These are beautiful! And your wedding is in Tuscany, how romantic! I'm envious. Congrats!

I am so geeked about the churros! Hope it works out for you, and let us know what you end up deciding! I love the idea that Allie had of cream cheese frosting. Oh man, now I'm craving velvet cake with cream cheese frosting! haha Also, I'm not sure where you are at with your decor plans, but if you want to see a list of the things I'm renting out from my wedding with pricing and photos please send me an inbox message. I have lots of lighting, mason jars, lanterns, etc. Happy planning!

You brides have definitely created a beautiful wedding. I hope there are still a few women posting on here. My wedding is not till November 2014. Thank you! It was so fun to collect different items in our travels and put everything together to really express our own style. If you want a little bit more rustic vintage inspiration, here are the blog posts for our day before the wedding photo shoot, and our wedding split into two separate posts. If you have any questions let me know! Our photographers (Luckygirl.ca) are from Winnipeg, Canada and are AMAZING! They will be here in Riviera Maya, Mexico for all of next March if anyone has a wedding around that time down here.

My Dad lives in the States so we were able to send them to him to avoid the higher shipping cost, but maybe you could send them to a shipping place close to the border, depending on where in Ontario you live? Here's a couple photos of the stuff we ordered. We had them put our wedding logo on everything and it didn't cost that much more than getting non-logo ones from what I recall.

I am starting to think about decorations-- what to bring, what to buy from lomas, etc. We are having our reception at Plaza Zavaz. Did any of y'all bring Christmas lights to decorate the gazebo with? If so, how much of a set up fee did they charge you? ps- Thanks for all the help with all of your posts. I've been reading them like crazy for the last few months and it has really helped me fight against "the fear of the unknown..."

I'm planning to bring Christmas lights and had planned to bring a lot of other items for decorations like chair sashes and other linens. I'm re-thinking that plan after reading the other comments. Maybe they are right since I've just started ordering stuff for OOT bags for 45-50 people.Welcome to AS Brides Forum.Jenny Hey ladies! I have exposed bulb lighting and Christmas lights leftover from my wedding down here if you are interested in doing an affordable rental! I live in the area and am hoping to help some fellow brides avoid outrageous wedding prices. Some of the prices they quote you, you actually have to laugh at. So ridiculous! If you rent from me uou can tell your WC you brought them yourself to avoid outside vendor fees. Send me a PM for more info if you'd like! Congrats on your upcoming weddings, and happy planning! Here's a photo of our lights and paper lanterns that we used at our wedding, and are available for rent:

I didn't know lomas had them. Quote: Originally Posted by JMK923 Hi Jess! Same here, I was trying to bring less bulky items with me. The bird cage card holder is $30 (which is very close in price to others I've found) and the sandboxes are $20 each. I didn't see these on Lomas' planning site, I just asked my WC. There are a few other items that aren't on the site but they were able to accommodate my requests. If there's something you are looking for I suggest just asking Hey ladies! Congrats on your upcoming weddings! If there's anything you are looking for decor wise that is a little on the pricy side when getting rental quotes from your resort, such as mason jars, lighting, lanterns, burlap/lace tables runners, or birdcages, please send me a PM and perhaps I can rent you some of the things left over from our wedding. We were married in May in Tulum and live down here in Playa Del Carmen. Happy planning!

Can anyone post them as a photo in this thread, or maybe email them to me please? maps.doc

Here's our rings on our wedding day! We had nautical and vintage travel elements in our wedding, and I love how creative the photographers were with the different shots. They were so great with the little details: luckygirl.ca
