That's so exciting that your friends love the resort...I was so happy when everyone told me that they loved it and some have even planned a trip back! Oh, and definitely ask Ana for those chair sashes if you need them!! I would be so happy if someone else could use them

Laura..what package did you get? I am trying to decide if I need the ultimate package or not. We are spending so much on the photographer and videographer already. trying to see how to cut a little...but we want more time too. how can u add an extra hour?

We're planning to use it. I'll try to get some pics.

As for the petals, I have read on here that many people go to the walmart or sams in playa and some small mexican groceries to pick up live flowers (MUCH cheaper) and pull the petals from the those the day of or before. I think that is what I'm going to do. Of course, you have to hope they will have the colors you want but at least you can cut costs that way.

I am not bringing my own decor for the beach thingy, Ana told me they would have some there. So I hope she is right I am not sure about the flowers though, Ana told me they would have some but who knows what price they will be

The rose petals are $22 per bag, and someone else said that Ana had stated it would take 7-8 bags to get decent coverage on the walkway. I think it would be a lot cheaper to go to a little market and buy several dozen roses and just pluck the petals.

I am going to ask Ana (or Yazmin) about the beach decor. Someone on an earlier post quoted that it is something like $5 per chair for them to provide the decorations, whereas you can buy the same stuff in the states for 50 cents. However, some of the earlier brides also said they left their decorations for future use, so I am curious if Ana lets you use them for free, or if she tries to charge, even though they were donated.
