I'm going to stick with what the resort has, for the most part. I know they already have chair covers and sashes and some basic decorations and that's fine for me although I may spring for some more flowers for centerpieces when I get there (if the price isn't too outrageous). I love the centerpieces and extra touches that some of the girls on here are doing, but that's just not me and FI would have a stroke if I tried to lug anything else with us at this point lol. It's easy to see the great ideas that others have and get caught up in them but I keep reminding myself that I'm keeping it simple, I've splurged on other things, etc...

I understand about keeping it simple. That's one of the main reasons why we are going the DW route. I visted a few catering halls in my area and kept thinking about all of the $ that adds up and with a DW you don't really have to do it all. For example centerpieces for an at home wedding would be around $100 each but with a beach wedding you can do several options.

 

In the beginning I decided I don't want to do too much. I don't think we're having floral centerpieces, and we can't do candles since aAruba is very windy. So I may just stick with a lantern at each table and sprinkle some "diamond confetti" for a little sparkle.

 

Another thing to worry about relating to decor is having to bring all of these items with you. With the new airline regulations it may make it a little more difficult since you might have to pay for a second piece of luggage. There's a lot to think about!

Another thing, I sometimes feel like I work myself up too much and need to remember to keep it simple. I don't know about you all but I've been to several weddings over the years and I really don't recall much about what was on the menu, centerpieces and chair covers. It was more about the good time we had at the wedding.

i was the same way. the main part of dw is no work right? well i thought of ways to make it as simple as possible. my bridesmaids bouquets are doubling as the arrangement for the table, just by covering a plastic container with fabric which will be my vase. the only thing different is im using battery candles

i really can appreciate this thread right now, as i am panicking about all of the "extras".

 

we have a very small budget for the wedding, and really need to keep things as simple as possible. if we can get some inexpensive things to bring with us (like $1 chair sashes), then we will...but nothing too crazy!

 

we will have our reception in a non-private restaurant and so as much as we can to keep that price down. so thanks too all of those who are in the same boat! i am glad i am not alone!

One of the big reasons that we are doing a DW is because I truly don't care what is in the center of the table or what color the chairs are - I just want to marry the man that I love and that is what the day is about for me! Obviously I want the day to be beautiful and special, but I also do not wish to spend the time obsessing over little things that really don't matter in the grand sceme of things. I will be using the BM bouquets as the centerpieces and I ordered collapsable Blumebox vases that will be easy to transport. I also plan to have some tea lights on the tables (our dinner will be indoors so I don't have to worry about wind). The resort will provide white chair covers and linens which is perfect since I want to keep things clean and elegant. With such a tropical setting, it will be difficult for it not to be beautiful!

 

The great thing about a DW is that you get to make of it what you want! Keep it as simple or go as far as you would like with decorations :)

      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!
