I should also add that my dress has detailing at the bottom that I want to show off. Since I am definitely wearing heels during the reception, I need to wear them at the ceremony too so the dress will look its best (and me!). If your dress doesn't have detailing at the bottom it would be easier to get away with having it hemmed for heels but then not wearing them for the ceremony, although I agree it looks a little frumpier. They also have heel "wideners" you can buy that are clear plastic pieces that slip onto your heel to make them bigger - makes them easier to walk in but would also make it less likely they would go through the mat if you didn't want to wear a wedge. You could take the wideners off during after the ceremony (or leave them on since they are clear).

 

I like the idea of maybe a wedge though, although I haven't seen any that are "formal" - I'll have to look!

OH - I'm going to do a blog on this (I promise I promise) but one of my brides had a beautiful ring anklets she wore with her dress on the beach and then changed into heels for the reception. She looked every inch a beautiful elegant bride and I LOVED it - just beautiful! Here's an example: http://jewelrystalker.com/wp-content...gbluepearl.gif

I agree...I always pictured wearing some amazing heels or wedges. I think I'll be fine with the wedges since they put some type of rug down. Thanks for all the suggestions!!

I just wanted to update all you guys on how the whole shoe situation turned out. I wore 2 1/2 inch wedges and never had to even look down they were so comfy and not a bit wobbly on the woven mat. Most of my bridesmaids wore heels since they felt frumpy in flats. One girl even wore 4 inch spiky ones!!! Needless to say, no one fell but they were looking down a lot just to be on the safe side. Plus, when they got to the front there was no mat so everyone sank in the sand!! :-)

    • 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!
