You can check out www.bigdaydress.com they have beautiful styles/selection of dresses and can customize however you want.

Wow your FI's suite looks really good!! What material did you end up choosing if not the linen?  Does it wrinkle? because that was my concerns with buying a linen suit for my FI.  How much more did it cost for the different material?  Thanks!!

Heres a pic of him in it.  Ignore his white socks- I was so excited I just made him hurry the heck up!

 

Weddings by Oceans is the BEST!!!  They literally pulled all the stops out and were able to reserve the entire plane to Panama for Toronto passengers, with my group being ~75 people!!  I was happy to know that there won't be a seat shortage and Montreal gave up all of their seats for that week only so it will fly out of Toronto directly now!!  I was sooo scared and worried but WBO are so great to work with.  

 

madged - they don't specialize in Panama but Weddings by Oceans is a great destination wedding company.  They'll match/beat any other quotes you might find from SellOff, which they did for me!!  If you're looking for a wedding/event planning company in Panama there is www.gevento.com  (Jaymar).  I'm not using her but she could be very helpful!!

I'm getting married in Panama and AT has only 1 flight every Monday from Toronto during their 'low season' ... for me our deposits cost $200ea and I'm expecting about 75+ people!  I'm having difficulities as it is with the limited seat capacity on the plane, now THIS!?!?

Happy planning for your wedding...

DITTO!  I`m booked for next May,2011 so hopefully everything is settled very quickly or there will be a lot of pissed off vacationers & brides!!!

Highschool sweethearts!!  Same age but 6mos apart!

Congrats!  My cousin had their destination wedding at Moon Palace a few years ago and it was beautiful!!  Happy planning!

LOOOVE IT!!  He has great taste!! I want one!!

I guess I'm sorta on schedule... I just went out today to find material to get my bridesmaids dresses made.  It's a start?!?

LOL TOO FUNNY but still cute!!  I'd get a good chuckle if I received one of those in the mail!!

Your passports look sooo professional!!  Where did you get the paper for the filler pages that are watermarked with that design?  Its perfect!!

Cute!  Congratulations!

Hi Amester,

 

Thanks for your suggestions! - I've already thought of the backup options of flying out of Montreal (since the Toronto flight actually departs from Montreal-Toronto-Panama, and is the reason why they are short on Toronto seats!)... and Buffalo as well, but not Ottawa or Syracuse so I'll definitely try to look into those options too! 

My TA said our best bet is to try to BUY more Toronto seats from the Montreal operations but they're being difficult, so I'm going to try that first, and I'm still hoping more Toronto seats open up *fingers crossed!!!*

I bet some seats will open up after deadlines for groups come due.  It will out work out I am sure.   

Panama is a bit different from other destinations because it's only Mondays they fly in/out. 

Hi Cindy - I'm actually using Weddings by Oceans to book our trip for myself and my guests, and am a bit upset because it was my family who were looking on their own that told me the flight is virtually SOLD OUT, and NOT my wedding company!  I feel they should have alerted me long time ago to warn me that they are reaching capacity and if I wanted to ensure my WHOLE group gets on the plane that I needed to act and reserve fast, which they didn't!  I'm still waiting on them to call me back now to figure out what's happening.

Our package is with Nolitours and the flight is through Air Transat which only flies to Panama once a week.  I've been told there are probably other 'groups' holding seats just like we are and there could be a chance that more seats open up... but when and how many is subject to chance!  I don't want to leave it to last-minute, but knowing your situation I'll definitely caution my guests not to jump and book through the US (yet!).  Thanks for your input I appreciate it!

OMG!!!  Just found out today that the plane might be fully booked already for my week in May/2011?!?!  I'm freaking out because that leaves more than half of my guests screwed with no way to get there since flights only leave from Toronto 1x/week!!!! 

WHAT TO DO!!!!  I need some sort of back up plan?!?!?  Do I change weeks? or the Destination???

Tina - have you thought about posting it here in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum?  I bet a lot of brides would pay good money if the dress is right, btw what kind of dress is it?  I'm looking at similar one strap/flowery styles too!  What dress did you find today?  (I found the Pronovias Fauna to be very flattering!! but still haven't purchased)

Wow!  Those tiny roses must have taken FOREVER to make and arrange into the heart-shape.

Love the personal touch with the Xbox and shoebags!

Love these!  I might have to get these for my bridesmaids/MOH gift!! 

AWWW!! I need more points!  

I thought of the same idea too!  I think it'd be really cute... my wedding's gonna be in Panama so I'm going for the Spanish flare style!

Hi Jen!

I'd love to see some of the pictures you have of the beach/garden wedding. (my email is: [email protected]) Thanks!

It looks like we might be at the resort at the same time! I plan on being at the RDP during May 23-30th. Which tour operator have you booked with?

I also have some of a wedding that was held while were there. They had it on the beach.   We chose the garden for our wedding because its a little more secluded and we found that people were walking in front of the beach wedding getting in the couple's video and pictures. Also we are having our reception at the sushi samba restaurant which is also more secluded and also has a pOol right beside it. if anyone would like to see any pictures let me know and I can post some or email them! Thanks, Jen

Are there any companies out there that offer Destination Wedding insurance for brides outside of US? I am from Canada and would be interested in obtaining a policy for my wedding, but all my research is proving that no one out there covers this?

Any Canadian brides out there have any other resources?

Crap its blurry.... and small! Its not that small in Powerpoint?

Test #2? *I'm such a noob! LOL*

Sucks!! It didn't work!! *womp womp* I'll try again........
