ashley822 may I ask you where your bridesmaid dresses are from?

I was told the same and I am wondering which one to use. Have you heard about or seen any work from these two photographers?

Has anyone seen or had a wedding reception in the Mexican Restaurant "El Patio"? I was thinking of having my reception there instead of the beach deck only because it is a safer route in case of rain/wind and it is very festive looking and very cute:) Please let me know if any of you have reviews of this location.

Hello ladies! I am getting married June 8, 2013. I am very thankful for all of your posts on here but my emotions are up and down! One minute I'm reading not to stress that everything will be perfect, then I read another post that makes me stress! I have had my date set for over 6 months and haven't really put much thought into "planning" assuming everything will be taken care of closer to time, but I am starting to really think I will be behind and I do not want to plan everything at the last minute. Communication with the wedding coordinator is slim to none. I saw someone on here post that they received a packet for planning. Is this the case? My dad is my travel agent who is booking everyone's accommodations, but it seems like I still have to do most of the planning with the coordinator. I did not receive any sort of planning materials. I have already sent out save the dates and invitations and most have already rsvp'd. We are planning to have roughly 60 guests. Our ceremony is at 5:30 pm at the gazebo and I am beginning to freak because I was informed there is another ceremony only one hr. prior to mine in the same location. Yikes! Our reception is scheduled to be on the deck...looks nice but I am hearing mixed opinions. Any ideas for great cocktail hour locations? (If we decide to have one.) I have ordered my dress and am working on locating the perfect bridesmaid dresses. I do not want to take a bunch of things for decoration and I am wondering if what the hotel offers is good enough? I am also hearing a lot of mixed opinions on the hotel photographer and salon. Please let me know what you have experienced. I do not want to pay for or deal with hiring outside vendors so using what the hotel offers would be great, but not if it is not good quality. I know this is a lot but I have a lot on my mind and a million other questions to ask so please if you have any answers or words of encouragement please post back.

hello drc brides! i am booked for june 2013 and am very excited. comunicating with the wedding planner is a little slower than i would like but all in all isn't that bad. you have to ask them specific questions and wait a few days for your answers. i am working with my dad who is our travel agent wich helps because if i can't get an answer, he will. so i would strongly suggest working with a travel agent if possible. i have not started planning anything as i have heard that you do much of the planning closer to your date. that is very scary for me so i will just have to have faith that it will all work itself out. congrats everyone and good luck!
