Hi Dee Dreams! Usually when you order paper lanterns online they are just the paper lantern and you will need to purchase either a light bulb cord or LED lights to insert in the lights. Unless you order the battery operated paper lanterns (usually quite a bit more expensive). For my lanterns I believe I am going to order these. As I am getting married 2 days after you I won't be able to tell you how well they will work? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.ca/viewitem?itemId=130575976544&index=0&nav=WATCHING&nid=59945558779 I plan on putting 3 in each lantern

Weddingstar is awesome! And they are an Alberta company out of medicine hat! I ordered a bunch of stuff from them, including personalized playing cards and it was delivered to my door in Calgary in 2 days! Etsy is also pretty cool for handmade items

Hi Dee Dreams, There are a few wedding sites that do ship to Canada, my favorite being www.weddingstar.com as they are an Albertan company based out of Medicine Hat! I bought a number of things off of this site (including personalized playing cards) and they were all delivivered to my door in Calgary in 2 days! Some other sites include: http://www.efavormart.com/ http://weddingfactorydirect.com/broochs.html http://commerce.idmi.net/ecommerce/catalog_detail.asp?cid=121&pi=39217 http://www.beforetheidos.com/Breeze_Wedge_Flip_Flop_in_White_or_Ivory_p/carb-7754.htm www.lightinthebox.com www.etsy.com I guess it really depends what you are looking for...

Hi BeaBride, Here is the question that I asked the WC and her answer (I'm in blue, her replies are in Red) I was also wondering what decorations are included with the ultimate wedding package for the dinner reception (either on the beach or poolside)? In the Ultimate wedding packages we offer you one flower center prises for the dinner table and all the set up is in white color (linens, overlay and napkins). I guess I just assumed that white chair covers were included in the white linens but I guess I should claify just to be sure. I will ask on Saturday! Here are a few more questions and answers that i asked incase you're interested. Are we allowed to bring our own decorations? Yes, you can have your own decoration. And if so is there an extra charge for set up? Set up of wedding stuff has extra cost usd 5 per person (Chair Bows, Small table lanterns, paper lanterns, etc.? Papers lanters set up cost usd 200 Also we would like to have our wedding / reception outdoors and were wondering if we are allowed to bring our own I-Pod dock rather than renting one from the resort? Yes you can have your own I pod dock station What does it cost just to rent the paper lanterns from the resort if we do not bring our own? We did not rent papers lanterns, you need to have your own.

Yeah I heard the lighting is not too great either so I'm going to have the paper lanterns and the little white lanterns with the flamesless tealights. I agree I plan on bringing and setting up pretty much everything ourselves. They told me it would cost $200 to set up the paper lanterns (that we bring down ourselves) I have seen the tall skinny vases like that at the dollarama for $1-2 each which i think is pretty reasonable! I sent you a PM with what we paid.

The dreams tulum has a number of different chairs like what you are talking about but they charge $9-$15 per chair to use them... We are looking at having 30-50 guests come down for the wedding... I have decided to bring my own chair bows as one of my bridesmaids has her own linen company and the white covered chairs are included in the ultimate package. I am going to have a couple of our guests (probably my bridesmaid's husband and my brother) to tie the chair bows for us before the ceremony. My wedding colors are Orange and Fuchsia, however my bridesmaid only has Fuchsia chair bows so my fiance and I have decided to have the Fuschia chair bows with orange paper hands fans as a favor on each chair at the ceremony to bring in both colors. I have not figured out how I am going to add in the orange at the reception dinner though? My friend got married this past summer and she had bought a bunch of these little white lanterns http://www.weddingstar.com/product/mini-lanterns-with-hanger that she said I could bring with me I am just not sure how I will use them. I am going to use flameless tealights with them as we are having both a beach ceremony and reception and I am worried about the wind. Are you planning on bringing the vases for your centerpieces down in your luggage or are you planning on purchasing or renting them there? This is something like what you are talking about and I think look beautiful I just wasn't sure how I'd get them all down to Mexico... Chair sashes, table overlays, runners etc. can all be purchased on e-bay for cheap. Other than that I plan on bringing fuchsia and orange paper lanterns for the beach and welcome gifts for our guests... I feel like i'm going to need a few suitcases!

I was wondering if anyone has used the resort photographer? My FH and I have booked the ultimate package and were thinking about also purchasing the $1000 package from the resort photograper, has anyone used them or does anyone have an pictures from them that I can see? Thanks!

Hi Ladies! I am also a Canadian (Alberta) bride getting married at the Dreams Tulum in November! (November 28, @ 4pm) I would also be happy to share decorations! We will be arriving at the DT on Nov 21 but I haven't fully decided on what decorations I am going to be bringing. I plan so far on bringin fuchsia and orange paper lanterns, fuchsia chair sashes (which i plan on setting up myself instead of paying the $3 per chair set up price) and i'm sure other stuff as well! Still need something an idea for centerpieces though without them costing a fortune! Let me know! Quote: Originally Posted by BeaBride Hi! I'll let you know what I find out on Saturday. Is there anything you want me to ask for you? When I originally registered for the wedding I wrote that we wanted the Dreams of Love package but my FH hubby and I think that in the end, we're probably going to go with the ultimate package because for an extra $800, we get a video, mexican trio, the gold wedding menu, and extra floral decor. We haven't told the wedding department yet because we still have to crunch numbers. Yay to November brides from Canada!
