    ExCPKate's planning journal (UPDATED!)

    Hi Jasonandlisa, Firstly, Maxine is wonderful and I hope you have as great of an experience with her as we have! The invitations are from Carlson Craft, but I can't seem to find an item # for them. We ordered them through a local wedding shop where we live. Most bridal shops carry Carlson...

    Randy Chapman Engagement Photoshoot

    We just had our engagement pics taken in March at Port Orleans Riverside. Ours were taken for free because it was included with our wedding package. I think his normal fee for engagement pics is $275, not including any pictures. You will have to purchase them separately, however he will send...

    Cold feet before your WDW wedding?

    I have to admit that the couple of days after my planning session I was completely freaking out. Not because I thought I didn't love him or want to marry him, but because it was all so overwhelming! Disney asks a lot of you as a bride to plan your whole wedding in 4-5 hours and it kind of...

    Kirstie Kelly for Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings- THE DISNEY WEDDING GOWNS!!!!

    You're welcome Maggie! And about the dresses, I really like some of them. One of the sleeping beauty dresses looks very similiar to mine from the front! So that makes me really happy! I like the dresses because they are so elegant and don't look like every other dress I've ever seen. I...

    Kirstie Kelly for Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings- THE DISNEY WEDDING GOWNS!!!!

    I know I'm not Jen, but my mom is a lactation consultant (fancy phrase for helping new moms with breastfeeding issues at the hospital). The benefits of breastfeeding are resistance against any infection the mother is exposed to and could give to the infant and when the baby get immunized...

    What happened to Debbie?

    I just noticed on Beaute Speciale's website that Debbie, one of the stylists, is no longer listed. Only Ana Rivera is listed. Does anyone know what happened or if the two parted ways? I'm supposed to have my trial run with them next Wednesday, I hope nothing weird is going on!

    ExCPKate's planning journal (UPDATED!)

    I am so excited that our planning session is in 3 days!! We arranged to have a menu tasting with a chef at the Boardwalk. My WP also finally got selected, and she is Maxine Pollakis. We never got our AP vouchers so I slyly called to ask if there were any park ticket discounts for us. Her...

    OT: Anyone live in or near Orlando

    That is so funny what you said about OBT. When I was down there for my college program, I was looking for a Kinko's in the evening that was listed on OBT. We start driving further and further away from the mall, and started to see people standing on the corner in either trenchcoats or thigh...

    Pics from the Magic Kingdom Wedding today

    I hate to be the odd one out on this....but I wasn't too impressed when I looked at the pictures. My DF and I entered that contest and I can safely say now that I am happy we did not win. I guess when I imagined it, I figured it would be at night after the park closed; something a little...

    Tipping outside vendors

    I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure for people who own their own businesses, like Randy, you do not need to tip. They are already receiving 100% of your payment. People who work hourly for other people should be tipped, and I would assume it would be like any other service. 15% is standard...

    Primping & other girly things

    Jen, One idea for the tan is to use a body lotion that has an incredibly low amount of color. The one I really like is L'Oreal Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer + Natural Skin Tone Enhancer. I'm looking at the bottle, and it says it is designed to "add a touch of color to even out and enhance...

    Planning & Tasting Session a few short days away -- Friday 2/23.07!!

    How exciting! Mine is in less than two weeks:) How did you arrange the tasting? My planner hasn't mentioned anything about it, only the cake tasting. I was really looking forward to tasting stuff from the menu. Do I need to ask for it?

    cleaning engagement ring

    I had been wondering how to clean mine too! I never take it off because I'm scared I would lose it, so it's already kind of grimy. Although I have had a couple strangers come into my work, and tell me how sparkly it is. I love that! :cloud9:

    Intimate WC as Custom Planner??

    Thanks everyone for your advice!:grouphug: Maxine did call me today, but I missed her call and wasn't able to get ahold of her. She said to call her and we'll talk about what to expect for the next few months. She sounds really nice and I am looking forward to calling tomorrow. I know all...

    Intimate WC as Custom Planner??

    Hi everyone! I am really confused on something. It took me forever to get my planning kit in my wishbook(I just got it last night), and I was supposed to get it 2 weeks ago. I haven't gotten an offical announcement yet of who my Wedding Planner is, but on my wishbook it say Maxine Pollakis...

    Breaking news - new types of Disney weddings?

    did anyone watch the David Tutera couture video on the website? It gave me chills...and not in a good way! I found it totally weird and un-disneylike. Watching the video did not make me want to run for my wallet!:rotfl2: I'll take my custom that I'm planning on the cheap any day!!:banana:

    Question about Randy Chapman suggestion?

    I don't know if they would allow you to do that, although what the CG doesn't know can't hurt them;) Fireworks from the Observation deck are absolutely beautiful, and I think almost more breathtaking than in the park. That's a great idea!pixiedust:
