Hi, We are getting married January 4th, 2012 at Dreams Tulum and I have a few questions that I hope some past DT brides can answer. We have tentatively booked the Wine Cellar for our wedding reception, but now I am wondering if we should have it by the pool instead. Did anyone get married last January and have their reception outisde? I know it can cool off in the Mayan at night...is it too cool at this time of year?For those that had their reception at the wine cellar, was it fairly costly to pay for a bottle of wine per couple? There will be 18 of us so I am thinking the cost of the wine would be worth it.Thoughts? For photographers, we have booked one from outside the resort. Did anyone use both the resort photographer included in the wedding package and an outside photographer? I am trying to figure out how we could use both. We are having the Dreams of Love package so we won't be getting many photos from the photographer. In regards to the set up of the wedding on the beach, since we have a wedding package, is the set up fee included? I have read the information in the wedding guide a few times and it still seems unclear to me. We are bringing our own decorations for the chairs and canopy and I am wondering if it is up to us to set this up or if they will do it without charging. I have read mixed reviews about the resort florist. I have heard that if you give her photos of exactly what you want, you will get it. We are making our own silk bouquets for the bridesmaids but I am thinking of getting centerpieces for the reception table. I heard Julieta is good but how pricey is she? I read other reviews saying that she ripped them off? For the reception, we don't want to pay for a dance floor as this only going to be 18 of us. Did anyone go to the Disco at the resort after their dinner for dancing? I know that there are also night shows at the resort. Lots of questions, sorry. I hope many of you can give me some feedback. This is such a great site!!!

Sorry, I forgot to give you the other link. I am also including a link that has photos of the fabric pomanders for you. http://daily.wedshare.com/2010/03/09/do-it-yourself-wedding-project-crepe-paper-rose-pomanders-tutorial-3572.html http://beanzthingz.blogspot.com/2011/06/pom-love-and-no-not-juice.html

Hi Kat, We're getting married in January but I have made both paper and flower pomanders and pompoms like the ones in the above posting... I will post photos once I am done..only have done a tester in each of my wedding colors but the fabric ones look a lot nicer and with traveling in suitcases, you don't have to worry about the paper ones getting squished. I am going to use the pomanders on the chairs in each aisle for our wedding. But I may also use them as decor on the tables in vases alternating colors. Here is the link to show you how to make the fabric pomanders...fyi..I made 2.5inch pomanders and it took almost three hours to make my first one! The directions say only an hour.I will also include another link I found on rosette paper pomanders...I think they look nicer then the regular flower pomanders. They would be pretty for at home receptions. http://www.projectwedding.com/post/list/how-to-make-fabric-pomanders Good Luck!

Hi Virg, I saw your post about the word formatted Spanish for dummies booklet that you have. Do you mind sharing it with me? Thank you, Ann-Marit [email protected]

Hi everyone! We're getting married January 4th, 2012...I guess our wedding is coming sooner than I thought after seeing others' wedding dates. Are there any other Dreams Tulum brides? We sent email invites, 16-18 people booked, venue booked, photographer in R.M. booked, dress bought on a trip to Vegas in March. We just bought bridesmaid dresses a few weeks ago. Now it is on to booking the AHR venue and church... I look forward to exchanging info with any of you. Happy Planning!
