OMG! I almost forgot that I didn't show y'all my dress I will get pics today because I am going to the alterations lady to get some of the train cut off (yes, I know I am crazy, but the thing is SOO HEAVY). Yes, we have made final decisions. We aren't going all out in Mexico because my parents are throwing a huge typical reception when we get back, so I tried to keeps costs down as much as I could for Mexico. Here's what we have so far:
Cake: Vanilla Cake/Vanilla Icing with strawberry filling. We are paying extra for the fresh flower topper to match my bouquet.
Bouquet-I am getting the top picture in the blog. My mom wants me to ask for orchids too(my mom used to own a florist shop so if it looks bad she will doctor it up). I normally hate roses, but these look pretty and will match my dress really well.
Ceremony-We are doing the Royal WP because we have less than 50 guests. We will be getting the white chair covers and the mariachi band. We are bringing chair sashes and raffia fans for each chair ourselves.
Cocktail Hour-We are going to do this. WC hasn't said where, but I am willing to pay the extra $9 pp for cocktails if they don't have any space available for the complimentary cocktail hour (on the blog it says subject to availability). I just want our guests to be able to cool off and have somewhat a grouping of our guests so we don't lose any, haha)
Reception Dinner- We decided on Chilis. We are from Texas, and we love steak and seafood. I asked if we could be upstairs and I will let y'all know what her response it. Also, do they serve beer and wine at Chilis?
For music we will have the mariachi band during the ceremony and cocktail hour hopefully. For the reception I don't think we will do music. Probably just talk and have fun!
