Some more of Rebecca's Photos

Ahh! I know! Two months exactly from today. What is so funny is that I am so totally done planning everything...just as all of my family & friends are deciding to make their plans. All of the sudden it's supposed to be news that they are "going to Cabo!" Ummm...yeah, cool. I'm sure this is normal, but I'm just way too busy with work to deal with my mom & her flight plans.

I have no tolerance for procrastinators. The way I look at it, they are all adults. My mom is the opposite. She plans things ridiculously early. Like if she is going to make a special dinner she'll be calling me 3 week in advance because she's makng the grocery list! Gotta love the moms!

Rebecca, your pictures are soooo beautiful! I loved everything. What type of flowers did you have? What florist did you use? Did you show them a picture of what you wanted beforehand?

Rebecca your pictures are amazing, and of course they are because you had Juan!!!! His work is so good!! You guys look so happy!!! Thanks for sharing!

 

Oh I know what I wanted to ask you, did someone suprise you with the slideshow or did you put that together?

[REBECCA]

Thanks Girls!

 

Lenita,

The flowers I used were Mexican Lilies, Mexican Cala Lilies and green hydrangeas. I got the idea of the green hydrangeas from the In Style Wedding book. I wanted cala lilies & Orchids, but the cost of bouquet jumped from $95 to $145. So I chose the Mexican lilies over the orchids. I don’t know the florist, I ordered them through. I got them from Maye, my wedding coordinator. But I’m sure any florist will do it. They are all local flowers I think.

 

Natalie,

My friends surprised me with the slideshow. It was really cute, my friend got up and narrated. They were funny pictures of Marc and I as kids finding our way to each other. It was really cute.

I thought it looked like a suprise that is why I asked! That is so cute of them! So did Dreams set it up for them or did they ask you? Someone asked me if I was doing one and I was unsure! I just wish someone would do one for me as well(lol)!

I LOVE your pictures! YOu look so beautiful and the setting is incredible! It looks like such a fun party too! You must relive it each time you see the pics!!

I have a question - were the rose petals already on the aisle & the flower girl just added to it? I love the way it looks!! How many bags of rose petals did you get? We are going to have 4 flower girls (my little nieces) so I want to be sure I add enough in our budget.

Yes, they sprinkled the aisle with flower petals and the flower girl just added to it. It was funny, she was so upset when she saw there were flower petals already there when she began to walk down the aisle.

I ordered 6 dozen rose petals for the aisle & paid $174.00. Then I ordered an additional 8 dozen petals for the table center pieces and paid $232.

I guess my girlfriends approached Mariana at Dreams the day before the wedding and they arranged the projector and screen. My girlfriend brought her our laptop which had the power point on there. I think they paid a couple hundred bucks to rent everything last minute. Marc and I were a little scared as to what we were about to see, but it ended up being really great. I guess at my bridal shower, the women concocted this plan and e-mailed my parents, Marc's family & friends to collect pictures of us growing up.

I know, that is definitely something you want other people to do for you, it seems like too much work to do it yourself!

I was thinking of bringing down fake rose petals all bagged up? What do you think? We don't have a flower girl so I was already going to have them down like you! Not sure if I should get real ones
