Here Are 5 Destination Wedding Trends at Dreams Resorts & Spas You Don’t Want to Miss!

The memory of your wedding day will last a lifetime. It is an event that represents you as a person and the two of you as a couple. Take a look at some of the hottest trends for Destination Weddings in 2015 and how Dreams Resorts & Spas can make them happen! These trends are sure to create a unique event that you will want to relive over and over!

The Tech Trend:  

Technology is a rapidly changing and an ever growing part of our world. So why not incorporate the latest high tech gadgets into your wedding celebration!? Add an aerial component to your wedding video with a drone camera service! This is great for destination weddings because not only can you and your guests be in the picture, but the entire surrounding area can be represented. Photographers and videographers have also started using GoPros to get really creative video to commemorate your special day. Selfies are ever popular across all social media platforms. It took no time at all for the selfie stick to catch on for weddings! Now, the ultimate Instagram worthy selfies are being created using this innovative and popular technology.

Going Green While Wearing White

One of the growing trends for 2015 is a preference towards environmentally conscious events. Natural flowers and décor are becoming a growing decorative option. Dreams Las Mareas in the Guanacaste region of Costa Rica has wedding coordinators who are excellent at integrating luscious greenery and gorgeous, natural flowers into the wedding décor. You can use natural flowers to accent your wedding décor for a pop of color that doesn’t take a toll on the environment.

Welcome Parties For Guests

Destination weddings are great for offering couples a lot of options and a lot of time with their guests. Traditional weddings typically encompass an 8 hour period; whereas, with a destination wedding, you can have several days with your guests. This opens your options up to adding a welcome party for your event. Try having a welcome bonfire on the beach with an open bar service offering top shelf spirits or set up a private tequila tasting with delicious bites! No matter what you plan, your guests will love the added time they get to spend together socializing at the special event you put together!

Cultural Traditions

Honoring cultural heritage or religion is important for so many couples. All Dreams Resorts & Spas can offer South Asian style weddings and there are even some resorts that are specifically certified for authenticity for these elaborate gorgeous weddings. Dreams Tulum can offer almost every couple exactly what they’re looking for! They offer South Asian style weddings with the amazing Shaadi Package designed to encompass 6 events. They also have an on-site chapel where Catholic ceremonies can be performed. On top of these two great options, any couple can choose to have a traditional Mayan ceremony with a Shaman.

Viennese Hour

Since you’re pulling out all the stops and really treating your guests to the ultimate experience at your wedding, why not add the pinnacle of all dessert options? The Viennese Hour is a growing trend in weddings. It may be confused with a dessert bar, but make no mistake; the Viennese Hour goes above and beyond a typical dessert bar. This decadent trend is basically all your guests could ever want in dessert options at weddings. The Viennese hour consists of table after table of delicious treats ranging from chocolate covered strawberries to cakes to cookies and everything in between.

Be sure to enjoy every second of your wedding celebration and let Dreams Resorts & Spas take care of the rest! Find the wedding package that fits your needs today!

Luckily for Dreamers, as part of the Unlimited-Luxury® experience, guests may Sip, Savor & See at nearby participating resorts from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. every evening! The options for your eating and drinking enjoyment are endless.

Walk for a Good Cause at Dreams Palm Beach

One of the many reasons we love our guests at Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana is that they are always happy to help the community surrounding our beautiful resort. The Dreams Palm Beach Walk for a Good Cause was no exception!

Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana guests participate in the Walk for a Good Cause.

This was our first walk of this kind and everyone had a blast. There were about 20 guests and staff members that took part in this 2-kilometer walk which led us to a public school next to the hotel and then an eco-tour at the natural “La Laguna” reserve.

Each participant from Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana got to tour the La Laguna wildlife refuge.

Nothing like taking in a view like this after a workout! Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana guests had a wonderful time touring La Laguna.

The walk was a great opportunity to fit in some cardio exercise while supporting the local Punta Cana community. Each person paid two dollars for entry in to La Laguna which went directly to the community and at the school, guests had the pleasure of providing breakfast to an entire classroom where students welcomed them with a song and many smiles!

A good time was had by all at this stop on Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana’s Walk for a Good Cause.

The activity was such a success that we will be continuing to hold walks twice a week. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Walk for a Good Cause! We hope to see you again soon at Dreams Palm Beach Punta Cana!

Five Tips on Taking Great Vacation Photos

Photos are the best way to share your Dreams Resorts & Spas vacation adventures with family and friends. They truly are memories that last a lifetime, which is why it’s so important that your pictures turn out as vibrant and beautiful as possible! We’ve put together five tips to help ensure you that your vacation memories with us will be picture perfect and last forever.

  1. It’s all about the camera.  Every fabulous photo begins with one thing: a stellar camera. You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a professional piece of equipment to take great pictures—try a smaller, point-and-shoot camera. PCMag.com’s list of “Top 10 Digital Cameras” can help you make your decision.  Or if you have an iPhone or a Droid, now is the perfect opportunity to use the built-in camera.
  2. Take photos of whatever strikes your fancy.  Don’t feel like you have to confine yourself to only taking pictures of “touristy” spots. Walk by a small alley in town that looks like it’s straight out of a movie? Snap it. Stumble upon a sea turtle sunbathing on the beach? Get out your camera.  Take shots that define you trip, such as seashells on the beach, an adventurous excursion or your beach-side lunch.
  3. Snap as many photos as possible.  Take photos everywhere and take them often. This way, you’ll have many photos to choose from when it comes time to put together a scrapbook or a Facebook album.  If you took pictures with your smartphone, download the Instagram app if you haven’t already, and use a filter to give your favorite photos a unique effect.
  4. Shoot first, crop later.  If you cannot achieve the exact framing that you would like while taking the picture, you can always crop it down to the desired size later. Playing around with the zoom on a camera can get rather time-consuming and frustrating. Similarly, if you find an interesting section of a photo that you did see before first reviewing your pictures, don’t be afraid to crop and zoom in on it. Moments pass by quickly, and it’s important that you don’t miss them!
  5. View all of your pictures before deleting them.  This step is particularly important. There could be hidden gems in your collection of photos that you may not even be aware of!

Now that you have these great tips for taking great photos during your next vacation, don’t forget to share them with us once you return home!  Find all of our resort locations on Facebook (see below), Instagram and Pinterst!
