Congratulations! We had the light up dance floor and it was awesome. We found chair sashes online for cheap and brought them with us... saved us a ton of money, and they were happy to put them on for us. They do have them available at the resort too, if you want to save the hassle and aren't as concerned about budget. Same goes for centrepieces... they have a few options available, but we we able to make our own for much less money.

We got married on day 4... I think that you need a minimum of 2 days at the resort before the wedding, but it was nice to have it later in the week. It gave us time to get used to the resort and all of our guests plenty of time to relax and enjoy their vacation, and we loved being able to have our last night out as singles in Playa del Carmen!

We brought our photographers with us, but my husband was very picky about photography so there was really no other option. It was nice though, having them there the entire day. We have pictures of us getting ready, pictures of the ceremony, reception, and the next day we did trash the dress. All of our photos are amazing and it was great for us to be able to meet them and get to know them a bit prior to the wedding.

We want to bring our own centrepieces... I've made them and everything, we just aren't sure about transport. Other than that, we will be bringing chair ties and favours and that's all. What about you? Our airline charges after the first bag, so it's tough! I'm hoping to take all of my younger brother's suitcase space... they are teenagers, what do they really need to bring besides shorts? Haha.

Our wedding is April 12! Just before you! My fiancé and I are both very particular about photography.... as we both take photos ourselves. We are flying down our photographers and they are taking photos in exchange for the vacation. Certainly a big expense, but we trust that our photos will be amazing and avoid paying the outside vendor fee since they will be staying at the resort.

I'd originally planned on just bringing down my own fabric to have the exact colours and save the money... I was told there would be a $150 fee to have it set up, and eventually decided that bringing it would take way too much space! We are still trying to figure out if we are going to pay the extra to have it decorated, or just stick with the chair ties to bring out our colour.

We have our ceremony booked at Central Beach and beach reception! Time is flying!! Our wedding planner Ana is great, she always responds within the day we email her. As for decorations and vendors, we are just starting to dive into that process.. who knew there were so many details involved?! Good luck, let us know if you decide to be a GPR Bride as well!

Hey ladies!! I got my dress from Giannarbridal a few weeks ago but finally got around to taking photos! I was waiting for somebody to help me do up the back (it's a corset back) but got too impatient... so excuse the fact that it's not completely fitted, I just held it for the photo! lol. It's still a bit wrinkly from being shipped, but overall I'm pretty happy with it!

I received my dress from Giannarbridal a couple of weeks ago... they did a great job!! It's exactly what I'd asked for and fits perfectly. Looking at some of the inside seams it's apparent that it's not a $1500 dress, but from the outside it looks great and I'm happy with the results. I'm going to TRY to get a photo posted ASAP, but the fiance is always around and I can't tie it up myself. Haha.

I've been creeping around this thread for awhile pondering which site to use. I finally ordered a dress from Giannarbridal and I just received the email this morning informing me that my dress is done! So excited!! The original dress: The knock-off I'm not too picky, so overall pretty satisfied so far! What does everyone think? I'm considering asking them to add a bit of beading, but I have no idea where or what pattern, I just want a bit of sparkle.. opinions?
