Wedding in Puerto Vallarta

Time to decide who will win a beach wedding! The 14 finalists in the Velas Resorts Wedding Contest have been chosen.

Thank you to all of our contestants for participating in the Velas Resorts Wedding Contest! We received so many incredible photos and histories that the Communications Committee had an extremely tough time choosing among all of the great entries. After much deliberation and debate, the 14 finalists have now been chosen! They were decided upon based on the pair’s history as a couple and the creativity shown in their photo. You can see all contest entries here: http://3.ly/9P32 and help your favorite couple to win here: http://3.ly/3NWv. The second prize winner has yet to be chosen! This prize winner does not have to be one of the 14 finalists, and will be based solely on the creativity displayed in the entry photo. Good luck!

To see all the wonderful entries again, take a look through the slideshow. Don’t forget to click on the actual photos to read the beautiful stories!

You found the guy. You’ve got the ring. You’ve set a date. Or maybe not. A lovely spring wedding with chirping birds or a brisk autumn affair beneath the changing leaves? A winter wonderland reception or a sultry summer celebration? From here it’s simple right- a dress, a guest list, a little cake and menu tasting? But no, now the stress sets in- there’s so many things to think about!

Venues, color schemes, flowers, bridesmaids, decorations, marriage licenses, big, small, everyone you know or a select few? Oh and the gosh-darned budget hanging over your head, everywhere you turn its numbers and items waiting to be checked off!

Get ready for something big from Velas Resorts. Something that just might help with the pre-wedding anxiety and planning. A contest like no other with a grand prize that will make your wedding planning breezy and your big day into a dream. Stay tuned for details!
