Your video is amazing. Thanks for the link to the paper lantern store. I was wondering if you used the light up lanterns or just the regular ones? Also, what kind of lights did you wrap around the posts?

 

There is a 30% off coupon through Sunday on the paper lantern site if anyone is interested.

 

Thank you and congrats!!!

@@Cj1053 which colors did you get for the lanterns? sorry for being so annoying it is just literally exactly what I've been looking for haha also what sizes did you get and how many of each? it just looks so perfect!!

No worries. I stressed over this and bought so many different colors to see what I liked before finally deciding. (Side note...we brought fishing line so they could hang the lanterns) I bought pink, mint and white. 12in, 16in, 20in. If I remember correctly I think we decided to not use all of the 20 inch as they were pretty big. I would not go smaller than 12 in. We bought 28 lanterns but I think we only used 24 of them. Sorry it's been a few months so hard to remember. We did not buy lights for the lanterns. The center lantern they put up was on a light, so it lit up.

Thank you! We were so happy with how it turned out.

 

We bought the regular paper lanterns. We used icicle lights to wrap around the poles.

@@linaco80 @@carrieandsam Thank you ladies! I loved the video too. I just got my full video from Caribe yesterday. They FedEx'ed it to us because we forgot to pick it up at our honeymoon resort, the El Dorado Casitas Royale.. Whoops! But yes, they did a fabulous job! 

 

My cousin is a photographer so she did the photography. I flew her in and she stayed more than 4 nights so I didn't have to pay the $800 vendor fee.

So cute! Love theme you have going.  Do you mind me asking when you purchased the fans? Were these blank when purchased and then you printed yourself? 

 

Thanks!

Hi Brides! 

 

I have a question regarding lighting... Withing the the wedding portal, the lighting options seem VERY expensive. $50 for one pole at Plaza Zavaz ($400 for whole thing), The bulb string lights $1500... Yikes. 

 

Has anyone brought in their own lights? If so, Did they charge for your extension cords and set up? Would prefer to bring my own. 

 

Thanks!

Nearly everyone brings their own... It's a major topic of conversation in the official Sensatori and the Sensatori Brides threads. Number of strings needed etc are all talked about.

No need for cords... Just tell them how to want them to be hung during your on site meeting and they will do so. There will be the overall set up charge for all decor and displays they will charge you for setting up your decor that is paid in cash and directly there at the resort in the meeting as they pay their manpower directly to do so. It's usually $250 or less depending on what decor/work you have them do.

@@rebepax love your stuff!! Where did you get the maracas?

@@Cj1053 thank you!!!!!

[rebepax]

@@LaurenR  My friend Ellen at Paper Pleasers designed all the paper items, including the fans. She is excellent to work with!

@@atyson03 we bought the maracas from etsy but we had a bad experience. We ended up painting them ourselves. I took my bridesmaid's dress swatch to Home Depot and I found the closest color to our seafoam. We painted the maracas and then my sister hand painted each one with a starfish and our names. They turned out really great!

@@LaurenR I used Katy for some of the decor I didn't want to lug down to Mexico. She has really reasonable prices and was great to work with! She has a bunch of items including vases, paper lanterns, even a photo booth.

 

You can reach out to her at katy@loveandrum.com
