I'm making a PLETHORA of tissue paper flowers for my wedding.

 

I am a bit hesitant of taking them with me carry on, or in my baggage, due to the fact that they take up space, due to their "fluffyness", and I really don't want them to be damaged :/  

 

I am getting married at Secrets Capri, and am intending on using the centerpieces and bouquet that are included in our package, just for the ceremony.  I'm in love with my paper flowers :) 

 

Has anyone shipped to Mexico, or planning to do so with some of their decoration?  It's not as though paper flowers hold any value, so I figure it's not too much to worry about?

 

Advice welcome!! 

 

These are what my flowers look like :D except red, orange and yellow!

From my time on this board it isn't recommended for a few reasons. 1. Sometimes it doesn't make it in time 2. Customs picks threw it and you don't get all your stuff 3. Resorts don't like to hold stuff for you.

 

Good luck. I just plan to put everything in checked baggage except my outfit/wedding attire and jewelry. Plus anything breakable.

Personally I wouldn't recommend shipping, unless you've got someone who definitely pick it up /or hold onto it....it can also be very pricey!!!! We had to sentpd our invites to my Fiancés parents in Jamaica ( roughly 30 invites) and our legal paperwork.... the package weighed a little over 1kg, it ended up costing €175!!!!!! Good luck, I'm planning on bringing everything else in my hand luggage!!!

@@lydiasusi, OMG your flowers look amazing! It may be too late since you already fluffed them up... But have you thought about bringing the flowers flat? Like they how they come when you buy them? That's how mine are. :-)

 

And we are fortunate enough to be able to do a site visit this Christmas for our July 2015 wedding. I plan to bring a huge suitcase of paper tissue poms(u fluffed), paper lanterns, wish lanterns, candles for centerpieces, marbles, etc. And my wedding coordinator is keeping them for me until July. I might even do a storage locker for 7 months! Worth not having to worry about all that during wedding week!

      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!
