My dress was SSM5049! I absolutely loved it! Let me know what you decided on! Cheers!

AMAZING!!! Congratulations on your wedding! It all looked so beautiful and your photographer did an incredible job...i love the special emotional shots she took!

Thank you ladies! It was such a great intimate moment with just my fiance and his parents (unfortunately mine were unable to be there). We finished the night off with dinner in Del Mar overlooking the ocean. May 27th will always be special to us, but we will celebrate our anniversary on June 21st (our wedding day in Cabo). I am Mrs.! ....well sort of...LOL!

Wow Ladies, I can't believe my Legal Day is already here! We choose May 27th, as it was the day my fiance proposed just 2 years ago. We have had quite a long engagement so it is still hard for me to realize in just a few hours we will be at the courthouse signing our papers and saying our "I Do's". I am so looking forward to today and even more so for our wedding in just 3 weeks! Yay!!!!! Nicole

I have gone back and forth between this and came to the conclusion that most guests either leave their favors behind or throw them away. If I was you I would go with something edible or something fun. I am going to get some maracas while down in Cabo. These are going to be used doubled up as a favor as well as an escort card. I will tie each escort card to the maraca (that way it won't fly away in the wind which always seem to be present in Cabo). On the front of the card will state the guest name and table number and the back will say "shake for a kiss". I figured by the end of the night most people will be dancing with them on the dance floor. Hope this helps! Cheers!!

I made my programs with this template that was posted on WEdding Bee... DIY Program that hung on each chair | Weddingbee DIY Projects It was very easy to do but very time consuming. Just a heads up.

Wow, I was hoping your postings wouldn't stop. What great ideas and special touches you added to your wedding. I do have a question for you....where did you get the Senor and Senora signs? Congratulations!!!

Hi Queen Prado, I am a Hilton Los Cabos bride and am getting married June 21, 2010 (yes a Monday! LOL!) So far my experience with the Hilton has been great. I agree with Michelle, a lot of times you just have to ask and they will make it work. As far as vendors, I am actually not using any of their vendors, except DJ Joaquin and Mango for my Vidgography. When I asked Tathiana about this back in June 2009, she said that is fine, but they are not responsible if the vendors don't show up, etc. I have selected vendors who have been highly recommended through this forum so I feel very confident that they will do an amazing job. The Hilton really is an amazing venue and I am SO excited to get married in just a few months. Everyone has been super helpful in helping me stick to my budget and they definitely go out of their way to accommodate their brides. Hope this helps a bit. Cheers, Nicole

Hi Ladies, I have been talking with Cabo Cakes (through Cabo Flowers) for a wedding cake. Has anyone gotten their cake from them? If so, how was it? Thanks! Nicole

Hi Dana, Everything was just amazing! Your flowers were just beautiful, as was your cake and of course you looked amazing!

What an amazing review! I am going to check out oxten for rentals! Congratulations!!!

wow! I love reading this thread! Thank you so much for all of your details, what an inspiration!!!

Hi Ladies, Thank you for your love, support and advice! I promise to not let the cake get the best of me. I was able to negotiate the serving fee with the Hilton down to $2.00pp if I bring in a cake from an outside vendor (they are going to charge me $2.00pp if I bring in cupcakes or a cake so I am going for the cake!). Now the hunt is on for the perfect cake. I have contacted Deena at Sweet Dreams and hope to hear back from her soon. Wish me luck!

Has anyone used Cabo Cakes for their wedding cake? I did a search online and it brought me to Cabo Flowers' website and on it they have a link for cakes. Has anyone priced them out or used them for their wedding? Thanks!

Hi Liz, I acutally did do a tasting with Jennifer Hatton (and loved her cakes by the way), but she is a direct vendor through the Hilton and therefore for the cake and serving fee it is $9.00pp. I asked the Hilton if I could bring in my own cake and they will still charge me $4.00pp just to serve it! It is just so frustrating. I have since been looking into cupcakes, which my guests can help themselves to, in order to get away from the serving fee to save some money. I never saw myself with cupcakes for my wedding, but I think that is all I am going to be able to afford. It is just frustrating.

Congratulations and welcome!!!!

I love everything you have done! Congratulations on now being married!!!! I wanted to ask you where you got the bridesmaid jewelry from...esp the multi-strand bracelet?

Everything looks great! Congratulations!!!

LOVE them!!!!

So, I am having a hard time coming to terms with spending $9 and upwards per slice of cake for my wedding. I know that here in the US you can order wedding cakes and/or cupcakes from Sam's Club and I think Costco too. I was wondering if any of you ladies used either of these places for your wedding cake or if you knew of a hidden gem in Cabo that was more reasonable in price? Thanks! Nicole

Thank you Connie! I am so glad your wedding was fantastic! I am sure I will be PMing you with some questions about the Hilton - my wedding is less than 7 months away now! woohoo!

Wow! Everything looks so amazing! You can tell you put so much time and effort into your planning. I can't wait to see pictures!!!! Have an amazing time!!!

They are gorgeous! Congratulations!!!
