We actually got married on the beach by a restaurant where we had our reception. Our wedding was featured on OffBeatBride if you want to see. http://offbeatbride.com/2014/09/nicaragua-bike-wedding

I love the Atlantic coast. We went there for our honeymoon and I was actually thinking of how beautiful a wedding would be there.

I got them in Nicaragua. From a local vendor, but I bet most Latin American destinations have vendors like him.

this is amazing

I think it depends where you are getting married. I am getting married in Nicaragua and I had these maracas made for guest favors, but also to use as escort cards.

@@cubanaboliviana I love the papel picado signs you have! did you make them yourself or source them from Etsy?

I am thinking about incorporating these as well 

The papel picado with names on them costs a lot of money, so we got some wedding papel from Amols and then got just the small flags for centerpieces with our names. I made the table numbers with the date and now I have to print out engagement pictures to put in them.

Is anyone else worried about having a wrinkly dress due to the travel? I have asked all around where I am getting married and no one has steam cleaning. Is anyone buying like a small personal steam cleaner? What are you doing to ensure your dress is not looking a hot mess?

Great for the beach

Doing it as carry on and hoping it doesn't get wrinkled

I would love to see some other dresses of plus size brides.Here is mine.

Si parece que somos pocas Me voy a casar en Nicarague este julio.

Depends on where your family is from. My mom is doing something with the cake and Cuban tradition. they have ribbons and the single ladies pull them. 4 people will pull out something that means something special. I forget what they all are now

also I am using papel picado

cool, this is great. I need to get to 150 so I can dowload the template

I have my maracas and tags. Going to use them as escort cards.

I believe the lasso is where a couple puts this rope around you and your husbands shoulders and it signifies the union of the two. I believe it has to be a married couple that share a good union. I thought this was done only in catholic churches but I can be completely wrong. Hope that helps.

This is right, usually just done at Catholic churches, but I have seen people doing it at beach weddings. Why not?

I am not African American, but I plan on wearing my natural curls. The humidity is going to destroy my hair if I even try putting a flat iron on it. It makes me sad because I love my hair flat ironed with curls, but I have seen brides at the beach looking a hot mess because their hair met the elements. It’s too bad there are not more pictures online of hairstyles for NATURALLY curly hair. There are some of my favorites I found online:

I am going to be using a wedding fan instead of bouquet. Anyone doing both? My mom bought me one when I was a little girl. I still want to do a bouquet toss, so not sure what I will do exactly. Maybe I will use both.

Had an artist on etsy design my invitations. She was great. I wanted a topper at first and then suggested to her the invitations. It means a lot to us as a couple. As a Peace Corps Volunteer I learned to ride my bike with my fiance and fell a lot of times. The Bible verse is Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 ⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: ¹⁰ If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

 

Okay so these aren't the best pictures and I actually bought a dress before this and had to sell it because after seeing this I just knew it would never be the one. Going to my fitting in 2 weeks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love your dress, especially the back of it.

Here is my dress.

Here is mine. Goes with invitations. I also have cupcake toppers being made now. Can't wait to get them

I would suggest getting the maracas at the location. Talk to the planner or people at hotel. We had these made in Nicaragua with our names and date. They are gold since that's my wedding color and I am going to use it for the escort cards tie with white ribbon.

I am bringing papel picado because I really wanted that incorportated into my wedding. Also taking some things to decorate cake and cake table.

I just decided this week I'm going for it and doing them, but really I think it's just as useful to give guests a little booklet with information on the location. It's just a nice way to say thanks for coming all the way out here for my wedding.

This is going to be my centerpiece, but I'm not into the apples, so we are doing shells and sand instead. These flowers are supposed to do well in the heat of Nicaragua.

Anyone else getting married in Nicaragua? I am getting married this July in San Juan del Sur.
