I don't think Dreams has them, but I know Maye does! Mariana worked on the wiring for weeks. At first she didn't think she would be able to frame the dance floor, but figured it out and told me a few weeks before the wedding that it was going to work. Have i mentioned how great she is??! But Thanks for the info on the lanterns! Were they pretty easy to transport? I'm going to email Mariana now and see if she can do that for me at the cascada terrace with the lights! I'm so happy that Mariana was great because I'm not using anyone else! She seems pretty awesome, she always gets back to me so fast. ~Nicole you are getting married a week later so I could leave them down there for you!~ Are you getting a Wedding Coord.?

If they'll give you the fitted ones for the reception, I don't see why you couldn't request those for the ceremony too? I just assumed. I do know they charge extra if you want the ties around the chairs. Also, FYI, my cocktail hour was included in the price of the ceremony. I think it worked really well with the Trio playing and their being a bar set up while we took photos. It gave everyone something to do! Regarding the slideshow that Juan does, yes, you have to request it. He just started charging for them because they are so time consuming. He charged me $100, but I think I was the first he started charging, so it may change. The honeymoon suite was really big. It was a one bedroom with a full size refrigerator, huge walk in closet, living room, dining table, sofa & coffee table. Very comfortable!!!! I put a quick Kodak photo gallery together of candid shots so you can see what I'm talking about on the chairs, size of the suite,etc. There is also a shot of my centerpieces, which came out more beautiful than I imagined!! I threw a picture of Juan in there too! Kodakgallery.com*Slideshow Thanks for the pictures as well! The honeymoon suite looks great!!! I love your lanterns as well!! Do you remember where you purchased them from? Do you know if Dreams has those lanterns?

Rebecca, congrats on your wedding! Thanks for the detailed review because i'm getting married at Dreams and it really helps! I can't wait to see your pictures from Juan!! I'm sure they will look beautiful!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by NABUMBAH I don't quite understand your question, Natalie I'm sure it's probaly a dumb question. Does she use 2 color sands? blue and white? I thought it was just all white sand with a blue background and wasn't sure how she got the white sand all over without falling?? Do you understand what i'm saying.... sorry!

Quote: Originally Posted by NABUMBAH I believe that this is the one that my local girls used here is a link to it - $12.99 at Target. Target : Wide Float Frame - Black (4x6") and here is a before/after of her sand ceremony frame That is so cute but how did she get the sand to stay all over and not all fall to the bottom??

Quote: Originally Posted by KarlaV Thanks Natalie! I was recently in the Mexico City Airport and at the duty free shops and I bought a wrap for $9. They had every coloy imaginable. I travel through that airport all the time, so for me its no big deal to buy the wraps from there (no tax!!) But I also found this site: Pashmina Cashmere Christmas Gifts shawl scarf stole wrap throw, silk pashmina, 100% pashmina, wholesale, retail The wraps are $9.95. The 100% pashmina or pashmina/silk blends will ofcourse cost a little bit more ($29 and up). KarlaV Thanks that is such a cute idea!!!

welcome melissa and good luck planning. You will find lots of information on here.

But I think my guests will appreciate the thought. I want to buy wraps for the girls. And cigar holders for the guys. (no this is not a dildo!!) I thought I could drape the wraps over the chairs to go along with my turquoise and red decor theme. KarlaV that is such a cute idea! where are you getting the wraps from?

great post! she was super bride, so many details! thanks for posting

Welcome and congrats! I love your centerpieces! Happy planning!
