Nice job on the food budget. It looks very realistic to me Scary but realistic. Have you thought about having some stuff delivered from Garden Grocery? We were very happy with them.
TONS OF WEDDING DETAILS
Some of our final vendors to book were transportation and hair and makeup. I knew from the beginning that I didn't want a limo - I really wanted something different from the norm. Plus, as you've probably guessed by now, the "look" and "theme" of the wedding are very important to me. I'm going for a kind of old, sophistocated southern glamour and I felt that a limo would look a little out of place. So, I began researching vintage cars and came across this beauty:
It's a vintage 56 Bentley and I knew that it would be perfect! My dad called and booked it today, so this will officially be our wedding day transportation. I can't wait to ride in it and take pictures next to it!
I also felt pretty strongly about hair and makeup. I tend to get stressed out easily, and I want to try to keep the wedding day as calm and worry-free as possible (if that's possible). We will all be staying at a hotel after our rehearsal dinner on Friday night, and I was really hoping I could find someone to come to the hotel on Saturday so that we didn't have to worry about leaving the hotel to get to an appointment/appointments on time. Luckily, I was able to find a company that specializes in on-site hair and makeup. They are rated very highly and I think their prices are very reasonable. They will be coming to our hotel the day of and will be doing hair and makeup for myself, my two bridesmaids and my mother (both of my grandmothers opted out).
I've been scouring the internet for some pictures of what I want my hair to look like, and I came across two that I love. It's exactly the look I want to achieve! I found them a couple of weeks apart and later came to realize it's the same girl in both pictures. Clearly this is the style I like!

I love the car! That is very romantic and classic! But the hair.....OMG I love this hair style! It is so beautiful! With the dress.....yeah, I see jaws dropping and tears flowing and Migual with a big smile on his face (along with the dropped jaw and the tears!!)
That food budget looks amazing! When I did mine for the last two trips to WDW, I usually wrote it on NB paper about 5 times before I typed it into the computer and even then, it was NOTHING like yours! $1500 food budget isn't that shocking for such a long trip filled with so many delicious meals!
Wow, great job on the food budget! I really have to sit down and calculate all of that this year, since we will be doing the DDP, but paying OOP for a few meals!
That's strange that they moved your TR to the completed section! Did they move it back yet?
I seem to be losing readers on my TR too, I almost don't want to bother finishing it! My last update only got 2 replies! I hate the thought of not finishing it, though!
quick question Courtney.. what is 'WPE' (rather than your Teppan Edo ADR)? I am trying so hard to think of all the restaurants it could be!
I have done just the same thing with our dining.. used All Ears to get an idea of appetiser/entree/drink prices - plus tax & gratuity less TiW Discount.. we're spending about the same amount as you guys!

Well haven't you been a busy bee. I fell a little backwards on your updates, but I am all caught up now. I love the old Bently...it says 50's chic. I really like the hair style that you choose too! I like that it is low key and elegant. I like to look at the bride and not be overwhelmed by dress, make-up, hair, ect. I think this is going to look great on you!! We had to incorporate something small that was Disney into our wedding and my mother in law was in charge of the cake. It was a small wedding..only about 50 people came to the wedding and 30 to the reception which we had at the Hyatt Riverfront in Jacksonville. When I get home tonight I will post a picture of our cake, which I think you'll like!
I also forgot to mention that we are going tot he world for 4 days in March for the Flower and Garden Festival. If you have not been, I highly recommend it.
Joining in now - better late than never! I actually just read all of your updates between last night and this morning, so I am up to speed. I love all of your wedding details (that custom dress hanger is TDF!), and have to say thanks for sharing your must-eat food choices, I have added a few things to our list of things we want to try when we head to WDW in May! Congrats on your engagement!
Thanks so much for joining in - I hope you'll stick around! How exciting you have a trip coming up in May! Are you going to do a PTR or TR when you get back? I'm always looking for new reports to follow along with!
I still haven't gotten a response about my TR! Maybe I need to try PMing another mod? I know how you feel - it's sad not having many readers! But I don't want to leave it un-done either, you know? I guess if I can't get it moved back I'll just do a quick overview of the last two days here so at least there's some sense of completion.
