Additional Flower Options For Your Costa Rica Wedding

Previously, we explained that certain flowers were not available here in Costa Rica, but we gave some alternative options. Now we're back with more options for your floral needs:

We've got mums, lilies, snapdragons, and of course some gorgeous tropicals. They come in additional colors too, so the sky is the limit. Hopefully these get your creative juices flowing for flower selection!

Flowers of Costa Rica

Just as certain flowers are only available during certain seasons in other countries, here in Costa Rica we have certain flowers that are unfortunately never available, such as peonies, anemones, rannunculus, and lily of the valley. Not to worry! There are still plenty of gorgeous flowers to choose from: Orchids, roses, hydrangea, bird of paradise, ginger, calla lilies, daisies, as well as others.

Whether you want an all white wedding, or a wedding with bright tropicals, we can find the right combination to make beautiful bouquets, boutennieres, corsages, and centerpieces.

E-Save the Dates

A couple of weeks ago we posted about destination wedding paper goods. We always encourage formal paper invitations, but we understand that sometimes there isn't adequate time to send out paper save the dates, and we wanted to recommend a site for E-Save the Dates.

Pingg.com makes a great selection of E-vites for any occasion, including Save the Dates. In addition to choosing from the designs on the site, you can upload custom photos or artwork to really personalize your Save The Dates. 

 Pingg allows you to import contacts from Gmail, Outlook, and others. You can track when your E-vite was opened, if anyone has forwarded your E-vite, RSVPs, and more. Pingg can also send out reminders to those that haven't replied, and then remind those that are attending of the upcoming event. It lets you keep track of "yes" "no" and "no reply" RSVPs so you always have an accurate headcount. 

It really is an innovative way of sending E-STDs. Check it out!

A Second Dress

Many wedding gowns now are elaborately embellished, made of heavy fabric, and have super long trains. By all means, destination brides should be able to wear whatever dress they choose; however, changing into a dress after the ceremony and photos that is easy to move around in, that won't get torn up by the sand, and that will help them keep cool is a great idea for destination brides. This could mean a short dress, or it could just mean a more lightweight dress with no train.

 You could also consider switching from heels to flats for more comfort and mobility, so if you go that route, make sure your second dress is altered accordingly!

Destination Wedding Paper Goods

When destination weddings are concerned, informing your guests of all the details is of the utmost importance. Guests need to know when to take off of work, where they can stay, and any events you might have for them before or after the wedding, so save the dates with plenty of information followed by detailed invitations are a must.
