Mrsbancroft2be's Planning Thread


Recommended Posts

With exactly one month from today, I am finally going to start my planning thread. Here is what I came up with so far.

 

First thing I did after we got engaged was found a dress (If you cant see these I will upload bigger ones later)

Then we sent out these save the dates postcards:

Then off to the planning part of the event what were the bridesmaids going to wear. I had an issue because some of my bridesmaids are small and then my matron of honor will be 7 months pregnant so I found something that would work for everone!

Once I found the dresses we decided on having the color theme of dark pink and orange. So I came up with these invitations that I had printed at our local print shop and ended up being very cheap to makesmile29.gif

 

(I will post it later, did not realize it was sooo late I need to get to work!)

These turned out better than I expected when I got them back from the print shop! I love them they just look soooo professional.

 

Here is the bouquet I want (hopefully it will turn out as pretty as this picture)Click the image to open in full size.

 

Here are the centerpieces that I want. I will be taking down the candleholders and the florist will add the flowers.

I will be having 3 flowergirls and 4 flowerboys so i made these little baskets for the flower petals.

I am still waiting on my OOT bags to get here. Instead of using a real bag, I decided to get some small black soft coolers that hold a six pack of beer perfectly. They are getting embroidered and I hope to get them soon! I will post a picture when it comes.

 

My flower girl dresses are still a mystery. I have already sent back two different styles because I can not find one that fits the event. The flower boys will have orange guayabera shirts (once I dye them) and khakis I will post a picture of those later as well.

 

That is it for now, I will be back with more goodies! Thanks for all of your help during this process!

    • 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!
