Hello! My husband and I took our extra stuff down to the Grand Sirenis in large storage containers. WestJet only charged us $20 per container which I thought was reasonable. Happy wedding planning! Chantel

What a unique dress! It fits your beautifully! You can tell you love the dress - you're glowing Quote: Originally Posted by martap7 Went in for my first dress fitting this weekend, I just am in love with this dress...has to be taken in and have to find the right bra for it due to the back being so low, but I cannot wait to see it when its all said and done

Although I do love the mermaid shape, I think the flowers dress is gorgeous! Such pretty details on that dress!

What a good find! You'll be a beautiful bride! Quote: Originally Posted by SkyHighT100 So I completely lucked into my dress. A coworker of my Aunt was about to give her dress to Goodwill. Knowing I was engaged my aunt sent it to me. It was amazing and so much more than I could have afforded at a bridal shop. We are getting married at Ponce Inlet Beach next month so I knew the train just wasn't going to work. I took the dress to a local seamstress and they worked some serious magic!!! Not wanting to let the beautiful beading of the train go to waste they made a new modesty panel for behind the corset and a shawl incase it gets chilly. I am SO excited to wear it in just 26 days!! I'll be sure to post better photos after the wedding, these were from my moms cellphone. Model photo: Original back: After alterations:

Oh also! Getting my engagement photos done on Sunday (2 1/2 months before my wedding - running a little late on this one - lol) - any ideas or inspiration that anybody feels like sharing? Chantel

Random question: I am just wondering how you ladies put the footer on your messages, where you've added sayings, countdowns, links, inspirational stuff that gets posted on the end of your messages? Thanks!

It's quiet on here today!

Happy Friday Ladies! Hope everybody has a happy weekend ahead of them

Wow, our resort asked that we have all the details/decisions regarding our wedding made by 3 months in advance - they're actually waiting on me! That's too bad that you're having troubles with your coordinator, that adds to the stress!

Hello all! Just thought I would say hello! I am getting married at the Grand Sirenis, but then my fiance and I are going to the Now Jade for a honeymoon - it's an absolutely gorgeous resort. Can't wait to hang out on the hammocks! Anyways, happy wedding planning Chantel

Hi! I found great cups from 'Save a Cup' - I thought they were reasonably priced.

Hi Jenn, BEAUTIFUL DRESS! This dress has such a beautiful shape and simplicity to it and for that reason, I would say go without the bling. However, the bling is very nicely done, nicely placed so that it balances the dress and fits in the dress' design very naturally so going with the bling is a good option too! Love the flare at the bottom of the dress - my dress does that too though so I might be biased! Good pick

Absolutely stunning! Love the TTD! I am happy to hear that your dress washed out in the shower - sounds like things couldn't have worked out better

Hello! All of the dress shops in my city were telling me that the dresses take 6-10 months to come in. I ended up getting a late start, but thankfully my dress came in with plenty of time. My wedding is in November. I ordered my dress in March and was told it would be in in October, but it came in in July! Have fun shopping! Chantel

Yasmin, Your wedding looked absolutely beautiful! And you were a gorgeous bride! Thank you so much for sharing your pictures and your review with us! All the great feedback is so helpful in planning! I am happy to hear that everything went really well - I was a bit worried about the timing of the day, and about the bbq buffet, but sounds like everything was smooth. I'll be sure to ask for the chocolate sponge cake, as I am also a chocoholic. It sounds like the wedding coordinators were really reasonable to deal with and do a really great job, so that's also good news. Congrats on your wedding! Chantel

Hello! So happy to hear that your wedding was amazing! Thanks for the feedback regarding the lobby and the WiFi - much appreciated! Were both of the lobby bars exactly the same or would you recommend one over the other? Thanks! Chantel

I always thought it would be cool if I lived in Ontario or British Columbia to have a winery bachelorette party. Do many of your friends do that?

Yay Mrs TobeD!

Yeah, I have heard that shipping to MX doesn't always work out so well so I guess that's why I was wondering how most people get their stuff down there. Are you just taking a bunch of luggage? Or passing some items to other guests?

A welcome speech! Good thinking, I didn't have that one on my list. Sounds like you're well on your way - very exciting!

Very beautiful dress, Jenn! Love the flare in the skirt.
