Hi Yvette! I feel the same exact way! My date is July 6 and I havent heard from Cecilia in 2 months. I am so beyond stressed out right now

Hey everyone!! I was wondering whether any of you had heard from Cecilia in the last couple of weeks? I know sometimes it takes awhile for her to return emails, but i'm kinda concerned. In our last email exchange she informed me that there will be a wedding ceremony in the gazebo (two hours) prior to my reception in the grassy area beside the gazebo....aaaahhhhh!!!! I really think the events will be way too close to one another. I asked Cecilia whether the other bride had a reception or anything else planned after the ceremony(cocktail hour, etc.) but haven't gotten a response. I've sent three "concerned" but NICE emails over the last 2 1/2 weeks but have yet to hear anything back. I've getting really anxious now. Have any of you experienced this? Am I overreacting? I just don't want myself and the other bride to have to compete for spaces or to "step on" each others events. I'd hate for her cocktail hour to be on the beach at the same time as my wedding ceremony. Or for my loud reception music to overshadow an intimate reception, etc, etc, etc...I know, my imagination is probably just running wild!! Can any of you offer any advice? Oh...and would any of you happen to be the other lady getting married on July 6? THANK YOU in advance ~Steph

Hi LolaTX! Could you please send those music clips my way as well? Also, I noticed you are from Houston! I'm a Houston-area girl too Did you guys fly out of IAH? ~Steph

Hi Rachel!! Welcome to the site!!! I'm pretty new to the website too and I've also found the ladies here to be SOOO amazing and helpful!! THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCES I've been using Barbara ("Babs") to facilitate my trip as well. She has been extremely helpful and everyone in my group just loves her! You are in good hands Good luck with the planning! ~Steph

Thank you so much!

It sounds like it so so amazing!!! So happy for you! I am also thinking about bringing table runners (for the circle tables) to add some color. I don' know what size to order though. Can you advise? Also, will the tables seat 6 or 8 people? oh.... and did u have to pay for open bar in addition to the reception cost or does the per person for dinner include booze? Sorry!!! I'm having a rough time nailing down details with Cecilia Thanks in advance for any advice

I would love to handle it the way you did. Can you please send me his contact information? Thank you!

OMG!!! That topper is too cute! Good find and thanks for sharing

I just want to say a big THANK YOU!!!! Your directions are awesome! I am in the middle of making mine now

Absolutely stunning!!! Great job! Can you tell me who you used as your florist? And did any of this come in the package you purchased from SMB? Thanks a bunch!! ~Steph

Hi!! I don't know if it is bad etiquette to ask this or not. If so, please forgive me. I'm pretty new to the site and was trying to see your templates. I think I don't have enough posts to see the pre-travel brochure but was interested in taking a look. Could someone please email it to me at [email protected]? I have booked SMB for July 6, 2013 and am trying to get alot of these projects knocked out prior to classes starting in the fall. Thanks a bunch and I look forward to chatting with you all!! Happy Planning!! ~Steph

Also, check ebay and amazon for the tiny starfish to drop in the bottles. I found 200 for $6

I ordered both glass & plastic to see, and I agree, both look excellent. I actually like the plastic better!

Is anyone else considering getting married here? Maybe there's a thread out there, but I just can't seem to find it. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks a bunch

I'm looking into the same thing. I have to ship most of mine (about 40). Does anyone have any feedback regarding the quality of the plastic vs. glass?

I am so excited to be working with you guys next summer!! You are so talented!!!

Welcome! I am also new! There is a TON of info posted in the other threads, you just have to search a bit. Congrats and happy planning!!
