I don't think any of us will do the free golf... Does anybody have the file that has all of the flower options? I looked back in the thread and couldn't find any info on the bouquet options, hopefully I didn't miss it but there was a lot to go through.

I know the rocks change things, but imo it looks just as pretty as before. If you look at the pictures the others posted, the ceremony pictures in the gazebo don't look much different than before. I'm personally really excited for the huge new beach for me and my guests to enjoy!

Congrats and Welcome!

Congrats and Welcome!

I think the package comes with 50 pictures in the Album..He would up giving us 60, which was nice. He picks the phots that go in the album though. But he truly did pick the best ones. There were color & black & whit pics in the book. With all the special effects. If you buy the CD of All the pics he takes that day, you will see diferent versions of the same pic...The normal pic and then all of the special effects & lighting pics. Don't be sorry for asking questions! I am happy to answer. I was right where you are at this time last year Sorry about your Photographer :-( Thanks for the info! I've been e-mailing Juan to try to figure out what we want to add. I'm still deciding if we want to use him for a TTD.

Welcome!!!

Welcome! I've been to the Iberostar Grand and the Lindo and it's a great group of resorts! Very pretty! Happy planning!

At first, I was very upset and if you look at the pic on their Facebook page it does look like an eye sore. However, Claudia was so great to get back to me right away and send me some pics of recent weddings. I feel 100% better now because it is not that bad at all once you see the gazebo setup for the wedding. It's still the most beautiful destination wedding location out there!! So if anyone was concerned about this you can relax bc it is still gorgeous! :-) I can't post the pics on here because I haven't posted enough yet to have those privledges apparantly. haha If anyone is interested, I can send you the pics that Claudia sent me if you want to see what the gazebo looks like with the new beach. You can email me at [email protected]. So excited again! haha I can't wait to get married at Dreams. We sent our deposit this week. I'm glad to hear this! I e-mailed you as well

"The Gazebo column is 2.5 mts each in the lowest side. When we have the white drapes we have the ones are 5 mts long and 1.2 mts wide, we double covered them."

Email sent! I'll let you know! Is hair and make-up something I should make an appointment for now? I feel like there is all this stuff I should do but I'm not sure what or when!

Quote: Originally Posted by carolina24 hey ladies we want to bring our own gazebo decorations and as part of this I want to have fabric to put on each of the posts. Do any of you know the measurements, ie how much fabric I would need? Thanks! Thats a good question! I was wondering that myself. If nobody knows here I can send Cecilia an e-mail.

Quote: Originally Posted by SheenaMcDonald does anyone know if it gets really cold down on the beach at night, we are trying to decide on the beach or the grass, or terrace for the dinner and dance but I'm kind of worried that it will be really windy with sand blowing around near our food and cool into the night down on the beach. We are getting married in December so I realize it might be a little cooler than other times of the year I was in Cancun this past December and it did get chilly at night. I walked the beach with a light jacket and jeans and was fine but because of the breeze it did make it cooler on the beach than other places. The blowing sand has never really been an issue for me in Cancun because of the type of sand. I've been to other beaches that you can sit in a chair and get hit by sand when the wind picked up, but that's never happened to me in Cancun.

June 9th 2010!

I have them and they work pretty well with my hair. The medium and large sizes are pretty intense..but the small one works well for an everyday look. I would think the larger sizes would work well for an updo. I guess it depends on your hair because it worked well on mine (and a few of my friends) but we have thick long hair.

Quote: Originally Posted by peterpanpixiedust hmmm, I just emailed her again today and put "Urgent" and she got right back to me! She send me two attachments about payment. One was two options, the first being a certified check and the second... well, actually, i have no idea what it meant (maybe about wiring it directy to their bank?) and the other attachment was a form meant for a credit card... with no instructions as to where to send it or how much. So I printed the form and signed it , scanned in my license and credit card (both sides), allowed them to charge $500 (the deposit amount specified for the ultimate package on the website), and put a side note that we will finalize the details at a later date, scanned it again and sent it to Claudia as an attachment. Hopefully this works. And apparently according to Claudia, the 20 guests includes the bride and groom (not bride and groom plus 20)... did everyone know that? And I'm kinda sad about all the rocks on the right of the gazebo. Are they on the other side too (the pic only shows the right side because they were showing off the new beach)? Andim - apparently Himitsu beach (i think that's the small one) is located where the sun sets (or at least thats where Claudia said it does, and the sun rise is by the gazebo) so if you pick that beach, it will be very picturesque...i'm starting to think about that one. and it's by the lighthouse! Oh are any Dreams Cancun girls doing/or did a TTD at a cenote? If so, which one and do you have pics? Yay for finally hearing back! That's exactly what I did for payment so I'm sure that's all she needs. The other side of the gazebo is really pretty with the water, so I think the view will still be great. I didn't even think about the sunset, that would be really pretty on the Himitsu beach!
