May 2010 Brides!


Recommended Posts

I just found this post! :)

 

I'm a May 5, 2010 bride as well! We're getting married in Varadero, Cuba.

 

So far we have booked our trip, reserved our hall for our Jack & Jill and are working on selecting our bridal party (we were having issues since none of our friends are commiting to coming). I've also purchased my wedding dress! FH has designed our save the dates so now we're finalizing our guest list and will be printing them ourselves shortly!

 

I feel so behind!

Another May 5th bride - yay!!! I don't think you're behind at all - so far we have the resort booked and save the dates mailed, but that's pretty much it! I've done a ton of research and I have a pretty good idea of what I need to do/buy, but now it's a matter of actually doing it. Next major item on my to do list is the dress!!

I saw the discussion paying everything for cash and we're doing this as well - paying for whatever we can along the way!!!

Glad to find all of you girls! :)

Well I still need to go shopping for a dress, but I do have a photographer hired. At least one more thing done and out of the way woot.gif

Oh we have our photographer hired as well :) He's an old friend of ours and is giving us a great deal. Engagement pics, wedding day & a trash the dress session for $800 + the cost of his trip. Amazing deal :) Gotta love friends.

 

I just sent off the final surprise gifts to ask the rest of my girls to be bridesmaids.

 

We also just decided to have our At Home Reception...at home! LOL Hall rentals were insane and I can't justify spending that kind of money. The destination wedding is supposed to be skipping all of that nonsense lol.

I agree, you're not behind! Because if you are then so am I wink.gif haha!

I have been going through the dress dilemma, I didn't realize it was going to be so hard =/

That's so awesome! I kinda did the same thing - it's not a close friend, but we went to school together and now she's a professional photographer, and she just LOVES doing destination weddings! She's giving me close to the same deal you got. She's doing the rehearsal dinner the night before (I don't know if we'll do an "official" rehearsal dinner, but I'm sure we'll do something as a group), the entire day of the wedding and my TTD session for about the same cost. Plus, I feel so much more relaxed because it's someone I know and not some random person. This was a big stress area for me, but I'm so excited that it's taken care of :)

    • 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!
