Honestly getting all of your ideas together her is really a great way to go. I highly suggest that future brides bookmark and/or pin (on pinterest now) every exact detail you want. when your date is near you will be ready to easily pass everything you want over to the coordinators Really unless your wedding day is a month or two out there is no need to speak to the coordinators daily or weekly. It will all come together. also remember that part of the beauty of having a DW at LC is the location itself. you really do not need to bring very much decor! just my 2 cents. someone asked about my flowers. they were roses and tulips actually. I pretty much just told nicole what colors i wanted and told her that i trusted her call on it and that is what she got me! I really tried to not worry about somewhat minor details like the bouquet...I guess i was kind of a low maintenance bride? at least i try to tell myself i was...especially when i see my friends planning an at home wedding with hundreds of people!!!!! some of their concerns are just so crazy to me!? why doesnt everyone just fly to PV to get married on the beach?!

Congrats to all the recent LC brides! LC wedding pics really are the best and i still love to check in on them! I was an April bride lianne, it was warm for sure! I wouldn't say it was bad when getting ready maybe a little uncomfortable. the only time i remember being REALLY hot was during the ceremony other than that the weather is just perfect in April

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trashing the dress was ALMOST more fun than the wedding for us! haha my hubby was semi annoyed with the thought of another day of pics as well but he knew how much i had my heart set on doing it. Once we were actually taking the pics we both had so much fun! Don't get me wrong when i say this but some of our TTD pics are actually our favs over our wedding day pics. our wedding day pics are amazing but there really are some TTD pics that are even more amazing in their own way! i think my TTD slideshow link is still in my siggy!

So I was going to comment on Kya's first post that i quoted but then Ann and Ali said exactly what I was going to say! Great advice Ali. I think it is best to just start planning details that you want on your own. collect pic examples of flowers, tables, aisle runners, etc. so that when the coordinator does contact you, you are ready to go because you have it all ready. Kya- 4.5 months out is a LONG LONG time. As Ann said I dont think it was until about a month or so before the wedding until i really started communicating with the coordinators. Planning a LC wedding is super easy and stress free. I knew how busy the coordinators were so i really tried to not "bug" them months and months before. I would just come here instead and ask all of my minor detail questions i would get answers much more quickly here too. Oh and in regards to your FI not having his attire yet..try not to let that bother you either. My DH didn't have his suit until 1 week before we left! yep i stressed and was sort of PO'ed at him because it really was the 1 thing he HAD to do. but well he did get it done and it was fine! I am sure Kelly will get those new coordinators trained and up to speed in no time!

yes sparklers are fireworks. i am 99% sure that you can not carry those on a plane (carry or check onto a plane that is). i think your only option is to ship them

Samantha as someone already mentioned you really should use the search function on the the forum first. there is already a main Las Caletas thread. If you read through that most of your questions will probably be answered. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/51931/las-caletas-couples-post-here-all-lc-brides-please-read-1st-post-red-text also you should probably read through the forum rules as well as you could get banned for starting new threads that already exist http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/32313/click-here-for-faq-s-and-to-learn-how-to-work-this-forum
