Thanks for posting this. I always wondered how the garter toss started. Quote: Originally Posted by Nan Throwing the garter began in France when pieces of the bridal attire were considered lucky.

In the United States, the groom traditionally removes the garter from the bride and throws it to the unmarried men. The man who catches it is thought to be the next to marry.

Great Pictures!

Wonderful Idea with the Pineapples! Love it!!

Thank you ladies for sharing. This is a great thread.

What an amazing job! It looks like it fits you like a glove.

Hey Tori, That lilly is a real one from Sam's Club. I was experimenting with centerpieces in my kitchen. I'm planning to find a florist in Playa or go with the resort's florist for single stemmed lilies to cut back costs.

Hi Ladies, I'm interested in putting together a sexy book for my FI as a wedding gift. Glamour Shots Studios does boudoir photos now? I remember back in the day they did big hair and fuzzy photos. They are currently doing a Valentines Boudoir special and I'm curious of how it will go....http://www.glamourshots.com/bookonline.asp?promocode=IS39S1112&referer=msn Has anyone tried them out for this? How did it go?

Stacey, Have you been to the GPR before? I just found a map of the resort this morning. http://www.mexicobeachexperts.com/maps/gran-porto-map.pdf Where are you holding the cocktail hour? Is the Trade Winds aka for the North Beach?? How guests are attending? When are you coming back? So excited for you! Please let me know how things go when you return.

The resort is wanting to charge me $60/table for centerpieces and it wasn't even all that cute. I am taking matters into my own hands. What do you ladies think of this? It only cost me $17!!!!

Thanks for sharing and helping the future brides!

These are great ideas. Thanks for sharing ladies!

Tammy this is a great idea! My head is spinning planning my Gran Porto June Wedding.

Stacey - How are plans coming along? You are getting married in less than a month! Where are you having the ceremony and recpetion?

Alright ladies, after several different tires I think this is it! What do you think? Less than $17 per table (excluding one luggage fee). I can pack 6 of these centerpieces in ONE luggage and still have room for table runner/table linens & chair sashes. Dollar Store: 1 Candle stick 1 Flair Top Vase 4 White Jar Candles = $6 Walmart: 1 Bag of Large seashells for 6 table centerpieces =$5 Ebay: 2 Giant Real Starfishes =$ 10

Thank you soooooo much for starting this thread! I am Asian-American and have only been at a handful of American weddings and this is helping me out tremendously!

You looked beautiful in your dress. The ruffles were a great wow factor for the beach.
