Thanks! it's usually dark around 530-6 ish... so the ceremony/reception would be completely dark... which would be fab with lots of candles/lanterns ETC!!

i bought 50, and made my own throwies.. i'll bring them all down and use what i use and not use what i dont need. lol. i didn't want to look like i didn't have enough, or too little. or too much for that fact but atleast having them there... gives the option of using them. i'll be selling them after anyways so if i buy too many then oh well, it's 1 brides lucks!!

OK, love the bouqet, but the colours are so dull, the first picture and 2nd picture truly look nothing alike! i would complain... but srsly the arangment it'self is gorgeous! good luck let us know what your plans are!!

My dad passed away 11 years ago, and I would love to have something to represent him. I had not really figured out how to work him in yet. Although I know we will have one of the BM or GM do a toast for those that can't make it, but are with us in spirit. i found a maker that lives in the US off ebay!

FABULOUS!! they look srsly soo good. i wish i had a nack for stuff, i DIY'd it too, but they look nothing like yours!

As for flowers, I don't really have a set type of flower in mind, just colors. I know my bouquet has to be white, purple and pink. It's a tribute to my Mom, since she is in a nursing home and won't be able to attend. And those are the colors of her wedding bouquet. I will really have to check out the sticky about local Mexico flowers. Hope the page has pictures! yea i almost had a heart attack when i seen his pants rings in as 445 i died a little inside that day. haha. i love the idea that you are goning to make a tribute to your mom who cant make it by using the same colours as her bouqet was. thats SO cute. i'm sure she will love it!! for my grandpa and baba who died i found super cute bouqet charms.. these are the images from the website, not my grandparents, but you'll get the idea.

i would go talk to a travel agent and tell them your dream, 9 times out of 10 they can make it a reality! goodluck!!

Haven't really decided on the bouttenieres or BM bouquets yet. Not sure about centerpieces either. I know that some types of orchids have to be specially ordered and shipped via Mexico City, but perhaps there are some orchids that are native to Mexico and more readily available? I know that dahlias are native to Mexico, so I'm assuming that those have good availability. I don't mind paying extra to have certain flowers shipped, but I'd like to know what's locally grown. If anyone can shed some light, please do this was my proof for my real touch flowers that i have changed a little bit like the ribbon etc but generally they are gunnalook like that. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...a-think-58666/ and my centerpeices i WAS thinking of doing 8" circle mirror glass with 3 different level candles with some petals around it and turquoise tealights,. now not sure. either that or a rectangle glass with limes and calalilies! or limes with those little water ball things lol and about flower avaliablility there is a thread for mexicos flower avaliablility under the flower and decoration thread, it's a sticky i believe!

gorgeous pics!!!!you look stunning!!!

yea i thought since so many people DIY that it would be usful, hopefully it is!!!

wow stunning!!! everything looks great! have a GREAT wedding day!!!!! ps LOVE LOVE LOVE your bangle!

#1 show ur curves!! LOVE IT!!!

This website is amazing, but its all a little overwhelming...I havent finished reading everyone's posts yet. We only have about 10 people booked at this point, but I'm pretty sure we will have between 30 and 40 guests - trying to gently remind people that they need to start planning. When are you guys going to mail out your invitations? Have you thought about when you will ask people to rsvp by? I thought I read that I have to supply the guest list 45 days prior to the wedding?? i sent out STD in january and then my invites in may, and my deadline was today for RSVP's. people that didnt answer to my RSVP's i;ve been calling.. lol. SRY BUT IM NOT WAITING AROUND FOR PEOPLE. IT's YES OR NO! haha.. anyways yea i sent out my invites because it had all the hotel info and travel info on it etc. and i'll probs send out somthing little to the confimed guests b4 we go!
