  1. hey girls, i have reallly tried not to stress and just be optimistic about this whole thing. i kept telling myself things will work out by nov. but looks like it wont!! now i have to say i cant sleep at night!! i have my DIY invites still in the box and havent printed them since we are all in limbo! i have 20 guest booked but with only a deposit of $100 down. im actually thinking of postponing my wedding. im soooo sad!! i bought my dress and bought alot of reception stuff. i fell in love with the tulum ruins when i went on a cruise and when i researched DT i knew that is where i wanted to get married at!!! i dont want to be relocated to a resort that i have to settle for. i like the fact that DT is more secluded. if this is what will happen to me i rather start my researching again and find another perfect place and just postpone it in order to get what i want!!! this is sooo upsetting to my! i wish they could understand all we want is honest and frequent communication, this way we can plan accordingly!!

Why are they trying to figure out my wedding now before everyone elses?!?! It leads me to wonder if they really believe they will be opening any time soon. Maybe it's because my wedding is during high season and every place will be booked to occupancy that they are trying to figure out what to do with me now!?!?!?! There is another wedding planned that day (I guess they only do 1 a day there?) but he had been in contact with them and can assure us that they can absolutely host two weddings that day. Has anyone in late Nov or December gotten this email too? I'm a little confused at this point. I can't decide which is the better of two evils. Move to a resort that will only be open for a month prior to our arrival or wait and see what options shake out when it's my turn for them to move me. Or is it my turn now. You wouldn't think so based on what's been happening. Have any of you girls in Dec thought about DPA? thoughts? im wondering if you choose DPA as your back up gaurantee will they still honor you DT date if it opens?
  3. i just received my earings, i will post a pic of them on me by thursday.
  4. dont stress!! and dont think or look at the size # when looking at wedding dresses!! they are not true to size anyway!! you will look amazing in your dress!!! i am trying to eat right and go to the gym 4 times a week so my dress can fit me nice!! do what you have to do to make yourself feel good and i cant wait to see pics of you in your dress looking fabulous!!!
  5. here is a post of a mother of the bride, from the dreams forum. i hope this makes some of you relocated barcelo bride at ease. I just wanted to let everyone know that we just returned from having our daughter's wedding October 18th that was scheduled for over a year at Dreams Tulum. We were so nervous about being relocated but everything went perfectly. You will be well taken care of should you need to be relocated and make sure the wedding coordinator gets your list of wedding attendees (when asked) and the arrival/departure dates of all guests. The coordinators will keep you posted however they are so busy arranging alternative arrangements for many weddings that you just need to trust them and be patient. Lizet did an awesome job of handling my daughter's wedding and everything went perfectly!!! Absolutely no problems at all.......except a little rain . We were relocated to the Barcelo Maya Palace and felt welcomed by them as well. There were 23 in our wedding party and no one had any complaints or problems. We do hope Dreams opens soon and hope that we can return someday to visit the resort we originally planned to visit. However, I just want everyone with a wedding planned in the near future to rest assured......you will be well taken care of by the Dreams staff!!!! Lizet..........thanks again for making my daughter's wedding the best she could have hoped for!

  13. Quote: Originally Posted by RedDiamond Whatever you want/expect, get it in writing. There are a few major advantages to U.S. brides using a U.S. photographer, especially for cost: 1.) You have the option for legal recourse in your own country if anything happens to go wrong. 2.) You can save yourself a considerable amount of money. Many destination photographers charge for travel and the photo package. You literally could save yourself thousands of dollars. 3.) Don't EVER feel bad asking for certain shots or ideas. If they are shooting this to improve or expand on their portfolio they probably want the best ideas possible. So if you come up with something that they don't, they'll probably be thrilled to photograph it. The only time a photographer might turn an idea down is if the lighting is bad or the idea seems dangerous, and in all honesty some photographers will still take the chance... just for the opportunity. 4.) For many photographers offering this sort of deal it's also about the referrals, and in order to get those you need to love your photos. Many photographers will go out of their way to make sure you get the best service possible in order to gain referrals. That's whether you are paying for it or not. No photographer wants bad images out there. 5.) Another question some people wonder is if your photographer needs to be at the same hotel as you/your guests. I can't speak for all photographers, but for us the answer is no. We've photographed plenty of weddings where we were put at a less expensive hotel so the couple can save money, and we have no problem with that. As long as it's clean, that's all that matters. 6.) Ask about the staff and equipment that will be used for your wedding. Having a photographer with an assistant (not shooting) is a lot different from having two photographers who are producing images for you. Also, if you have a photographer show up to your wedding with nothing but their camera, you probably shouldn't expect the same images as a photographer showing up fully prepared with various equipment. It's just a good idea to check. Great feed back thanks!
