and a silver or gold menu dinner, are those functions private? Also, if we opted to have the dinner on the beach or pool area is it mandatory to pay the buffet fee of $35+ per person or is that included somehow? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

Hi Everyone! We are just starting to plan for our May 2012 wedding and are seriously considering the ME. My only concern is that a reception isn't included with the package. Does anyone know if it is possible to have the private reception at the Wet Bar (the one that is $500/hr and includes sound system, open bar, ect.) but include a buffet for cheaper than the $55/plate? I am trying to keep costs down and we are considering doing dinner at the steakhouse but my FI and I both would prefer to do the dinner/reception at the same place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Summafool, I am VERY interested in using photophil as well I just love his pictures!

My only problem is that I haven't booked a date yet (still trying to choose between resorts as I just got engaged a few days ago) and I read on the Dreams Palm Beach Brides facebook page  that they no longer accept photographers from off the resort. Have you heard anything about this? My two top choices were DPB and the Majestic Elegance, but if DPB doesn't allow outside photographers and the ME costs so much for a private reception, I feel like I almost need to start at the beginning in finding a resort. Any suggestions?
