Teacherbride/Connie's Planning Thread


Recommended Posts

Okay, so Iâ€ve been home from my wedding for a couple weeks now and Iâ€m finally sitting down to write my planning thread. Thanks to all of you ladies for your help, support, and ideas! I will admit right now that Iâ€m terrible at remembering where I found things so if you see something that was your idea, feel free to take the credit!

 

Here goes…

 

The rings. We had them made by a local designer and I totally love them!

Bridesmaid Dresses – I originally chose some little sundresses by J Crew but was convinced they werenâ€t perfect. We decided to go with these from Davids Bridal, in chocolate brown, and the girls looked SO beautiful in them.

(excuse my hideous tan lines and weird face)

Groomsmen Attire – The boys picked their own outfits from Island Importer. They were comfy and they suited the boys really well.

Groomsmen Shoes – Reef Sandals (They were really cool with a pen and paper holder inside the sandal!)

    • 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!
