[padisneyfour]

well things have calmed down here and I am feeling more comfortable about restarting my PJ now with some edits here and there-still.. I will sort of recap quickly.
we are planning for a VR for our 20th anniversary in july 2010 with just family which brings us to about 27 so planning for a wishes package. Our two DD will be our bridesmaid(only attendants) and would love to have actual anniversary date which falls mid week that year. would like wp and the reception(not firm location ideas on that but want it to be relaxed and fun! and then DP party later, but where is a question. I love wishes, DH likes illuminations and 2DDs love fantasmic, so who knows!

I have a dress I found on sale, I know what I want to use as my save the dates and invites(cards and pockets), welcome bags logo, folder with some items and then favors. For favors I plan on using the Lenox mickey and minnie ears personalized. I plan on wearing a tiara. I will post some pics again later of different items/projects. Sorry, if you read this all before and for the rambling, bear with me and thanks for reading ... more to come I promise with pics!:)

[padisneyfour]

this is a brochure we have given to our families to share our plans....

[padisneyfour]

Glad to see your back! I'm looking forward to reading along!!
Thank you.. I am glad to be here...I will try to make it interesting....:goodvibes

[PhilHarMaestro]

i love those mickey ears!! :earboy2: Can I ask how much they were??

[padisneyfour]

I got most at a few different outlets never more than $6.00 each ( I found 12 once for $60.00 which covered most of what I needed) and a few off ebay too!
I also have bride and groom ears for me and DH which I will post later.... I LOVE them! I just personalized them using a gold perm marker.

[padisneyfour]

I had gotten these off ebay and never posted a pic before. I originally wasn't going to get the bride/groom ears but then decided to and will use the others just for guests.. sorry but its not the best picture. They are smaller than the other lenox ears. I wrote in gold on them as well. on the back of all of the ears I plan on putting the date and WDW 2010. These were the most costly ears but I still only paid about $20 with shipping which is basically the regularly listed price of one. I figure we are doing this once in a lifetime so splurge because for our wedding we really didn't ,our splurge then was saving to go to WDW for our HM. I think twenty years deserves a splurge! Does that make any sense?:goodvibes

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/bestVRears.jpg

[lov2b@disney]

Tammy- Glad to see your back and posting again!!!:cool1: I love the lenox bride/groom ears! So cute!

I already told DF ---wow---DH!!!!!:woohoo: :woohoo: We were doing a 10year VR--he said "we have to wait that long!" Enjoy all your planning! Keep us updated!

I am subbing and taking notes! lol
When we were married, I had children already, so we had a familymoon, and DH's sister and her family were in from San Fransisco, so it was a great celebration!
I have another 5 yrs to plan a VR! lol

[roozlilone]

Yeah Tammy, I'm glad you are starting your PJ again! :yay: :yay: Your guestbook is so awesome! Everything looks great! Keep the plans coming! :goodvibes

I have gotten most of my inspirations from other brides here so you are welcome to take notes....:goodvibes

I just realized I never added the photo/guestbook I plan on using to my PJ. I had posted about it so I will add it now.... some other dis brides had done these and I thought the idea was GREAT, so since we are doing a VR I thought about doing a book of through the years starting with our wedding and disney Hm and then adding pics of our many trips since with different members of our family . I used shutterfly( because I liked their covers and had a coupon too!) I won't post every "page but some. The cover is a padded photocover( i used my avatar pic because it is one of my favorite)
the cover
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/guestbookpic.jpg

the first page " The magic began twenty years ago...."
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb2.jpg

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb3.jpg

"on our walt disney world honeymoon"

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb4.jpg

"and continues through today!"
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb7.jpg


then I used several pages of disney like quotes and added pictures/collages from different trips and years.....

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb6.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/nycetc144.jpg


the last page reads "where family share magical memories"
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/pagegb19.jpg

then the back cover .... I used a verse from our wedding ceremony
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/nycetc146.jpg

There are twenty pages with over 100 pictures. I plan on having our guests sign with colored sharpies. I used the star pages throughout to sort of go with the magical theme- "our Magically ever after." I love how it turned out:love: !

[padisneyfour]

Yeah Tammy, I'm glad you are starting your PJ again! :yay: :yay: Your guestbook is so awesome! Everything looks great! Keep the plans coming! :goodvibes
Jody, Thanks.... I have several things I am working on....:goodvibes

[pjstevens]

Oh Tammy, so glad you are back with your PJ!!! Love the pics of the lenox mickey groom and minnie bride, they are adorable. I love the guestbook idea too. Can't wait so hear more. Again, welcome back!!

[padisneyfour]

Patty, Thanks. I am glad to be back in PJ mode. :goodvibes I have a few more project ideas brewing....:stir:

[padisneyfour]

well I have been working on a few projects.... the first project is a multi page mickey ears fan.
Here is the fan I have made....the back:http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/043.jpg
the front:http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/032.jpg
( which I like) but it seemed like a lot of writing on a small area and I liked figmentfan814 (Vanessa) multi page mickey fan program so I have made one. I will post picture soon. Also decided that even though, I like the mickey crystals on flip flops I have decided to wear skechers so I am working on making them fancier with some crystals/rhinestones and hopefully some mickey head crystal designs. I will post when I get more done. I am working on a design for our family shirts for the VR too. ( we always have family shirts for our wdw vacations so figure we should have ones for the VR too( another disbride has a design I really liked for her family shirts with bride minnie and groom mickey withtwo bridesmaids so I may use that design) I have also been looking at possible bouquets... more on that later.

[padisneyfour]

I plan on wearing skechers for comfort but thought they needed alittle bling so I have added some rhinestones..... and do they shine! (not the best picture-sorry!) will try to get another.... the rhinestones cost a total of $2.00 -I thought They looked pretty good.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/momshoes002.jpg what do you think? I still would like to add a mickey head crystal.

[Mama of Indybride]

Those are purdy! :goodvibes

How long did it take?

[padisneyfour]

Those are purdy! :goodvibes

How long did it take?

Thank you. . I liked how they turned out. I just decided on the shoes and had the rhinestones and thought I could add a little bling to the shoes, wasn't sure how it would look. Together both shoes took maybe an hour.... the rhinestones are in strip and then I sewed them on the mesh..:goodvibes

[pink_tink8i8]

I love the shoes! what a great idea!

[Keira1387]

You are so talented! I love all your projects!

[lpizzuro123]

Everything is just great. I am also doing a photobook through Shutterfly and it is just so much fun. I think using pictures through the years is a great idea. We are doing a little bit of the same thing. I am using the red hearts theme (as our colors are red and white) but I just love the blue stars for a magical theme. I am aos hoping to make the mickey fans but as would need around 60 I might just go with making my own progams and not mickey shapped. Thanks so much for posting all your project.

Linda
Linda, have fun creating you book- it was fun when my dds and I did ours. I really considered the heart theme too ( it is pretty) you will have to post a picture when your book is done. The mickey fans ( the one I already did shown above and the new multi page one) do take time and I only have to do 25 give on take, so I couldn't pass it up. They look so cute! Good luck with whatever program you decide to do....:goodvibes Thanks too! I have enjoyed working on the different projects.

I love the shoes! what a great idea!

You are so talented! I love all your projects!

Ladies , thank you. I like the shoes too!:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

for tables.... since we won't have too many( depending on recept location) I just decided to use disney movie titles(haven't chose what specific ones) but I just took 5 by 7 photomats ( which I got for look 30 cents a piece one day) and spruced them up aliitle... I will print movie title etc insert and then just close so they stand....

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010001.jpg

here is a unfinished sample of multipage mickey head fan. I will fasten together with either a star or heart shaped brads(actually just fancy shaped brass fasteners)... I added scrapbook glitter to the outside of the fan cover....you can see alittle bit of the glitter on the second picture..
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010004.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010005.jpg
additional pages inside will have music selections, attendants etc with different background pictures....

this will be the last page....
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010006.jpg

the back side of the fan will still be the same as before......
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/043.jpg

Monday (7/7) will be our 18th wedding anniversary and my birthday.It doesn't seem possible.

[keenercam]

Wow! Tammy, everything looks fabulous! You have such creative ideas and the talent to carry them out! Your guestbook is fabulous and the programs are awesome! LOVE the blinged sketchers. I think I have the same sketchers but haven't decided yet whether to "bling" them. You are truly inspiring me! :hug: Thank you for sharing your ideas!

Cam, Thank you for your kind words. I am really enjoy all the projects it is something I haven't done in a long time..... here is an idea I have for the sharpies I will have for our guests to sign our guest book.I want colors so I am going to get different colored sharpies for everyone and then attach them to a mickey head cutout with a verse on it about the guest book and a thank you. Another disbride had done something similar. Here is a sample of my project. Just used black posterboard, gold ribbon and a thank you tag. The color is off. here is the front
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010003-1.jpg
and the back with our monogram
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010004-1.jpg
I usede a gold sharpies to write on the black.

[29apr00]

Love the shoes! So cute!! and your table cards are adorable!! Be sure to do a Lady and the Tramp one for me!!;)

[pink_tink8i8]

what a great idea! It's adorable!

[padisneyfour]

well it will be two years from today (I hopepixiedust: ) we will be having our VR. I know that is a ways off yet but I am still excited..... I have so many ideas spinning in my head today. It is actually our 18th anniversary today and my birthday(not such a big deal). I have started trying to organize my thoughts on what to put in my welcome folders for general info purposes( I have been working on that and will post what I have soon) and I have a few more items that are HTH for the welcome bags. Dh and I have also decided we will be staying at the poly at least one night( I am hoping for two- the night before and after) and I think I have figured our what flowers I want in the bouquets... I will try to find a picture.more to come....:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

since we only have a small number of families that we will be inviting(family for the most part) I ordered a customized park maps to see what they were like and then had one sent to my moms address too, I plan on getting additional for the families attending since so few and have the time.You can only order once every 6 months. I also found a website (that may have been posted before) for LED/glow necklaces and have ordered some for DP(?):cool1: They came to like $1.60 a piece. On the same site they have LED spinning Mickey head/ball- may need to get some of those too later... will see what the necklaces are like once they arrive.

[pjstevens]

yea for mini updates!!!! You have so many great ideas Tammy.

[29apr00]

oh!! Where did you get the LED lights and necklaces!

[padisneyfour]

yea for mini updates!!!! You have so many great ideas Tammy.
Thank you.... my family wonders though....:rotfl:

oh!! Where did you get the LED lights and necklaces!
the name is premier glow in tenessee. I just searched their site. The necklaces came yesterday- they are so COOL! They are red,yellow, blue green and purple- I think( each necklace is 5 colors anyway) and they flash the different colors.:rainbow: I ordered 24 and it was $38.00 including shipping . The spinning mickey head I thought look neat are currently out of stock. I tried to get a picture of the necklaces but it didn't work well. will try again over the weekend. In other news, per se, the customized maps came- I think they are neat looking. My plan is to include them in the welcome stuff too. then last night dh and I were talking and DH wants to wear a top hat but not with mickey ears. he wants GOOFY ears-these weren't around when we had our HM- he told me that is my next project. His favorite character is goofy. He has a vest with goofy faces to wear (similar to the mickey vests) for the VR and a tie with goofy outlined on it. The First thing is finding a top hat..... I will keep you posted:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

something I have been playing with for awhile is making my bouquet at least( flowers to me are important but not the most important if that makes sense). anyway I have been trying a few different arrangements I guess you would call them... here is one what do you think? Does it look too fake?I plan on adding some crystals and of course a mickey head on the ribbon and maybe a little bit of a third color or colored ribbon instead of white or twisted together with the white. will have to think about that.... feedback will help. I have never really done anything with flowers before. what do you think? Any Suggestions?Thanks...:goodvibes
7/13 new Update: well, I have started again and now I have found a picture to use as guide and I am currently reworking the bouquet arrangement.... will post once arranged....
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/bouquetmom2010002.jpg

[padisneyfour]

well, I have done some more work on the bouquet project....here's what I have now. I added a few pearl sprays but no crystals yet...... The picture is blurry. What do you think? Suggestions? I am open for ideas....:goodvibes

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/bouquetmom2010003.jpg

[29apr00]

beautiful!!! That is something i'd like to try, but i'm sure there's no way i could figure out flowers!! Great job!

[padisneyfour]

beautiful!!! That is something i'd like to try, but i'm sure there's no way i could figure out flowers!! Great job!

Thanks for the response. I am trying... never really done flowers before either, but figured I 'd give it a try.... if it works that's money I can use on somthing else:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

well, I found a top hat for DH to wear like the mickey groom hat but instead of the mickey ears he wants Goofy Ears, so I just got a regular top hat ( and it fits too!) from ebay and I am now working on creating goofy ears......:rotfl: they won't be difficult but I am not sure what type of cloth to use yet( will have to think on that) will keep you posted.... for my bouquet - I am thinking about adding the lacy ribbon from my original wedding bouquet along with the other ribbons.

[Keira1387]

Beautiful bouquet!!!

[padisneyfour]

Beautiful bouquet!!!
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/bouquetmom2010003.jpg
Keira, Thank you for you nice comment.:goodvibes I still want to add some crystals for some sparkle and maybe a little more color to make it pop!:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

I plan on using the lenox mickey ears as my favors/placecards.originally planned on personalizing one per guest and having at tables for seating. But afraid they will get broken, so thinking of leaving them in the box - personalized( I have boxes for all) wrapping/decorating the boxes and having the boxes at the table for seating. I found some glittery tissue paper with gold stars and have sort of worked up a possible design. It sort of goes with the design I am using for our logo. I had thought about adding a ribbon around the box ,but not sure on that. what do you think? any thoughts? alternatives? Thanks for reading.:goodvibes

[IndyBride]

I think that's a really fun idea. Everyone likes opening presents and that's exactly what it's like.

[lov2b@disney]

I think that is a great idea!:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

Val and Sandy,thanks,:goodvibes just a thought may tweak it some yet:goodvibes

[keenercam]

Oh, yeah! I am totally all for unwrapping presents. ;) They look great! :thumbsup2

[padisneyfour]

Oh, yeah! I am totally all for unwrapping presents. ;) They look great! :thumbsup2

Cam, Thank you. I am still working with them alittle.:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

not doing too much. working on a few things here and there and in my head too. have decided we will use movies names for reception tables to be put in frames I already made.... the names we are def using will be cinderella, beauty and the beast, the little mermaid, Pirates of the caribbean and still need a couple more maybe toy story, jungle book, lady and the tramp etc.... I will post the pictures later of the trial version tablecards and seating cards( so when guests arrive they know what table to look for) that I have been working on.Then on the tables will be the wrapped ears at each seat. I would like to have each table have colored linens( or maybe just a colored runner/napkin) to tie in with each movie ( maybe red for Pirates, light blue for cinderella etc.)and then some little item to go along with the movie too., i.e. glass slippers for cinderella, a rose for beauty and the beast etc.... thats all for now. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone but me, its a beginning....:goodvibes

here are the frames...they are photomats decorated. I think I paid something like thirty cents for each one.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mom2010001.jpg

[padisneyfour]

well, I thought I would post my trial version of table and seating cards. The seating cards are tent cards and I decided that inside each one( according to theme) I will use a quote from the movie,i.e. Cinderella " A dream is a wish your heart makes...." I thought they turned out pretty good considering I just used word. What do you think? BTW, I am open for movie quote ideas too....thanks for reading.:goodvibes

They came out great. I have been using Word for most everything I am doing and I love it.

I also like the ideas of the quotes inside.

Thanks for posting.

Linda

Linda, Thank you. I was happy with how they turned out.:goodvibes

I think I have managed to find all my quotes too! Some were def. more difficult than others..... here is what I have so far....

for cinderella.... " a dream is a wish your heart makes" -this was easy!
toy story.... " to infinity, and beyond!"
little mermaid( part of a song) "such wonderful things around you"
jungle book..." forget about your worries and your strife"
POTC...." Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate"
Beauty and the beast.... "True beauty comes from within..."

I also have a mickey and minnie "sweet heart" table card made too. I even added a little not so hidden mickey inside the tent cards below the quotes.

any thoughts? I am still open for additional ideas.... Thanks for reading :goodvibes

I just have to say that I LOVE YOUR BOUQUET! The blue is soooo pretty!

Amy, thank you. I had never worked with flowers before:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

I have been looking for awhile. I found some on ebay I really like now I just have to wait and see. Had thought about using ours from our wedding but thought it would be nice to have "disney" like glasses for VR....:goodvibes

[keenercam]

Tammy, I love the quotes you chose! Isn't it fun seeing how much there is to choose from? I did a google search last night for Walt Disney quotes and I found the WISHES narrative. Disney is "quote-rich" territory, for sure! :love:

Cam, Thanks..... The ones I chose weren't exactly what I was originally looking for but conveyed the specialness( if that is a word) /meaning of the event and sharing it was our families and friends (most of whom were at our wedding too). Thanks for reading.....:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

Thought I would post a pic of DH outfit accessories so far.... a goofy vest, necktie with goofy silhouette and top hat. We added the "Goofy" name band but no "goofy ears" yet still working on that.(The top hat isn't for the ceremony) You would never guess who his favorite character is ....:goodvibes
PSST! There will be a surprise guest at our VR too! I borrowed an idea from Sandy and created a special autograph page for our guests that has M & M and Goofy in wedding attire.

There was another dis bride that actually found the design. I should thank her......::flower3:

[padisneyfour]

Some minor updates. I started to work on a sample of the inserts for the cards of pocket invites with some wording ideas and to put one together..... I plan on having five inserts: accommodations, transportation, reception, dessert party and then the RSVP. I will post pic later. I had a sample of the outside pocket folder done. Started to put together a planning binder so I just don't have papers/notes with ideas etc. scattered here and there. Also, I am waiting for the end to an ebay auction for my VR toasting glasses...... a couple days yet. Thats all for now. Thanks for reading.:goodvibes

Everything looks great, Tammy! The image for the tee shirts is so cute. I've never seen other girl mouses, I don't think. I LOVE Minnie's "maids" :love:

[padisneyfour]

well, here is my invite insert sample....I was pretty happy with the way it turned out for a first attempt. Need to do a little work on the spacing here and there but for the most part it went ok. The watermark picture is the same of the one on the outside of the invite. I added the vellum -which you can't really see, ribbon and heart crystal as I went to dress it up more....What do you think?

I love the invitation you made! It looks like so much work! I thought my newsletter looked like a lot of work :rotfl:

I love the invitation you made! It looks like so much work! I thought my newsletter looked like a lot of work :rotfl:Amy, Thank you so very much:goodvibes .... once I figured out what I was doing they really came together pretty easy, the hardest part was figuring out what general info to put on each insert until I can get specifics. I pretty much just measured then.... thanks for reading and good luck with your plans,too.:goodvibes

[Donald'sGirl]

Oh that is cool, sort of like a hidden mickey!!

[29apr00]

the shirt design is too cute!!

love the invitation mock up too! I like the blue color!

[keenercam]

Tammy -- Your sample invitation is gorgeous!!! I am having the same issue about what information to put on the cards. I am going to do an email questionaire to all of our guests about 6 weeks before so that I will know exactly who needs rides from where and flight information for people heading to the airport from the reception. So, I think the transportation card is going to say something like "Details will be provided when you check in to your resort."
Remind me of what is going on the Mickey that is going in the pocket?

[padisneyfour]

each ear will have one our names on it, in the middle of the large circle will be our monogram and then our date below that..... it will be inserted into pocket( sort of a hidden mickey):goodvibes

WOW!!!! This looks great!! It is organized really beautifully! And I love your idea for the hidden mickey! Great job! :thumbsup2

I got alot of ideas from other dis brides ( they are the experts)! I am glad you like them!! Some one at work I showed them to suggested adding some confetti in the pocket so when the mickey is pulled out there is a surprise!! I think I will do that, I have some shiny metallic star confetti!:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

I GOT the toasting glasses:goodvibes ..... here is the sellers image

[DisneyBrideToni]

Your toasting glasses are adorable!!!!! I love them.

[padisneyfour]

Your toasting glasses are adorable!!!!! I love them.

[pjstevens]

Tammy,

The flutes are beautiful! And your invites look amazing! Congrats on getting so many things done ahead of time.

[padisneyfour]

Patty, Thank you. I figured if I get samples etc done early its less to worry/stress about later. All I"ll have to do is plug in specifics..... and I've been having fun, too! My DDs like helping out too:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

I found these seals for envelopes..... I like them. I plan on ordering them. (Sorry the image is so small.) They are personalized with couples first names.:goodvibes When I found these I also saw some personalized candy bar wrappers. I know other dis brides have made them so I plan on giving that a try too. I plan on using a regular size Hershey bar.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mickeyseals.jpg

[padisneyfour]

I gave making candy bar wrappers a try and actually they were very easy..... just measured( found the measurements on a web site) added words, images using word .... and printed one off. I will post a pic later.:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

The toasting flutes came today in the mail. :yay: They look so much nicer than the picture below.... when I get them fancied up I will post a new picture...:goodvibes They are bigger than I thought they would be.... I love them :love:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/glasses.jpg
For the table cards, I have decided to put them in colored frame, i.e. cinderella will be in a light blue frame. I thought it looked alittle better. will post more later....here it is without the frame
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/momVR2008007.jpg

[padisneyfour]

Here are what some of the table cards look like with the frames added.... I love color.....I figure if I add color to the table and centerpieces won't necessarily have to add upgraded linens(if that makes sense) though some colored linens maybe nice....what do you think? Do they look better with the frames?:goodvibes

[Alec'sPrincess]

Tammy, those table cards look great - even better in the frame :thumbsup2! I can't really tell how big the tablecards are but you could definitely save on not getting the upgraded linens! You have so many options with these! You could still do colorful linens and pick 2 colors and do the frames and the linens in those colors, or you could just do a cool centerpiece that brings in the colors from the table cards. They look great, can't wait to hear more :goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

Amy, Thanks for the response. I like the frames better too. The frames are 5 by 7 so not big by any means. I am still thinking on the centerpiece ideas but I def want to tie in the colors w/movies and something that POPS.....:goodvibes

[Donald'sGirl]

I love the table cards! Those are really great and the frames are perfect with them. I would defintily use them!

Thank you both so much. I appreciate the feedback. :goodvibes
Since I have sorted got a bouquet worked up I thought I would work on bout. for DH. This is what I have so far.... I added three "homemade" mickey crystals. You can't see the crystals well I will try to get a better pic. later. what do you think? I asked DH his answer was "its been along time since I wore one of those....":confused3

[Alec'sPrincess]

Haha, the guys don't know what they like when it comes to flowers. :rotfl:

The boutonniere is lovely Tammy! I like that you made the white rose the center with the blue flowers as the accents. It matches the style of your bouquet perfectly. I can see the crystals a bit on the flower and that looks great too. The flowers are so pretty together you almost don't need the greenery! :) Lovely job!!!! :yay:

[padisneyfour]

Amy, Thanks again. I like sharing my projects and getting feedback. I wondered about the greenery too, it may be changed. The design was based on a picture I saw. I haven't figured out how to get a good picture of the"mickey shaped" crystals yet my flash reflects back, but I am working on it, but I like the way they look and my 2 DDs thought they looked cute too....Thanks for reading:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

The mickey crystals are made with 3 faceted clear beads and floral wire. I will try to get a better pics to post...

[IndyBride]

The table cards look awesome in the frames!!!!

[29apr00]

Everything looks so great!!! I can't believe how much you have done already!!!

[padisneyfour]

I was using some beads the other day and decided to see what this might look like, so I made a "mickey crystal"- I may use them in my florals. They do have some sparkle and shine to them.( I may have to try some colored crystals too and see what they look like.)I just put them in the glass to try on get a better picture of them, don't plan on using that... any thoughts?
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/mommickcrystalsVRnewtablecards20-4.jpg

[Alec'sPrincess]

I like the crystals!! :thumbsup2 Would you just use them in your centerpieces, boutonierre and bouquet, or would you use them in other places?

[keenercam]

very cute!

[padisneyfour]

I could finally order these for my welcome/goody bags today... I have been waiting for them to be in stock, so I could place an order. I got them for the kids ( well maybe me too :) ).... I think they are cute/cool! They were ordered and are on the way.... YEAH! I plan on using them for the DP ...:goodvibes

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/Mickey_Spinner.gif

[Keira1387]

I love the mickey crystals! You are so creative!

[padisneyfour]

well I have been thinking about centerpieces. We are using movie titles and want to incorporate colors and quasi theme related. Got an idea today for the POTC table, so this is my first attempt.....I added pieces of gold and the beads, jewels we collected at Jan. Pirates and Princess Party with some red flowers I had( At first I thought yellow flowers ,but after seeing the red I like them. I want the flowers to be a little fuller though). I included the table card I plan on using. I plan on inserting some mickey crystals for some sparkle. What do you think? Its all unbreakable for storing/shipping etc and minimal cost. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

I haven't thought about really anywhere but the florals, so I am not sure....but it is an idea!:thumbsup2 Thanks for reading

very cute!:goodvibes Cam, thank you.

Oh those are so cool! The kids will love them!:goodvibes I thought they were too the first time I saw them , and planned to ordered them then but this was the first they have been in since
may I think.Thanks for reading

Val thanks, :goodvibes its a work in progress but a start.... I only plan on having four tables along with a sweetheart table so not alot of centerpieces to do so I can have some fun "creating" them..... My plan is that each table will have a different colored centerpiece (movie title /theme), will see how that comes together. Thanks for reading:goodvibes

[keenercam]

Tammy -- That is such a cool idea! I agree that with fewer tables to manage, we can be a bit more creative and not so constrained by a budget. We also have 4 guest tables and a sweetheart table, but we are using our aisle floral from the wedding pavilion for our guest tables & the altar piece for the sweetheart table. Are you thinking of coordinating the linen colors with the theming, as well?

Cam, I am glad you like the idea.I plan just to add a splash of coordinating linen color, like napkins and/or table runner etc. sort of what you had in mind for DP. The other colors I have in mind are light blue for Cinderella, green for jungle book and orange for toy story. I want it to look nice and FUN, not empty but trying to conserve $ where I can for other things.... :goodvibes

Tammy -- I LOVE the ideas for colors. You'll have 3 "brights" -- orange, red & green and one kind of pastel -- Cinderella blue. Have you thought yet about what color you'd use for the sweetheart table? Or are you thinking of doing the pastel blue for the sweetheart table and another "bright" for your fourth guest table?

I have been working on centerpiece idea for cinderella table along the lines of the POTC posted above. This would be clear container filled light blue (?- right now tiussue paper)then I added a styrofoam pumpkin 3/4 around outside bottom of container with glass slipper in front.( sort of hard to picture, I know...) Then put silk white roses with light blue and white carnations in the container/vase. I have a light blue frame w/ table card and would use lightblue overlay linens (napkins/runner).I am looking for a silver star wand to add with florals. will post a pic soon....

[padisneyfour]

The mickey spinners came- they play music too as well as light up!!! That was a surprise ! Here is the pic of possible cinderella table centerpiece- still in the works mind you. I can't find my envisioned star wand so I just made a crystal one to get an idea of what it might look like in the end.....thoughts, suggestions? Its hard to see the glass slipper at the base.Thanks for reading!:goodvibes

Tammy -- LOVE the Cinderella centerpiece. What a clever idea to use the pumpkin! I bet you'd find a wand very inexpensively after Halloween. The flowers look gorgeous. Oh, and please tell us where you found the Mickey spinners. I'd love to find them for the kids at our DP (as long as they turn the music off when WISHES starts. ;) ).

Cam, you are so sweet. I am never quite sure if I should keep posting everything I do or not- sort of like tooting your own horn per se(I don't normally do that) but it helps knowing others do read and seem to enjoy the plans and projects. I am having fun with it all! The pumpkin took alittle doing(more then I thought it would) and I had actually wanted one alittle bigger. I am hoping to still find the star wand I am searching for around halloween:goodvibes.
I am pleased with the flowers, all have come from walmart and most on clearance, so saved $ there too. They came together pretty easily too and I like the way they look.
I sent you a pm about the mickey spinners, but check soon because I know I had to WAIT to order because they were out of stock!:scared1: They ship fast though. DDs and DH really liked them.:goodvibes good luck!

[padisneyfour]

Well ,here is a work in progress. A mickey shaped pomander for DD(my DD liked another disbrides... Thanks).... need to touch up here and there- and eventually add a ribbon to carry it.

Sorry..girl. I forgot to check up on those sizes for you!
We checked into Michaels, but neither me or my sister could remember the size. I am pretty sure you got it figured out though..there weren't to many to choose from!

They look great so far! We used a shear ribbon on ours so that we weren't trying to match color so much..if that helps.. it was yellow.. but much more subtle than a solid one would have been!

Let me know if you need anything else!
Was hydrangea what you used? We just plucked tons of hydrangea and pinned the individual petals down? Looks pretty similar...

[padisneyfour]

Carly,:wave2:That s OK, thanks for offering . I gave it a try. Yes, I used hydrangea and roses. I hot glued mine though its seems to hold. There weren't many sizes so I guessed at what there was to choose from at walmart. The ears spacing needs adjusting etc. My DD likes it , she says it is poofy. Thanks.:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

Tried some sheer ribbon for the loop for the mickey pomander and its does look better than a solid ribbon, so I think thats what I will use.(thanks Carly, I never would have tried a sheer ribbon):goodvibes
One of my table decorations yet to be created was going to be a Toy story table, Toy story 3 is suppose to be released mid june of 2010 so I may use that. I thought that would be kind of cool.Thanks for reading....

I think the Mickey pompador for your DD looks great! You really did a fantastic job!

Laura, Thank you. I appreciate the positive comments ..:goodvibes Once I added the ribbon ( I used a sheer blue to coordinate with the colors) it looked more "mickey" shaped to me and my DD likes it too! She likes the idea of being able to keep it too!:goodvibes To echo what Carly said it was easy to make and basically very inexpensive! Extra $ saved/cut here and there add up- so they can be used towards other costs.Thanks for reading.

Your plans look wonderful! You are so creative, and I love the bouquets. Hydrangias are one of my favorite flowers. I have to ask....this sounds silly, but I really don't know. What letter do you use for the Initial, the First name initial, or the last name? :confused:

Thank you,:goodvibes I am happy the way the flower/bouquets turned out. I am glad they look ok to others. I have been having fun with the various projects. The bouquet jewels are for my DDs so I used their first name initial, if it was to be a monogram it would be the first letter of the last name.... good luck with all your plans. Have fun planning!

[padisneyfour]

well I got an idea for the toy story table centerpiece so I started it... the table card frame is orange so thats the color I started with. I used a clear container w/orange tissue and then added orange gerber daisies. then sat it in "created" a toy box. I have to add the toys, mickey crystals etc yet.... very early stages mind you. It would also have coordinating linens(napkins/table runner)
I am still in the thought stages for a centerpiece for the jungle book table, but the main color will be green with leaves and I am thinking an orchid or two (yellow/maybe white?)in the floral arrangement - just started trying to visualize...more to come....

The sweetheart table will be mickey and minnie, it will have my bouquet and then couple mini bouquets to match (to be given out as special thank yous).....I am still looking for a special frame for our table card.
I plan on adding confetti(mickey shaped, castle and tinkerbelle shaped to each table as well).

[padisneyfour]

after doing the bouquets, I had extra floral stems left so decided to try an make a wrist corsage for my mother.... here is what I did. Any suggestions? Its not the best picture- sorry. (It is made of three roses with mickey crystals and then the hydrangea and a bow).Thanks for reading...:goodvibes
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y173/motheroftwo/momgramfloralswcon001-1.jpg

here is some of the confetti like I plan on using(just mickey and the castle are shown. I plan on having tinkerbelle shape too). Its made with metallic scrap book paper. My DDs like punching it out.....

[padisneyfour]

I spent some time over the weekend working on the jungle book table centerpiece.... have the green container and leaves. I found some silk orchids- they are of whitish color with red/purple markings( got two stems) but after arranging decided it need alittle more color so I found some red jasmine floral spray and will add them to give it some POP - will post a pic soon. Also, decided will add a card with shortverse on each centerpiece stating guests can feel free to take centerpiece from their table with them if they choose. I have written a short verse. Thanks for reading ,more to come.....:goodvibes

Tammy -- everything looks great! Love the idea for the toy story table. :thumbsup2 and the wrist corsage looks very pretty! :cutie: Can't wait to see the JB centerpiece!

Cam, you do my heart good, but seriously thanks for reading and the positive feedback. It really does mean alot to me and is greatly appreciated.:goodvibes
I mentioned the verse about for the centerpieces, so I thought I would post it....

"This centerpiece was made with love and care especially for this magical day, please feel free to take this bit of magic with you as you go on your way!"

I think I will have this on a mickey shapped tag made from the metallic paper ( same as the confetti)attached with ribbon matching the color of the specific table. It will be pretty much one family per table. Thoughts? thanks for reading.... more to come..

[padisneyfour]

the centerpiece for the jungle book table.... it is still a work in progress but a start. I wasn't so sure about the orchids at first but I think the jasmine spray makes the color pop .....Thanks for reading

[padisneyfour]

here are the tags I made for the centerpieces to put the verse for guests to take if they choose... each tag will match main color of centerpiece. I used image of STD I plan on using on front of metallic paper then added verse on back and laminated so would be stiffer. Each will be tied to centerpiece with a ribbon...Thanks for reading...:goodvibes

The other day by accident, I was working with glue and some glitter and it dripped on a floral stem I had close by.... it looked pretty so I tried alittle more and decided to add it to the edges of some of my floral. The glitter shines in the light, but doesn't show otherwise. I just brushed the edges of the white/cream flowers with glue and then sprinkled fine white scrapbook glitter.here is a close pic to give you the idea....my DDs like it and want it on their bouquets. Any thoughts? what do you think?Thanks for reading. more to come:goodvibes

Thank you so much , I truly appreciate it. I am still in process on alot of the centerpieces and florals. Yesterday at walmart I found some great clear votives (alittle bigger than most) to hold the mini bouquets at the sweetheart table and they were marked down to $0.25 from $3.00 ! I love sales! Thanks for reading goodluck with your plans.:goodvibes

[pixiemama3]

wow everything looks so great ...

where did you order the mickey lights from if you dont mind nad if i missed it i am sorry. i think our guest list is more kids then adults. lol.

The JB centerpiece is great! It looks amazing! I still love how you are doing this, with each table having a different Disney movie. You are so creative. I love the shimmer on the flowers too. That gives it a little extra! :thumbsup2

Thanks. I ordered them from a website. they were under $3.00 each with shipping, but I had to wait because they were out of stock for quite a while. I will pm you the name.....I really like them. They play music too, but there is a button to turn it on and off( always a plus with kids):goodvibes

Amy, Thank you. Now that I have actually got the centerpieces started it does seem like it will come together. I am still working on both the JB and toy story but both are coming together- have a few thoughts yet. I will post pics later:goodvibes

well, here is a new pic of the toy story table centerpiece(not finished version but close).... the containers in front are actually plastic baby blocks with the top cut out will act as seat cards and will hold bag of candies(M&M, jelly beans etc..- not sure yet) All guests will find their seat cards w/their name and then have to find their specific table by movie title/color and choose their seat at that table. Every table will have something similar relating to a specific movie and different color,i.e. the Toy story table (as you can see) will be orange.Any thoughts? Thanks for reading

I have really had fun with this one. I really wasn't sure what it would come out like....After I posted the pic I actually found a couple mini items that are specific to TS so I added them- a green army soldier, a mini etch a sketch and Bo Peeps sheep:goodvibes

I also touched up the cinderella CP, the glass slipper at the base you couldn't really see so I painted the slipper with silver glitter paint and added some leaves to the pumpkin.Thanks for reading

[padisneyfour]

I went to the Dollar store the other day , and I found this cute padded frame to use for our sweetheart table card. All the guests table cards are in colored frames and I wanted something different for ours. I moved the bow to the corner and added a crystal mickey but for 75 cents I think it looks pretty good. The fabric is satiny with a bit of a shine with floral leaf/vine prints, the ribbon and bow have the scalloped edges with a floral design and some shimmer. I know another dis bride mentioned to check the dollar stores because you never know what you'll find and I will second that!
Otherwise, I added some shimmer to my youngest DDs mickey shaped pomander- she requested it after she saw the other bouquets. It was a little harder to do just because it had to hang as I did it. I may have to add more shimmer/"pixie dust" -will see what it looks like when it dries. Thanks for reading:goodvibes

ok bear with me.... I am just trying to visualize what I want for the sweetheart table set up and if it will work......I plan on using the table card from above, my bouquet standing in vase/cylinder right behind table card and then mini bouquets on either side with our M&M toasting glasses. The mini bouquets will be given out as special thank yous. Granted I don't have a semi circular table or correct linens but this was just stuck in my head today (My DDs is home sick so trying to keep busy will she sleeps).... what do you think? Too much? I am a very visualize person and sometimes I just need to see something in front of me. I don't want any candles. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for reading...:goodvibes

I had quite a few beads left from the "mickey crystals" I made for the bouquets so yesterday got an idea and created these.....sort of a crystal "mickey shaped" silhouette. The smaller ones , I will use with the bouquets. The larger ones I will use on the votives for the sweetheart table holding the mini bouquets.They dangle over the front of the votive.They reflect the light some too and since I had the beads I should use them. Any thoughts?

Cam, thanks. It is turning out better as I tweak it , hot glue makes that so easy to do! The blocks just sort of happened because I really had no idea what I would use. The more I look at the sweetheart table set up, I think it will come together nicely in the end, but sometimes when you have an idea in your head and then actually see it ;what you see versus what others see can be different so it does help having others perspectives/opinions (besides my DDs...though they do help me alot with the projects :goodvibes ) Thanks everyone!

Thank you,,, I would love to wear some of the shoes that have been posted -they are so pretty,but I am not one to wear heals so I figured go for comfort and dress them up bit.

I am looking for your thoughts.... should the bride hat have white ears or black ears? Neither set of ears is the final version, but just looking for your thoughts on what color the ears should be? I made the white first, but DH thought they should be black? :confused3
I like both, the black just because they are "different" for bride ears and more " Minnie" like , but the white in someways looks better too. I know this is not an earth shattering question by any means, just wondering....

We ordered our hats (I believe the same one lukyloo used). DF'S is black with white writing and mine is white with black writing. When our local Disney store was closing :scared1: they were giving out Mickey ears (kids size) in black so I just used these. I cut off the ears and there are two little holes in the base of each ear. The hats I purchaed had vent holes in them and the two on the sides are the perfect place to put the ears. I purchased paper brads and just put a brad through the hole in the ear and then through the hole in the hat and opened the brad when it got through the hat. I need to put a small hole on each side for the second hole. The ears stay on fine and I do not need to use any glue. This way we can just take the ears off and use the hat again. Not sure if we want to wear the ears on the way down but this way we can wear the hats.

Anyway, after all that, I am using black ears on both hats and I think ether one looks fine on your hat. I looks like your Bride is in rhinestones so the white might look better. Sorry that was so long.

Linda

[Alec'sPrincess]

Tammy, first I think both hats look great! You did a nice job with them.

Honestly, I think both of them are adorable. The black ears are more true to "Mickey" and "Minnie" but the white does look better with the hat!

I think maybe the white ones look better just because they meld with the gold and white of the hat a bit better! Just MHO! Are you making one for DH?

Linda and Amy, Thanks for your responses.... I am still pondering( both DDs like black ears too, now that they have seen them on the hat).The ears are just pinned on now until I decide....

Amy, Dh wants a top hat, but with goofy ears( his favorite character). I have the top hat and a hat band made with wide blue ribbon with "goofy" in rhinestones on it, so it looks sort like goofys hat but have to work on the ears yet... will post a pic later.:goodvibes

I am storing it at my moms now.... will keep you posted. I am still at a loss about even what to consider for my hair....:confused3. will have to wait and see.....

I believe I am partial to the white ears! They look great with the hat! But you definitely couldn't go wrong with either one! :thumbsup2 Congrats on getting to try on your dress today!! That is so exciting! I don't know what to do with my hair either, or the dress for that matter! :lmao: Do you know whether you want your hair up or down?

Looking forward to reading more!

[polynesianbride]

WOW! I am new to the boards and just found your PJ! I love all your stuff, you are very creative! :thumbsup2 I am also planning for 2010 (Dec. :santa: Escape at Sunset Pointe) and thought it was too early to get started but after seeing all you've done maybe I should start (especially since I'm not creative and this stuff would take me forever to figure out how to make!:confused: ) Thanks for all the great ideas I look forward to reading along!

Nothing really major to update, but I have decided to create a wedding website for our VR. I have looked a several different sites and think I have found the one I will use.

[padisneyfour]

My tinkerbelle punch finally arrived.... I plan on using it to make confetti to go with a castle and mickey head. Also have been looking a different lunch menus to try and get ideas. We were originally looked at using the tinkerbelle brunch menu with some adjustments( and may well be what we end up choosing) but wanted to get some other options/ideas too. I know they will customize menus . I think a buffet would be our best option. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. we are looking at a noon ceremony, so the main meal would be approx. 2: 00 give or take , so I don't want anything too heavy but yet enough to be filling until evening DP party.Thanks for reading... more to come:goodvibes

[padisneyfour]

Today I worked on alterations on my dress again, the sleeves and then the hem, just pinning and checking lengths etc. I was concerned the sleeves wouldn't work the way I planned to shorten them, but it DID! :cool1: I did decide that I am going to add additional colored tulle /netting to the underskirt for some fullness and see how that looks then if I want a criinie I can get that later..... more to come.

Hey Tammy- love the updates!! That is so exciting that the dress is coming along the way you wanted! :thumbsup2 Have you had any more thought on what you want to do for a hairstyle?

I wish I had a clue....about hair, make up and even jewelry..not a strong suit for me. I am rather a plain jane. My hair currently is just about shoulder length and very straight. It will hold some curl for awhile . I like wearing make up but don't wear it often. my everyday jewelry is limited to my wedding band and my e ring(yes I still wear it), necklace and maybe earrings. these are areas where I def need help!:goodvibes Suggestions?

Ladies, Thank you. I really do love it because it is simple but pretty!:goodvibes

Today I found some tulle/netting to add to the underskirt of my dress- I hope to work on it later this week! Also have added alittle bit more to our VR website- still a work in progress but getting there.

Laura, Thank you so very much.:goodvibes Yes DH's ring matches mine. When we got married we purchased a bridal trio set but DH lost his band several years ago and we just bought him a plain gold band as a replacement, so we really wanted our rings to match for our VR.

Cam Thanks. I am happy we are getting done what we can now too, because we will go down this coming july (2009)(after our year date) so hoping to have some decisions in place and then go back in Dec for DDs bday and possibly the PS( and see the decorations etc). Come 1/2010, I hope to have everything paid off /purchased w/o Disney and just have that to take care of...:goodvibes I hope anyway....does that make sense? Thats my plan as of now....

Hey Tammy! Congrats on getting the website up and running! :thumbsup2 Just wondering what website you used for your inspiration board and if it was difficult to make? I really want to make one but don't know where to start!

Thanks for the support about the website, I was happy with it and have gotten some nice responses back too! As for the inspiration board I am using bridalcanvas .com. I made one just to see how to it would look in word but I am now recreating it via that site. I just started with pics I had and began to group and arrange them. Its neat to see all the things together in one place. good luck:goodvibes

Ok after some other brides to be were talking about inspiration boards, I decided to try and create one. I took alot of the pictures I had collected and some things I want and made a collage just in word to see what it would look like. each picture I used is something I want to include for our VR
Now , I am recreating this on an actual inspiration board site to see what it will look like. Thanks for reading more to come....:goodvibes

[ClemsonGirl]

I love the inspiration board Tammy!! :lovestruc You have a lot of great ideas!! :thumbsup2 I have been wanting to create something like that myself... Do you know what site are you going to use?
