So my Bridesmaids & I took it upon ourselves to make the paper bag lanterns for my wedding and I think what we came up with was great, so i had to share.

 

We bought a pack of white paper bags for the luminaries and I bought gold doilies to follow Marthas method (Lacy Luminarias) but it did not work out like we had envisioned. I wish i had taken a picture, because they really didn't look 1/2 as nice as those!

 

Thankfully I also bought this confetti for the table which i got from micheals (using the 40% of coupon of course).

So my friend suggested we use the little flower confetti inside the bags... and VOILA here is the result!

I bought the votives/candles off Cudge.net - Product Detail which were a bargain and are AMAZING! (i tested and one lasted for 14 hours!)

We also then used the little flowers to make our placecard holders so they came out to be a spectacular purchase!

Those look so great!! My FI spent all of Happy Gilmore last night making the ones using Martha's method and they look fantastic. I tried to make one and it came out crappy. He has the creative crafty gene....I don't. He also made the hanging orchids. He complained the whole time, but they are done!

So funny, perhaps i should have given the task to a man to do instead of a group of crafty ladies! So glad it worked out for you!!!

      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!
