Hi Ladies,

 

I would like to purchase about 40 chair sashes. My colours are cream and green so either one of those would likely work. If they are green I am looking for a light/subtle colour as opposed to a forest/dark green.

 

Thanks!

Hi! I have green ones but can't get rid of them till March. And they're probably too dark for you ("clover"). What's your budget? Elegant Perspectives - Buy Wedding Chair Sashes, Bows, Ties - Canada & USA has some for fairly cheap and since they're based in Canada you don't have to pay duty on them, just tax. Which might be cheaper than paying duty on the wedding linens direct home page ones which are a little cheaper pre-duty. Good luck!

Those links are great! Thanks so much for the tip

I'm in Canada and am having a destination wedding this coming February

Resorts charge a ridiculous amount of money to rent chair covers & bows! Bringing my own will save me so much money! And, since I'm only having 12 people at my wedding, it shouldn't be a huge problem to pack.

Oh not at all! I just took 100 satin chair sashes to Canada and back and it was NO problem! Folded in their packages they barely took up any room and not even quite half after I packed them away after the reception.

I just ordered 40 sashes from weddinglinensdirect.com and they were about 80cents each. cheap cheap but be careful when ordering them. If you can, get them to courier them to you through fed ex or any company other than UPS. UPS charges a brokerage fee (which they don't tell you when you order) and charge it to you COD...again which I didn't know... so as of right now, my sashes are here but I haven't been home either attempt to deliver and they want $14 brokerage fee for a $40 order.. apparently you can argue this and they will lower the fee, but WTF?? It should be on the website or something.. otherwise I would have specified a different company.. guess I got off topic there for a minute and vented instead of helping! sorry about that.

Well it's not really the company's fault. That will happen ANY time you order something that's coming from outside Canada. It's a customs/government thing, not a company thing. It also depends on how it's being shipped (UPS verses USPS). It's something all canadian brides on here don't necessarily think about. My fiance knew of this so we avoided shipping anything directly to his parents house in Canada. His mom ordered her dress from Nordstroms and also had to pay a customs charge (and flat brokerage fee for UPS). Like I said, it'll happen with ANY company you use that's not Canadian...

Thanks for these links, this thread was really helpful! This seems like a silly question but are there any major differences between the satin and organza sashes? It seems like satin may be a more common choice but I wasn't sure if the there was a reason for this. Also, are the sashes wrinkled after being in their packages or can you just take them out of the pacakges and use them right away?

I used satin and just took them out and used them right away. The only "wrinkles" were just the fold lines which didn't bother me at all. Satin is a heavier material than organza is. I liked satin because I think it's a nicer evening look - whereas organza would be my choice for an afternoon event. Organza is a bit see-through like chiffon. Just it kinda just depends on what kind of look you want and if you want to spend a bit more for the satin ones. Here's a link to an example of both:

satin: http://www.eventswholesale.com/catalog/sashes_satin.jpg

Good luck!

      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!
