We are going on a site visit at the end of this month, so I am taking the pictures as well as the round placemat and ribbon for color samples. I am going to see what they have or what I could purchase at Costco when I'm there. The round placemats and sea glass are no big deal to pack, and the flowers and limes will be in Mexico, so the glass vases are the only thing I would rather not take.

 

I'm also using these at my AHR, so I will have to get the supplies at some point.

Hi brides!   The centerpieces should be one of the focal points of your wedding day not only because they represent a great decorative item, but also because you can wear your style all through them

Is there a sticky where everyone can post their centerpieces? If not, is this something that can be done? I would love to see what people have done! Thanks

So far my idea for centerpiece for DW is to use these 8" strafrish in the center of the table with possibly fishnetting under and some votives around. Simple but elegant. I think that flowers will overwhelm it? What do you think?

my other thought was to have the 2" starfish as placedard holders aka favors, placing the placecards on the top of the starfish so that it rests there- the placecards I am thinking of making luggage tags. Too much?

I just got an e-mail from my WC at DReams. She gave me some ideas (which sound beautiful) and they seem fairly priced. Each one is only going to be $30. So I am having like 5 tables. I think $150 for everything is good, and I don't have to carry anything, or ship anything before hand which can be expensive.

Why are so many doing it on their own?
I completely agree - I already have enough to do and bring with me, the last I need to lug around are centrepieces.

We are going with the MP offering _ they have many beautiful selections to choose from and are very flexible in creating what you invision.

I WISH centerpieces were only $30 each at our resort! :-)
I know I'm looking into bringing my own b/c centerpieces at our resort START at about $70 and those are the bare minimum. Anything more than the minimum is closer to $100 each. I'd rather stuff a suitcase with stuff:-) Plus, it gives us a chnace to personalize it more...
BUT, if they were only $30 each, I too would just go with what the resort is offering...

I completed agree...My centerpieces were running at $200.00 at Dreams, Cancun. They offered me these teeny weenie little things to place in the middle. Nothing I liked. So I decided to just make my own and ship them to Claudia 2 months in advance.

Hey CancunBride...
Have you already shipped them...? (sorry I can't remember what your wedding date is...)...If so, was it expensive...? What about getting them through Mexico customs...is that a problem, IF you know...? :-)
I'm thinking of doing this too...I was just wondering, if they're heavy, it might end up costing more than just getting the resort to do them smile41.gif

EDIT -- just saw you're not getting married til May '09 :-)
But maybe someone else has shipped stuff and knows if it's super expensive or not...?

Im shipping abut 10 pomanders made out of silk flowers and several empty boxes to sit them on, they told me it would run about 60.00 which to me is perfect. Shipping them in December.

If only I was that organized..Sighsmile43.gif

$60 is nothing! I would have totally done that...but I need them there by Dec. 7th, so I guess I'm stuck forcing my friends to pack some heavy items:-)
I went and bought the stuff yesterday...and will now have to hunt for some small boxes and packing material so they don't break in transit:-)

      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!
