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


Recommended Posts

I had the same thing happen to me! I was planning my reception at the dolphin pool, but turns out another bride had chosen it before me. I'm having my reception at the relax pool now too. I'm not too worried about the lighting situation. I hear there is a big spot light, and I'm planning on bringing paper lanterns and luminaries with me to help light it up a bit. You could also get the under table lighting which would be really nice. I figure you would have the same lighting issues at the relax pool as you would for a beach reception.

 

starlitK was a DT bride who had her reception at the relax pool and it looked great. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/45414/starlitk-s-planning-thread

 

I'm planning on doing 2 long rectangle tables for my reception, instead of a bunch of round tables. I think the relax pool will look really nice with long tables because of the long pool deck!

Ladies, I'm panicking... please HELP! 

 

Exact same situation for me... I asked for Dolphin Pool Terrace and was given Relax Pool Terrace because Dolphin was already booked (10 Mar 2011).  I'm okay with that, but I'm very concerned about the number of paper lanterns.  I told Aurora I would be bringing them... She basically said, that's great... setup is $150 and that 25-30 will be enough for the area.  25-30!!!!!!!  There are only 12 of us... I only bought 8 12" lanterns, because I thought that would be enough for 2 6-person tables.  Does this sound right to anybody else?  I had a look at starlitK's planning thread (thanks pineapplebride!) and she had 39 lanterns for 42 guests.  I seriously need a sanity check on this one as we are leaving in 10 days sad.gif

 

We are also getting 20 luminaries from the resort, but that would be it for lighting.

 

Side question: Does anybody know if you can buy large starfish (for lining the aisle) in Playa del Carmen?  I've been holding off ordering them online...

 

Thanks so much!

I'm bringing about 30 lanterns with me. I think it is just a matter of preference on how many you want. You can ask them just to hang the lanterns you have over the tables, and that would look really good! If you look at starlitk's reception set up, she had the lanterns covering a really large area and she had a lot more tables.

 

What are you doing for centerpieces? You could incorporate candles to add extra lighting. Or, if you are doing floral centerpieces you can add a floralyte in each vase to add light. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Doffice-products&field-keywords=floralyte&x=0&y=0  I wouldn't panic about the lighting situation though, they do so many weddings they must have it figured out!

 

I really have no clue about getting starfish once you are there. I like the idea of lining the aisle with them though, I was thinking of doing something similar because the flowers are expensive!

 

Can you please please please post pics of your reception at the relax pool after you get back! I would love to see it because there aren't many pictures!!

Thanks so much... I really needed to hear it from someone else... It just sounded so unreasonable to me.  I think I will just have them hung over the tables.  We really don't need much light for dancing.  The luminaries should be pleny to circle the 'dance floor.'

 

I hadn't really thought about centerpieces... We are going shopping in Playa del Carmen the day after we arrive.  I might pick up some vases (as other brides have) and put the bridesmaid bouquets in them.  The floralyte is a great idea!  Thanks for the link cheesy.gif

 

I wish I could remember whose review I saw the starfish in, because it looked so cool.  If I can't find starfish, I'll just have to improvise.  Northernflasher told me I could find just about anything I need for a destination wedding in PDC.... maybe line the aisle with maracas or cacti if I can't find starfish? cool.gif  I agree that the flowers are way too expensive!

 

I will absolutely post pics of the reception area when I get back (well in time for your wedding)... This thread has been SO helpful and I really want to return the favor.

 

PS  To any brides who were thinking about getting flowers for their bridesmaids' hair, Aurora quoted me $15 + tax each and said the flowers available are white orchids or white lilies... my girls are going to have to go with something else, cuz white just won't match.  Their dresses are 'sangria.'  I feel bad because I offered it up as an option.

Hey I was just wondering what is the best way to transport my wedding dress. I plan on taking it on the flight with me but not sure what I should do with it in flight?

 

Also where is a good place to buy hanging lanterns? Aurora said I should bring battery operated lanterns....

I was trying to figure out the wedding dress transport thing myself (mostly because Thomas Cook airlines only allows hand luggage that is 46cmx28cmx23cm and a max of 5kg...) and I think I found a solution, since I just have to bring it as a carry-on. Today, I ordered a wedding dress travel box from www.dressinabox.co.uk   I found the website by googling 'wedding dress travel boxes'... You should be able to find a similar website in the US. 

 

I ordered my paper lanterns (12 LED round paper battery lanterns) from paperlanternstore.com  They have a really good selection.  I haven't seen them yet, because I had them shipped to my parents to bring, but fingers crossed, they'll be awesome!  Good luck Amykat

I ordered my paper lanterns from the paperlanternstore.com and they are perfect! I chose not to do the battery powered one because you can just do the throwies for them and save a bunch that way.  As for your dress ask if they can hang it for you and if not unfortunately you'll just have to fold it and put it in the overhead. 

 

Currently I'm trying to make the decision on changing our cocktail hour from one of the lobby areas to the beach.  Part of me thinks it might be nice to keep it on the beach so I can watch over the reception set-up, but not sure if the brief air conditioning would be the best option.

Hello ladies! We decided to go with the sound system and Ipod dock for the ceremony - however - we don't necessarily have the Ipod - we have a Microsoft Zune. Do any of you know if the Ipod doc the resort uses has a headphone jack? I can buy an adapter for our Zune and it's basically a headphone jack to plug into the system. If anyone knows that would be helpful - or else, I'll have to borrow an Ipod from someone or figure something else out. Thanks!

Amykat and vlynnw,

 

I arranged to have my cocktail hour on the lobby terrace.  I got the idea from VioletVixen's wedding review: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/60860/violetvixen-s-dreams-tulum-review-june-19-2010-photos-included

 

She said, "Cocktail Hour
4:30 pm, Lobby Terrace

This was a lovely location for our cocktail hour; I totally recommend it. Thereâ€s a roof overhead which made it a great, shaded respite after the ceremony on the beach. Itâ€s quiet and away from the main activity areas of the resort. The wedding coordinator clears the area and does not permit other hotel guests to use the terrace during this time. We had private servers who brought us a round of champagne, and then were available for any other drink orders. Guests can also pop right inside to get a drink at the lobby bar if they prefer, or just to cool off in the a/c."

 

Aurora didn't bat an eye when I requested it.  I'll be able to report back in a couple of weeks on how it is.

 

Leaving in 6 days... us + 10!!!  Can't wait  cheers.gif

На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный
