RIU RM Palace Brides??

Hello ladies!

Thanks for the review E!

And Sammy everything will be fine! Enjoy that you are well prepared.

Quick question for you... What are you ladies doing about table decor for the reception? I wanted to see if I could bring in some of my own things and just have them set it up for me. Are you just going with their centerpieces?

Thanks!

Adrienne

Hi Ladies,

Erin - thanks for the great review. I have also booked with Moments that Matter Photography and i am SUPER excited about it. good to know that you didn't have to pay the "penalty" fee....

Jen - love the dress, i love how flowly they look

Adrienne - i was wondering about center pieces too but i think i gave up on that idea, i'm not creative enough to come up with something oh well.

Well girls this is getting really exciting. I cant wait to hear about the upcoming weddings. As for my wedding and the issue with people being hesitant to come and what not, my FI and discussed it and i think we have come to terms with it. it is what it is and we will just enjoy our day with those who chose to come... at the end of the day we will be married and that all that really matters.... sometimes something new, different and nontraditional is just a little too much for people.. oh well! haha just gotta smile and laugh it off. Everyone take care!

Adrienne- I did something SO easy! I bought little white sand pails that are votive holders, white coconut votive candles and tied raffia around them in a bow, i put a pink seahorse, and blue fish on either side (my colors) and I will be scattering silk orchids along the table. SUPER easy. I will post pics when I get home from work! We will scatter some hot pink silk rose petals on the tables for a pop of color as well.

This was very cheap. I got the candles from the yankee candle votive sale

20 @ $1= $20

stickers= $7

Raffia= $1

pails (2 per pack at $1)= $10

hot pink silk rose petals= $3

Total= $41

Dreamingofsunshine...I love your attitude! That is exactly how I am trying to look at this entire situation!

Erin- Thanks for sharing your pictures! You looked gorgeous and all of the pictures came out great!

Paige- Sorry for responding so late to this, but yes, I would definitely reccomend Alux for drinks. I dont remember if they were really expensive or not though, but I think it would be an ideal place to go with your gruop. It's also such a unique place to see, and I'm so happy we did it! Also, we ended up just taking cabs there, which were $5 each way...so pretty reasonable.

Sammysgirl- You must be getting so excited! Your day is almost here!

Thank you so much for the pics and review Erin! I love to see the beach wedding pics because there weren't many before! Your wedding looked fab

I'm sure you have everything in order. Just enjoy this time--- BTW- I'll need someone to tell me that when I'm 3 weeks away too

Except I was going to place the curved vases into a circle with a candle in the middle...... THEN I realized I would be carrying down 24 glass vases down with me. They would fill an entire suitcase! So we decided to take the big vases back, and will be putting out the flowers from the ceremony with some extras (we're bringing the votives from the pics, and scatter jewels)---should be perfect.

Ok, I know I am crazy with this one. I didn't want chair sashes to begin with, but when I realized we couldn't afford a huppah, decided to add color. So I bought these ones:

I love the color, it's perfect- but I just saw a pic of a beach wedding with satin sashes (loved them!), and I bought organza. Now I am rethinking my decision..... I can totally sell these sashes on here (or elsewhere) they're really pretty- but I want to get your opinion on satin vs. organza?

I know this seems so trivial, but for some reason I cannot make up my mind- it's not like me! For goodness sakes- I purchased the 2ND DRESS I had ever tried on!!
