The only thing I would think about is the first one , what kind of material is it made out of?  I think I would be too hot in it.  I mean I know I am going to be hot in any dress, but it looks satin or taffita.  The other one might be more flowy and airy.  But which ever one you choose will look amazing!

 

The first one is taffeta.  I tried it on after a few satin dresses and it was much lighter, but definitly not airy.  Some of those dresses were so heavy!  

I'm always hot to begin with so add a heavy dress and I'll be a sweaty mess, haha.  

 

Still waiting to hear back from bridal store about getting the sample of number 2 in.   

 

Thanks for all the words of wisdom ladies, you rock!

I hear you, girl. I am also curvy and 5'3 and once I saw the wonders the corset could do i was hooked. (and i'm in a heavy satin dress but i don't care! lol) I figure the sun will be down 1.5 -2 hrs after my ceremony and then it will be relatively cool outside next month. I have to practically wear stilts though because FI is 6'6 and a half! 

 

 

 

 

Corsets are AMAZING!!!   Whoahhh 6' 6" get those stillettos ready, haha.

Your wedding is next month already?!?!  Wow, it's so close, how exciting!

I definitly don't want the red aisle runner.  I'm going to ask them to remove it and just have flower petals sprinkled.

I looked at ordering one of those custom monogrammed aisle runners and brining or shipping it down, but I decided not to.  It wasn't worth the money to me.

I would prefer to just do flower petals as well, but I am worried that walking in heels, it may be easier to walk down the runner..? I might be way off in that assumption, I just thought that when I looked at the pictures of the walk way it looked kinda cobble stone like..?  Either way, I am with you Lisa...I am not really into the red. I know they have different color runners because the pictures I saw of the beach set up for a ceremony they have different colored runners there....I think I might either bring my own or ask for a different color.

By the way are you bringing a steamer or what were you thinking of doing for it?

 

Also to all ladies did any of you save a seat for the photographer at a table or no?

Oh crap!  I didn't even think about the actual rehearsal!  I have been more worried about where and how much a rehearsal dinner will cost.  LOL

That is super strange they don't do a run though.  When I went for my site visit there was a yoga class taking place in the Royal gazebo...

They did have chairs already set up though for a wedding they were having that day, so I'm sure at some point it should be free for a run...

 

I don't want the red aisle runner either!  It will clash with my colors...but if they forgot to take it away or something I won't be too upset.

 

I FINALLY ordered my STD's from Vistaprint last night!  I got the free priority shipping and they said they would arrive by next Monday.  If that really happens, that is freakin awesome!!!  I need to get them out asap!

 

Happy Monday y'all

Lisa - I was just looking at your wedding page ( so cute btw!!) and I realized that we are moving onto Cozumel also!!

 

Where are you guys staying when you go there? We are actually staying at this tiny little hotel that I found on TripAdvisor. It is like the exact opposite of the Royal, but I think it will be super romantic and I am excited!

thanks ladies I added a seat for the photog to and a meal

 

so Runninbride got her dress steamed and said it was fine so I am just going to go with that I was just nervous that they take it away but she said after 24 hours to call and check on it.
