I had to go ahead and purchase another Groupon which I will finish up buying my t shirts.

 

Speckles, great job!  How did you do that?  Did that include shipping?

 

Once I get all my items I will list it on here  in case it can help someone else.

Id love to see photos please!

Thanks so much. An orchid is actually what I was thinking. Do you have any photos of it to post please?

I initially was going to wear a real flower but the more I read on here the more I worried that it would wilt. I ordered a flower from Butterfly Enchantress on Etsy. It just got here today!

I saw the etsy site . . gorgous items. Can you post which one you purchased. How is the quality. Thanks!

Im concerned about using real flowers because they will wilt in the humidity . .  did anyone wear real flowers? I think they look better, but hate for it to look bad after a few hours!

There are SO MANY EXTRAS . ,  it seems endless. I think having a solid couple grand for 'incidentals' is smart!

Just an idea....I actually got a united chase credit card....30,000 bonus miles just for getting the card, plus we had some miles....and we are using it every month to pay our bills and racking up more miles....lol so if you use to upgrade to first class one way then you can check all bags for no fee!  And I don't think there is a limit.... Also check united frequently once you book.  Sometimes they offer upgrades for a fee.....last time we went to DR we were able to upgrade for $125 each and our tickets were a great deal to begin with soooo it was totally worth it!  

We had the exact same idea. . racking up TONS of miles which is nice. However, it is still an additional $375 per person to upgrade our fligths to first class. AND, from what I read from their website, it is only a total of 3 free carryons (up to 70lbs) per person. . . For a two hour flight for us, seemed much more economical to give $40 cash to members of our bridal party to take an extra bag each . . . PLUS you must consider the $300 max value per person Mexican customs allows.

BUT, we will use our United Club Passes the day we leave.. Arrive at the airport early and relax with bloody marys!

Congrats...all of your ideas were awesome!

I WISH I had done as much research on our website as I have done on everything else. I am not very happy with the layout and overall look on theknot.com  Weddingwire.com looks much more impressive. Its too late to change it though . . I lalready have my guest list imported and RSVPs rolling in via the site. Oh well. Hopefully other brides to be can learn from my experience!

I was wondering if anyone had incorporated a "breaking of the glass" into their ceremony? I am trying to figure out how to word that.

We are doing 'breaking of the glass' at the end of the ceremony.  My fiance will bring our traditional TEXAS cowboy boot to do it. We are having an interfaith wedding!

It was actually purple from www.weddinglinensdirect.com. I ordred samples of several colors that looked similar online and the purple orgnaza matched perfect! And they are only  .56 cents each!

That was our invite and then the black and white photo was our envelope seals.

THANKS FOR ALL THE PHOTOS . .GORGEOUS, and I feel much better about the resort spa now!

You totally should! They were really easy and fast to do . .a bit intricate, but actually fun.  I plan to wear them and my bridesmaids!

Does anyone have any photos of their hair and makeup from the resort spa? I am most likely using them and would love some ideas!!!! Thanks for sharing

I LOVE These!! I am going to try and make some too. Thanks!

My bridesmaid dresses came out to right under $200 with tax (and my discount since they were bought at same store I got my dress). I thought that was WAY too much to ask, so I paid $100 towards each girl's dress. They will most likely all need alterations too, so I am still feeling kinda bad about it, but the dresses are gorgeous and am very happy with my choice. Harder to choose their dresses than mine, LOL!

We are using a travel agent for Secrets Maroma Beach Resort

3 nights all inclusive double occupancy with flights runs about $1200 per person with transfers and insurance.

Depends on where you are shopping . .but the boutiques I went to both had undergarment options on site for me to try on with the dress! My dress is in, YAY, and my first alterations fitting is end of August. I will be bringing a bustier type bra and a regular strapless bra with me, and a tummy spanx . . but I am hoping the alterations girl can do some magic and sew in cups and make me look skinny and 'perky' without hot undergarments. . . . to be continued, lol!

GORGEOUS!
