    Thank you. My WC took care of all the centerpeices, I cannot imagine lugging all of that with me. To be honest though, it was easier than I thought taking all the boxes. Two of the boxes were pretty much filled with starfish so they were light. DH, MIL, godmother and myself each took a box and my mom took the carry-on (we were all fortunate to have booked before the extra fee for the second bag).

    What kind of flowers were you thinking of using?? My FG's each had a small pomander with green buttons and they were about $25 each. The pomanders in our centerpeices were carnations I believe. We paid about $65 for each centerpeice total.

    Are you using a florist from your hotel?? I remember Anny (anacgarcia) hired her own florist who did an amazing job in Cancun.

    edit: I found her florist http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t8589-2

    No not half, just a slice on the bottom of the ball so they can sit on a small surface. Are you planning to use real flowers? If so, I think they will be heavy. The florist will most likely soak the floral foam in water to help keep the flowers fresh.

    If it is true, scary. However I wouldn't seclude myself to my resort. Mexico is beautiful and just like any other place, there is always a chance of some sort of "danger". I live went to a beach concert in Santa Monica the other day and as my group walked back to the parking structure, there was a shooting. So please don't read this and freak out.
