May 2009 Brides

Recommended Posts

I've booked our condo in Hawaii, and reserved the reception hall for our AHR. Oh, and I've bought my dress and my FI's outfit. That's about it. I'm going to start working on my diy invites (for AHR) next week. Mostly I've just researched everything. I'm not worried at all.

So what are you girls doing for makeup for the big day? Since we're going on a cruise, they ships salon doesn't offer make up service. So my aunt (that sounds weird since she's 3 years older then me and I never call her that!) is going to do my makeup, since we're not having a wedding party so I wanted to give her something special to do.

 

I normally wear Bare Minerals. I was thinking of going like 2 weeks before we leave and taking her with me to Mac since everyone raves about there makeup. Atleast to get some foundation and eye makeup.

 

What do you girls suggest?

    • 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!
