Hi there

OMG are you kidding me Jess?!?!?!?! $1000 plus 15% tax? That price better be in pesos!!!!!!!!!!

We had two medium sized but very elegant floral arrangements with white lilies and some other stuff. If you send me an email (I think you have my email already?) as a reminder, I will forward you a photo of my floral arrangements that we used. We paid $75 per arrangement, plus 15% tax, so about a total of $175 with the tax. We had the flowers on white column pedastals and they looked really nice.

$1000 US is RIDICULOUS. Are you planning on filling the whole church with flowers? Or are you dead-set on using all orchids? Those are the only reasons I can think of why you might have been quoted $1K. Why don't you post some pics of your church where your ceremony is going to be and we can help you figure out how much you actually need so it looks decent without spending so much money. Honestly, oftentimes in a church, less is more when it comes to flowers. And there are tons of ways to do floral arrangements cheaper than you think, still using some of the flowers you want.

    • 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!
