@@upstatekj you are welcome!  The weather was pretty good for the majority of the time.  It was about mid to high 80's and high 70's at night with pretty decent humidity! It only rained a lot one day and just in the morning (we were on our way to the cenotes and by the time we go there it had stopped).  It would randomly rain for 10-15 min and then go away.  The weather reports were always worse then what ended up happening.  There was a really cool lighting show the night of our wedding, it was far away so it didn't affect us, just had a nice breeze which kept us cool!

@@victoriasalv - Thank you!!  I got both my hair and make up done there.  It was so great!  Angel did both and he was amazing and super quick!  I brought a bunch of picks of make up and hair ideas (pretty much the same thing, with slight variations) and had my sister and a few friends help narrow is down.  Unfortunately, he told me my hair wasn't thick enough for what I wanted lol.  But he made something similar happen and it looked exactly like I wanted from the front (which is the most important to me anyways).  

 

Honestly, the bouquet was so so much better than I expected!!  I had sent her a picture of what I had wanted and she said they could do something similar (just orange lilies and bright pink daises).  Jessica said they couldn't do turquoise flowers but the could do a turquoise ribbon (it was more blue than turquoise, but I didn't care).  So when I got the bouquet with the blue flowers and extra greenery I was thrilled!  I had even brought some fake turquoise and fillers just in case, but didn't even need them.

@@Sabes44 Well Angel did a fantastic job! I'm always anxious about other people doing my hair/makeup especially if I know i'll be in a bunch of pictures but its good to have a good endorsement!

 

Did you have to pay more for your bouquet because it wasn't something that was part of your package? I know they sent me a bunch of "options" but I wasn't sure...

 

It looked gorgeous!

Oh and this one goes out to all the brides, I read back and back a few pages ago that some ladies left items there for future brides to use, did any of you girls ask about this? Does this still exist, I know I plan to leave a few things!

Since the flowers were similar to another bouquet the offered, I didn't have to pay.  I just asked her if they could do what I wanted and sent a picture.  Since none of the flowers in the bouquet were "upgraded" flowers they were able to do it. 

 

I am always nervous about my hair and make up too and although it rarely turns out exactly how I planned in my head I always end up loving it and it looks perfect for the pictures.  Although nothing major went wrong there were a few hiccups (very minor ones!) and every time something weird happened we just said "It's Mexico!" and let it go.
