ROYAL PLAYA DEL CARMEN BRIDES: were kids allowed for the day? ...and other questions

[LuckyGal4]

Hey ladies posted my review http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/80173/planning-my-big-day-at-the-royal-in-playa-del-carmen/20#post_1792337

I am gonna do a more detailed one about the actual resort as I think it is also helpful to know certain things about the place you are staying! Hope you enjoy let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for the reviews ladies! So helpful and you both are stunning brides!!

 

Right now I am trying to plan our decor...

 

LuckyGal what did you use for center pieces?

Could I see your photos? I'm considering the resort photographer but want to check out their work first. Scary!!

Jen-- Well its kinda a funny story, but I am ptetty sure that I didnt have any!! Maritza my off site wedding coordinator had sent me a pic of this box filled with sand, a candle and rose petals but when I had met with Zulma my on site wedding coordinator she told met that she had never seen that pic or center piece before. So I said ok well what do you use for the standard centerpiece then? She told me it was some sort of lantern thing, so I said ok thats fine. Well when I started looking at my pics, I noticed that the only thing on the tables where the sashes that I had asked her to put on the tables. So I thought centerpieces were a big deal but apparently not if I didnt even realize they were not there until I got back from Mexico!! lol we had a flower centerpiece at our bride and groom table, that came standard with the package so that was nice! I mean I am telling you that day/night goes by so fast and the things that you think are a big deal dont mean anything once you get in that moment! It was the best day I have ever had mainly bc I tried not to sweat the small things and just rocked on

I don't have them yet.  Still sorting through the proofs.  Should have them in about two weeks.  Some are good, some not so much, but it's like that with any photographer I guess.  I think we narrowed down 422 to about 70 that we want.  I got the package that lets you pick 60, so we are going to try to work out a deal to get another CD with the rest that we want.  She had some cute ideas and definitely worked hard.  The lighting isn't always right but I can adjust that in my photo editing program if I have to.  She was very nice and even went over time a little.  She took any pictures I asked her to take.  As soon as I get them I will post some.  I don't regret having her at all.  Quite a deal for $659.

Oh my goodness that is funny!! Yes I am beginning to think that all theses "little details" will not matter when the day is actually here.  I am also seeing how all of these "little details" can add up $$.  We chose a destination wedding to keep it simple and it's kinda hard to stick to that when alot of options are presented to you. Lol I am happy to know you didn't have any center peices and didn't even notice!
