It has been nearly three months since our Destination Wedding in Cuba and I am so excited to finally be able to share with my fellow BDW Brides...our photos! The decision to take a Pro Photographer was an easy one, but it was made even easier when I saw another BDW Bride's (Tilly In The Sun) photos. The look and style of her photos were EXACTLY what I was looking for! Everything fell into place and I hired Toronto-area photographer Heather Windsor (www.heatherwindsor.com) to travel with my crazy group to Cuba.

 

A few words on Heather...She is beautiful (inside & out) and talented. From the moment we met her, it was like hanging out with a long lost friend. She is professional, courteous and always responded to emails and answered my questions. On the day of the wedding she was not only taking pictures, but she was also like an "unofficial" bridesmaid, giving advice on hair & make-up and keeping me calm when I burst into tears at the hair salon over my frustration that my limited Spanish was not getting through to the hairdresser on how I wanted my hair to look!

 

Well that is enough gushing...they say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so here are SEVERAL pictures from our wedding! Enjoy. I will post the Trash the Dress blog when it is up!

Thanks everyone! My photog said that there were a ton of hits on the blog posting, so I am guessing a good portion of those came from you guys! I really could not be happier with the pictures. Except that I was annoyed that there was a BIG YELLOW BANANA BOAT right behind my wedding arch. LOL. She airbrushed that out of the kissing photo though. Apparently the tourists wanted to watch my wedding from the ocean!

My girls flower girl dresses were a whopping $12.95 from H&M and I thought they were just perfect for a beach wedding. I love the photo of my two year old giving me a kiss. :)

My bridesmaid dresses were from Le Chateau and they both loved them because they are very easy to wear again.

 

Stay tuned, I will post the link to the TTD photos as soon as the blog is posted. Thanks again. I had some work to do to fit into my dress...like a lot of work. It did not even go up over my hips in October! So in the four months between October-Feb, I had to lose weight and shape up! I did it though and ended up having to get it taken in!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
