My fiancé and I came to Cancun to get married on the beach. In the US I am a wedding and event…read moredesigner so I planned on doing my own bouquet, headpiece, boutonnière and decor. I found Papeleria Cancun by searching craft supplies. I think I entered the back door which was fine because that is the side of the building which has the items I was looking for namely ribbon, wire, floral tape, pins. I ended up with a bag of materials to work with and the total cost was $35. US. Everything was cheap, the roll of ribbon was the most expensive thing at $14. US, but it was a nice quality satin and there are 108 meters on it. I got three dozen ivory roses at Walmart in Cancun for $5.US a dozen. One brilliant idea my fiancé had was to rent a huge box of beautiful shells for $40 dollars from a vendor in the Mercado. We used those to decorate the wedding area.

It's a gigantic store inside La Isla Shopping Village selling booze, chocolates, hundreds of bottles of hot sauce, ceramic plates and figurines, sombreros, serapes, clothing, beachware and god knows what else. One very cool thing we saw and partaked in was a table with about a dozen bottles of booze and a sleeve of plastic shot glasses - all there for your sampling pleasure. I had a shot of a flavored tequila that was muy bien. A smiling senorita walked by and said -"go ahead have another!". How cool is that?? We picked up some gifts to take home and thoroughly enjoyed our hour strolling though this awesome store.
