Hi Ladies!

 

I just wanted to write this to share exactly what I'm doing for my wedding/reception. I'm hoping I can share my ideas and also ask your opinon and get more ideas with everyones help! I will say I never thought I would be a DIY bride but since I can't really afford a theme I'm making my own. (BTW - I'm not very talented in designing and putting things together so any advice I would appreciate)

 

I'm getting married at Sandals, Negril July 31st, 2010 at 2PM. I have 34 guests. I am doing a 3 hour reception that evening. I am keeping the Beautiful Beginnings (BB) Theme.

 

I have verified with my Travel Agent and Wedding Coordinator that I can bring my own decorations for the wedding and reception. They will set up all my decorations. It's $250 to set up for the wedding and $250 to set up for the reception.

 

I am bringing my own bouquet of seashells. I'm still looking for one for my bridesmaids that will look ok with this one. (What do you think?)

 

Etsy :: Classic and Simple Hinewai Seashell Bridal Bouquet

 

Here are the links to my dress and my bridesmaids dresses. They have 2 dresses they can pick from in the color Sweet Thistle (Lavendar)

 

My dress

 

Athena - by Maggie Sottero

 

The bridesmaids dresses

 

Wedding's dresses - silk chiffon - Silk chiffon Taryn dress - J.Crew

 

Wedding's dresses - silk chiffon - Silk chiffon Sophia dress - J.Crew

 

We will be getting married on the beach with no shoes and flowers in our hair.

 

I haven't decided if I want to pay the $250 to decorate the ceremony or not. But if so this is what I'll do.

 

Bring seashells to line the aisle. I've found these on ebay and other places for pretty cheap.

 

Bring these flowers for the aisle.

Violet Je t'aime Rose Petals Freeze Dried TOSS & WEDDING AISLE BLEND 5 cups for $12

 

Put this type of bows on the chairs (only organza bows, not chair covers).

To keep the guests cool we are getting these fans and parasols.

 

Paper Parasols, Asian Wedding Favors, Bamboo Gifts

 

Personalized Silk Fans, Silk Wedding Fans

 

For the reception we have a local seashell store here and I'm going to pick out some bigger seashells and place them on the tables.

 

I also loved the paper lanterns in the Flutter of Romance theme and am bringing my own in 3 shades of purple.

 

50+ Colors of Paper Lanterns - Luna Bazaar

 

Next this site is awesome for decorations and very cheap.

 

Wedding Decorations

 

I'll also be adding some other things such as menus and thank you gifts.

 

We are also doing a Welcome to our Wedding Weekend gift bag with sunscreen, bug spray, chap stick, etc. and passing those out at the rehersal dinner. But we have changed our rehearsal dinner to be a welcome party.

 

I have added pictures of our wedding invitations. I got them from Ana De Roux.

 

Thanks for reading! :)

The fans that I posted they actually engrave your names on it, or whatever you want it to say. Here's a link to my dress.

Here's a link to the lady's website that did my invitations. She also makes invitations that look like boarding passes.

O, that's even better that they engrave the names on there for you. Maybe i'll have to change to those fans :)

      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!
