Thanks!  I"m not sure!! I didn't even know there wee different beach reception options! lol  I'm sorry you didn't get it... I'll keep you posted about any other deals I hear about! How did you get the free upgrade? Was it by doing the webinar? I can never find when they are doing te webinars on the Karisma site, Â

I can completely relate and I'm so sorry!!! I'm glad you were able to vent here. I don't even know what to say about the ball gown... How ridiculous. I feel the same way about my mil. She gives me sh*t about things that my owm mother doesn't care about!!! UGH lol

For some reason, when they updated this site, my siggy no longer woks! Oh well Â

This is sooo exciting! What a great opportunity for brides... Maybe I'mm contact la Luna for my TTD in Mexico

Good luck! Hopefully, they can work something out  I have the detailed spreadsheet with what we have chosen so far. Sky deck, beach reception, Pearl package, etc. BTW I love your bridesmaids dresses! They are perfect

Absolutely gorgeous! You guys are the best

Thanks ladies for all the dress comments! You all made me even more excited about it! We're doing our ceremony on the sky deck. I was planning for a beach reception, but I'm still not sure! What did you have in mind for yours?  Awesome!! Let us know how it goes  It didn't come with the ribbon, so I'm going to buy one separately. Not sure what color yet... I will definitely PM you with all the details. Just remember that I got this dress at the Brides Against Breast Cancer charity, so it's been worn before... and it's past season. I think the style is called Bella, maybe you can find it online!   How fun!!! I think we're arriving May 2!!!! We'll be the "other" loud ones lol Â

Awesome review Wendy! I know we've told you over at the AS forum, but you really did look beautiful!

Great job! You looked beautiful

You ladies definitely have a point about the shower, it would definitely be fun to get together with my bf's ad family before theatric. I also have lived with my fiance for a few years, and we don't "need" anything either

These are gorgeous!!!

Great info ladies!!! I sent my save the dates out 11 months before wedding. I also got them on vistaprint, and downloaded a template. They were such a hit! My total cost for 100 was like $35. I would think two sets of invites would be way more expensive... just a thought!

My friends want to throw me a bridal shower, but I feel bad too!

Great ideas ladies!

Here's the dress from the runway, I'll show you pics as soon as I take some! Â Â Â

I don't know if you guys remember, but I had bought a wedding dress at the Brides Against Breast Cancer charity that I wasn't able to wear. Well, I went this weekend to another event, and was hoping to find something else and exchange the first. We ll I didn't find a wedding dress, but I found a FABULOUS little lace dress that I could wear for the rehearsal dinner or reception!! YAY  It's Monique Lhuilier and I'm super excited  Now to decide on my actual wedding dress....

Love it!  I still can't open attachments... I need to post more! Congrats on buying your dress, I'm sure it looks beautiful I get married May 6 and still haven't made up my mind lol  Absolutely! You'll see that everything will turn out ok  So sorry you are going through this. Do you have a TA that can help you search for deals? Good luck... I'm sure you guys will find something!  Â

Although it seems they allow Mexican photogs if you pay the vendor fee, I just wanted t mention that del Sol are banned from the Karisma properties! So you may want to ensure the phoog you want is allowed before you book if it means a lot to you. I was pretty disappointed with the policy.

Honestly, I would much prefer a tailor-made wedding, but didn't think I could afford it

Here are some more pics Â
