Let me know if Ana or Yazmin answer you about the beach decor. My TA is going to email her also. I have found sating chair sashes for .50 each and I am just going to buy them and take them because she charges $5 a chair. I'm sure that the stuff other brides have left will just go in their decorations and she still charges for it I am interested in finding out about the beach thingy though because I would love it to be covered in orange and pink instead of white

As for the petals, I have read on here that many people go to the walmart or sams in playa and some small mexican groceries to pick up live flowers (MUCH cheaper) and pull the petals from the those the day of or before. I think that is what I'm going to do. Of course, you have to hope they will have the colors you want but at least you can cut costs that way. I was told that a past bride left her orange and pink decor with Ana to use (including the arch cover) but I'm not sure if I want to bring my own or not just because of price. Her chair sashes are $5 and I've found them for as little as .50 to buy. I am going to have my TA contact her and find out what she has for sure before we go down there. I have also heard about doing the flowers from walmart so that is what we may do

We are planning on having the white satin chairs on the beach, with alternating orange and pink sashes. I am going to put orchids on the back of the chairs (kinda where the bows tie). I sent Ana a picture of the exact setup I wanted and she said she could do it. I also wanted flowers in the sand on the beach and then a pink and orange decor for the four post thingy they put in on the beach. We are having 39 people coming with us so it isn't too huge but not tiny either. I haven't decided anything for the tables for dinner yet though. I am still thinking of what to do for that. I want something really elegant. I think I will do hurricane vases with flowers and candles in them. Something simple but pretty. The price of our wedding just keeps going up... We are not doing anything once we get home so this will be it for us. What are you doing?? We are doing the white chairs with alternating chair bows. (are u using Ana's or taking ur own?) I've got fans with tears of joy tissue packs attached to them that will be put in the seat. I also want a TON of orange and pink flowers or petals on the beach! I'm hoping I can negotiate the price because $22 a bag...hello! We want the actual beach set up to be draped in orange and pink material instead of the white. And, we're going to have petal cones hanging on the chairs so ppl can throw them after the I do's. And, I've got pink and orange parasols that will somehow be incorporated. We're doing the free package so just hitting the resturant and bars after the wedding. We have already spent so much money on our AHR that I'm a little overwhlemed. Thank goodness for my daddy!

Which will probably irritate me just a bit I am a very punctual person and things not going on time kinda frustrate me. but oh well OUr wedding colors I think are the same as yours pink and orange. OUr guys are wearing ivory and chocolate. I am getting so nervous with it only being 3 months away, but the sad thing is it will all be over in 3 months and a week So I'm trying my best to keep that in perspective. My fiance and I have been dating for 14 years so I've waited a LONG time to plan a wedding!! WOW! 14 years...thats a long time. Me and my fiance have been together for 6. I'm so excited for the wedding! I've just got a small group going with me so our wedding won't be anything fancy...just me and him on the beach just the way I want it! We're having a large AHR when we get back so that will be alot of fun. I'm doing my TTD session on the 28th so I'll be in the ocean and pool FUN! FUN! Are you having a beach or gazebo wedding? Our wedding is at 4 also...I hope it is somewhat on time because I have Claudia as my photographer and only have her for 3 hours so I really wanna get pics afterwards on the beach! What are you doing for decor for the wedding?

Bag is cute but pricey! Check out vista print!

Thanks for letting us know! Going there 2morrow!

What time is your ceremony starting? Also, what are your wedding colors?

bump! Would really like to sell these!

Thanks for letting us know!

Ok, so I've seen past brides on here say that they left their decor items with Ana. Does that mean we can use them? Think she still charges for the use of them? I'm so confussed! LOL!

That is the color scheme we are going to use also. So, you left the material with Ana...does this mean she will have it for the other brides to use? I would hate to rely on her having it and then get there and it not be available. How much was the flower piece on your arch? Your set up was beautiful! Can't wait for my big day! Thank you for sharing your pics...looks like you had a perfect day!

Also, on the preview of my tote, it shows a small www.vistaprint.com on the lower portion. Did anyone else see this or did it show up on your bags?

How did you upload your logo on the bag without having to pay extra?

thanks for the heads up...will be going there tomorrow!

I did clarify with her that she meant only us (the marrying couple) has to purchase the wine (because we're not asking our guests to pay for upgraded wine when they're already paying an arm and a leg to be here with us!) And she said yes, so long as you spend minimum 60$ on upgraded wine. I'm excited..havn't seen pictures.. but I hear that its sort of private and romantic. =) Hope this helps anyone looking for info on the wine room! What package did you get for your wedding?

Quote: Originally Posted by AlisonJimmy Sure, No problem!! Let me know if you get it. I am sending it now. Thank you! I did receive it!

I would really rather sell them all together just to get rid of them but if I don't sell them as a set in the next week or so I will consider breaking them up.

I have keepsake journals that were never filled out. They are really sweet and would make the perfect personal gift to your bridesmaids or maid of honor! You can check them out at Lil' Angel Gifts- Gifts so personal- they'll CRY! ...all occasions. I have 2 "For My Bridesmaid" and 1 "For My Maid of Honor". These books are $24 a piece and I am selling them $50 for the set (not including shipping). I will also throw in a "Our wedding keepsake journal" that hasn't been filled out except for the front with our names (it can be removed with white out). Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks! I accept paypal only you can PM me or email at [email protected]
