Very pretty, but totally insane pricing! If you love the dress that much, check with a seamstress to see if they can make it! Also, I love that bracelet, but you might be able to find someone who can make something similar! Check etsy and find a seller you like and send them a pic!

 

I just realized that I ended every sentence with an !, but that's cuz I really do like the dress and bracelet, but they are too expensive. Unless you are purchasing them for your BM's, but even still, WAY expensive.

Carly! I love the dress too! wink.gif

 

Yeah the dress is definitely not in my price range, but I am going to see if I can find someone who can make something similar. I don't want my girls to have to pay more than $150 for a dress... I think that dress is so expensive because it is 100% silk and... is technically a couture party dress.

 

I'm pretty sure I could find a girl on Etsy to make a cuff similar for me.

 

Aye. Big dreams. :)

wow, that's more expensive than a lot of wedding dresses! tbh, I think that if you're buying the dresses you could definitely spend the money in better ways, and it's definitely not fair to make a BM pay that much! I'm sure you can find something similar that's much more affordable. There are a lot of talented seamstresses out there that can duplicate pretty much anything too (sometimes the result is even better than the original) so you definitely have some options :)

    • 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!
