Anybody know if you can use these at dreams? http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...30/index5.html

Thanks for posting pictures! After looking at them about 20 times I think I've decided I like it. I had decorations made for the old one so I'm not sure how that will work out, but I'm sure I can figure something out. I wonder if they redid the gazebo so the angle during the ceremony didn't include the blocks? I like that you can't see that in any of the pictures above..

Another question, I'm not sure if this is right thread or not, but where is a good place to buy a second dress to trash? I just wanted a white strapless dress but I'm having a hard time finding one for around $100. Thoughts?

Although not the same as before nor is it ideal, it would still make for a beautiful ceremony. You're right tho, you would have to avoid the lovely blue tarps in the pictures.

Here are my shoes!! I'm so excited

I emailed her 2 weeks ago to get the easurements for the pilliars and she emailed them to me saying not a word about the construction project. I have emailed her 5 times since I heard about this and i FINALLY got an email back. I am crushed. How could they do this?! I booked that gazebo a YEAR AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is insane. You can bet your ass they are going to compensate us for this (not that that could possibly make up for this) but considering that after I got measurements I had drapes made specifically based on those measurements, and considering we ALMOST went with the Palace who gave us a better quote but chose Dreams BECAUSE of the gazebo. I'm sorry I know I'm rambling but I am just in shock. She wasn't even going to tell me. That's not right. That's aweful, I'm so sorry! I wonder if they could set up something for you close to where the old gazebo was. There is a long cliff area there and they could set up maybe an arch so it would be at least the same view? I have stuff made for the gazebo as well..I guess I'm going to just have to bring it and hope that it fits the new one

Ohhhh wonderful, I just read through a lot of the gazebo details...It's frustrating they didn't tell anyone..I feel for ya May/April brides! Hopefully they have everything done by the time I get there in June but at this rate it's hard to tell what they will remodel next!

Quote: Originally Posted by chipotle99 So I talked to Cecilia today, she told me they are renovating the terrace...no more "palapas" or individual hut things (see pic), so she thinks the terrace might be more spacious given there will be no poles in the way...not sure about any of the details though...maybe whoever goes down next can let us know about the new changes... Now if only they would renovate the rooms, it'd be great And make an infinity pool instead of the lagoon...lol This worries me a little! Cecilia told me that was the back up spot in case it rained they could do the ceremony there...is it still going to be covered?

Those are SO cute! Too bad they aren't my size

We are getting married at the Gazebo and doing our reception on the Himtsu Beach. Feel free to stop down and check it out the night before your wedding. We have 26 people coming...I'm getting so frickin excited!!!!! We will be there on the 4th so I'm excited that I might get to do spying on your weddings! I think we will do the lights, but I won't mess with any other centerpeices or anything since we are having our formal reception back home, this will more just be a dinner and hanging out. I've been e-mailing Cecilia Dumas and we are most likely going to do our TTD the next day at the Marriott. I'm getting so excited!!!!

Okay more questions...I'm going to have a lot now since it is getting closer! What was lighting like at the reception? I saw that you could buy the lights to put under the tables, is it worth it to do that? I think we are going to be on the smaller beach with the sunset so do you think I need to add more lighting?

[quote=Sorry I didn't multiquote, But how much more time were you looking to get for Juan? He may have pricing on his website. You;d probably have to pay for a package of his, in addition to the one that comes with your wedding package. He was with us for a little over 2 hours, most of which was his fault and he didn't charge us extra. We did wind up buying all 600 pictures that he took that day for $350.00. Unless you are doing a TTD or you want him there for your reception, then I think you'll have plenty of time with him. Just don't expect to be at your Cocktail hour I just e-mailed Juan and he told me the price for an extra hour and extra 2 hours, I just wanted to make sure I had plenty of time and I am kind of wanting some pictures of the reception/cocktail time so I'm not sure if we will add time or not. He said in the price that it included 50 or 100 DVD images but I e-mailed him asking how I could get ALL the pictures plus extra time. He also said that he won't be able to get the pictures to me before I leave so I'm a little nervous because we need them for our AHR that is 10 days later!

Quote: Originally Posted by carolina24 it depends on your package...we are using the ultimate package and it includes two hours of photog time, a 30 min edited video, and 50 pics. you can also purchase the rest of your pics on a cd. we are adding one or two hours of photog time at $250/hour...each hour includes an extra 50 pics. mrs. timpone...i'm wearing a veil....when else can you do it?? :) Did you talk to Juan about the extra photo time or Cecilia? I have emailed Juan a few times and he told me the ultimate wedding package included 90 min of photo time, so I wanted to add more time but he hasn't e-mailed me back.

Sometimes people dont bother clicking on the link when the op didn't bother to include a photo. There's a few helpful threads and the mods are more the willing to help out if you have questions! Thanks for the tip! Here are mine, we are adding a little flower to the dress as well.

I stayed at the Iberostar Grand in the Riviera Maya last summer and it is a BEAUTIFUL hotel. It's adults only but it's in the iberostar hotel group and you have access to all the other hotels and their restaurants. The other hotels are not adults only but are right next to it so you can walk to all of them.

We are going to play the video at our AHR so I was going to request that they didn't put music during the ceremony but if they already don't then I don't have to worry about it.

I went shopping today and found these dresses on sale for $30! I couldn't pass it up so I bought them. Hopefully the bridemaids will like them! :/ Von Maur

I found 2-3 that I really liked so I feel a lot better. It said "upgraded bouquets" does this mean they are more than the ones included with the ultimate wedding package?
