I wanted to get everyones opinion! I am taking paper lanterns to hang during the reception on the terrace. For my at home reception I plan on hanging cafe lights and having the paper lanters hang from them for the lights. I don't want to travel with the cafe lights if I don't have to but I wasn't sure if the paper lanterns would look funny hanging without any lights for my reception on the terrace. Any thoughts? Thank you! :)

I'm also having my reception on the terrace and will be bringing paper lanterns as well.  Like many brides who use the paper lanterns, I will make LED throwies. If you don't know what a throwie is than do a search fo 'DIY LED lights' and you should be able to find the thread with pics and instructions. I definitely prefer the looks of lit paper lanterns.

I have some battery LED lights but not enough and I am definitely ordering cafe lights for our at home reception, I just didn't want to have to travel with them. I get nervous about getting stuck in customs over something stupid like cafe string lights!! Thanks ladies :)

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it's on their list of decoration items/serivices but I think they call them something else, however I don't have their wedding guide in front of me to confirm (the 2012 guided that they send you, not the one on the website). Regardless, Pilar is my wedding coordinator and I will supply the lanterns and they will be hanging them for me.

Here is a beautiful wedding reception that was rather recent where they used paper lanterns on the terrace and they were not lit.  I think they still look beautiful

Thank you! They do still look nice...I guess I am just concerned that there will not be enough light to really notice them at night. Are they still pretty noticeable? Mine are fuchsia and lime green.

    • 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!
    • 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!
