wedding92012

I am moving out of state right after my 9-22-2012 wedding in Cabo San Lucas therefore wanted to share wedding items available for purchase after October 1, 2012. If you are getting married at the Dreams in Cabo, I can arrange to leave items for you after my 9-22-2012 wedding. If you are interested in these items, we can discuss placing them on hold until after the wedding to confirm condition before purchasing and shipping. Items for Sale 39 coral colored plate chargers $40 for all or $1.25 each Light weight, hard plastic chargers, with a bright shiny finish. Purchased brand new from Michael’s Craft store at $1.25 each. 6 bronze metal candle holders/hurricanes $72 for all 6 7 inches tall, 5 inches in diameter. Light weight metal. Bronze dull finish. Purchased brand new from Target at $12.99 each. Only for tables during reception with battery operated candles.

I have 4 coral colored bridesmaids dresses for sale. The coral color is more peachy coral than orange coral. Brand new, with tags, never worn. I changed my mind and went with a patterned dress instead. The dresses have a chiffon outer layer with a silk underneath layer and not see through. I have 4 dresses total: 1 small, 1 medium, and 2 larges. In the photos below, I am 5’6’’, 135lbs wearing the medium with it landing 3’’ above my knee. My bridesmaids who are about 5'9'' fit the large ones. They fit true to size. The belt is a darker coral color and removable, if necessary. Each dress has it's own belt. I was considering purchasing gold skinny belts for this dress. For all 4 dresses, I am asking $140 total as I paid $35 each. Shipping is based on destination from Southern California. Send me a message or email at [email protected]. Thanks!

I was thinking something casual and informal for the send off brunch. Most of our guests are leaving that day (Sunday & day after our wedding) so we are having breakfast together and hanging out until people leave to the airport. Our immediate family is staying until Monday so we're moving the send off brunch to the pool for a pool party. I know Jessica, another Cabo October 2012 bride is doing something like that as well.

Glad you reached Neysa and got quotes. I can understand saving money in certain areas. Hair & make up is where I was okay spending a little more and saving in other areas. And I'm sure your photographer will make your pictures great! Do you get hair and make up at Dreams? From the reviewed I've read, it seems you just need to be clear in words and saple photos of what you want and you should be okay.

Ya! So glad you found the punch set. I sure do love these things. I plan on making my menus in the next few weeks so I can have some better advice then. I've practiced on a few and I'm measuring the menu card to be the exact length of the punch so it all matches. My set came with the side and corner punch. I'm actually using the corner punch for my name plates as well, so it all can match. Also, I turn the punch over so I can watch it align with the edges and the previous punch. hope that helps for now. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck to you!

Hello! That punch is so cute! I wish I had it for you. I wanted to share I found this punch the other day at Michael's Craft Store. It has a bit of a shell look. I have been using it as a border for my reception dinner menu's. A second option if you don't find your other punch. Good luck! http://www.eksuccessbrands.com/marthastewartcrafts/Products/Deco_Fans_Punch_Around_The_Page_Set__42-60001.htm

I was looking for feedback on the wedding reception menu and Magda shared suggestions from Portofino for our rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception menu.

In case anyone else is making menu choices, here are the suggestions from Magda when I asked... · Sacmpi alla fiorentina · Minestrone · Filetto di manzo · Cannoli siciliani · Jumbo shrimp breaded · Caesar salad · Chicken breast filled with cheese and “tiger†shrimp served with a red bell pepper sauce · Beef fillet filled with mozzarella cheese, fresh tomato and fresh basil · Brownie with ice cream

When I originally contacted Neysa, her online form wasn't working. I just received a reply yesterday as I making my final payment via Pay Pal, so hopefully you try again. To have Neysa come to the resort, you have to book 4 services. I booked my hair and make up and make up for our mom's. My bridesmaids chose to save a little money and use the Dreams salon and I was totally fine with that. I purchased their dresses and was okay if they did their own hair and make up. It's a beach destination wedding so I had low expectations and didn't want fancy hair or make up. However, they still want their hair and make up done so they are using Dreams. My fiance and I are gifting our mom's make up by Neysa so I wouldn't have to travel to and from her salon. You can see Neysa's price menu on her web site. She has packages available for you and the bridesmaids, which does reduce the per person cost. There is a $35 travel fee per stylist and 11% Tax and 15% gratuity will be included in your final estimate. I have one stylist for four hours so I have only paid one travel fee. Her salon is about 15 minutes away from the resort in case you and the bridesmaids wanted to visit her in the salon. In total, with the taxes, gratuity, and pay pal charge, I am paying about $479. It's a lot, but I purposely budgeted money for hair and make up as it's not my strength and I wanted my hair and make up to be on par with my dress. From feedback, Dreams' salon does a decent job, but as I said, I didn't want everyday make up and hair for myself, especially for all the photos and to compliment my dress. Hope this helps.

Thank you Trisha and Tammy for your feedback. Trish, your picture tour was awesome. Really helpful to get an idea of what everything looks like. I think I have settled on El Patio for our morning after brunch. I read on the Dreams Los Cabos Facebook page that the resort relaxes the dress code during the summer months and is okay with leather sandals and "elegant" shorts for the men at Portofino. I think we're asking anyone attending our rehearsal dinner at Portofino to wear dress pants, collared shirts, and leather sandals or shoes. Thank you again ladies!

Hello! I live in Southern California and frequent Las Vegas often. I have not heard of that web site before. I would recommend being cautious in using web sites or services like that in Las Vegas. Sometimes you can find a great company, but often you'll not get what you paid for. I would ask any friends or bridesmaids if they have any connections. Also, check in with the concierge at the MGM Grand or with the shows you are interested in watching. They may have bachelorette packages available. Groupon or Living Social often have deals associated with Las Vegas shows and activities. Airlines will also have airfare specials to Las Vegas. I have noticed more airlines offering direct service to Las Vegas from the South, Midwest, and East Coast. Since you will be there in August, pool parties at the MGM or other hotels can be a fun day time activity. It still will be really warm at night so you can walk the main part of the Las Vegas Strip to enjoy all the hotels, water shows, bars, etc. And in all honesty, bachelorette groups receive a great deal of attention and perks in Las Vegas so you and your girls should have a great time! Good luck and enjoy Las Vegas!

Question regarding resort requested attire at the restaurants within Dreams. Any feedback from former Dreams Brides about the attire policy? I have details on requested attire at each restaurant, but curious how closely it is followed. Determining a restaurant for a Newlywed Send Off Brunch the day after our wedding as we are looking for a restaurant with a casual setting and attire. Was thinking El Patio or Seaside Grill. Any thoughts, especially from people who have stayed and dined at Dreams? Thank you!

Hey gals! Not sure how you're contacting Neysa, but I use this email, [email protected], and I hear back from her within a day or two. She's always been quick to respond and super helpful. Hope you can reach her. Also, from some of the feedback I've heard through this blog, it seems like Dreams Salon does okay hair & makeup. Neysa's work is pretty amazing. Since my bridesmaids want something simple, they are using Dreams Salon and I am hiring Neysa for myself and our mothers, as a gift, since you need 4 services to book Neysa. In case you were curious of Dreams salon prices, these are the quotes I received from the salon director. Magda mentioned you'll book directly with the spa director for any services, such as the ones in the wedding packages.     Hairstyling (long hair)     $59 usd     Hairstyling (short hair)     $49 usd     Make up             $49 usd Good luck with hair and make up decisions!!

Hey fellow Dreams Brides! It's time for me to make some food choices for our wedding in September. I have read some of the reviews from former Dreams Brides (thank goodness for you gals!), but I was curious if anyone had additional feedback on reception dinner choices, including the capapes.We have the silver menu within our package. Also, choosing a pre-selected menu for our rehearsal dinner at the Portofino Restaurant. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance for your help!

Has anyone used the rectangle tables Dreams provides? We are doing family style seating (one long row of rectangle tables, seating on both sides) at our wedding and I am looking to purchase table clothes and make table runners. Magda quoted the table sizes at 94.5 inches by 48.4 inches. Just wanted to see if anyone else had table sizes or feedback in bringing their own linens to Dreams. Thank you!
