I purchased a custom-made designer replica gown from China and am waiting for it to arrive (it was shipped from China today!). I should have it next week and we'll see if it's good enough to wear. If not, then I'll use it for a trash-the-dress photo shoot the day after the wedding. I haven't picked my colour theme yet though! Have you? Are you doing the reception at the Blue Lagoon? Thanks for the info about Ricks Cafe. Hopefully we can get there by catamaran instead of by bus!

No, they haven't sent any photos of it yet and they said that they don't do that. They do, however, communicate very well so far and tell me that the dress is looking good. That doesn't really mean much until I can see the dress for myself. When it does arrive, I'll make sure to take photos and show you. You can view the dress here: http://www.polyvore.com/inbal_dror_2012_my_dress/thing?id=64432847 I did get them to alter the design though so it'll look similar but with some minor tweaks. Fingers crossed!

We're from Ottawa and will by flying out of Montreal. 1/3 of our group is flying in from Toronto, 1/3 from Montreal, and 1/3 from other countries. We will have 50 guests in total. We haven't thought too much about day trips yet but will likely have only one excursion to either Dunns River Falls or Ricks Cafe, depending on which one is closer/easier to access. We will only be there for one week (September 17-24). That's pretty exciting that you'll be there for two weeks! Lucky guests too!

Hi everyone! My Inbal Dror replica is almost done and will arrive next week! I purchased it from enjoyweddinglife on DHGate. Has anyone else purchased a dress from them or heard anything about them?

Hi Ywilliams! How exciting that we'll be there at the same time and getting married so closely together! Congrats to you too! I did get some details from my wedding planner about the rehearsal and bonfire ideas and here's what we've decided... The night before the wedding, we'll have a "rehearsal dinner" of sorts at one of the buffet restaurants for all the guests at no extra cost (as you mentioned). The night of our arrival (May 17), we'll do a bonfire on the beach. The cost for the bonfire is $500USD for 45 minutes. The tables are high tables with chairs (cocktail style). Beach cocktail open bar $6US per person / per hour and with appetizers $15US per person / per hour. If you want the rental of the music equipment, the cost is $150US and you could play your own music. Are you doing any other activities during your wedding week? Maybe we can share information and ideas or potentially pair up our groups for an excursion to get discounts?

Hi ladies! I am getting married at the Grand Palladium Lady Hamilton on May 21, 2014! The information you've already provided has been really helpful - thanks! Some of you have mentioned that you had a welcome dinner. What venues did you use and did the dinner double the cost of your wedding? I have 50 confirmed guests (will likely have 60 in the end) and would like to have a dinner with all of them. Also, did any of you do a bonfire beach party? I heard that the resort might not do beach bonfires anymore but I'm not sure. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and have had a lot of fun reading this discussion forum! I'm just waiting on a modified design/sketch from enjoyweddinglife for an Inbal Dror dress. Has anyone ever purchased a dress from enjoyweddinglife? If so, how did you find the quality? Customer service? Delivery? Any input or feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
