The new Dreams Tulum thread! (Post all DT Qs&As here)

Hey Amy I have a question. How did you give your OOT bags away at the resort? Did you just give them to the front desk to deal with?

Does anyone know what size battery the IPOD docking station takes? I can't believe we leave two weeks from today! So much to do.........

[neen]

good question about the batteries...we leave in two DAYS and I'd like to know too

[Lindz]

I had a question about centerpieces...do you bring your own? Or do they have options at DT? Will the florist do them? (if so, are they nice? expensive?) what are you girls doing for your centerpieces? Any past brides have pics?

 

Thanks for all the support and help so far....

I was looking through my wedding stuff and I bought all these votives for on the tables at the reception. I just realized that we are planning on having the reception outside by the dolphin pool but I was wondering how the wind is? Have any of you that have been married down there or done a site visit if you remember how much wind that area gets? Because I am debating on getting the led tea lights to use instead? thanks

Hey Laides, Just getting ready to leave!!! I was wondering what is the best way to pay for everything? We were going to get travelers checks but it seems like a lot of paper to keep track of. We could put it on our debit card but it's a 3% conversion rate. The travelers checks are 1.5-2 per $100. Just thought I'd ask what everyone else is doing just in case I'm missing something! thanks

I actually decided to hand them out myself. I brought a list of everyone's flight times and delivered them to everyone. The first few days were easy- it was just immeidate family and I made personal deliveries to the room. towards the end a lot of folks came at once but that was pretty easy too because we were hanging out doing various things. There is a per bag charge for them to hand them out and I actually had different things in the bags for certain people so I thought it was better for me to just do it.

We used the florist through DT for our centerpieces. I had pics of the bouqets that I wanted and asked them to create something similar for the centerpieces. They weren't huge but we liked them. If i wanted them bigger i'm sure i could have specified and paid more. But i was happy with ours! If you look on my wedding review link (in my siggy) there is a pic of our centerpiece with the sand ceremony stuff. that was the exact ctrpiece they had on each of the tables.

Amy, how much did those centerpieces cost?
