Felicidades and welcome to the forum!! I've actually known several brides who have receptions back home after their destination wedding for those friends and family who can't make it - they usually have a slideshow presentation of the wedding or video clips and I think it's a fab idea .

Felicidades and welcome to the forum!!

Just a word to those of you keeping an eye on what the weather is like in October .... it's rained off and on for the past two days (Oct 8th and 9th) ... if you have protection, you are fine. If you don't, you will have been rained on. The positive aspect of this is that it has cooled down a rather hot and nasty humid streak considerably and actually feels pretty good.

Well, September has come and gone and we're into October and you know what that means? It's the new season! Before I start inundating you with our own special orders and wedding designs, I thought I would share real quick a little research I did on black accents .... everywhere I went I was reading that "black is the new brown". INSPIRATION I drew my inspiration from several different black/color combinations. I think there is something very powerful about black - so powerful, in fact, that, if not used wisely, I think the design starts to look too heavy and, thus, takes away the "romance factor." There were two color combinations that I just couldn't find good examples of - that was purple and black and orange and black. I just couldn't get away from images of Halloween .... although I do think an eggplant with black and white or the peach inspiration board I found with black and white would work. Top Row: Loved the black plate and the bling bling on the pink napkin - just really love black/white/pink combinations, really. Something very retro about it . {Wedding Wire} Speaking of retro, I love these dresses as bridesmaid dresses - would love to see an edgy/50's combined with Spanish flair wedding - Puerto Vallarta West Side Story, so to speak. {You and Your Wedding} Middle Row: Of course, when thinking black accent, damask is everywhere. I love the combination with this olive green ribbon. {Monterey Wedding} Also love the ocean blue with black/white combination and these invites are divine. {Wed Printing} I also like a silver/black/white combination and I think these invites are perfect for the bride who loves handmade, stylish invites. {ScrappyKy at Etsy} Bottom Row: Bottom we have two fab cakes - the first black/white/red cake I love for the leaf design. {Sedona Wedding Cakes} The second cake is a great floral design with wonderful pink floral accents - yum! {Bridal Inquirer} At bottom we have some great white/black accent wedding shoes. {Meg Belanger} I adore this simple, yet elegant centerpiece (and I think Gerbers are a little tricky to make elegant, but they really pulled this off!) {Stellina Events} Up top, we have an Asian inspired invite - really great ribbon touch. {Formal Invitations} And lastly, this is just a heart heart place setting with the black design plates and the dark pink flowers. {Pacific Weddings} Touches of Red I'll start with one of the trickiest combinations - because black and red are such dark colors, it takes a sleight of hand to ensure that neither one of these colors overpowers the whole setting. I was just thinking about this when I realized we have a black/white/red combination coming in November, so stay tuned. I started with this picture because it was just too fabulous and deserved it's very own mention. Heart heart the dresses, love the bouquet - just fab {Brides} This next design board is luscious and a perfect example of being just over-the-top awesome without going that just a bit more into the not-so-awesome. My heart goes pitty-pat with those bridesmaid dresses/wedding dress/bouquet combo. *sigh* {Vow Weddings} I absolutely adore when someone can take something that could come-off cheesy and turns it into something that's worth kisses and hugs and that would go to this next design board. For those of you who think hearts and love are "oh so whatever", I dare you not to like this one! {Green Wedding Shoes} Touches of Pink One shade over and we have the pink/black/white wedding - I think silhouettes, given a touch of Mexican flair, could be a great touch. {Totally Tabletops} A Touch of Peach Tricky but doable is what I say about this color combo. I'm not completely sold, but this design board did make me stop and say "maybe....it could be done...." {Banquet Event} A Shout of Yellow I mean, could yellow be anything else?! Wowzers, there it is! I mean, a color that takes after the sun is a color to get your attention. I personally think there is a bit too much damask in this table setting but, over-all, this is a great presentation. {Bride CA} This is just a great design board. I absolutely heart heart both the cake and the centerpieces! {Prima Dona Bride} Touch of Green I love using green accents - I don't know why exactly, other than it's just a great color and there are so many options that go along with it. This is a triple heart design board - I'm not sure which is better - the bouquets and bouts with black and white feathers or that amazing invite, the birdcage, the cake.... {Prima Donna Bride} Just a touch of damask really makes this design board stand-out. I was surprised to find that the invite in this design board is the same invite design as my black/white/red wedding in November - I checked - it's not their name on the invite. {Life Love Lipstick} A Touch of Blue A very simple, yet remarkably powerful design board. Creative, artistic, whimsical... {Style Me Pretty - Of course!} [b*This picture has to be seen on the blog as I was over the allowed picture limit....Mishka Designs' Blog: Black Accents.... We have a month chock-full of maracas, shake me tags, and, of course, Mindi & Morgan's Candlelit Wedding design/decor which we have been working on for about a year! I also have some surprises in store for you this wedding season that we've been working on during the summer - so, hop on and let's ride this wedding season wave together!

haha! Well, if there was one I didn't feel a thing and nobody here even knows there was one ... I just told my family and they were like "oh yeah? huh."

Felicidades and welcome to the forum! I haven't been to the Riu Santa Fe, but the Riu Jalisco is about 40 minutes north of Vallarta. It's beautiful out in Nuevo Valllarta but definitely a resort area. Vallarta is fun and lively .
