welcome to the august brides thread bridget! post some photos for us and let us know how else we can help!
Thanks Maura! Hopefully I'll get around to posting a few pictures over the weekend after I get my "info packets" done. I definitely need some jewelry inspiration so I'll be sure to post a picture of my dress as well.

For now I'll post a picture of our invitation. We had discussed just inviting a few close people by word of mouth (especially given the short amount of time between setting the date and the wedding) but my fiance was afraid of offending people so we did invites and sent them to immediate family...about 25 in all which wasn't too bad. The invites were either matted on blue or brown cardstock and then put in the contrasting envelopes. After I did the invitations and started looking at flowers I changed the colors to chocolate, bright pink and green and got rid of the blue...oops! cheesy.gif

Maura--I don't understand how you're being charged to have the flowers changed when you weren't the one who goofed up the order? I hope they turn out okay for you this time!

 

And I got a chuckle out of the program story...sounds like something my sister would do!

Um... huh? We seriously have good FSIL stories.

So, I'm looking at what's left on my to do list:

Purchase bags and filler for OOT bags
Print transfers for OOT bags
Design and print hang tags for ceremony fans (ala Tami's)
Wrap handles of fans and attach hang tags
Work with Maura to design announcements
Buy FI's shoes and shirt
Have a makeup session at Mac (or wherever)
Purchase our wedding bands
Buy a guest book
Arrange transfers to/from the hotel for us and guests
Send out pre-travel packs to guests
Have legal ceremony
Make up seating charts
Make an appointment for my final hair cut & color
Design and print paper stuff - escort cards, menus, welcome letter

And that's about it! Woohoo!

Two months and four days!!!

haha guys.... i actually hated the apricot to begin with, that was the original color she gave me. the bright orange of it just looks too harsh against my ivory dress with beads, lace and pickups. the peach color looks way too streaky because she's retinting flowers that are already apricot color so the pink doesnt look right on the peach ones. i ended up telling her to do the coral/apricot so we'll see what happens....

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
