 You are so removed from this area at Dreams. The Cancun strip is a commercialized tourist area and u will experience no issues.

Would you be able to tell me how much the bridesmaid bouquets cost ? I was looking at other florists and was getting quoted at 55 each

 The bridesmaids were $20 each. Mine was included in my package.

 you will be too in just a few weeks. EEEkkkk I know how excited u must be!!!

 I picked mine out when I got down there. she has a very large book and to be honest I was a little stressed about that vut clearly did not have to be at all. I am not a last minute girl at all. Claudia was unreal. She really pays attention to every detail for you and you will have nothing to worry about. I can't wait to show u ladies my cake too. It was beyond my dreams gorgeous and delicious. The veil was not really an issue. It was windy but it looked so gorgeous flowing in the wind and if I could do it again I would wear the veil. I feel like it really adds a lot to the look! I say go for it.  Congrats and I can't wait to see your pics. You will have an amazing wedding!!

Also, did you girls have to wait until you got to Dreams to pick out your flowers? I was hoping to see my options before I got there so I had a little time to decide. We're getting married May 11 and I haven't seen anything yet.

 

I gotta say, I love all you Dream(s) Girls!

So I still can't get over how amazing my wedding was!!! I can't wait to get my pics from Juan. I will try and do a review on him and the resort after I get them from him. I think he is the most amazing photographer I have ever seen. The flowers were breathtaking on every sibngle level too.

I have a few pics that friends took:

OMG! I am sneaking in a few seconds here on my honeymoon to tell you all what an AMAZING job Dreams did with my wedding. Keep in mind I was a wedding planner for a few years and planned weddings that were 100k and above. My wediing was hands down the best. I am not partial at all really lol! They will do a fantastic job. JUan Navarro is the best photographer I have ever seen! MY bouquet was unreal!!! I am so amazed. I have only seen one photo so far that Juan posted on facebook:

I will check in when we get back!

Thanks. I am so excited. Tomorrow is our legal ceremony and then we hop on a plane bright and early Tuesday!

EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE!!! We are leaving to drive to Florida in 30 minutes and my FI can't find his driver's license. We have his passport so going on the trip isn't a problem. Please pray for me that this is the worst thing that happens and that I don't KILL him in the next few minutes!!

We are all so close. This is soooooo exciting!!

When do u leave?

I am so frustrated doing last minute projects. Last night to late at night I decided to do up some menu cards for the table. I did all 26 of them and then after realized that I spelled potato and salad wrong. I am not redoing them no way. I just hope people are buzzed enough from drinking all day that they do not notice. Check out the attached picture of them.

Lasdies I have quite the nightmare on hand! I made some last minute menu cards and I only have 4 days before I leave. I made all 26 of them and thern realized I spelled them wrong. Trying not to panick. I sure hope everyone is buzzed enough and does not notice.

I wish I knew about those I would have done that for my bridesmaids. Oh well we are leaving in 6 days.

I got the towels at Johls on one of their 50% off sale days. I definately srpung a litttle $$ for them but I thought they added a nice touch!

Call them. It is not fair they have not confirmed when they have your money

Claudia said that accounting processes the payment, and my wedding is >1 year away so I'm sure it's not "priority" but I still would like to know I have the date secured!

I am leaving on Tuesday April 3rd. One week from today. I am so excited. Yikes you leave in 2 days. When will you be back from your wedding?

When are you heading out?

Thanks I will be hopeful for the bothof us! Don't you leave tomorrow or at least any day now?

Hey, if it rains, maybe you'll get one of those amazing 'in the rain' shots I've seen! Plus, rain on a wedding day is good luck! Sending you good thoughts!
 

 

Trying really hard not to freak out. The weather in Cancun for my wedding is Thunderstorms and more clouds than sun! I am soooooo bummed.

How exciting. We are leaving in a week tomorrow and still have a significant anount on our list. I am getting really nervous because I have an all weekend bacherlorette party and we only have week nights to get our stuff done. Yikes. I'm a little stressed.

I think I am going to do a hair and makeup trial. Why not?

Oh oh. I have some pictures of my makeup but I need to make sure they do not use a lot of black liner like they have in pic.

Did any of your bridesmaids get hair and makeuo at the spa? I am wondering if they use MAC makeup?

Mac makeup is the best. Do any of you know what the Dreams makeup artists use? I hope it is Mac. I just bought a ton of Mac makeup just in case.
