When we were there vacationing last October, we saw a reception set up in the garden area. Beautiful! I actually found picture of that very wedding on the web. Check out Elite Travel Click on "Photo Gallery" and then "Dreams Cancun". Scroll to the bottom. Also, my parents were just there this past week checking the place out. They met with Claudia and also saw two weddings while they were there. One reception was on the beach. My mom said it was very windy that day and figure the guest were eating as much sand as they were dinner. The second reception was on the terrace. She thought this was beautiful and loved the tiki torches. I'm deciding between the terrace and the garden...waiting to see my mom's pics. I'll try to post them if I can figure out how! Thanks for the pics!! I visited there in December but only got to see a wedding with couple only. We were planning on 30-40 but now have hit 60-70 people!! Overwhelmed but excited!

Thanks a lot girls...that was a good price for sunscreen CABOBRIDE!! Anyone come across some deals, shoot them this way! thanks!

Hi.... it's probably here somewhere but couldn't locate. Those of you that have order sunscreen and/or shot glasses for your OOT bags, can you refer me to a place to get these items? I've been looking around for sunscreen and well its kinda expensive...Did you go with a travel size or regular and where from? And any site or place for the personalized shot glasses? Thanks in advance.

Love it!!! Thanks!!!

Okay now I've decided to to a private rehearsal dinner on the beach!! What have y'all done for a private dinner like this? I asked if we could get a sound system for music (IPOD). But what else? DO we have to arrange centerpieces and all? We are having a buffet dinner. Will candles even work near the beach, with the wind and all? How did your rehearsal dinner go? Any tips? Thanks!!!

Cancun's has quoted me $3.50 each. Is that too much? i dont want to haul them around either., though.

Thanks a lot guys for your responses!! I do feel better, Jilly, knowing that she was out for a bit... I understand she has a lot on her hands. Don't get me wrong she is very responsive and has always answered my questions, its just taken a week or two to get back and I'd just like to compare prices with other places. Thats the thing.... and it just worries me that it's only her....But I guess I have less to worry now hearing that things usually pan out closer to the date. i hope

Hey girls! Am I getting ahead of myself? My wedding is approaching May 20 so thats like 2 1/2 months away.... And the WC is great, answers my questions, met her in person, is flexible and helpful . But there are still alot of little things that need to be done...for instance I sent her my cake, flowers, decoration request and I am waiting on quotes...but it takes her 1-2 weeks to respond...and then still need to talk with caterer florist to get quotes.... I can't wait that long!! I know that she works alone with the help of staff she pulls for catering, flowers, etc. And has weddings every day!!! How do they do this?? Should I be getting more attention or do I just need to be more patient (it will all work out?). I feel like calling Dreams and saying Hey!! Give this girl more help!!! I need questions answered sooner.... How are your WCs ??

Ana I love how your fans turned out!! Where did you order the flowers for the fans?

Adrianna Papell Floral Silk Halter Dress - - Nordstrom.com Here's what we are likely going with. My colors are brown and turqoiuse and it has both in this dress!! Its fun and looks more dressy in person. I am thinking of having my BM (3) wear these and my MOH wear a solid brown dress. What do you guys think?

I am also a Dreams bride to be on May this year. I also booked Claudia for the 1850 package or actually i booked her teammate Citalli for slightly less. No cigars for us, however I feel everything is going to work out for you!! Its great you have so many people coming and a cocktail reception by the gazebo is going to be lovely!!! Good Luck and please let us know how everything goes. If you have any other questions or need advice...let us know..

Quote: Originally Posted by Christine Jessalyn where did you get those, that is totally what I wanted and more importantly that's what my FI wanted me to get. Love these!!.. where are they from?

Nordstrom has really nice dresses. We are getting us online from there. They have a pretty good selection of bridesmaids and formal dresses.

I really like both #2 & #5. Formal, yet beachy and simply flattering. good luck!

I want to Yea I think we are going to...not sure what we are taking with for it though....I'm also thinking of incorporating one or two mexican traditions but not sure what is acceptable since its not in a church.

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 I've asked that same question several times and also asked if the photographer had a website and every time I just get those pictures emailed to me, they never mention who the photographer is. but it doesn't matter to me anymore because I already hired Citlalli Rico, from claudia rodriguez's studio, and I'm very excited! I'm booking Citalli as well, Jilly!!! I'm happy with her work and with Claudia as well.

Thanks Jilly I didnt have the cakes or fireworks prices.... I'm thinking about the fireworks. Think it would be so neat. Wondered whos done it before and if it was worth it. Also, Claudia says send her a pic of your cake two layer, three layer, and she can give you a qoute or you can also look at outside vendors. I just received the ceremony vows.

Hi Tracey! Dreams Cancun bride too. May 20, 2007. Take a look around...there's already a lot of info here about Dreams cancun. let us know how we can help.

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 Brenda, claudia had sent me a file with 3 cakes, but I can't find it. They were very simple two tier, white cakes, with flowers. I could care less about the cake, if it wasn't included in the package I probably wouldn't even do one, so I'll probably just go with one of the ones she showed me, with flowers to match whatever I decide. Yea I'm interested in something simple...just need a pic of one i like to send to her and get a quote....not too picky....if you find the samples send them over....she hasn't sent me any cake pics. thanks for all the ideas girls. I especially like the ones with flowers and I like the brown one too.

Quote: Originally Posted by Soon to be Mrs. Hull I have a bunch of pics let me upload them and I will post them. One of my best friends and bridesmaids is making my cake, I am so excited about it. That would be great thank!!! And I posted those flowers! I think I got it now

Okay now I'm trying to figure out our cake!! I'm not one of those brides who had the wedding all figured out before getting engaged. I'm a simple girl, so why is this so hard!! Just want a simple cake probably two layers, with flowers. Do any of you girls have pics of cakes or can refer me to websites to view cakes of this sort?
