LadyDi- you did such a great job!  LOVE everything!  How much did Moon Palace end up charging you for a setup fee?

  Okay when I got home I found the name of the company http://www.nashvillewraps.com/raffia/paper-ribbon/c-038234.html  like i said they are wholesale and you have to be a company but i just used my dad's company name and i don't think they care or check so just put anything in the company name. there is also a $25 minimum so if you want to shop around you are looking for this: wraphia II KRAFT 1/4" X 100yds 100% paper. I am sure you can get it anywhere.. Like I said I bought 9 rolls of 3 different colors and used about 15-18 strands per loop and I went through 1 and a half rolls for 15 8" starfish. I used the other half of the second roll to put in my pails at the kids table. Also I did not hot glue the starfidh until I got to mexico. I brought the raffia loops already made with me and the starfish wrapped up and hot glued them there. The raffia is naturally curly in the roll so it comes out perfect when you cut it. Use a folding chair to determine length because that is pretty much what they have there.

Hey Shanna I PM'd you. I tried to email you but it got returned

Thanks!
 

 

 Thanks so much girl. I don't think they charged me. My WC showed me the papers with the new charges for each table and she said they were enforcing those I said when I booked I didn't have that info and left it at that. I gave her a $250 tip lol but she told me the resort was beginning to harass them about charging those fees. If you have it in writing they will honor it though. I did not because I had asked her in an email once but she never answered. Considering what I saved I wish I would have given her more money lol.

Congrats to you and your hubby! Wonderful planning thread; thanks for sharing with us all. May I ask where you had gotten the bouquet holder? Its gorgeous

[ladydi1844]

Thanks Actually that is just a rhinestone wrap from Amazon. It was only $9 and it did both my bouquet and my MOH. I just gave it to the WC and she had them add them to the bouquet. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059Q760C/ref=oh_o03_s00_i00_details

 

I have seen the rhinestone bracelets at Michaels but they were expensive and I needed a few because i wanted it wide. With this it is not a bracelet they wrap it around your bouquet. They have a lot of bouquet stuff on ebay also. Good luck!!!

I have had requests for the music list in my inbox so i am going to put it here

 

 

 

 

 

and a lot of questions about decorations from Zuniga and how it works. In my experience I contacted katie katie@decocancun.com 

 

and she answers right away. You tell her where your wedding will be and what you are looking for and she is very helpful with ideas and suggestions. Once it is all settled on what you want than she sends a quote that you have to sign. In my case they did not ask for a deposit just added it to my bill with Moon Palace when i checked out and subtracted my comped room nights from that bill as well. No waiting for the comped nights. 

Here is the price list I received from katie and what I got is gone over in the thread except someone pointed out I forgot to add the centerpieces were also from Zuniga. And they were only $55 each and so pretty.
