Where did you find totes at? It's hard to buy online because you don't know quality of it

Bags are from Jessica at the stylish scribe. She did my invitations, place cards, and bags. She was great to work with but stays super busy. The bags are alittle thin but everyone loved them. She was a destination bride that did all of her stuff DIY and then turned it in to a business. Here is a pic of my bag.

Is it worth paying to have a band or better to bring an ipod dock?

We are having our reception at the CECO Terrace. We have about 55 people in our party so we weren't sure if an ipod dock would be loud enough. One of Fi's friends is coming now and he DJ's professionally so he's going to DJ for us and we're just renting speakers from a local company so we don't have to lug speakers down with us.

 

I think with that amount of people an ipod dock should be fine! That's what we're planning to use at our Welcome Reception at the X-Lounge.

Would I have to rent speakers or is there something for it to plug into?

I was really thinking I would do my ceremony at the gazebo but the more I look at it, it seems backwards to me. Has anyone had their ceremony set up the other direction so that the beach/ocean are your back drop?

I wanted to have my ceremony there as well! But I didn't like the fact that our backs would be to the ocean...that was a severe design flaw in my opinion. So we'll be on the beach. LOL (Not to mention Nayeli said it was best with 40 people or less and we have 55).

The only way that the ceremony can take place in the gazebo is facing away from the beach due to the configuration of the podium and the areas for guests to sit. I believe they designed it that way because the area of the beach behind the gazebo is the end of the resort beach where they have most of the sailboats that guests can take out and those would be in the photos. However, the set up for the weddings on the beach is absolutely beautiful, it just will be a little bit windier so keep that in mind when planning your hair and veil!
