Hi Davina!
I just asked Chandlyn for that setup and told her my colours were aqua and that colour of fabric was just provided. It was a perfect match too, I was very happy!
I am embarassed to say I never asked for an itemized receipt of my wedding costs, I just paid a total amount. The whole week was so crazy I just let it slide, but it was very close to what I estimated the costs to be so it was fine.
Of my OWN estimate, I had estimated the beach decor gazebo to be as follows:
Upgraded Beach Gazebo decorations: $412
Aisle Runner: $45
Aisle markers: $85 each and I believe I had 4?
So I think what I was charged was very close to that...! Hope that helps!

Gorgeous colors! I have a question for you, and any other brides who have recently been to the Riu. Is there a casino in the resort? We have some elderly people traveling with us who love to gamble, and some websites/publications say the resort has one, and some don't mention anything about it.

Did you have a seating chart or place cards set up at dinner... or did you just let your guests sit where they wanted?
