MissJali

hm

OK, thanks. Susana is my WC too.

no

Míss Jali, are you ready for some new enemies? You know that will be a big issue, I just did it somewhere else to avoid stress and conflict.

i guess every bride is different lol. I am dominican and doing it at home. I'm just inviting whoever the hell i want and my parents are in agreement (thank God). It's more so my fiance's family inviting the entire island of st vincent to our wedding that pissed me off. But my fiance shares my sentiments of keeping it small and just told his mom she will have to pay for her share of guests since we are paying for the wedding ourselves.

I really just want the diablos cajuelos. I'll have to ask about that.

 Just a heads up, from another thread im on, brides have said some of these WCs lurk the threads! LOL

Yea it's called the crazy hour. I was thinking of doing it

I personally think for the israeli wedding dresses, the best option is to go with jasminesbridalshop.com if it's in your budget. I saw a photo on their inquiry board of their replica and it was stunning!

I did my transfer through my bank and i didn't pay a fee. I have BOA

hi mrspeele! I'm getting married March 8, 2014 @ barcelo.bavaro palace deluxe in Punta Cana. and you? when's your big day?

and I'll get photos as the dress is created so I'll see the progress the entire way through

yea my mom and I agree on the vera lol. good thing is I only pay half now and half before they ship so that works.

see Cindy? I told you it was worth it! welcome to the new brides on here. I see one is also getting married at my resort barcelo bavaro palace deluxe! congratulations! so I just got my quote for my custom made vera dress, $1056 and the original is 1450. just need reassurance from my mom it was THE dress. fiance thinks I should go to that store in boston where they film I found the gown but idk, I love my vera

The trolley picks up from both sides

Hi girls, what was the average time between ordering and receiving? I just want to know how soon i should order if I'm getting married in March? When do you girls think i should order by?

SoonMrsD,

Barcelo has one as well.http://www.barcelo.honeymoonwishes.com/Honeymoon-Registry-113544-Dominican-Republic-Barcelo-Bavaro-Palace-Deluxe-Diane-Harper-Brendan-Scott.html

I'm registered at bb&b, target and macys. It's on our website but didn't include it on our invites.

So I am waiting on my quote for jasminesbridalshop.com for my Vera replica. I'm anxious for a damn price!!!

Tyrebride,

I'm ordering from www.jasminesbridalshop.com

Soooo I placed my order for my Vera replica. Awaiting the final price. I figured, 10 lbs isn't going to change my bust or waist much. I've been pretty much the same clothing size since i was 18 lol. just the weight on the scale goes up and down!

I am another newbie to the thread! I have read the entire thread from beginning to end now I have information overload haha.

 

In all seriousness, thank you all for posting so much information here. I definitely have less questions for my WC because of you guys.

 

I sent the date request form last Thursday the 15th and still await any kind of confirmation. I am doing a catholic wedding in the chapel.

 

I haven't seen this name being mentioned on the thread but the lady that responded to my first inquiry is called Daniela. Have any of you guys heard of her?

 

Any input that you guys have is always welcome. Any information that I get, I will be sure to pass it along.

Congratulations!! Welcome!!! No, I haven't heard of Daniela, she might be one of the new girls. I'm working with Susana and getting married in about 6 months. Finally getting nervous haha! For the confirmations, they take a bit to respond to you but they will. What date are you looking at?

They're on etsy. I just ordered so thats one more thing out of the way. I will order my dress tonight.

That cake topper won because we couldn't find one that looked even remotely like us and i couldn't bear to shell out $200 for a custom one for what will end up being a dust collector. and since we're always at the beach, it captures us pretty well.

No b/c she didn't have one for my resort so i based it on hers and made mine on powerpoint

so girls here is the cake topper we are thinking of. We'll probably have them paint the chairs lavender to match my scheme although the nice splash of blue is cool too.

I understand the frustration with the slow responses. I ended up calling the bodas office to check if susana has checked my e-mails because I needed my confirmation, so I can start planning. Unfortunately, she wasn't in the office both days that I called. This was last wednesday and thursday. Hopefully, she'll contact us soon! Goodluck!

I gotta interject...kellie, you're done shopping! Lol you got all that done, I guess I'm not too far behind, I went into high gear in may after the semester finished. and I looooove that bouquet!

I guess they're busy then. I emailed her a week ago too and just re-emailed her so we'll see

if that's the case, that makes it soooo much easier for me!!! how many times can I email Susana so her ass can respond?
