LOVES it too! I think that it will look beautiful on solid colored chairs regardless of whether you go with pink or any color :-)

My groom is tucked away in his personal room for the night and I am so excited for the morning to get here! It's going to be an amazing day rain or shine and I promise that each of you made the RIGHT choice chosing dreams. We are only doing the free wedding package and they have treated us like kings and queens. I am blown away and me and my guest are already planning our return trip next year!!! Ok girls...jumping off here to catch some zzz's before the big day! I will have a full review when I return!

Goodnight,

The Soon To Be MRS!

Is there a wedding package included at Dreams Riviera similar to what Palace resorts offers?

The deck area is definitely more private, but after about 7pm there is not much going on in the pool area either, unless the seaside restaurant is open that night (it is located pool side).  I used CD's, but they really seemed to prefer an ipod, and yes the speakers on their sound system are very loud.

WE had the single layer cake with vanilla filling and white icing and roses on top.  It was very simple but the cake was delicious, the best desert we had all week, and the icing was simple but it was nice.

So I was thinking roses of various kinds on top and just a two layer cake with some piping to keep it simple - roses on top look fine right?

OMG! You're at your reception right now! I hope everything today was PERFECT!

Congratulations!

getting married at Secrets Maroma ( I fell in love with the Maroma Beach) but all resorts on that bit of stretch are adults only, this way we are doing just shy of 1 week at Dreams Riviera Cancun and just over 1 week at Secrets Maroma. Our reception is back at Dreams. Its expensive and was a big headech to do it this way - wouldnt recommend.

Hi All

 

Getting Married on April 03, 2011!!

 

Does anyone know what the chairs look like that they use at the reception??  Trying to decide if I should get different chairs or if the sashes will be enough!!

 I didn't give them any preference for the cake besides the tres leches flavor.  It was delicious and the cake was simple and pretty.  Here's the best picture I have of it.  I have heard that they're pretty good at replicating pictures of cakes that you show them though.  You can see the lanterns above the buffet in the background too!
