It is acutally a Bari Jay bridesmaid dress in ivory....it looks TOTALLY different on my than of the picture online..I will try and post a picture this weekend. I am glad I bought a new one. I would have been too hot in the other one that I still totally love!

Did you have to get a new one? You are about a month out, does yours still fit?

i'm changing mine too, but im actually doing it myself, there is a wide, contrasting band of champagne fabric at the top, im going to cinch it and stitch it in place creating the illusion of a sweetheart without actually changing the structure of the dress, but still adding the cleavage effect as well as making it not a straight across, high band.

 

no pics yet, tho i'll post when i do it!

You're so lucky you were able to get a new one!!

I wish I could have bought a new one too, but it was too late to return it.

I tried it on last week and it did not zip. So I'm meeting with the seamstress tomorrow to see what she can do. The girls in the boutique said that she can add some material and do a corset back instead of the zipper it currently has. I'm sure the alterations are going to cost at least $400-$500. But, I'm determined to wear it. fryingpan.gif

I know I'm going to be burning up too, so I'm going to look for a second reception dress this weekend to change into to.

Can't wait to see pics!!!

A friend of mine is getting married in 2 weeks and she had her zipper taken out and replaced with a lace up corset...it didn't cost her too much. I am sure things are way more expensive in Dallas than in Corpus though! Good luck! I bet you will be much more comfortable anyhow!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
