You're welcome! I checked out the cd, and while it has a lot of info on it, it doesn't have photos of the spa ... I'm going to email the manager and see if they have any .

My other idea was to have them each have their own color (one with pink, one red, one orange) and then my bouquet could either be a combination of colors or white? The tables are trickier to incorporate the blue. I am going for fun, tropical, simple. I could always make a couple of table runners... hmmm.... Just based on the little information you gave me, my instinct would be to do something like this: Your bouquet would be super colorful with the reds, pinks and oranges. Your bridesmaid's would have all-white bouquets with colorful ribbons (perhaps one color per each bridesmaid - not sure). The the tables, (again just relying on the information given), I think glass fish bowls filled with water and dyed teal blue with gerbers floating in it would look nice on the white tablecloth - then I would go for a teal colored napkin OR wrap the napkins in teal ribbons with a flower in the middle (perhaps alstromeria in the colors of pink, red and orange). If you wanted to really make this idea pop, I would add a bamboo runner under the fish bowls to really give it a more "tropical" air. Another direction to take it would to use to ginger, birds of paradise and alstromeria for your bouquet and also incorporate those flowers into your table centerpieces. This would really make the design very "tropical" in feel.

Hey guys! I was called into a meeting with the Marriott today and had a really interesting meeting that I thought I would share with you. First, they are doing a restructuring and remodeling of things and I think the end result could be fabulous! What that means is: 1. They are now allowing someone who wants to do a wedding there to do their wedding WITHOUT having to stay there. This is super rare in Vallarta - nearly all hotels that I know of in the bay require that you stay at their hotel in order to have your wedding there. 2. They have an AMAZING, incredible, AMAZING (did I say amazing? ) spa! I had no idea they had remodeled and recreated their spa. It's $$$, eh, but absolutely beautiful, tranquil and oodles of options. Here's a website that talks a little about it Puerto Vallarta Ohtli Spa. They gave me a cd with photos on it but I haven't had a chance to see if this includes photo of the spa or not. I can't even explain how beautiful the spa area was - I need to see if I can find some good photos . 3. They are remodeling their rooms (very quietly and floor by floor) - expected to be completely finished by Oct 31st this year! And the new remodeled rooms are GORGEOUS!! The decor is not something that you typically see in a hotel room - feels more like a cozy home. Also, they have wireless in all the rooms and hook-ups on the desk that are really great - with various outlets for things like video games, IPODs, computers, etc. The tvs are the flat paned tvs. 4. They are in process of remodeling their salons (their banquet hall) and one of their restaurants. The manager told me she would invite me back when they have it all finished. BTW - with all this remodeling going on you would think it would be noisy and obvious - but it wasn't at all. I was super impressed with the company that is doing the work there - not only with the final result, but also with the way they are working. If the manager hadn't told me they were remodeling I wouldn't have had any idea. I talked with them about response time to emails and about how important that was to North American brides - the response I received was very positive and I do think they are going to look into how they can restructure things so that their coordinators have more time to answer questions, etc. All in all, good meeting and I was absolutely impressed with the changes they are making at the hotel. Just wanted ya'all to know!

Now I am kind of wishing I picked orange or pink! Oh, I don't think you should wish that! That's a beautiful dress and color .... there are A LOT of color combinations you could do with teal - a lot depends on what you personally like! I think teal and chocolate brown (and white) are still a strong color combination My favorite combination right now is a teal color with like a mango or a pappaya - I've seen this pop-up somewhat recently and I think it could look really amazing. Teal and red is also a good combination. Teal and white with an accent orange could be really pretty. Teal and lime green - another good combo!! You have lots of options!! As far as decor goes - well, that's a little trickier because I really think that is dependent on what kind of wedding you are going for - something really beachy, something classical, something exotic, something tropical, something more "mexican", etc.

Hooolllly cow! I don't know if anyone else has tried, but I've been trying for two weeks to get someone on the phone to answer some questions and can't get anyone. Appears the manager is only there from 1-1:30 and then again from 10:ish p.m. a few minutes here and there. I was given the name of Nancy Orozco and a number of 322-145-2264 but no one ever answers or returns the messages I left. Sometime when I'm downtown I'll try to talk to someone personally and see if this is really a viable place or not. Feel bad now I even recommended it!

Someone just pointed this villa out to me, I haven't been up there to see it in person yet. It looks amazing, so I just wanted to put it on the bridal radar, so to speak . Casa mis Amores - Luxury vacation rental in Sayulita, Nayarit, México

The blog is out - this mid-month I talked about different beach themed ideas, as we are on the beach, I thought it was appropriate . Mishka Designs' Blog: Beach Weddings Every Which Way!!
