Oh yeah...Ana did email me a form to fill out too when she emailed me the contract. So I filled it out, scanned it and sent that back to her along with contract and copy of my CC.

I think that they are the resort photographers. They will take pictures for any guests at the resort. On the facebook site for DRC, there are pictures that people had taken by them. That's weird...when I asked her about photographers back in sept/oct, she told me Juan Navarro and Sweet Caribbean (I think ) were the photographers. I wonder if they changed it??

I saw one of the ladies posted pictures of a stick with many string at the end for after the ceremony looked cute and now for the reception I am liking this idea of mexican fans and chinese lanterns? or would that be too much? Ana quoted me a crazy amount for chinese lanterns have any of you girls just bought the lanterns and brought it with, does Ana have the lights?

Sorry, I should have multi-quoted...I didn't realize I had so much to reply to

Anyway, I love those banners...so pretty and festive! Where would you hang them?

I'm planning to use the banners - somehow - I just haven't figured out how...and then I saw this cake picture on the knot that I'm in love with - I'm attaching it!

 

Annnnd I figured out how to add a ticker yay!

Laura, I have seen pictures when they are hang over top the tables and look beautiful. We are having a buffet dinner so instead I considered putting it around the buffet dinner to decorate. I am upgrading all the dinner table linen to turquoise overlays but its expensive for the buffet, so I might just keep that table white and do turquoise flags.

 

Also I am already sold on star lanterns for up above

For a basic one tone ones they are as cheap as USD 5 Solid Color 5 Point Star

and for the prettier multi-tone USD 8-10

Out of curiosity would any of the ladies here be interested in these ones I am done for a couple of bucks each?

I was just looking at those star lanterns today from that paper lantern site! I really love them. I had asked Ana how much they cost because I had seen them in a picture hung in front of the infinity pool and they looked really really nice. She told me $200. So, I was looking into buying them myself and I was trying to figure out though, how would they hang and would the battery lights last the whole reception?

Boo, those are really pretty! I haven't given too much thought to decorations yet, but I might be interested in using them once you are done, depending on what colors you get. I am thinking tentatively of going with a royal blue, turquoise, and yellow/orange color scheme. But that has changed before and could change again! Plus, I will be there not long after you so maybe Ana could just keep them there? Do you know if Dreams will hang them for you?
