Hi everyone, I am going to chime in with a bit of unsolicitied advice! Hope that's ok....I love threads like these!

 

DH and I loved everything about our wedding, and we did do some things that our family questioned (like learning a choreographed first dance, making our own truffle favors, etc.) But in the end, those were the things that we loved about our wedding. So, if something is really important to you, do it. Don't worry about what other people have done in the past, or what people think you should do, just do the things that actually mean something to you. That, IMHO, is what makes your wedding special. And if you just want to throw traditional stuff out the window and hang on the beach with your friends and family, do that!!

 

The best weddings I have attended were the ones where the bride and groom's personality showed through - and those were also the ones where B&G looked happiest!

 

Oh, and try not to stress out too much the day of the wedding. smile41.gif Allow more time than you think you will need so that you aren't rushing around - nothing is worse than a tight schedule! (Been there, done that!) Oh, and at the reception, take a moment to just stop and look around at everything and everyone. I love remembering being at dinner with my new husband, and just looking around the room taking it all in, thinking "Wow, I can't believe we're finally here, and finally married!" Yes, I really did that. I'm such a sap sometimes. cheesy.gif

Do you by any chance have a picture of the floating flowers in the pool I want to have an idea of how much do I need to buy..
You know - I don't. Also, the candles blew out! When I asked my husband if that was something we could have not done, though, he said, "no - I really liked them" so he must have noticed them! The real big impact factor, though, is having the candle bags line the perimeter of the pool. It's beautiful

-Additional prints

-Albums for parents (we bought them 10 inch digital photo frames and loaded them up with photos from the wedding instead and they LOVED them)

-Hair and Makeup

-Manicure/Pedicure

-Spa appointments

I'm really going to go bankrupt!! When you do the sand ceremony is that included in your WC price or do you have to pay extra for that stuff? I swear it's the little crap that drives me crazy. Like in traditional weddings that take place at home, people buy unity candles, and the knife for the cake. That is so annoying to me! Uggh who wants to be bothered with those minute details.

OK - here are mine (I just found this thread and literally read all 11 pages straight through!):

 

1. In the end was it worth all the money?

2. For those who are non-AI how much was your bar tab at the end of the night?

3. (For those people who bought expensive dresses) In the end was it worth it having your dream dress or would it have been just as good in a cheaper version (too late for me! but just curious)

4. What is the minimum # hours someone should hire a photographer?

    • 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!
    • 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!
