Calgary Brides!

Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

 

Well it has taken me a couple of days but I have finally finished reading all these posts (good thing it has been slow at work wink.gif. So much great information on here! So I'm not technically a Calgary bride (Red Deer shhh) but I did get my dress at Ethos in Calgary. FI and I are getting married at the Bahia Principe in Jamaica, February 7th, 2010. My TA is through Flight Centre and we are booked with Nolitours for the package. I still have to find bridesmaid dresses but it's already getting late in the season, so if any of you ladies have recommendations that would be great.

boo...i say Go For It! i don't think the ladies are going to be sitting there comparing the quality of their pashminas. :)

 

ashley, welcome! sounds like you are well on your way! are you looking at getting bridesmaid dresses just at a regular store instead of a bridal store? hmmm...maybe have a look at le chateau? they usually have little dresses all year - but it depends on what colour you might be looking for. something summery might be a little more challenging. good luck!

I came across this site

Discount Pashmina Wedding Favors Gifts

I cant even tell a difference between these two options, I am hoping to get another 6 or 8 to have 1 for each lady guest (minus kids) thoughtshuh.gif
I wouldn't worry about slight differences. If all the pashminas were the same color it may be noticeable, but since you have 3 different colors I doubt anyone will notice any small differences in quality :)

Boo, before you order anything... I'm not sure if you checked out the Pashmina store on 7th ave? I haven't been there so I have no idea what their prices or quality is like, but someone mentioned the store to me last week. Since they're local, you could compare colors and quality and maybe even just pick up the extras you need from there :)

It's on 7th between Centre and 1st St, right across from the train station. It used to be an arcade. It's funny because I look at that store every single day waiting for the train and I couldn't tell you what it's called!

    • 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!
