I think she got it from Macy's last summer on the sale rack, so probably not available anymore.

Thanks.
 

 

Here is what my mom wore:

This is what my mother-in-law wore:

They are linen button downs. I believe my husband bought everything from islandimporters.com or something like that.

Are they just regular white buttom downs, or linen button downs? We tried looking into guayabera's (mexican wedding shirts) they're pretty pricey if they are good in quality. You can find them cheap, but I dont know if they're well made. So , still undecided...

They were slightly wrinkly in those pictures, but my husband had his outfit steamed at the resort for a couple bucks. At most like $10.

Here is what my husband and groomsman wore and we did bouts.

He wants to wear linen pants (tan) and a white shirt, which I love the look of (we are going simple), and GM will probably be in something similar. It doesn't matter to me whether it is long or short sleeves. Would it be weird to have them wear bouts even though they are so casual? I think it might work but I am really not sure. Any suggestions?

Here is my dress..

I just bought one roll and it was enough.

I had started at noon with a pedicure than had my hair and makeup and was done about 2:30pm for a 4:30pm ceremony which seemed to work well. I didn't have my 2 bridesmaids get their hair done until 2pm and they still needed to do their makeup afterwards so that ended up being a little rushed. I should have done 1pm for them considering the timing my photographer wanted to maintain.

I have no clue lol, past brides what have you done and brides to be what are your plans?  I will just have my MOH, no other bridesmaids, want to get some pictures done before the ceremony but there's only so many photo ops with 2 people. 

Any advice? 

 

 

Oops, meant to say cut and they are $40.

I used this website to purchase my fabric for the gazebo. It was 40 yards and fit into a suitcase just fine. They caught into the two panels for me at the resort. They are limited on colors but happened to have mine. I know there are other sites with the organza fabric rolls too.

Thanks everyone!

I was married at Azul Sensatori in Riviera Maya, Mexico. I would imagine most resorts that hold weddings would rent vases if asked.

I wonder if my resort rents vases, we found great ones for $2 but I would almost rather pay the $5 and not worry about bringing them down!

Husband and my rings.

I used DJ Doremixx for 38 guests and it was worth it! I ended up having him play for 5 hours for less than the Lomas DJ for 4 hours and he was able to do all the introductions and play any music people requested. I will look and see if I have any videos of his style. He blends the songs together so it sounds awesome and everyone in my group loved it! He also gives out props such as balloons, masks, glow sticks and did cold fireworks during our first dance.

I rented vases for like $5 a piece from the resort. It isn't the cheapest option but beats having to bring down.

I sent my WC an inspiration pic with the limes and they just did it.

They were real limes.

This was my inspiration except for with purple flowers..

This is what I got from the resort (Azul Sensatori)..

Their version of purple flowers is pink! oh well..

It all depends on who your WC is.. They typically say $5 per person but that depends on how much other stuff you have too.

Yes, with white chair covers and white bows unless you bring/rent others.

These are some pics my cousin took.. I will try to write a review this weekend with more. Overall, everything went really well.

Here is a better picture of the reception table.. we were going for purple flowers but they turned out pink.. oh well I guess!

Here is some pictures of how the set up is at the wedding and reception:

I did fans for my recent wedding. I can send you the word doc if you'd like where I broke up each petal.

I really don't understand why it keeps doing that to me! ahh.. anyways I did have Ivan and my reception was at Zavas Plaza. I just told Ivan to do the cold fireworks and never told the WC myself about them.
