  1. Thanks for the ideas. We are holding a small intimate ceremony with only 2-3 guests, so there won't be chairs. AND I don't want to walk "down the aisle".... Basically the main purpose of the stakes and fabric would be to "close" the ceremony location and make it a little bit more private. So I'm not even sure if it will be worth the effort.
  2. With 2 months left till my wedding I've got a question arisen. Should I do/bring my own aisle decorations? The resort is a little bit limited in the decor available. They are going to put an arch on the beach with fabric and flowers, and the only additional deco they can offer is the rose petals for the aisle. And I don't want aisle runner at all... What I'd like to have is 3 hooks or stakes on each side of the arch with some fabric and pomanders, starfish or whatever I come up with. Roughly something like this: But I've got a number of concerns! How to bring all of this in your luggage? And how to make sure these things are going to hold in the sand? Did anybody bring their own decorations to the DW or plans to? Ideas, suggestions, advice?
  3. Ha-ha. That's 90% close to what my FI will be wearing. And in fact, we got him the Old Navy shirt.
  4. I believe a 6K budget is quite realistic, and DIYs are saving so much! I did the invitations, my bouquet and his boutonniere, my bridal flip flops, birdcage veil. Will be doing myself the thank you cards, the favors and wedding programs. What I also like about DIY projects is that you can get exactly what you want.
  5. Ha-ha! Yes. I guess Cayo Levantado just makes you want to go for something intimate.
  6. Our budget is at 5K. Who can beat that? We'll have 3 guests with us, and I'm pretty sure that's going to be the wedding of my dream. After going through the wedding of my sister with 100+ guests several years ago I realized that I don't want a big wedding at all. I just don't think spending several thousand dollars more will make me happier and make my "I do" any more special. Cost breakdown: Trip for 2 (flight + resort) - 3000$ Photography - 800$ Dresses (ceremony and reception) - 300$ Groom's attire - 100$ Rings (titanium with gold inlay) - 250$ The rest goes on hair & makeup, accessories, bouquet & boutonniere, wedding arch on the beach.
  7. All my doubts are gone now. I was thinking about launching 1 lantern to honor deceased relatives, mainly my mom who passed away just over a year ago. I was doing some research, and when many little things and hick-ups came together, I started hesitating whether it's a good idea at all. Instead I will make nice cards listing deceased relatives and thanking those who are with us. Maybe that's not as spectacular as the sky lantern, but definitely a safer, simpler and environment friendly way.
  8. Oups! I didn't notice there are 10 pages of discussions. Should have quoted the 1st post... Lots of amazing bouquets in here!
  9. That looks unbelievably beautiful!!! I like how at all comes together.
  10. Nice gesture and beautiful moment. I wanted to do something to mainly honor my mother who passed away a year ago (cancer). I think she was the one who wanted to see us having a ceremony the most! I had a blurry thought about sky lanterns, but it sounded to me like something complicated to bring with you on a weddingmoon. How do you arrange it on your side?
  11. I am using my real one too. And we are going extreme way: we'll be doing TTD right after the ceremony! We'll have only 2, maybe 3 guests with us, so I figured it's not a big deal getting wet in between ceremony and reception. And we're not planning on going really "trashy" - just some water up till the waist or so. Oh, and my dress costed me only 170$.
  12. Thanks! When I was choosing a dress I figured: since we are going for a non-traditional beach wedding, let's go for a "funny" dress. What I like about it myself is that it looks light, and from a practical side it's not going to be a hassle to get the wrinkles off the tulle. I'm thinking now that it could be just a little bit shorter, but on the other hand I like it as is and it's just not worth it going for alternations.
  13. I am starting my list of pictures to take already. Here are some of my favorites: I wish I could keep the copyright for every photo, but I picked them up from various corners of the web.
  14. And here comes my 2nd dress. The one I'm gonna be wearing for the ceremony (bare foot on the beach). It's not well seen on the picture, but it's actually ankle length.
  15. Just though I'd share. Got my dress from Denia's Bridal (hua_yi_zhang). The seller was fast to respond to my messages. It took them 3 weeks to make the dress. It's made to my measurements and fits me perfectly. I already left them my 5 star feedback.
  16. Finally I can share mine! It's a bit hard to see from the angle on the photo, but it's ankle length, so no problem with my bare foot ceremony!
