Smart!  I'm not sure where you are having the reception, but we had ours on the South Sky Terrace, and the area alone doesn't require much decoration at all, but we did bring some things, not necessarily to save money but just so we could have it be what we wanted. 

 

We just used the free ivory table cloths provided by the resort, and then we brought larger squares of burlap to go on top of the table cloth.  We rented glass vases from the decor company through the resort, and we asked them to fill them up with sand.  We made and brought table numbers, mustaches and lips on sticks, so they put those in the sand-filled vases.  The only other thing we had that provided a big pop of color was we brought larger wooden maracas that we used as seating cards.  So whether you bring something or have a florist bring it in, I wouldn't worry about it at all!  It'll look great!

I am not sure about where to have the reception since I don't really know my options at this point. I am thinking not to really bring too much for the decoration piece. Probably just bring my own chair sashes since I found an awesome price from an ebay seller. They can then use it at the reception in a different manner...maybe placing it differently on the chairs? And then have a couple of lanterns on the tables that have a silhouette or a poem or something of that sort to go along with the theme. Maybe some seashells around it with sand? I'm not sure as yet. But keep it simple and low key as possible. I am sure that simple is better. I don't want to stress about cost or how I'm going to bring it over and all that. I'm sure the view will be spectacular enough. Might bring some sparklers for like our first dance or something and then I am going to bring some items to do a make-shift photobooth where people can put their pictures in an album. I dunno.... I guess I am just not too fussy about stuff like flowers and all that...as long as it looks pretty lol!

I love the burlap for the tables idea. I was thinking of something along those lines. I was going to order LED candles and have those set around flowers. 

 

You did assigned seating? How did you feel about that? I have some bickering parents on my FI side, so I'd like to but we're doing a buffet so I don't know if it would be too restrictive. Ugh, I can't decide!!!

We did assigned tables (people could choose whatever seat they wanted at that table) with a buffet, and I'm SO glad we did!!  We had a few friends who didn't really know anyone else, so it was nice to be able to make sure they were at a table with other people they would have fun with.  Also, we had four sets of parents, and while they all get along fine, we thought it would be more enjoyable for them to each have their own table. 

 

The tables could fit 10, so we just assigned eight people per table, and then we saved two spots at each table for us.  Then we got a chance to actually sit with everyone throughout the night, and none of the parents could complain about being at a worse table than the other.  It went a long way to preserve my sanity.  : )

Saving a spot for you and the groom at each table is sooooo clever!  I've never heard of that before.  One of the reasons I love this site so much!

      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!
