sammysgirl - we didn't have chair covers at all, I like the just white and because we had 2 different colors for the wedding party it would be too much I think. The chair covers came with the Caprice wedding package that we got.

 

ShellK - Your meeting should NOT be the day of your wedding, I would let the wedding coordinator know this. Our meeting was Tuesday and we were married Thursday.

Ah!! I'm supposed to get automatic email notifications if someone posts in this thread...so i thought no one had been chatting. sorry for my delay but here are my answers!

 

Lisa- I didnt get all my shower thank-you's out either, and my shower was over a month before my wedding, so don't feel bad! I'd send a combo...just make it extra nice!

Josie- where are your BM dresses from, and their shoes?? I really love them! Did you take the matching chair bows your self?
I got my BM dresses at JC Penny for $25 dollars a piece!!!!!!!! They were amazing!! It was seasonal though so I don't think they have those exact ones anymore....but I'd definitely check the department stores. Especially during prom/homecoming and the other high school dance events. All of my bm's were tiny...so i was able to get these from the juniors department!

 

The girls got their own shoes... i just told them "gold"...so you can probably tell from the pics that the shoes did not all match!

 

Also yes, i brought the chair bows down, and still have them if you want. I have about 55 orange ones. They were small and easy to pack!

i was wondering what you girls are doing / did in terms of the photographer. Did you just use the one they recommended or did you bring your own. I was kind of hoping to bring in an outside photographer and was told it would be 100$ for a day pass for them.. however i never really realized how much wedding photographers are.... what do you guys think is a reasonable budgethuh.gif

 

also about the reception i remember that some of you girls are having a private reception with a dj. i'm worried that my guest count wont be enough for a private reception and i dont want to pay extra if i just have 25 people. but then again i dont want to miss out on the first dance and father daughter dance.... any ideas?

 

Lynn
Yes, I brought my own chair bows (not the white covers though, those are provided) :) I also brought the fans down which i thought was a beautiful touch... everyone LOVED them!

 

My photographer was flown in and I DID NOT pay any $100/day fee. I simply told the resort that my guests were photographers and would be taking my pictures, and they never charged me! I would go that route if you're planning to fly someone down. I won a BDW contest so I just had to pay for flight and hotel, I had 2 photographers and it ended up being around $1400 total which I think was very reasonable! But depending on what you want, you can spend up to 5 or 6K. I didn't want to go over 2, but that is just me personally!

 

In terms of the private reception. They will work with you. Even if you have a small guest count I'm sure they'd still do a private reception. The DJ was one of the best parts of my entire night and I couldnt imagine my wedding without him....... he was a BLAST!!!!!!!! So don't sacrifice :)

 

josie,thanks for the videos you have got me thinking again do i book it or not.you wicked wife you.did you use the spa for makeup?

I'm sorry I forgot to answer this earlier! Yes I did the make up and I really liked it! But then again, I suck at putting on make-up so I probably would have been happy with just about anything. They let you pick your eye-shadow shade so don't worry about it being too drastic!! I think you will be very happy if you do it. It was a big relief to me and my make-up lasted the entire day and even withstood cake being smashed ALL OVER my face!!

      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!
