We loved the resort! We stayed in the honeymoon suite- it was 2 stories, plenty of room, huge bathroom for me and the bridesmaids to get ready in, and a gorgeous room! Didn't bother me one bit that the rooms weren't as up to date as other places. We had a great wedding and a great vacation!

And none of the guests cared one bit- the ones who spent a little extra to upgrade from the garden view. We were hardly in the rooms anyways, and it's not like they are gross, just not "luxurious"

Hi Briannarae23,

 

I wanted to ask about the rooms at Dreams. I am in the process of choosing between Now Jade and Dreams Cancun, but I am nervous my guest will notl ikethe dated rooms. How was your experience?

We loved the resort! We stayed in the honeymoon suite- it was 2 stories, plenty of room, huge bathroom for me and the bridesmaids to get ready in, and a gorgeous room! Didn't bother me one bit that the rooms weren't as up to date as other places. We had a great wedding and a great vacation!

I got married at dreams last year- please check out my add for all of my used table linens and chair sashes, bride groom passport covers, starfish, lanyards, welcome postcards and room key holder cards. I just looking to get rid of all of it to the same person to avoid shipping everything separately and I know that only someone getting married in Mexico will want this stuff bc the postcards say Mexico! Fuchsia, lime green, and bright orange linens. Look at the add for pics! Happy to answer any questions anyone has about dreams also! Anything I can do to help any future dreams brides!

Do yo uhave a picture of the Bride & Groom passport covers? How much are they

 

 

 

 

I can send you pictures but I am really trying to sell this stuff all to one person to avoid having to ship everything separately. If I haven't sold it all in a week or so I will consider selling everything separate.

where did you get the yellow starfish? and how much are you selling them?

 

 

 

They aren't yellow! They are just natural colored starfish and I bought them at hobby lobby! I would really rather sell all these items to the same buyer and avoid shipping multiple times, if I can't get rid of them in a week or so then I may consider selling them separately.

also I really would like to sell all of these items individually and not seperate!  Call or text me at 850-380-9551 or email me at [email protected] to reach me immediately!

I have so many items I have procrastinated getting rid of! They need a new home and have all only been used once.  I was married last april at Dreams Cancun.  A detailed list of the items are:

 

29 LARGE SIZE welcome to mexico postcards (picture attached)

11 lanyards - black and white

1 box lanyard inserts (100ct) - "to have and to hold...your room key" - (picture attached)

3 satin table runners - bright orange, lime green, fuschia

2 orange organza table cloths

1 fuschia organza table cloth

29 lime green satin chair sashes

10 fuschia organza chair sashes

30 satin napkins (10 orange, 10 lime green, 10 fuschia)

bride and groom passport covers

8 starfish (used for table decoration)

 

I have tried to take pictures of the linens, but the camera just doesn't do them justice on the colors.  They are in great shape, only used once, just need to be ironed. I think one of the napkins will need to be washed.

 

200$ + shipping

 

I really just want to get rid of all this stuff!!

Hi!! I'm leaving For dreams in the morning! Can anyone tell me the name of the good hairdresser in their spa??

oh and just a word of advice ladies....TAKE YOUR VITAMIN C!!!  I think the stress of the last few months caught  up with me (planning a wedding, my dog got heartworms, and a close friend passed away all within a month) - and about a month ago my WISDOM teeth flared up, had to have oral surgery to have them removed, then got a dry socket (of course), then i woke up last sunday with a sore throat and a head cold!! So take your vitamin c and save yourself the misery of trying to get packed up for your wedding while you feel like you are going to shrivel up and die.  LOL

i got all of my sashes, organza overlays, table runners, and napkins from weddinglinensdirect.com.  My colors are fuschia, green and orange - so i just got an assortment of all (3 colors of  napkins, 3 colors of runners, and 3 colors of overlays).  i don't know how they will choose to use them.  LOL hope it looks ok.  I got the flowers from wedideas; 1 bridal bouquet, 4 bridesmaids bouquet, and 6 boutineers.  LOVE LOVE LOVE them.  When i got my flowers I loved them all except for MINE; bc there were lilies in them that weren't real touch and looked bad - i emailed them - send them back, and they were great!  They weren't mean or rude at all, fixed them how i wanted them, and sent them back! BEAUTIFUL flowers - i totally recommend wedideas.  Oh and the best part?  All of it was only like 400$!! Awesome price! i just cant say enough good things about this company.  i tried to take pics with my camera but they just don't look good:/ but i'm sure my photog will get some good ones!  and i am hoping to get them all back in good condition so i can sell EVERYTHING when i get back!

ok ladies! i am leaving sunday -  getting married a week from today!! i can't believe its almost here!  i have everything set; packing list being checked off as we speak.  Going to get my hair and pedi today; then will spend the weekend packing!! My only problem so far is figuring out how to transport my bouquet.  I am giving my BM bouquets all to them so they can deal with them, but mine is BIG and i just don't want to have to carry it and hold it the entire flight!  WTF!  oh well, other than that i can't wait to get out of here!  i have all of my centerpiece/decor/sand ceremony/sashes and table linens all packed up and ready to go! 

i am trying to pic a restaurant to have my rehearsal dinner at - she sent me menus from all the places (oceana, himatsu, and the other one) - any suggestions past dreams guests???  its alot to look at and since i have never been there i have no idea what would be the best choice!!!

 

also - how many restaurants are there at Dreams?  i know theres buffet, and the three i mentioned above- but isn't there a restaurant onsite that isn't included in the all inclusive (ie: you have to pay for your dinner)??? just wondering.

 

Also, i would like to know the answer to the question above about silk flower petals on the aisle! I love the look of having tons of flower petals but thought her price per bag was pretty outrageous (i think it was like 25$ or something) and i would have to have a ton of them!

I pm'd you all the pics i had!

Also, we reserved the honeymoon suite, any idea what this room looks like? I can't find much info on it....

 

Thanks a bunch!!!

Hi!  OMG i LOVE those shot glasses!! THey are freaking adorable.  how much did you end up paying for them after everything?

 

and, my FI was looking at the dreams website and had a question:  next to Mini bar in the room description it has $$.  Is the mini bar in the room not included in the all inclusive?  But the beer in the fridge is?  LoL i know its  not important but he's a guy and wants to know:) thanks!!!

@briannarae23: beer at the bars was always served in a cup/glass from what I remember.  The only bottles of beer I remember at the resort are in the mini-fridge in each room.  It is stocked with bottles of Corona, but they are small bottles, not standard size.  They actually say "Coronita" on the bottle for "small Corona.  For our wedding favor, we did customized shot glasses from www.discountmugs.com ... they were a huge hit!

 

 

 

 

 

Omg I love the neckline!!! Thanks for the pic I'm def going to call my alterations lady! Oh, question: I wanna do koozies- are beers served in cans or bottles?

I love the buttons and zipper on it, but i actually bought mine used (a SUPER price) and because it was tight, i went ahead and had a corset put into it.  I could zip it, but all i could think about was being on vacation for 5 whole days before the wedding, trying to starve myself for that dress instead of enjoying my vaca! So a corset it is! That way i won't have to worry about that:) can't wait to see the review and professional pics with the dress in it!

I think the corset will look fantastic.  I will plan on sticking with the buttons just to make using the little girls' room a bit easier!!  With a mermaid dress like that, there will be no hiking it up....

So we just got back on sunday, we were married last wednesday january 5th and everything went amazing, Claudia really is great to work with in person!  Juan has put some sample pics of our ttd and wedding day up on his blog but when I actually get the pics from him I will write a review!

Hey yall! i am trying to print up post cards on Vistaprint to hand out when our guests arrive;  i would like to include a time and location for an impromptu meet and greet cocktail hour;  where is a good place for me to say we will have that???  I have scoured the threads and just don't know where to say!!

Still interested in Orange, lime green, or fuschia sashes!! I need 40, but would like to get two colors so i can layer them.  PM me if you have these!! Wedding date is April 28,2011

I am trying to find someone who can tell me about the handmade banana leaf picture albums they sell!!  I saw them last year in the bahamas, i'm sure they sell them in mexico too.  I really want to do these as my wedding favors, but i'm not sure if they are easy to find, or if they even have them around cancun.  Anyone who has seen one of these or knows anything about it please help!! It will make me crazy to wait all the way until i get there and HOPE i find them, considering trying to find a way to get them before we leave, although i haven't had much luck on the internet.

Yes they are.

 

 

 

 

The brand is jospeh and feiss. Great buy! Tell them to bring a pair in for your FI to check out!

 

Just wanted to let everyone know; I found mens linen drawstring pants at mens wearhouse for 29.99$ buy one get one free!!! Awesome deal! I bought 6 pair (groom and GM) for 96$. They were awesome to work with and called around to stores all over the country to get the sizes I needed. And they come in khaki, white, and off white!!
