  1. YES, they can absolutely do that. They will pretty much do whatever you request. I used my florals from the beach ceremony, to the reception as the centerpieces. A great way to save $$!
  2. We held our bonfire the night before the wedding for all of our guests. It was from 8-10 on the beach. The lighting was provided and included in the cost! We only paid for the basic cost, an open bar on the beach, and the sound system, which we ran my ipod through! I included the information about the event on the 'travel brochure' that was sent to all guests who had booked, about a month before the event. I called it the 'welcome bonfire', as it was the first event to formally include everyone!! It was alot of fun, and totally worth it !
  3. I walked down to an Instrumental Version of "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison. LOVE THIS SONG, and my husband is a huge Van Morrison fan ! It was a surprise! I get goose bumps everytime I hear it now!
  4. Thank you! I actually made the sandals myself. If you are interested I can make you what you need custom to your colors and jewel preferences. And I bought my White sandals from Dillard last summer. I only wore them once and will sell them for $50
  5. Processional Songs Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Israel Better Together: jack Johnson Marry Me: Train Parents Entrance: cant remember , a song my husband chose! Bridal Party (walk down paired together): Instrumental of "A Little Help From My Friends" by Beatles Bride Entrance: Instrumental of "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison Recessional: "Signed Sealed Delivered" By Stevie Wonder Reception Wedding Party Entrance: "Lets Get it Started" by Black Eyed Peas Reception Bride & Groom Entrance: "Walking on Sunshine" First Dance: "Lifetime" by Ziggy Marley Parents Dance" "In My Life" By Beatles Cake Song: "All of My Love" by Led Zepplin
  6. We used Marvin, and LOVED them! There should not be an additional vendor fee . . they are a preferred vendor. We went back and forth, ALOT, before we finally came to mutual agreement on pricing and style. I highly recommend them! They provided the boutinerres, hair flowers, corsages, aisle decor floral arrangements (which we then used as reception table centerpieces), and boughets.
  7. I thought the same thing about the upgraded tablecloths, LOL! We actually rented detailed overlays from a local vendor (@ $18 each), purchased chair sashes and matching napkins (less than a dollar each @ weddinglinendirect.com), and purchased satin ivory table cloths.I also made each chair sash ring with the starfish to accentuate it. I was actually more concerned about seeing the actual product (to make sure the color matched well), to feel more confident about what I was working with ! However, from seeing other weddings while I was there, you can be assured they all look amazing!!!
  8. I sent you a PM with clips from both Caribbean Trio and Mexican Mariachi. We chose Mariachi, but I would probably choose the Caribbean trio if I did it over again OH, and we had about an hour and 10 minute gap between ceremony and cocktail hour so we could do photos in the mansion. AND, we still missed almost the entire cocktail hour, LOL! Our guests didnt mind the gap in time, because they went to the outdoor sports bar and watched football
  9. Hi Rachel! Welcome and Congrats! This website, and specifically, this forum, will become like a best friend to you in your planning, LOL! We were married in October of 2012, and were extremely satisfied with SMB. We utilized a travel agent, Chuck Joyce, with Gosecrets.com, and also extended better than posted rates for our 45 guests. Please feel free to PM me any questions Happy Planning!
  10. I had so much fun making my jewlery for my girls and I. I purchased my items at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and a wholesale bead outlet in Houston. Please PM me with any questions!! A piece of advice, buy the bead glue! It is essential for when you tie it off at the end Happy beading!
  11. LOVE THIS! Thank you for sharing ! You look absolutely stunning and SO HAPPY!!!! CONGRATS!
  12. We honored our dogs who could not make it many ways: 1) Table #s from engagement photos that were taken with dogs 2) Wedding topper custom made to include the dogs 3) I ordered custom cuff links and bowtie in gray linen to match my husbands suit, and a pink dress to match my bridesmaids. Then I took photos of the doggies. I surprised my husband with life size cutouts of the dogs made and shipped to our resort. I had them set up at the chuppah (girl on my side, and boy dog on his side) as a surprise! he LOVED them!!!! 4) I used the dogs photos (from taken with custom outfits) and made my husband his 'wedding day card" with the front photo of the dogs 'We are so excited your are marrying our mom today!"
  13. We used our engagment photos as our table numbers for our reception. I had them printed in black and white on a 5x7 frame, and then added a decorative number!
