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

I am reading the Wedding Guide for 2009 and I am confused: under Wedding in Paradise package it says "use of the wedding canopy." It says the same thing in the Ultimate package. But later in "Beach Ceremonies" it says "Gazebo is included only for Dreams of Love or Ultimate wedding package." What is "canopy" vs. "gazebo," does anyone know?

Hi Amy,

I spoke with the resort and they do rent hurracaine vases. The prices start at $30.00 but not sure if that's each or set.

I can't say specifically about vases/candle holders, some people may have mentioned them in their review, but I think most people bring them.

In my opinion, DT offers a very good price for the basic stuff (i.e. the wedding packages) and you will get very good value for money if you stick with those, but a lot of the extra stuff is quite expensive, especially decor items like these. I think that is why most people bring them. Try to choose centerpieces that are easy to transport, and assuming you aren't having an enormous wedding, then just bring your own decorations. If you choose your decorations carefully you should be able to just fill 1 suitcase full (or less) depending on what you need. I had 2 suitcases just for decor items (one of them was half full of tulle, I brought way more than needed, also brought all my silk bouquets). Check into your luggage allowance and ask family members to pack stuff for you.

Thanks everyone who has gone before for all of the great information, I can't tell you how helpful it's been. I hope to pay it back after my wedding!

Sooo, girls my wedding is coming up so soon! October 10th will be here before I know it. That means pretty soon you girls will have another LONG review to read with plenty of pics!!

This question goes out to all the girls that did a TTD session, is there anywhere that we can walk on the beach to get more interesting pictures... or has anyone went into tulum town to get some pics... I know some girls did pictures at the ruins.... is there a way to walk to the tulum beach ruins or is access only through the entrance to the park?

Thank you girls!

Thanks sunbride for answering the candle lighting & decor questions. It makes sense to use taller candle holders for the wind.
