Sorry for being so picky but I just loved the ways yours looked. Not too many that they were overwhelming... but enough that they were noticable.
Yep, they were 9 feet long. And i put 10 flowers on each strand. I could have made them shorter but i wanted to make sure there was enough fishing line to tie them secure to the gazebo. If you don't want them blowing all over the place you might want to ask them to tie them to the banister. And definitely ask someone to go check out the gazebo ahead of time incase they don't do it correctly.

Just fyi, i was in hobby lobby today and they had these flowers 1/2 off. They have pink (which is what i used) a dark purple and a really pale green.

Thanks so much! Unfortunatley we don't have a hobby lobby in Northern Minnesota. Hmm.. I just looked at their site and there is one in Rochester... so maybe when my dress finally comes in and I get to go pick it up down there I can try to track down some flowers!

Good point... we do have a Michaels near by. Do most flowers these craft places sell have that middle part pop out like she is talking about? I'm having difficulties visualizing what I am looking for.

We don't have AC Moore here, but Micheals here didn't have the right kind of orchids but they did have other flowers where the center would pop out. If you can't find them let me know. I'm going to buy some and mail them to another BDW bride.

I'm sure they do. I think a lot of the times they come in those attached bunches. Just go in and start looking around. You can play around with the flowers til you find them. Just pull on the stems and if they separate from the haed of the flower you are halfway there! Other than that you just need to make sure the center pops out and back in. I have seen them before. Usually they are the less expensive type of fake flowers (thank god because we need so many)!!

I think maybe 30? I have to make sure they hang them all. That way there are 10 for each side and 1 in the back. Sounds like they didn't hang all of the ones that she made :-( But I think that 30 is a good #. You're getting married before me so I'll have to wait and see what you say!! I think though that its so simple and beautiful, that its worth the time to make.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
