Hello DW Brides!
I am getting married at Azul Beach on May 4 2014 and am counting the days at this point. We booked last October (2013) and I have been planning ever since. In regards to the Sheers post my FI and I debated between buying/renting and bringing our own with the set up fee. To be cost efficient and convenient we ended up 'renting' 1x white sheer at $100 and 2x large flower arrangements to be hung on each side of the Gazebo. The flowers cost $140 total and will be much nicer than the second sheer for only $40 more. I found a sample set up picture that I have given to the resort so the 1x sheer looks the best it can without the 'partner' sheer. Also- my wedding coordinator put in a request that the flowers be delivered to our dinner reservation (no private reception) for decoration. I have done a lot of research regarding this resort but we are having a very small and simple ceremony so I have only researched in depth the items we required.
We are also having a at home Fiesta celebration about a month after we get home and inviting 100 people... it's become quite an event itself. I feel like we get to have our cake (small ceremony/wedding in beautiful tropical place) and eat it too (celebration with all of our closest friends and family).
