Nibsmom's Moon Palace Wedding Review - 7.18.09

[evtalbot]

Congrats, and thanks for the review! You looked so pretty! And everyone looks like they had a great time. I have the "free" package also, so I appreciate your list of things you added!

 

What is your opinion on having the ceremony in the gazebo vs. on the beach? Nick prefers the beach, but I am worried about wind, and more importantly, looking squinty in all of my pictures!

 

Also, how much did they charge for each bag of flower pedals? These are a MUST for me!

Of course you are! The worst part was the spray painting, and I made Matt do that!! LOLOL! Well, I guess I did burn my finger with the hot glue gun once! Otherwise, I did it while watching TV!

YAY! I'm so glad you found great dresses!! My bridesmaids wore white shoes. I just told them to find white shoes that weren't flip flops and they found some great ones at payless. They went really well with the white parasols!

Hmm...well, I guess it depends on what time of day your ceremony is. Mine was at 1pm, and I probably would have died of heatstroke if I had my ceremony on the beach, but that was in July! I don't know if you've come across cutierosie's review yet, but she had a beach wedding and wrote a really detailed review that I know has helped some MP brides decide between beach and gazebo ceremonies. I think either would be beautiful.

As far as the wind goes, yes, it is always a little windy, but it's not like gale force winds. LOL. I think you'll have to deal with it whether you're on the beach or in a gazebo, but honestly, I think it's more of a bonus than a drawback - it really cuts the heat!

The flower petals were 45 dollars a bag I believe. They are smaller bags, but two was enough for me to have my flower girls drop them and to have a petal toss at the end! I thought about bringing my own freeze dried but didn't want the hassle of having to bring them down. I know a few brides have done that though, cutierosie being one of them!

Nina, I keep checking back in hopes you have some pro pictures posted. :-)

I think I might get my pro pics of the TTD back from Claudia Rodriguez soon. I got a paypal request from her yesterday saying all was ready. I keep checking my email to see if there is an online link or something!!!
