Ok so things have been hectic and I haven't had a lot of time to sit on my computer and just up date my planning journal so here goes a HUGE update to get thing up to speed to where I am.
First off we had our plannnig session back in Nov. It went really well. We sat with the chef and got to try everything from lobster to the sorbe and slipper course! I loved it!

The next thing to arrive was the BUDGET!!!
Wow did we go over board on floral things! We ended up cutting a bunch of things out like candelabbras, and extra linens, and charger plates ect... we tried not to cut anything the guests would miss. So things like the awesome food, drinks, dessert party, the motor coaches we left in.
Although we did drop the dessert party menue down to the old world minitures but we are thinking of adding the fondue to it. We also added a few items to cocktail hour and Major Domo because our planner had forgoten to include him.
But we left in some really cool things like the flower wands I got for my bridesmaids: they will have 6 pink roses and crystals
More to come!
So I don't think I mentioned But while in NY we got our APs and final signed contract back. We also got a nice thank you from out coordinator and two super cute lugage tags that say Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings on them. Totally going to use them for the Honeymoon!
That was it all other choices went out the window!
