Hehe it's a second cup. I believe it's either beside Claire's or EB Games. :) I bought my gym bag in there. Some good items and decent prices. I go to cross iron way way to frequently. We just live to close :)

I FOUND IT!!!! Totally got lost!! LOL... These threads are hard to keep track of, but I found my way back!  :blink:

 

@@calgarybride2015 i am so very sorry for leaving you high and dry about the shells! How could I have forgotten!

Still have anything available?!  :unsure:

 

I also wanted to let brides know that I found an alterations place called "Chinook Alterations" that is SO CHEAP!!! Originally I was going to have David's Bridal do all the alterations on my dress, but it was going to cost over 500$ and my dress was only 699$ so I was like HECK NO! A friend of mine who just got married Sunday in Vegas told me about this little Italian guy who owned this shop and he is magical! Says he does wonderful work and can fix anything! So I dropped my dress of there.... I am having the zipper taken out of my dress and a lace-up back put in (so he is adding fabric so my skin doesnt show through the ties) he is putting a sweetheart neckline in....a bussle (sp) hemming, taking in the dress and fixing any beading that needs it.... grande total for the cost of the alteration....185$ SERIOUSLY!   :D  He is the cutest little man and I highly recommend him!

@@breezie wow!! that's an amazing price!! I'm paying $300 for my alterations, but too late haha. I think my brother might have stopped by there the other day to get a suit pant hemmed. When he told me how much they charged me it was a really good deal! (ps: maybe not, he got it done at the mall in Chinook)

 

I'll let my mom know, since she has to get some alterations done on her dress.

Hey!  No I don't, sorry :( We moved two weeks ago and anything I knew I wouldn't use again was donated.   

 

That is a great cost and since you can back up their work, you are set to go! I remember being overly nervous when I brought mine to a small place in Beddington that wasn't a bridal store. I also couldn't justify the cost of David's Bridal. That said, I still paid $325! I thought I was getting a steal, you stole the show!

@breezie Have you got the dress back yet? I'm really curious to hear how it goes. I just got my dress this weekend and the first set of alterations is going to be done by the end of the summer, then I get to keep the dress from there on out. I'm worried because I still want to lose 10lbs before my wedding and I'm worried I'll have to have it taken in again so I'm hoping this little shop you found works out so if I need a second round of alterations I can go there.

    • 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!
