That's awesome.  I've been searching on the internet and so far no luck.  I am going to head to the outlets out here too and see if I can find the right colors for the guys.

I got the guys shirts from an outlet store at Dixie Outlet Mall in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, called Mexx.

 

They were on sale (Clearance actually) so I got lucky that they had my colour there and all of the sizes worked out for our guys.

I was a little weary about ordering them online without seeing the quality and everything, but they turned out to be perfect. compact and cheap! I couldn't ask for much more!

Hey ladies - random question... I want to bring those pink and orange paper lanterns as part of the decor for the reception. Any idea on how many I should buy?

 

Thanks so much!

So.. while my intentions were good at the beginning, I leave in 2 weeks and one day and I have a million little odds and ends to get through.  Does anyone in Canada have any idea where can I buy some good LED tea light candles?  Not the super fake looking ones, if possible...

 

Thanks!!

Does anyone that has used Claudia Rodriguez or plans on using her...are you doing a 5 hour session or 8 hour session? I really want to use her, but she is kind of pricey. I am torn between the two. I don't know if 5 hours will cover everything and I don't know if 8 hours will be too much!

I think Claudia is flexible with the number of hours.  We booked 4 hours and asked her if she would stay longer if we wanted her to and she said yes.  We only ended up using her for the 4 hours.

 

 

Finally got the slide show

Your pictures are beautiful! Did you use Adventure just for the ceremony and then Claudia for the rest of the day/night? We are getting the Ultimate Package so I know we do get some photos included, but I really want to use Claudia as well.

Also, I plan on using the same colors! Did you bring your decorations or did you get them from the hotel? They look great! I feel like I have 100 questions for you lol!

LSD- You and your pictures are gorgeous. It looks like you had a perfect day! Did you have to supply the vases for the sand cermoney? Or do they have them at the resort? Also, where di you get your maracas?

 

Thanks

I got my LED tea lights at Michaels. They look a bit ghetto but if you're having your reception on the pool deck, it's the only thing you can do as real tea lights will definitely blow out.

I used Claudia for getting ready, the ceremony and the beginning of the reception.  She left right after we cut the cake (which I moved up so she could capture pics).  I brought the pashminas down with me along with the maracas.  I ordered the maracas from amols.com.  The sand kit I ordered from makingmemories.net (or something like that) and they engraved our initials which was pretty nice.  The hanging flowers on the arch and centerpieces I got from EW Cancun.
