A coworker of my FI recommended to us Las Carmelitas as it supposedly has the best veiws. Here are some links to reviews. Basically great views but overpriced for the food (you are paying for the sunset) Gorgeous view; Otherwise not worth it - Review of Las Carmelitas, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - TripAdvisor Las Carmelitas Review | Puerto Vallarta | Fodor's Restaurant Reviews Las Carmelitas in Puerto Vallarta Mexico Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - Best Vantage Point: Las Carmelitas

Jess, I LOVE your bachelorette pic! It looks like you had soo much fun! Hey Jess, I don't have enough points to open your attachment, don't have time to get enough I suppose!

Would you mind sending it to me at email address removed? Also, if you have the 2009 price sheet I'd love to see that as well. Thanks a million! Jaclyn

I'll start a new thread and get one ordered with a cute little log book. Any takers? Great idea! Let me know what I can do to help with this. =) Jaclyn

And I think Rebeca said that for the centerpieces, the $55 is just for the flowers unless the candles are incorporate with the centerpiece, she sent me some pics where they were. But I could totally be wrong. I know she did quote me $80 for tealights around the pool, which to me is TOTALLY silly since I can buy 100 for $5 at Ikea. But I think I am going to suck it up for the $55 for the centerpieces since I don't see myself lugging stuff down there for the centerpieces and then wanting to lug it back. Jill can't wait to see the pics of your welcome bags!! My fiance wants to wait to make them until we are down there so we don't have to carry all the stuff down there which is totally making me panic but I am going to see how I feel closer to the wedding! Hey Jessica, For our OOT bags we have bought half the stuff here and will go into town prior to our families arriving and buy local goodies as well. To make it easier to pack, we aren't going to assemble the bags until we are at Dreams. My mom is going to divvy up the items that will go in each male/female bag. She will then place all the small items per bag in zip lock bags to pack on the plane. Once we arrive at Dreams will will spend a few hours unloading the zip locks into each bag and adding the larger contents as well. Shouldn't take too long or be too much of a hassel plus it will be much easier to pack for the plane ride down. Good luck on this! Jaclyn

And then there are two decor packages that include the chairs. I will attach it just so you can see it for yourself. Wow, I have been gone for a week and there were over 30 new posts to catch up on! Hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend and got some time to relax before all of our big days!!! =D I'll be replying to several of these posts in the next few minutes... Regarding the tiffany chairs; I was told back in the beginning of the year the cost was $6 each. Love how their prices keep changing. Even at $6 though with over 70 people that adds up for something that no one will remeber as y'all said. Other than my FI who totally wants them... I swear I think he wants to be the bride and plan all the decor and spend way over budget!! Jaclyn

Let me know if anyone needs me to check anything out Hi Jess, Wish I could go on a site check as well; relieve some of the stress from not knowing and having no control over here! =P If possible, can you please bring back the current schedule for their nightly activities... day, theme and time? Also, the current schedule for the restaurants? Which night each restaurant is open and from what time? I don't trust their website and Rebeca has mentioned out of dates items regarding the wedding info. Thanks a million and have fun! Jaclyn

Has anyone had any experience or know anything about freeze dried petals? Would they work to cover the wedding aisle and possilby on the tables? I am wondering if they would look good/hold up for the wedding if I got them a few weeks beforehand. And I don't know whether freeze-drying holds the color and shape? I am getting married on the beach in November. Please help if you can!! Thanks! Jaclyn

I am wearing my long hair down and wavy/curly. I am thinking of an orchid about 2.5in behind my right ear. I think a lily would be too bid and overpowing. Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, photos, etc? Thanks! Jaclyn

The lady who made mine was butterfly enchantress on etsy.com just a thought.... Thanks for sharing Jill. I just went to your thread (clearly I need to get out and browse more of these threads!!) and your flower is beautiful. I am going to check out butterfly enchantress right now!

That is a beautiful hair flower! I bought a few things from etsy so I will check out butterfly enchantress. I was thinking I wanted the real deal but at $30 a pop and for me and my three bridesmaids I think I would rather a silk flower that we can all keep and possibly even wear again! Thanks for sharing Jill.
