I actually went dress shopping for the first time last weekend and there were 6 of us.  I invited all of my girls but thank goodness some of them couldn't come!  I found it to be totally overwhelming and not fun!  I would recommend not taking that many people.  My entourage was very supportive and nice, but I couldn't gather my own thoughts because there was just too much chatter between all of them and the sales lady.  I went back to the bridal district on Tuesday but this time by myself.  It was a much better experience as the stores weren't busy and I could gather my own thoughts.  I then took my mom back on Wed. and bought the dress.  Lesson learned= only shop with 1 or 2 other people!!!  :)

Thanks for the advice :) I was thinking of bringing 4 people along with, I might be rethinking that now, lol :)  I guess splitting them up into a couple trips might be okay :)

      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!
