Zelda062, That is terrible. Does your potential MOH know that she will be a "fill in?" Does she have to know?? Do you really need someone to fill in? Its your wedding, you call the shots. Im sure it is a terrible feeling but think of it this way...this is the end of counting on people who you cant count on and start your new life with the man you love. Dont look back.

Rivierabride430, I had a bride who shipped her oot bags to the hotel prior to her arrival. Everything was in tact. Give your WC a heads up (how many bottles ect.) and ask her to give you a call or email when it arrives. Ask her to open the box and take a look at everything. Then again, if it is just a case you can ask 6 people to put 2 bottles in their suitcases. Whatever happens, have fun!! 

I was on a site inspection last week and a representative of Euforia was there as well.  I always admired Euforia's work but when I saw all the pics of past events they have done,OMG...I was super impressed.  Very modern and classy. 

Try www.asianideas.com...I never ordered from them but they have a ton of styles and very reasonable prices. Cheers!

Im glad I could help Kera Care cream hairdress is a great product to use (use a VERRRY light hand w/ this one) before you curl your hair. It seals your hair and gives your curls a great shine. Beautiful in photos!

Hi KristaMarie!

While there is a level of comfort doing your own make-up you sometimes end up with the same look. You can buy different shades of shadow and products to withstand the heat but your application will be the same. This is your opportunity to look like you only better! When you use a professional, you get a more precise application and your professional can shade, highlight and prime your face as a painter would a blank canvas. In my experience I have found that my brides are comforted that they can relax and let the artist do their magic while she sits and relaxes and she also looks great in her photos. Your professional should be open to your ideas and concerns but always giving you facts about what is best for you. Most importantly, enjoy this time, it goes by sooo fast

June is a pretty hot month here.  I personally am a believer in "beauty knows no pain" but many others prefer to be comfortable. What you might want to do is wear it down for the ceremony and then a super cute up-do for your reception. 

Hello whoisthemain!

I just sent you an email. Secrets Maroma is beautiful!  I will be there on Thursday if you need specific pics of the hotel let me know   

Another point to consider is what flowers are available during the month of your wedding. Perhaps you could ask your florist or WC for a list. 

As a matter of fact I just did a trial yesterday and the b2b told me that she has hired Fer Juaristi. She is extremley happy with her choice and I cant wait to work w/ him! He is a vendor here on BDW.  www.ferjuaristi.com, good luck!!

The perfect thing about your wedding day is IT'S YOUR DAY!!  I think it is beautiful and you look sooo happy in it. I have done several weddings here in Cancun and the styles of dresses range from formal to super simple. I say work it!!

Mango Productions in Cabo San Lucas.  To be honest I do not know their pricing but I know they are very, very good and have a team of photographers.  It wouldnt hurt to try www.mangoproductions.net 

Good luck!!

PS you can double up on the weft for added volume.

If any of you are planning on doing your own clip-ins here are few tips I found to be helpful :

Before cutting the weft of hair, measure where you will be applying the extensions and then cut.

Buy thick thread (doesnt neccessarily have to be made for extensions, any thick thread will do) it holds better and can withstand hairspray.

Make sure your clips are facing downwards and closed before attaching them.

Insert the thread in the clip first, then sew it into the weft (it's a lot easier this way) 

Sew in the two holes that are on each side of the clip as well as between the teeth of the clip with tension and make a knot at the ends for security.

The clips should not be sewn in at the very ends of the weft, leave a little (very little) of the weft hanging over the ends so the clips do not show.  

If you plan on wearing your hair curly/ wavy buy hair that is already a bit waved, the curls will last longer.

Have fun and do this with plenty of time so you can test them out before your big day

Very Charlotte from Sex in the City...love it.  You look like you are pretty petite so tea length is a great call  

Thank you Gabi:)  Aside from being new to Cancun I am new to BDW and I think it is GREAT. I have a full inventory of cosmetics and hair neccessities.I fly to Los Angeles every 8 weeks to re-stock and keep up on what is the hottest product out there.I have been in this business for over 12 years and LOVE IT! If you ladies have any beauty questions or need hair tips I would be more than happy to share my knowledge with you. Thank you and happy planning

You should check out Gabi w/ [email protected]/www.planner1events.com  she comes highly recommended by many.

Hi rknanuwa, I tried using my Pro card in Cancun and they were like, "computer says noooo" may be different in Playa but doubt it.  If you are just shopping, cool but if youre looking for something specific you may want to bring it. on two separate occassions they did not have what I was looking for. Cheers

Being from Los Angeles I sometimes get caught up in the bling of things but imo a hair flower should never be used if you have on a tiara.  It will be too busy and it will take away from one another.  Depending on the size of your tiara you can wear it with the veil for the ceremony and then take them off for the reception and add the flower...bam, best of both worlds

Ivan with Doremixx contact info is: [email protected]

Just saw a Wiki on here, "How to DJ a Wedding"  and thought I would let you know. Great info, good luck!

PS there is a thread under vendors "wedding cakes" hope this helps

Your WC usually has that all planned out, let her know your idea of the IPOD so she has a heads up.
