Do you mean threads with actual "inspiration pics?" If so, I dont think there are many like that. I think I remember 1 thread that someone started, but it didnt really take off. I would try looking at planning journals or wedding reviews to get some inspiration.

I kinda wanted boat tote type bags. I got these because I loved the colors, but I still want those boat totes... If I don't find a buyer I will use them anyways, but I'm liking the boat tote style more

I have 25 of these bags. There are 8 in Hot Pink/Raspberry, 8 in Orange and 9 in Lime Green. I am asking for $60 for all 25 bags. I will take care of shipping. PM if you are interested. Thanks for looking! ETA: The size is 15.5"h x 15" with a 24" Handle Stock Photo:

Hey all! These are photos that were sent to RoryS. She asked me to upload them. Many thanks to her for getting us more photos!!! I *think* this might be lyales wedding!

Whoa... This is a bit broad... I would say pick a country first and work from there. I've heard that Mexico is more expensive than other areas, but I have no idea because I never looked into anywhere else... I think November is also a more expensive time to travel, maybe someone else can confirm that.

There are always issues and there are always alerts out. I don't think many people are concerned because the issues are not really located in the tourist areas that most of us will be in. Here are a couple thread about similar concerns. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t33880 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t33752

lmao!!! that was a good one!

Sounds great that we are starting to get some pictures of recent real weddings:) Is anyone using/renting vases or bowls to use for candles/decor? I emailed Jacy about this and can't get a straight answer on what will be available. My colors are blue and i was thinking about putting vases or tealight holders all along the wall around the gazebo. I thought either tinted blue glass or I may just use clear and fill with blue water or water and a floralyte in blue? I originally send my email that I sent to Jacy to baltobabe (from tripadvisor and the dreams forum) and she bc forwarded it to Mr. Guzman who replied to me after not hearing back from anyone. He is the general manager of the resort. If you are having trouble with Jacy maybe try contacting her first and she will do the same for you. She knows lots of contacts and is very willing to help. PM me if you need her email addy. She is not too hard to find

He said there's another wedding this weekend (I wonder if that's Lyales) and he's going to take the pictures himself... Interesting? I'll go in and edit out their faces. All the photos I have received have peoples faces in it. I think it would be a bit hard to take a photo with no faces in it. Regardless... I only care about how the set up looks. They can take the pics before people get there.

Thats the banquet room at the resort. I've seen photos of wedding with other chairs, so maybe there are options? I emailed Jacy a couple days ago asking about these photos that Mr. Guzman told me he would take and she responded in like 3 days maybe? This was a MAJOR surprise given that she never responded to my previous emails if any one remembers...

I would like to drape fabric over the middle top post the down the sides to kind of replicate the beach arch i showed iin an earlier post. Not sure how much fabric I would need though. Bianca did a great calculation for havingt fabric across the ceiling and said it would take maybe 5o yards for a piece from each corner to the center. Also, is anyone doing chinese lanterns in the gazebo? Are you using battery operated LED lights? I wanted to do this but then I wondered how to turn them on after they are hung. I wouldnt want them on during the day, but later in the evening(we are having our dinner reception in gazebo). Any ideas, experiences with this?? About my calculations... I was looking at the gazebo and there are 6 posts, not 4 like I thought. So I would add more to that 50 yards.

I have not done anything wedding related in weeks... ugh.

Some pics from a wedding about a week ago... The reception is in the banquet hall... I dont think I'm feeling it. Doesn't look like they did much to decorate either.

Try to be original and sincere people instead of being so automated. Bianca you should also take a look at http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21771 if you don't care for seeing all the newbie threads. It's a super helpful tip. Its not that big of a deal... Its just when 1 person goes in and greets 20 newbies back to back its a bit overwelming.

The only thing that bothers me about all the posting in the Newbie forum is that when you click the link to list all the "New Posts" those welcome posts always take over everything and its hard to find the posts that are actually about something.

I saw it too... I havent really watched the last season, so I was up late trying to catch up! I have about 10 more episodes to go... Thank goodness they are only about 20 minutes long!

I would get them all together and just smack all of them... jk. I would def point out how silly they are acting and make them realize. If not, maybe I can talk some sense into them so they stop acting this way and upsetting my date twin!

You might want to be careful with those. They are pretty small.

I grabbed some pictures that I liked of some bouquets..so we'll see...I saw a lot of real touch flowers at Michaels and you can also get them everywhere...on ebay, through some online websites..just google them and they're pretty cheap! As for bringing it along with you to the DW, I would suggest shipping it also in a box with the bubble wrap or the styrofoam "S" they look like! =) I have not seen any real touch flowers at Michael's. They only have silk and some latex/plastic types. Real touch flowers are not that cheap. They can cost as much as real flowers or more. Roses go for about $5 a stem. Orchids are at least $10. Peonies (which I am using) at $5 wholesale, not sure about retail. Callas (the medium florimatique) are about $7.
