I think this would be mainly because fake petals would not be eco friendly and could pose a potential threat Like I said that would seem like a logical explanation.

I sent my CC info in and about 4 weeks went by and I received and email from Claudia stating that my credit card was declined. I then received a call from my bank stating that my Visa Check card cannot be used over seas. I was unaware of this but was glad to know because I would be up shits creek if I decided to use this card while in Mexico. Anyway, I then sent her my Discover card information. I then received and email stating they DO NOT TAKE DISCOVER..OK...so now I will send another credit card..For goodness sakes will you take my payment already!!!! LOL!!!

Sorry for the delay but I have not checked this thread in a while but I actually was put in touch with the "lounge decorators" directly through Claudia. Just email her and tell her you are interested in the lounge set up and the lady will email you. I am sorry I have no prices to post since I have yet to follow uo with the decorators but as soon as I do I promise to post.

Awesome post and pics!! Thanks!

If they give my day away again, I'm changing my display name to "crazy bride" If you get the date, which I hope you do, it will be the day after mine. You can come to crash my wedding!!

I'm pissed. FYI...There have been no weekends available in May since February. That is an extremely popular month. This is why I settled on June 13..LOL!! Good Luck!

I am soooo jealous!!! We are getting anxious and we still have another 11+ months!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR FINAL PLANNING!!!

Same here.... She did email me bouquet options and some other stuff. As for the Lounge set up, that is through a seperate Vendor. I got an email directly from the vendor.

It would be my educated guess that the job was a little to much to handle!!! LOL! Heck I don't think I could do the job, I can barely plan my own wedding!!!

I was searching around yesterday and found this site that has some virtual pictures. here is the link: Dreams Cancun - Dreams Resorts It gives you a great virtual tour of some of the rooms,pool bar and some other areas around the resort...Happy Viewing!!!

Actually, I think you hair blowing around in the pictures made them them all the more breath taking. After looking t your photos, I decided to go with my hair down!

Also what does lounge decoration mean? (pics) I am actually waiting on a price back from the decorators. Claudia got me in contact with them so it is all done through dreams.

Quote: Originally Posted by cancunbride thank you for the responses everyone Im still undecided on where to have it, just as I am indecisive about having bridesmaids and MOH I have lots of close friends and dont want everyone getting hurt... This is never an easy decision. If you are like me you have several friends who have earned the title MOH. Unfortunately, someone always gets their feelings hurt, its how they handle the disappointment that really makes them your friend. I am sure you will make the right decision. Remember a MOH is a huge responsibility and its not always the one closest to you that makes the best candidate!

Quote: Originally Posted by cancunbride they are great!!! I am almost done completing the questionnaire that she sent me but I have a few questions... Im having about 45 guests so this mean buffet style! I didnt want that just cause I wanted my guests to be served. Does anyone know anyone who had their ceremony on the beach? I would assume its going to be too windy and cold at night.. I am planning mine on the beach. My FI will have it no other way...he loves the photos of the beach reception. I am getting married in summer so it will be a warm breeze in the evening. I don't think "cold" will be an issue. It's windy but not bad enough for a sandstorm I dont have the package price per person price with open bar if I go with buffet since Im going with the Ultimate Dreams package.. Anyone know it.. I attached the prices of the bar Im thinking maybe getting married at 4pm I think all weddings end at 10:30pm, right? I think the reception is for 3 hours not a specific ending time. Is a wedding rehearsal necessary? Not if you do not have a whole wedding party. I have only flower girls, MOH and BM. So we do not need a rehearsal. Anyone have pictures of the Garden Area or Club Terrace? Im trying to decide where I want my reception...suggestions? http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t22621 List of Prices Weddings 2007-2008.doc

Quote: Originally Posted by lucy106 Jill has said yes it is windy but its not an annoying blow the sand all over and in your eyes kind of wind. I wonder where the beach ceremomy is held, maybe somewhere more secluded? Did you find out Stacey? From what I have read from past threads, there is only one area that you can have the reception. Not sure how "secluded" it is but you only have one option. You can kinda see in the picture below that it is no far from the gazebo...
