    Soft Ivory alencon lace over a silk shantung lining with a semi-sweetheart neckline. Very flatering!

    The silhouette is a very comfortable fit-and-flare. Looks wonderful on and makes your waist look really small.

    The train is chapel-length with a scalloped hem that is easily removed to shorten if needed. The dress is really easy to move in!

    I have 30 days left exactly and just received my final PO last night thankfully.

     

    Anyone have location suggestions for rehearsal dinner and meet and greet?

     

    How about telling my guests to just meet at the sunrise swing bar for the meet and greet? good or bad idea?

     

    Also are people tipping their wedding planners and photographers and djs. how much?

     

    Thanks ladies, cant do this without you

     

     

    Curly -

     

    I had my guests meet at swing bar and we had no trouble getting reservations for 23 that night and the next two nights we also had big group dinners never a problem and wih a big group they give you a waiter so it is just like a private reception.

     

    We tipped our WC and her assistant $75 because she gave us two extra day passes for random people who booked the week of the wedding at other resorts, she looked the other way on my flowers...since I got Marvin who is fab! She also gave me instead of the complimentary bouquet, white pedals for our guests to throw at us. Super nice of her.

     

    Del Sol worked things out so I didn't have to pay the vendor fee, we got them two day passes and I think we forgot to tip them :-(    Talk to Del Sol hopefully they can work out a deal with MP for others because my photos are fantastic!!!!!!!!! Coordinator also set up my decorations for me at the cocktail and dinner but I didn't have much. We danced in the dance area and it was fine, the guests (and the place was full with the dream trips) let us have two songs on the dance floor alone!

     

    Check out Del Sol's photo's of our wedding!!! http://delsolphotography.com/blog/content/galleries/?gal=803

     

    I posted my stuff for sale too if anyone is interested.

  3. My moh didn't go, we are all dressing up for the at home reception as well so she will get to be in some photo's then....

     

    400  The tucan beach setup is right behind the gazebo....   FYI  :-(

     

     

     

    400

    Here is Tucan Gazebo set up for our ceremony....hubby wanted hats  yuck...

     

    400

     

    Our complimentary cocktail hour at the tucan terrace, my family appreciated the shade. We had a mariachi trio, it was great.

     

    400 Get the Carriage ride, it was fun!

     

    400 Dinner at Arrificies was great! The staff was a lot of fun with us....

    400 If you want to buy stuff, take the shuttle to Beach Palace and the shops at the mall are WAY cheaper.... we got these, the mariachi hats, cuban cigars, christmas ornaments.... tequila.....

     

     

     

    The disco is still under construction, we took over the piano bar later..... It looks like it will be awesome with nice seating!

  4. We are in the middle/northern part of Nizuc Tucan was quite a walk from my moms nizuc room. For our group our rooms surrounded bungambilla nizuc is pretty big. Tucan gazebo is right by grand and we got golf carts there no problem but to dinner no one showed. A few things. I had Del Sol photog and had Del Sol get it oked so I just needed two day passes. Wasn't an issue once here. I say don't ask just book. I had maya floral and so Zaray gave my guests flower pedals instead of the bouquet for me. Again no questions. Currently I paid for wedding stuff via the faxed form but the billed our account as well. I have two days to figure it out. Zaray said she would help and I spoke to my Funjet rep Charlie who has taken care of everything We had a small party but Zaray set up my very simple decorations free because she is really nice if you are nice to her. We had sashes and small vases at the cocktail hour. We brought lots of five dollar bills and tiped everyone and by day 5 they know our names and treat us well no one has had anything stolen but we use the safe for everything. I have had a bunch of massages. My family didn't use most credits. When you are here and book stuff they give u a yellow slip - I just keep having friends and family book it for me and give me yellow slip We had friends at sun palace they loved coming over on the shuttle. That covers my concerns from before I came here! Complaints: our points were messed up day 1 but got fixed, our first two rooms were bad. Broken safe/door/no AC. But we got moved. My husband golfed four times and LOVED it. Tours were all full anytime we tried to book but the resort was full for 7 of our 9 days. Our guests were mad. Book first nite. Discuss your credits before last day... In case of massive errors. :)

    Maria Fernanda Vivar

    TEL. 1.877.25.49.333, EXT. 1106

    [email protected]

     

    She sent me a welcome email with some menus attached as well as a huuuuuge checklist which looks a little overwhelming!

     

    Girls,

     

    I got the same checklist and I filled in as much as I could. It took some time but they said that was how I reserved my locations. For about 2 weeks I heard from Clarissa daily, now I think we have everything set she is just waiting for me to pay for my extra crap. [email protected] she seems great, no complaints! About 35 days out I heard from Danielle [email protected] she set me up with the check list and gave me contact information for everything.

     

    I am struggling to hear back from Marvin at the floral place. I told him what I wanted and on July 6th he said he could do all that, I haven't heard from him since...does he do a contract or something in writting or anyone have a similar experience? I will stop worring then.....

  6. Well, I have had nothing but good things from the Girls in Cancun. Two have been emailing me, they are great. Miami told me I had to get Del Sol a room, those girls said he just needs a day pass- So don't ask about the room thing, just have Ael at Del Sol deal with Cancun if you want Del Sol Photographers.  They emailed me the contacts for Golf, Salon stuff and had me do a spreadsheet of what I wanted....they are really on the ball in Cancun so far for me ladies!

    Yes, the Cancun on-site office is getting their own wedding department because I think the feedback for the Miami office is so horrible, I guess they are starting their own.  Kalena, who was my wedding planner, actually got a promotion while I was there and she is going to be working in that new office and no longer as an on-site coordinator.  I didn't even get to see her again to say an official goodbye before I left.  She did a wonderful job for our wedding, and hopefully this means that for future brides your pre-planning will not be such an awful experience.  But yeah, Kalena will be in the new office as of this weekend.

    I just thought I would share that I never once dealt with the Miami office after setting my date, I lucked out and got 3 or 4 girls who kept getting fired... Now Daniela and Clarisa both in cancun have emailed me my check list and are super easy to deal with.  Also, my photog sent me this email....so i'm not saying anything and we will see what happens. Although I need 4 day passes for guests ?

     

    Hola,

      No worries, we've already sent the Palace Team a list of all of our mutual weddings and they are aware that you've hired us and therefore only require a Day Pass.   As we get closer to your date we'll confirm all of the final details with you and Danielle.   Saludos,

  8. Oh my two weeks and I missed 100s of posts! Had our secret wedding this week!!! Now fi(h) finally has insurance, can go to dr. And dentist! Beatriz told me no contract since our ceremony is symbolic. So I hope I get locations I requested! Does anyone know what the say at ceremony? My only DIY so far is making bouquets. I figure I have plenty of time to practice. http://www.etsy.com/listing/79435144/paper-flower-bridesmaid-bouquet-purple?ref=cat_gallery_15 I wonder if I can sell mine after for ridic price on etsy?? These flowers are super easy to make if anyone wants easy lightweight decor! Invites have been out for two weeks and only FI family has booked :( Can't wait for pics from those of u who just got married! Congrats!

  9. Thank you for the responce, I have a photographer already. I was told I could when I booked but now am being told I can not use my dollars towards anything wedding related unless I get a $3,000 Colin Cowie wedding package. I am not happy that I will be expected to pay 1000 cash now for a few small options and two room nights for the photographer. I could barely afford this trip, we did 9 days to get 2000 resort credits which seems like a waste now. This is the exact opposite of what my friends experience getting married at Moon palace was.
