Love your OOT bags!! And I'm sure your guests love them as well! Great job

Very nice I really like the first one!

Everything looks great!! And I love the vow cards!!

Thank you so much for sharing...I am in the process of getting my music list together and it has been so stressful for me since I hardly know the names of songs or who sings them! LoL so this is very helpful

What a lovely place!!

Sounds like everything went very well!! Thanks for sharing

I will do that! Thanks so much for all of your help/advice/suggestions!

Hey ladies! I'd love to get together for lunch/dinner or maybe margaritas sometime! Weekends are usually best for me also....let's plan something

I may be interested in some of them also...are you able to post pics?

Luck you!!! She is coming to Milwaukee in Sept. and I would LOVE to go see her, but the tickets are so expensive! Maybe next time...lol

I was wondering how many active Costa Rica brides are on this board. I'd love to hear from all of you! When and where area you having your wedding? Why did you choose Costa Rica? How has the planning process been? And anything else you'd like to share

The hike across the Osa Peninsula sounds really fun...where can I find more info on this? Is end of May a good time of year to do this?

Thank you for all of the suggestions...I will certainly look into them! Ask.CostaRica, do you think I'll be ok just going with the flow and not making reservations in advance? Or should I try to book as much as I can? And which of these places is the least touristy...we really enjoy traveling off the beaten path and love nature/hiking/adventure...plus a little beach time would be nice! I would really love to spend some time somewhere where we can mingle with locals and very little or no English is spoken so I can immerse practice my Spanish

Thanks for the info Ask.CostaRica....I am actually not planning on using Sarah since my fiance's friend has agreed to cover the wedding for us, but I do appreciate all of the great feedback I have received from you on this site and I'm sure other brides looking for a photographer will appreciate the heads up

Let's try to post that dress again...I forget which photobucket code to use!

Thanks for the suggestions ladies...they are very much appreciated! I've been thinking about the ideas given to me and I really like your idea Sapphire about tying the girls together with some sort of accessory...I like the idea of trying to find something like a sash, purse, brooch, etc! I will begin my research for that! I also think silver or gray for the fourth girls dress...but do you think it should be pattern or solid? And for my daughters dress, I think you are right sapphire about her being old enough to be a bridesmaid and that white might be distracting...so I'm scratching that idea! lol As for the guys attire...I'm still up in the air....I never thought of having them wear gray shirts, but that sounds like it might work! I'm not sure the fuchsia tops would go over well with all of the guys Ayita but gray really does sound like a nice choice! LynnieS do you have a picture or link to the attire your guys are wearing? I'd love to see how that looks! Here is a picture of my dress (unaltered) if that helps any....but I think it's a little hard to tell with the lighting which color stands out more?? My face is blocked out because I was going to sell this dress online, but have decided to keep it.

I'm really struggling with the wedding attire here ladies!! My dress is strapless with an ivory silk under layer and diamond white lace over it. My original color scheme was fuschia and grey....while doing my shopping and planning I found myself drawn to the damask pattern, so I have decided to incorporate hints of that into my wedding as well. I have 4 bridesmaids and have decided not to pick out their dresses for them...one of them chose a black dress, another choose a dress with the damask pattern: White House | Black Market - Diamond Rose Dress another choose a fuchsia dress. I am also having my kids walk down the isle together (15 yr old daughter and 5 year old son.) So my first question is...should I have the fourth girl choose a gray dress and my daughter a white or ivory dress to incorporate all of the colors? And will it look strange with only one girl wearing a print? My second question is...since my dress is both ivory and white...what color top should the guys wear? White or ivory?? And would it look weird if my fiance wore black linen pants and the rest of the guys wore gray? I'm not the best at details and I'm just trying to figure out how to pull this all together nicely....any thoughts?? I'm running out of time and getting kinda stressed by this!!

The starfish idea is so unique and looks really nice!!

I think a journal is a great idea...I did buy one for the trip, but I may start to use it ASAP...now wishing I would have started it earlier!! Oh well, better late then never

I ordered mine from Etsy: Custom with your wedding color for ribbon Black by ElegantlyBound Still waiting to receive it though..and I ordered it 3 months ago

I vote for the second one

I love the booklets!! You did a great job

Very creative...I love them!

Yay!! I was actually able to open some of these...thank you so much for sharing them!! I especially love the water bottle labels!! Too cute

That turned out great!! I'm always so impressed by the creativity of the ladies on this board! I may even have to give that one a try
