I just had mine done - they are fabulous and kinda an orange-y coral. I love that I have bright shoes under my pristine white dress. Super fabulous. Just know - cuz I didnt - the dyeable shoes will leak color if they get wet. Just a heads up..

I dont have all the answers - you can hire your own musicians but you will probably be charged a 70$ per person entrance fee for them to come on site. You need to compare the costs you get compared with hers and include the additional cost to get them on site. A lot of girls used her photographer since it was included in their package then hired whoever they wanted also. I am only having 16 people on the mexican terrace so i dont know their capacity. Sorry No Idea about the champagne. A lot of people dont recommend shipping the decor since apparently Mexico is not consistent about delivering undamaged, ontime things. Sorry for not that much help - more girls will have more info...

I loved it all - I want my wedding to be just like that --- I want all those pictures...just so you girls know - I am stealing pictures that I love and having Juan recreate them for my wedding - you look beautiful and so happy - what an amazing wedding. Congrats

Can anyone open this link anymore - everytime I go to the site - it seems to be having errors...

Here is my maid of honor's dress - I wanted something she might wear again so we did off the rack nordstroms. She loves it...

We chose Cabo San Lucas because we wanted a destination no one in our group had been to. We live in FL and have the beach so other beach locations didnt appeal to us - but the desert and pacific will be new experiences for us - and Italy was expensive

How did you request that side? Did you call ahead, ask the coordinator, or what?

I kinda figured that by that time most people aren't really looking to see if its 12% or whatever...i think it was on here in a post but I cant find it...lol. You are always so good about responding to all of our silly Riu questions...You are the resident Riu-guru... LOL

I am gonna do one of these but most likely paris hiltons... If i had to do it myself I would do the second one for sure...

How much tax did they charge you for the wedding - and what was it added onto? Did they tax the private reception, flowers, package, everything? Thanks in advance.

Target had in the dollar bins door hangers that are also white boards so you can write notes on them - I bought them for our wedding - I will just put peoples initials on them so we can find each other at Riu - also that people can say where they are "I'm at the pool" etc....

super cheap on costco...lol...i totally fell in love with them because they are so us...

Wow - it looks amazing. Where did you buy the insulated cups? I love, love your dress and your hair and make-up turned out great - who did them? Beautiful, just beautiful.

Thanks so much -- yay another October 24th bride. We didn't even know that my FI's parents anniversary is Oct 23rd...lol... I Am sooooooo excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As some of you know, we are doing a bon voyage party instead of a AHR (FI calls it the adios party). We are having a casual party of cocktails and mexican finger food and at the party we will have one of our friends who is a notary legally marry us - no big ceremony, just a moment where we sign papers and kiss. Do you think the wording on the invites (shown below) sound good? I dont want people coming to the bon voyage thinking I am gonna be walking down an aisle etc. Looking forward to your opinions. I am ordering them today.

thanks for explaining - you guys rock as always... and btw - i am having a cow, suddenly out of no where my wedding is less than three months away and i still havent done anything...lol...oh well.

Also the way it is set up is that there is a little corner at the end of the terrace closest to your party that they leave empty. Sorry to be a pest - did you reserve the terrace and pay the $500.00 dollars and they still put other diners out there? THanks for all the input --- helps so much in the planning process...

Beutiful pictures --- can;t wait to see more.

That is crazy --- small world for all of us...

Absolutely --- and the best part of it all is that you are going with your honey. We saw all these couples backpacking and the guy has this huge pack (similar to the ones we had strapped on our backs) and the girl had this little light weight cute one and the guys would always take care of their girl. So fabulous - while we were 17 girls with the biggest packs ever standing on trains hoping someone would let us sit. lol. I am super jealous cuz you are going to have the best time.

You are going to have the most amazing time. My suggestion is to decide how you want to spend your time to help make decisions on how long for each place --- if you want the whirlwind tour then just take brief stays at each place. I studied in Italy for six weeks and loved every minute of it. I am all about seeing a town and doing the museum thing, but I also love to soak in the typical days - walk around and try food and just hang out. Get a feel for the city not just the tourist traps. We had two free weekends to spend on our own and both times we went to Monterosso in Cinque Terra. It is my most favorite place. Rome is huge and overwhelming. I would love to go and spend more time there. Florence is exquisite and totally manageable. I didn't feel overwhelmed and I always felt safe. Venice was fun to see but I dont have the urge to go back. A couple days and I felt like I saw it and was done with it. Milan was a concrete jungle I didnt really enjoy. THings to think about - pack light beacuse the shopping there is amazing and we just bought new and discarded our cheap clothes from here. Venice is all bridges - some cities dont work well with rolling luggage. Have money to use taxis because lugging luggage onto the subways and trains sucks. Trains are super easy to use. Also, if you want to see other cities in europe check out Ryan Air --- super cheap. We traveled extensively. Let me know if you have questions. First decide if you want to see every sight or if you want to lounge. If you have time for the most amazing spa experience of your life - you must must go to Vals in Switzerland. You are a lucky girl - most amazing time of my life was in Europe.

Sounds wonderful. Were there other diners on the terrace with you? Did you request the private terrace Did you pay for liquor per person per hour? Sorry for the litany of questions.

I am getting married on Oct 24 but we are being cheap and having our dinner at Riu since it is all inclusive and all of our guest are staying there. I hope that the tournament doesnt make it too crazy --- well just have to wait and see.

Welcome - I am actually staying at the Westin after my wedding for a couple of nights - kinda a mini honeymoon. I'll be there October 26 -29 and if you need pictures of anything just let me know. This site is amazing and you will have more information and helpful ideas than you will know what to do with.

ok on to the next thought - does anyone know if they have dahlias? It says they are from Mexico - so I thought maybe...hmmm...can;t find the info online though...peonies are definitely out...poop...
