Hey guys,

 

I just got back from a site visit at Dreams... what an amazing resort.. dont worry if they dont get back to you right away, they will... they are soooooo incredibly busy.. they had weddings every single day, and some days more than one. dont worry too much, they really do have everything under control!

Wow - been a while since we last posted - busy busy busy !!! Trying to tie up all those little loose ends...

 

A few questions for those of you who have already been married...

 

1. With the Tres Leches cake, is it strong enough to support a cake topper? Some brides have indicated that it can be somewhat moist - even soggy - just don't want the topper to sink into the cake. Thoughts?

 

2. Do they decorate the cake by default, or are you just given a plain cake and it is up to you to specify all the decorations, such as flowers, etc?

 

3. For those of you who used Claudia Rodriguez's photography, did you meet with the photographer in the days before the wedding to discuss shots that you wanted, or did you do that the day of, or via email, or just go with the flow? Did you bring a list of shots?

 

Thanks much - sorry we haven't been posting lately... Time's a flying !!!

Some brides have indicated that it can be somewhat moist - even soggy - just don't want the topper to sink into the cake. Thoughts?   This cake is meant to be moist, 3 milks cake, very typical in Mexico. I did not have it as my wedding cake so I cannot answer the cake topper question. I usually like this cake though.   2. Do they decorate the cake by default, or are you just given a plain cake and it is up to you to specify all the decorations, such as flowers, etc?   They give you options for the cake. Since she knew what flowers I was using for the wedding, she chose something similar for the cake.   3. For those of you who used Claudia Rodriguez's photography, did you meet with the photographer in the days before the wedding to discuss shots that you wanted, or did you do that the day of, or via email, or just go with the flow? Did you bring a list of shots?   We only corresponded via email. I wasn't worried at all since I knew her work. We spoke about it a bit when we met when I was getting ready, but she's the pro and she has done so many weddings there.   Thanks much - sorry we haven't been posting lately...

as paula mentioned there is a cake file with pics that shows different options.

Before I left for mexico, claudia set up a date and time for citlalli and her assistant to come to the resort and meet with me. I think it was the day after we got there, we talked about different shots and she showed me some albums, etc... If you mention to claudia that you'd like to meet with her beforehand, I'm sure that won't be a problem.
