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

For the ceremony you only need 3 songs, one to walk in, one for during the signing of the certificate, one to walk out.

Hi everyone! I have a few questions about paper lanterns. We are planning to use the really helpful post I found on BDW http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t37079 to DIY our paper lanterns for the reception. I can't decide how many we think we'll need.

We don't know whether we are going to get the Seaside Grill or the beach for our reception until 2 weeks before the wedding (ugh), so we'll need to be prepared for either. So, do any former brides know how many paper lanterns you used to decorate either a Seaside Grill or beach reception? If so, can you direct me to any pictures you have? Has anyone strung Christmas lights around, also? If so, how many did you bring, and where did you use them?

For decorating a beach reception, I've seen pictures of other receptions that have used paper lanterns them by stringing them between large poles (you can see some at a DT wedding here: Craig Wolfrom :: Wedding Photography :: Idaho, California, Mexico, and Beyond: January 2009). Does anyone know anything about these poles? Are they already set up, or would we have to set those poles up? Is this a certain part of the beach that I would need to request in order to get this?

Any help you have would be great! Thanks!

Katie your pictures are lovely! Your wedding looked great!

Does anyone have a recommandation on make-up? I use bare minerals and mac...I don't want sweaty make-up face and I was just looking for sugestions to try

I just made the deposit and booked my date at Dreams Tulum! So excited!!!! Thanks for posting that link to the photos! They got me thinking of a few questions myself:

1. one of the pictures has resort guests in the background lounging in

chairs... how do we avoid that? haha

2. the couples seems to be having their reception on the beach (which is what we want) and they seem to be dancing just fine (on the sand?) right

there is no need to get the "dance floor" that is offered in the wedding options, right?

3. what decorations does the resort provide? do they offer paper lanterns or do we have to bring them with us?

In terms of your post, how come you don't know whether you're reception will be on the beach or at Seaside Grill? I "reserved" the beach for my reception, but does that not mean that i am guaranteed to get it??

Hey ladies,

I have been searching the site today trying to find the forum that talks about the ceremoney readings and vows. I stumbled across the forum a few months ago and liked a lot of the things that I had read in there and now that I need it, I can't find it.

Some people had absolutely wonderful readings and vows and I just need some inspiration. If anyone has seen it lately or can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. Thanks!
