I think the lady that did my hair and makeup was Alicia. She did a really nice job on my hair. I wasn't happy with my makeup at all. She spent maybe 10mins on my makeup and all the makeup used was old looking in a used makeup bag. I remember thinking sanitation was an issue. I was late getting married because I had to redo my makeup myself. Thank god I did, because the application was super light! It would of been awful in photos. My friend was married a few days before and her makeup turned out nice.

Jana... Did you hear about the new secrets opening in cancun? It's called secrets the vine. All adults. Supposed to be open in August.

I just got back from a ten day beautiful wedding and honeymoon! I will write a review when I get settled in. I will say to all the upcoming dreams brides, don't stress! You will have a beautiful wedding. In the end all that will matter is all the beauty around you. The resort is gorgeous. The rooms although not modern were clean and nice. You can't beat the view at dreams. Best location and beach by far! I had 30 guests they all can't wait to go back!

Jana... Your cake was beautiful!

Congrats Jana! You look beautiful! I'm so excited... I will be in cancun in one month!

Congrats Jana! I look forward to see your review and pics!

Awesome thank you! I just reserved himitsu beach

Beautiful! Where are you having you're reception?

Awesome.... Thanks Leigh! I think I may have my wedding on the beach now. Your pictures were so beautiful,

Channing.. You were a beautiful bride for the ladies that had their receptions on the beach, did any of you have an issue with bugs, Mosquitos? Also is himitsu beach close to a restroom? My grandma who is 90 will be at my wedding. I worry about her walking too far.

Sandy, how do I find out prices for the cakes?

I would like to see it

I wired my money. I didn't feel comfortable with my cc info floating around.

Beautiful! Is she charging you extra for use of the vases? I love the sparkle on the bottom. Where did you find those?

Jana, are you bringing all you're center pieces to cancun? My bf is worried that we will bring too much stuff, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet.

Is there a charge for the rehearsal? If so, how much?

I could live with the cake you had. I saw a picture of a cake that was under the review forum that was really bad! So I guess I will keep my fingers crossed that I get a decent cake. I know in the end the cake won't really matter. I'm just freaking out now that my day is approaching lol

What does everyone think about the wedding cakes? I am so disappointed in the selection. Some of the cakes look like I could make them myself! I'm trying to keep an open mind.

I saw a picture of a bride a few months back who wore her veil low and it looked really pretty. I think I want to wear one!

Is anyone wearing a veil during your ceremony? I know the gazebo is windy, but veils are so pretty!

I was bummed at first about not having the terrace for my reception. Then I started talking to my family and everyone agreed that they all wanted a more private event. I don't want to have to worry about being too loud etc...I am excited to go indoors now.

I'm so sorry! They told me the same thing! Claudia said I could have my cocktail hour on the terrace, but not the reception and that i needed to have 70% of my guests in the tower. So last month I emailed her about my cocktail hour being held on the terrace and her reply was that the terrace wasn't available unless I had 100% of my quests booked in the preferred tower! I'm really confused. I hate how they make rules up as they go. At this point I may not even have a cocktail hour? I asked about the spa terrace and her response was that in order for me to have the spa terrace, it had to be after 8pm and it would cost me $200 more! So ballroom it is for me I guess?

Were you able to see the ballroom while you were there? Since I can't have the terrace I may go ahead with the ballroom. I emailed Claudia and asked if the ballroom has ac? I would think it does, but you never know? Lol I am still waiting for a reply.

So when they say 3 hrs of international open bar, do they set up a bar on location of your reception? Or is someone taking orders and bringing the drinks back to you from the bar?
