Hi Ladies!

 

I need your opinions please :)

 

I am absolutely in LOVE with the Mantilla Veil! My dress is a plain white strapless mermaid/trumpet made with elastic woven satin.  Since it is so plain, I thought that the Mantilla Veil will add some detail to my look.  My dress has a very small train too.. but I still gotta get it altered soo i can change that if anything.  I am looking at this veil and going for this type of look where my dress is form fitting and my veil is longer than the dress..

 

Now, is this appropriate for a wedding on a beach?  My MOH and her husband are saying that a veil as a train is not appropriate for a beach wedding...I am getting married at MP and I haven't chosen the location yet but I was originally on the beach.  Also, how LONG should it be?  I found on ebay this veil (image #1) and it is 3 meters= 9.84251969 feet!!
I am 5'4" and if i wear heels, i'll be 5'8" the tallest LOL (I dont want to be taller than the groom!) So that means my veil would be 4 ft long from the end of my feet!!  I can adjust the length though per the ebay seller..so back to my question - how long? :)

 

One more question (ahhahah i know, i dont have anymore life lines LOL) - if you had your wedding on the beach, did you and your girls wear heels??

 

Let me know what you guys are thinking with my dilemma :) pleaseeee

I love the Mantilla as well and bought one for the same reason. BUT mine as elbow length. I guess it would drag in the sand if it is that long, but also if you are not going to wear it all night what does it matter. One problem you may run into is if it is windy it may pull back alot.

 

As for shoes i'm going with flip flops, but my ceremony isn't on the beach, if it was i would go barefoot!

      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!
