Everything looks so amazing. How did you make the vases with the orchids?

Hi!
Definitely steal the idea for the tag holders, but just remember, only the guests who book suites will get key cards, the rest get actual keys. Everyone gets towel cards though, so it is useful regardless.
We gave the DJ CDs. I was not going to count on him having an iPod doc or cable to hook it into his system. He had a selection as well, but if you have specific songs you want to play, definitely bring your CDs. I found a lot of his music to be techno/dance remix type songs.

I hope that helps!
Best of luck!

Hi!

We bought cylinder vases and the floating candles at a craft store (my mom actually brought these with her to save me the hassle). Then I bought a bunch of silk orchid leis from a website: Save on Crafts, Wedding Supplies, Flowers, Tulle, Lights, Decorations & Discount Craft Supplies Save-on-crafts. I cut apart the leis and used them for both my hanging flower garlands and also the flowers floating in the water in the vases.

I hope that helps!
Best of luck!

Thanks! For the hanging flowers, you bought the orchid leis and just cut them and hung them? They were long enough? Sorry I am sooo not creative!! =(

Hi

 

Your wedding pictures are beautiful! I have a question for you...

How does it work when you take the free package they offer and you have a large # of guests? Is there a charge for extra people at the dinner? I am planning on having a beach ceremony and dinner at the restaurant and renting out the disco for 2 hrs after. Are there any extra charges because you had 28 people? I thought the free package said 10. Thanks so much.
