November 2011 Cabo Brides!

[JenK]

Hi everyone!

 

Just wondering if there are other November 2011 brides that are getting married in Cabo! I'm booked at the Riu Palace for 11-10-11!

Congratulations! I'm getting married in Cabo the day after you!

Congrats to you too! How is the planning going? I have the reception booked and just sent out save the dates and booked a photographer.

Oh and I'm just about to order my dress!

Oh I started the thread so that it was specific to Cabo! So I just changed the title to be more specific!

Thanks!! The planning is going well. I sent out the save-the-dates, set up an info blog for my guests, purchased my dress and shoes in December, have a ceremony and reception site reserved, found a photographer, and am working on getting a florist. Waiting on the menu for the reception and looking for someone to do our cake. Will begin working on my invites this month - a DIY project. Very excited!!

WOW you are so organized!!!! It took us FOREVER to decide on location and so we didn't decide until January. So the last month has been a whirlwind!

I can imagine what a whirlwind things can be! Congrats on finding your dress! I thought that would be one of the hardest things considering there are so many beautiful dresses out there! Are you going to post your dress on one of the threads in the forum? There's one specifically for Cabo and one general.

 

Well, I'm a bit OCD about minimizing stress for myself cuz I've already got enough of that to deal with. So we're trying our best to be on top of things. It's a good thing that my fiance likes to have things planned out (more than I do) so he is helping me with contacting vendors. It didn't take us long to figure out where to get married because prior to getting engaged, we always talked about DW. I told him how much I loved Los Cabos and on our way back from the trip where we got engaged, I was looking at a bridal magazine's travel section and they talked about how November was a beautiful time in Los Cabos. So I showed it to him and bingo! Decision made. And things just fell into place with the reception and ceremony venue, so we were fortunate! 

 

Plus one of my friends who just had a DW in Hawaii told me that it's better to do as much as you can up front so it's easier on you later. I'm definitely going along with that piece of advice!! I didn't realize there's just sooooo much to think about and plan for, yikes! But it's fun, most of the time.

 

Have you decided on colors yet?

I haven't posted the dress yet to the Cabo dress thread because I'm trying it on this weekend and deciding! There is another November 2011 brides thread going under brides roll call (under chit chat corner). I posted it there for opinions. Let me know what you think!!!

 

I agree, getting on top of things has been fantastic for me as well! I am deciding on the dress this weekend, and I just booked hair and makeup at Suzanne Morel's salon. She sounds fabulous!
