  1. Hi, Haven't heard from you since last week.... Just waiting to hear back from you so we can arrange pick up for flowers. THANKS! Can't wait
  2. Does anyone have anything that the coordinators have sent you about the flowers? Did you wait until you got down there to pick what you wanted or do you let them know ahead of time? I got the original upgrade package that comes with an extra flower arrangement but not sure what to expect. Have any had luck with swapping out red carpet for petals? My wedding isn't for 5 months but I'm having a hard time envisioning everything..and trying to make the most of the decor and fake flowers I buy so that I can use it for the AHR too. This budget is getting more and more stretched lol Does anyone know where to buy cheap marracas online? I know they are probably cheaper when I get there but dont think I will have time to go to town before hand. Also, just wondering about the booking 25 rooms special someone mentioned....I have over 25 rooms booked and was wondering if anyone knew of a contact I could email to see if I can be eligible for any discounts on the wedding package. Thanks ladies!
  3. Oh Im getting married December 3rd at 2pm!! We will be there at the same time!! What section is your group staying in? We are staying in the Whitesands. We also are hoping for the pergola...we wanted a 4 oclock wedding too but it was already booked - im sure 2 will work out fine though
  4. MyTye2B Honestly it doesnt hurt !!! Most of my clients fall asleep on the massage table. I play spa music and it usually happens lol. A pad sticks under your lower lid to seperate lower lashes ... Thats probably the weirdest feeling of the whole process.
  5. Hi Ladies, just some quick note about eyelash extensions to answer some questions I saw some of you post... I am an eyelash technician and if done properly you shouldn't feel them at all. They shouldn't feel heavy and shouldn't damage your natural lashes. I read how some of you were able to remove them with baby oil...if it was done with quality glue and done right then oil would not work to remove them. Over time oil could break down the bond but not in one shot. They are really durable and you can swim, and sleep, and wash your face like you normally would...just avoid oily makeup remover or waterproof mascara (most people don't wear mascara with them anyways) and keep your lashes dry for the first 24-48 hours. Also, read that someones eyes were very sensitive and watery after they took their contacts out...please take your contacts out BEFORE getting them done as your eyes are shut for 2 hours and it will definitely cause irritation and dryness for your eyes. My suggestion would be to make sure you consult your technician about length and thickness so that you get the desired look you are looking for. If done properly they should shed slowly like your natural lashes and most come for fills every 3 - 4 weeks without them looking too sparse. I would recommend getting them done about 4 weeks before your wedding...then again on the week before you go away get a fill. They will be thicker then the first set put on and it will give you time to get used to them and make sure you like them. I love them for vacations...not mascara and your eyes pop all day long. Ill be getting them done for my wedding. If anyone has any questions about them I'd be happy to answer them. Just send me a message.
  6. Loubellou thanks so much for your post. I like those ALOT better! Are you happy with the size? I thought the ones I had picked might be too big
  7. Hi girls, I wanted these waterproof phone bags for my guests as I figure they could use them on excursions for their cameras/room keys/tip money. I am trying to get a wholesale deal on these though as they are $1.60 on ebay. The supplier messaged me back and said for 100 I can pay $1.00 each. I was thinking of giving 1 per couple so I really only need 40. Does anybody want to split this order with me?
  8. I act I actually found them by accident last night without seeing this thread... at the end of the healthcare isles just on those vertical hangers
  9. Do you have any of those orange chair sashes left and if so how many?
  10. Times for wed d Times for wedfings are either 2:00 or 4:00. We wanted 4:00 but that was booked and being they only do one at a time we had to choose 2. No biggy though
  11. Some resorts have their own booking policys but try large tour operators such as transat/nilitours - we used transat 90 day booking pre booking window of $150 person. Rest of trip is due 60 days before departure along with final name list. They were great!
  12. Hi l Hi ladies, I dont know how big of a chain recently went to Bud Gowan (budgowan.com) And they had a sale on for $199 that came with two piece suit, dress shirt, tie, belt, and pocket square. (Reg. $450-$499 just for suit) we got a greyish-brown colour. We thought the light suits dont always give enough contrast in puctures (esp. Bw pics) the colour we picked matches well with whites and ivorys and compliments bright colours of bm dresses better than the tan suits in our opinion. Linen suits wrinkle really easy and seem to be very expensive...these suits seemed fairly light. We also bought groomsman dress pants from there (2 for $60 sale) in the same colour as FI suit. They are modern fit and look sharp with the guys linen white shirts. Id recommend that store as really affordable.
  13. Hey Ladies, Grace wants me to confirm all my locations for December wedding. I was going to do a cocktail party after ceremony before dinner to kill time but as some of you mentioned I cant justify paying for cocktails when they are included especially since i dont know how many of the guests will actually go since some may do their own thing. Anyone that had been there do you have a good bar to recommend i put on itinerary that could acvomodate 50 people? I was thinking the emelia bar since it seems close to pergola and nice to watch sunset on the beach but wasnt sure how big it was. Any insight would be appreciated!
  14. H Just wondering if you had any luck adding a beach bash with the normal silver renewal package or did you have to upgrade to a Karen Bussen package to be able to add this on and was it $1400?? The only one I have so far been able to add is cocktail party around las rocas (half beach half salt water pool area- looks beautiful but bonfires arent allowed at that location so just waiting to hear back if adding the beach bash is an option. Also, anyone whos been there know what the best buffet to do wedding dinner would be? I have a choice between the one in the kentenah section or one in whitesands and just wondered if one was noticeably less busy. We originally had portfinio booked but have 56 going so now we need to change it to buffet...hard to justify a private 2 hr reception for $60 a plate... When the point was for it to be more cost efficient than a wedding here. Any advice from anyone whos done a buffet option?
  15. I have also been sent the new packages if I wish to change it but are the Karen Bussen packages an additional fee or do you think that fee replaces the original one? I too don't like the set colour schemes. I think Palladium should offer some kind of incentive for hosting weddings with them. I am over the 40 guest mark now so I am very stressed about not being able to have my dinner at an a la carte. I can't afford to pay 50-60 per person for dinner and am already having to pay $20 per person just for the ceremony on top of wedding package so its adding up quick. Gah! I think I am going with the original vow renewal package I picked. Grace has sent me the bouquet examples I can choose and the other items like bridesmaids bouquets seem to be priced a bit better. They don't seem to have outside vendor fees so what about going with the original package and seeing if there is any rental companies in the Mayan that would be affordable enough to bring in a few things that your fiancé really likes?
  16. I wouldn't wait for prices to go down. The way things work now the travel agents have advised me that they mostly just go up for groups....last minute deals are more for people who are traveling in small groups and flexible to where they go. I got a group rate held for 90 days from Transat and they have a price drop guarantee plus the Palladium offers "Early Booking Date" discounts of about $250 a person. My wedding is in December and with transat, the suites were already all booked by February in the Whitesands area. Also, planes book up quick. I tried getting a group booking for November back in January and the flights were pretty booked up already for holding large group spots on the plane. I ended up having to move it to December. Basically my main point is I would recommend getting quotes as soon as possible...Palladium is a pretty popular resort.
  17. Would any of your bridesmaids be willing to sell their dresses? Where did u get them?
  18. Chrestena I think a belt would look FANTASTIC. I tried a dress on like this and the seamstress brought over one about 1 1/2 inches thick and it just finished it off so nice. That dress is gorgeous though either way! I know what you mean about hair up or down...probably going with half up "waterfall braid to keep hair from blowing but still romantic and flowy. Have you got your bridesmaids dresses in yet? I am also doing coral and am going with a similar style in mind...perhaps a long style as some of the girls hate their calfs lol?? Are your guys wearing suits? I have linen shirts so far but think the groom may wear a jacket so hes a bit more formal.
  19. Oh that's good to hear that Rocio said its possible. Since I have her assistant I think she just may not be as familiar with the options. I also didn't know about the Friday Beach Bonfire. That sounds so fun! I had read about the Monday night White party. I think I may have to put it out to the guests to pack something white. So excited and it seems so far away! Good luck planning!!!
