We did the Ultimate package which included the aisle runner and it was perfect! From my experience all the items we brought down to Mexico were a HUGE pain. I wouldn't suggest bringing something as big as an aisle runner to pack. I actually had sandals on when i was walking but it wasn't the sturdiest so i kicked them off as i was walking down the aisle, lol.

We did bring our own laterns, i think between 20-30? cannot remember, we bought a few light battery things i think only 20, and we did pay extra for the chairs, i really didnt like the ones where the fabric dances in the wind, lol. so i splurged there for better pics:)

yes we did bring our own tulle

We did the Ultimate and since we had over 20 people we were going to have to pay the setup fee anyways, but it included set up of both the ceremony and the laterns and all the table decorations i provided.

Well as most of you brides have noticed they do charge extra for even the littlest thing to be different about the decorations, but for ALL of our decor they charged only $150 for them to do it. Just go ahead and budget it in, thats the last thing you need to stress about on your wedding day. Whats $150 when your paying thousands cheaper for a wedding?!?

And yes the dance floor was a total hit! I did the one for only 30 people and everyone seemed to think it was the best, there was only 25 of use so we just danced closer together, lol:)

Our photographer cost $2,000. Thats included 5 hours of work and a delivery of the disc, and their amazing work that they did! I can honestly say that was probably the best thing i did! I ended up giving my resort photographer to my sis and her fiance to do some engagement photos together and those were good too, but La Luna is AMAZING. There was a huge difference between the two!

I chose Dreams tulum to get out of the hussle and bussle of resorts on top of each other.

Here you go ladies! I just want everyone to know that i could have gone down there and didn't plan/stress about a single thing! ( too bad as a woman i did) lol. But just know that it was amazing having all our friends and family together to celebrate! Don't worry about anything because the resort literally has everything taken care of, they probably did at least 15-20 wedding within the 9 days of us being down there, with that said, they are totally great at their job of making it a smooth day for you! The floral decorations were amazing, the cake was phenomenal, everything those that the surf and turf was the best meal they had the entire week and they service of the wedding and of the resort overall was impeccable! I cannot stress to tell you that your day will be everything you have ever dreamed of it to be! I do only have two changes that i had done before i went down there and i am VERY happy i did, that was i went with La Luna as my photographer and DJ Bijan and my DJ. Both of them were amazing! That would be my only advice i could give a bride-to-be. Enjoy the time with your family and friends and your new husband and just relax!! It goes by too quick:) Enjoy my link of a slideshow of our photos. http://lalunaphotographers.com/blog/gallery/melissa/weddings/courtney-justin

Worn once, does need to be cleaned ( it's not super dirty or anything, i just dont want to spend the extra money to get it cleaned.) It's a size 4, alterations= bust cups, bottom was hemmed to fit length of exactly 5"4, and also the bustle is added as well. Will sell to whoever gives me the best offer! Bid starting @ $200.

We booked both our ceremony and reception on the beach and it couldn't have been more perfect! We did go ahead and splurge and get the dance floor for 30 people. It wasnt huge, but it did it's purpose. We only had 25 people at our wedding but actually having a smaller dance floor made everyone get closer together! Ill post some pics as soon as i figure out how to, lol
