I can’t believe it’s already time to go. This year has gone by so fast. We got engaged on March 28, 2008 (the day before my birthday!) and I’ve been stalking this forum ever since!

 

The Rings:

My FI picked out my engagement ring all by himself without any imput from me. I’m so proud of him!

Wedding bands:

We got my ring and band at Shane Co, and I got his ring off of ebay.

Invites:

I DIYed our STD’s. I had a lot of fun making them, but they were pretty time consuming.

We never did actual invites, since so few guests indicated that they would come. Instead we sent out invites for our AHR. I designed them myself and had them printed by a local printing company. Very simple, and small enough that I could fit 4 to a page and save on paper.

My Attire:

I didn’t really want a fancy dress, or to spend a lot of money on one. So I found this sundress at JC Penney—their American Living collection for $60. I love it! I had to get it altered a bit, the straps kept falling down!

Don’t mind the face. Bryce thought it was funny to keep taking pictures without giving me time to prepare.

 

My DIY barefoot sandals. I got the beads and supplies at either Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I can’t quite remember which.

If the sand is too hot, then I’ll just wear my backup flip flops from Old Navy.

There's more!

I already had the jewely. The pearls were a gift from years ago and I got the necklace from Overstock.com about 2 years ago—it was a promotion where I only had to pay shipping ($2.95).

I’m getting orchids or plumeria (I haven’t decided which yet) from the florist who is doing my bouquet. But, in case that didn’t work out, I have a backup hair flower from Etsy seller starzselection.

Up, or down? I still haven’t decided!

 

My DIY iron-on bride tank and hoodie. I got the iron-ons at Michaels (only $1!) and the clothing at Old Navy.

FI’s Attire:

We got FI’s shirt from the Buckle, and his pants from Von Maur. He already owned the flip flops. Sorry no pic of the pants or flip flops. They’re just drawstring linen and Reef flip-flops.

Flowers:

Bouquet inspiration pics. These are from someone on here, but I don’t know who. So, whoever it is, thank you!

I’m also having the florist make some plumeria leis for all of our guests. They should look something like this:

Guestbook:

I admit I stole this from Carly. What can I say? I love this idea! I got the book from Ten Thousand Villages. We’re going to use this at our AHR as well.

Beach:

We’re going to be married on the south shore of Kauai, on Shipwreck Beach.

Gifts:

BD book:

I had some BD pics taken last month, and I was so nervous prior. My photographer, Tara, was great and she helped me relax. Her are some of the pics:

Necklaces:

Early on in the planning, I made these very simple necklaces for my mom and my FMIL. Now, my FMIL isn’t going to be going to the wedding (health reasons) but I still plan to give her the necklace before we go.

OOT:

We decided not to give OOT bags to our guests. We’re only having 6 guests, and everyone is staying in a different place. We’re giving everyone leis right before the wedding (see above), and for the women sarongs, and the men, cigars. We bought the cigars here in town, but I’ll wait to get the sarongs on the island.

 

I think that’s all. We leave tomorrow! Thanks to everyone on the forum for being so creative and supportive!

      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!
