My wedding is May 31st. The travel agent just said that the longer people wait the more expensive it would be and the less likely the hotel will have availability for them. I'm really worried that no one will come, I want to cry Maybe I'm just having a moment. it feels good to hear about all the other brides on here who are dealing with the same problem. I too put so much effort in finding the most economical place and hotel and I sent my save the dates a year in advance. I've explained to my family and friends that this is an opportunity for them to go on vacation and see me get married. There hasn't been a wedding in my family in over 15 years and I can't remember the last time anyone went on vacation. I'm crossing my fingers everything works out.

She said the fall discounts end in October. After Nov. she claims that the rates go up significantly. Is anyone else in my shoes? Have all their guest reserved their room and flights already?

Hello ladies, It's only 7 months until my wedding in Cancun Mexico and NO ONE has booked. I just got off the phone with my travel agent and she has informed me that the airfare and hotel rates will go up significantly by the end of this month. What should I do? I'm worried no one will come. I understood that by moving my wedding to Mexico the guest list would be cut significantly (maybe 20 people tops) but now I'm worried no one will show up! Did I make the wrong decision?????

That sounds beatiful. I'm still on the fence. Hopefully I can make a decision soon. My hair is medium brown and I just feel colored flowers will pop more against my hair

Thank you Moments that Matter. Do you have any photography packages with pricing available that you could send me? I still haven't chosen a photographer and I wasn't impressed with the one the resort is providing. If you could email it to me I would greatly appreciate it! [email protected]

Do you have any info on the person you bought your invites from on etsy? I'd like to check them out?

Hello ladies! My apologies for the late response, I'm still new to this :0 Thank you thank you thank you for all your helpful tips. I will definitely bring my own, chair sashes, table cloths and other stuff for decorations. I've also heard of a lot of brides using silk or real touch flowers in lieu of the flowers the resort offers. I know I can use an outside local florist, but honestly I really don't want to deal with the hassle and I would die if something went wrong (like my flowers never showing up). My only concern is.. hmm fake flowers??? But at least I know they would last forever... any thoughts? Checked more into the Mariachi band at the Dreams Resort. It's $450 for a trio (3 people) for 45 mintues.$1,100.00 for a mariachi group (5 or more people) for 45 minutes. Still VERY high in my opinion! I could definitely get a cheap mariachi band in LA that sounds incredible for much less, but oh well I just have to suck it up since mariachi's is something that's very important to me having at my wedding. I also reserved Fernando Fuentes for my make-up and hair... has anyone else booked him or heard of his work? I've been on this site for weeks and previous brides seem to rave about him.

Hey ladies, I was just curios what all of your are doing for bridal flowers? Will you be placing a flower in your hair? Will you have all white flowers? Or will you have colored flowers? I was sure I wanted my flowers to have lots of color but now looking at other brides I'm confused.

Do you have any info on how your wedding actually went????? How about pictures from the Dream Resort?

Getting married in May at the Dreams Resort in Cancun. Me and my fine are a young couple who is just starting off and any advice we could get would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I just recently put a deposit down at the Dreams Resort in Cancun Mexico and I was hoping anyone could give me advice on ways to save money. The cost of things is adding up so fast. The wedding will take place at the Gazebo for about 20-30 people. Still not sure where to have the reception. Is it necessary to have a sound system or DJ for such a small group? I wanted to have mariachi's for about 2 hours but the resort is claiming it's $1,100 for 45 minutes!!!!! ARE THEY INSANE? That's more than what the cost is in Los Angeles. My colors are teal and fuchsia and I was thinking of not having any bridesmaids just a flower girl (mu 4 year old daughter) to keep things simple. Everyone has raved about Fernando for make-up and hair, he's expensive so I'm considering using Norma instead... any suggestions? There's a million other things I could ask so if anyone can help I would really appreciate it! Me and my fiance are a young couple and were just starting off so all of this is really new to us. Thanks!
