Purchasing Centrepieces In Playa Del Carmen

[MrsMeis]

Hi everyone!

We are getting married at the Grand Sunset Princess in May 2017! We were considering bringing our centrepieces down with us (to save money since centrepieces are so expensive at the resort). We were thinking a simple mason jar with flowers? Not 100% sure yet.

I'm wondering if anyone waited until they were at the resort and go into the markets or Walmart to get centrepiece decor?

I'm just trying to decide if it would be easier to get it there or just check an extra suitcase and pack everything in there!

 

Thanks!!

Hola @@MrsMeis!

Congratulations for your wedding; Grand Sunset Princess is a great resort, you are going to love it and May is a good month for a wedding.
This forum was created to help you and being a local here in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and the Riviera Maya, i can tell you that you could find some mason jars anywhere and flowers here:

There is a walmart in downtown playa del carmen and other discount shopping. I cant tell you for certain if you will find all that you are looking for. I chanced some items to buy down in Mexico instead of bringing them and was disappointed in the limited selection I found. If you have time and money, try it, otherwise bring it OR I HIGHLY recommend renting decor/centierpieces from Love and Lace Wedding Decor...Katy is a woman down there who owns the company and rents out wedding items and decor at reasonable prices and makes the process easy. Here is a link to her facebook: https://www.facebook.com/loveandlacedecor/?fref=ts

 

and here is a link to her website    http://loveandrum.com/marry-me-katy-mikee-in-tulum/

 

I rented string lights from her, paper lanterns, glass cylinders for my centerpieces, and many other items. Check her out.

@@MrsMeis  So exciting you are getting married 10 days after us (:  I still haven't figured out my centrepieces either - but I think we will bring our own down. I am thinking something simple as well. We are adding the floral arrangements to our alter so I am planning on using those flowers for centre pieces and bringing some form of vase, bowl or mason jar to display them. I will be going Pintrest crazy in a few weeks to start figuring this all out. 

 

What days are you flying in?
