Good luck to all of you! Your added girls thanks for replying to the post Heres what us Dreams Cabo brides did besides just going to that specific thread to ask questions which is great. We also posted our list of specific things each of us were having or doing or who we were hiring. It really helps to get ideas or learn about vendors. Heres an example. Here are some of my details: Wedding date : June 14, 2008 Ceremony: On the Beach 6:30 Reception: Oceana Terrace 7:00-10:30pm Food: Not quite sure on this one. Tried the Beef Tenderloin and loved it....need another one. Plus have the cheese and Spinach ravioli for some of my guests. Cake: Individual Tres leche cakes for the guests and one small one for us (just for picture purposes) Flowers: Thinking about coral colored roses or a bouquet of white roses and orchids with a teal ribbon. DJ: Using our Ipod and renting speakers from Dreams. Hair and Makeup: I want to use Suzanne Morale but depends on how many other people want to get their hair does as well.

I'm not sure. There is this thread that is helpful http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2782 I just started the Cabo thread because I knew there were a bunch of us and thought it would be a good place to collect our ideas and iformation.

Thanks Jill, I've heard Turks and Caicos was beautiful but your right I think it might be out of our price range. thanks Weez, you dont have to go through the trouble of putting up pictures. I'll definitly check the resort out it sounds really nice. I'm far out from actually booking anything but just really wanted to get some good recomendations from girls I trust.

your added Renee

congratulations you look amazing.

good find. thanks for the pics, fi and i might head up to Macys next week.

Loved it, everyone and every photo looked stunning.

lol, wow it looks like you guys had a blast. Great video.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I love to hear good sugestions from actual people instead of reviews from people I dont know. Thanks so much I'm going to check them all out!

So I havent even had my wedding yet and I'm allready trying to plan my next vacation. Probably not a smart idea But! we are looking for a cheaper vacation location to go to next winter probably during prime season of January or February. I was thinking about maybe Punta Cana, or the Riveira Maya. Anyone have any recomendations on location and or resorts? My criteria January or February All Inclusive Sun Beach East Coast locations only please (less travel time and cheaper for us) At least a 3 star would prefer a 4 if its affordable enough

Beautiful pictures, I love them.

Do you have to purchase the flame retardent bags or are just plain white bags ok?

Yup, they are still charging me and I've called them twice now. Its becomming a real problem and I dont know what else to do. $15.00 a month adds up!

Quote: Originally Posted by chprfan Does anyone know for the luminaries for the walkways...do the votives need to be in a glass holder or can then just be set in the sand in the bag? I noticed on their ad Michaels has all their votives on sale (some in holder & some not) and didn't know which way to go! I thought they just needed to be tealights no glass holders, but not positive.

I think there has to come a point where you have to just say ENOUGH! You could keep thinking of those last minute extra's forever. Our wedding is at 4pm on the beach at Dreams. 10 days in Cabo and then a 10 day honeymoon to a romantic inn/lodge in Vail, CO. I have no idea how I am going to get all this stuff to Cabo/Vail. I have already shipped stuff to Vail ...my UPS bill was $400! I need a HUGE suitcase or two..or five! I am hoping my dress makes the trip okay. Any suggestions? I am excited to meet Juan..he has been a big help already. Hopefully, the next couple of days are smooth as I tie up loose ends!!! Thats the best way to look at it. Youve allready done all the worrying you possibly can. At this point what ever isnt done or planned probably isnt really needed anyways. A lot of girls said that the airlines let them hang their dress up by the front of the plane. But a lot of brides also said that they werent able to do that and had to put their dress in the overhead. Either way Dreams steams the dress for you anyways and I havent read one review yet that said there dress was not as nice after the traveling. Your going to have a blast 10 days in Cabo and 10 day in Colorado. Can I come with you!!!!! Have fun, we cant wait till you come home and tell us all about it.

Photographer:Tomas Barron Flowers:?? Colors:orange (taracotta) and either yellow or deep red? and i am more than willing to accept ANY suggestions/ideas for this DW!!! What month is your wedding? I'll put you on the list. If you search DJ's you will definitly find DJ Ricardo's info, or maybe try pm'ing one of the girls on this thread that is using him. I am using DJ Ron so no help there. I'm not sure about the booking 10 rooms thing, I thought if you did that than you were upgraded to a honeymoon suite but I think you still pay the price of the junior sweet. I could be wrong on that one.

sounds like fun Heidi, cant wait to hear about it.

FI's dad is wearring kahaki pants and a white button down shirt, FI is wearing a kahaki suit.

We definitly knew that all inclusive would be the way to go for our group of guests. For the way we eat and drink it will definitly be less expansive than a non all-inlusive resort.
