Hello Dreams brides! Congrats on your upcoming weddings! I'm sorry to hear about the trouble with the Cancun resort closing for renos, but I'm sure you'll be able to find another resort that will be perfect for your big day, either within the Dreams network or outside of it.

 

This post is for any brides interested in affordable unique decor for your big day. I'm a newlywed from Vancouver, Canada that lives down here in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I have quite a few decor items leftover from our wedding in May, mostly in a rustic vintage style. I've decided to rent things out to brides that don't want to lug things like vases & mason jars down here to Mexico, and have priced things quite fairly compared to the resorts' prices.

 

I have a lots of different types of bottles, mason jars, vases and lanterns, as well as a variety of other items like wooden signs & frames, table runners, rustic birdcages, string lighting and even a portable sound system. A lot of these items are very hard to find down here, and many brides have been happy to find my collection of wedding decor.

 

If you want a Style Me Pretty or Ruffled type of wedding in Mexico without a huge price tag, I'm your gal! So far no one has had to pay an outside vendor fee at all, as they tell their WC that they have brought the decor themselves. I'm also always interested in buying items that brides bring down and would like to sell after their weddings, please send me photos of anything you'd like to sell!

If you'd like to see some photos and a price list, please send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you all the info. Also if anyone has any questions about the area, ask away! I've lived in Playa Del Carmen for two years and know the whole coast quite well. Happy planning ladies!

 

Here's a couple of photos of some items we used in our wedding and that are for rent, but I have lots more:

Yikes - 52 days until we get married!!! 

 

I've been cranking through a lot of stuff lately… just finished the luggage tags we're sending to all of our 55 guests with a packing list, I've drafted the ceremony (we're doing a symbolic ceremony with my god father as the officiant), attendant gifts all bought, table assignments done and now I'm taking a stab at the Welcome letter for out of town bags. I have to say, this stuff is exhausting! I get why people pay so much to have other do this! Does anyone have any tips or examples of welcome/schedule letters to share? I'm feeling like my creative writing is zapped after the ceremony writing!  

 

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

 

This was our cover page for our Welcome Book, our wedding day schedule of events, and info for our group activities. Keep it fun and simple, and to the point!  

 

 

 

We said the "when hunger strikes" part on the first page because we gave a couple of pages of suggestions of restaurants in the area for lunch and dinner, as well as fun bars to go to. We weren't at an all-inclusive, so we thought some guidance and info about the places to eat in the area would be beneficial for our guests.

Thank you so much! Our photographers were amazing, they stuck around for 14 hours on our wedding day! We trusted them completely and were so happy with the way the captured the day.

 

I'm not sure where the graphics for our timeline came from, my husband put that together. He had two wedding tasks — all the graphic design/print materials and showing up at the alter. He accomplished both magnificently, if I do say so myself!
