Oh I am sure he will like it just fine. In fact, I would imagine most guys on their wedding days are more concerned about what is underneath the dress!

Funny story... I stopped in Victorias Secret to buy some new underwear. I have one style I love to wear and couldn't find it anywhere. All of a sudden I opened a drawer and it was FULL...my style and size!!! On top of that, they had a pair in ivory with the word bride in blue!! Eric knows about them though so I'll have to find something fun for later!

Actually, random story I just thought of:

My roommate over the summer told me that her mom, on her wedding day, mentioned her lack of, uhm, undergarments to the groom right before walking down the aisle! Her mom said he was drooling all night!

You hit a panty goldmine!

If they weren't $10 a pair I would have bought them all!!

Time for me to play catch up!!

I dont think a disney bride is ever stress free, at least, not for long There's always something new to worry about and then after the big day we just laugh at ourselves about how crazy we got But try and chill as much as you can - will do you good Awww bless, you and your df sound like a perfect match Pack lots of tissues I'm sure your actual day will be totally stressfree, its everything leading up to then that will possibly leave you screaming & pulling your hair out It's definately all worth it in the end though Your dress is lovely by the way

I think the part I bolded above should be replaced with "any bride." LOL.

He refuses to do a first look. I really want to see him first and do pictures but he is insisting that we wait until the ceremony actually starts. I get it...I know he wants to be traditional I just wish he would agree with me lol

I was so happy we did most of our pictures before the ceremony. The night before the wedding I stayed at a hotel (the same one as all of my relatives) and my DH stayed at our apartment (where were lived at the time.) We didn't see each other until right before pictures started. I was in the "brides room" by myself and they sent my DH in to see me, alone, before photos started. It was lovely.

Yea it kinda sucks doesn't it?? Lol oh well...on to searching for a venue!!



That's what I thought...it's one of the only reason we got a videographer. She will have to settle for watching it when we get home. I am not being harsh but even his parents said, she is almost 95 years old...she may not be here when we get married



Thanks Sam! I will definitely go check it out. I checked a local party house...not MY first choice but they offer a brunch menu for only $15 per person!! Good enough for me!!


Lol it's not that I don't want to wear my dress again...just not walking around his parents house in with no one there

I also see the appeal of waiting till we walk down the aisle but I just thought we have so much time with Randy.

Speaking of Randy, I just got an email back from him saying that even though we will only have him till 6:30ish he thinks 6 hours will work just fine and during our e-shoot next month he will go over it a bit more for us

On a side note...my sinus infection is back. I went to the RUDEST dr. today and got more antibiotics...which I have been told to finish this time. I have been out of work for 2 days and will have to go back tomorrow

Why was the doctor so rude? I've had a few rude doctors before and it sucks.

In order for Eric's Grandma to see your dress, maybe she can go to your final fitting or something and then to lunch afterwards?

Thanks!! I can't wait either

So I have been trying to figure out what to wear for our e-pics. I had purchased a cute denim skirt last week and was going to find a bright colored top for it. Until my mom got this for me!

I am thinking of getting one of these to wear with it. I also have a cute pair of wedge sandles that are like cork colored bottoms with teal straps.

Love the dress. Love the necklaces (the first is my favorite though.)

Morning girls! We had dinner with my brother last night and it was so nice to have him home!! He had been traveling for like 3 days straight so we didn't spend too much time together but I am headed to my parents today too!

I ended up buying the 3rd necklace. I think I actually liked the first one best BUT I need to be practical. The third necklace I think I can wear with more stuff than just that dress (like to work) Plus it was only $12!!!

I am thinking of buying a cute red bracelet to go with it though

I also bougth one of these:

Obviously mine says Mrs. M (insert our new last name). Etsy seller was lilafrances. I love it! It's not something to hand up all the time but it's perfect for my dress the day of the wedding. AND it's only $13!!!

We've got just about a month till our Planning Session and E-Pics so we are going to kick it up in the Get Healthy department. More working out and eating better. I have lost about 5 lbs since I started trying to eat better but being sick last week TOTALLY threw me off.

I also finished the first draft of our ceremony but not sure if I am going to post it yet. Have a good weekend girls!!

Will you still be able to see the name on the hanger even with your dress on it? I hope so.

Hopefully you don't lose TOO MUCH weight. Otherwise your dress won't fit! LOL.

I think your original dress is gorgeous..

I promise you, Eric won't care what style dress you wear. DH wouldn't have cared if I walked down wearing a paper sack, only that I was there! In fact, I am pretty sure he didn't notice the dress until we were walking around deck taking pictures.

I don't think my DH was too picky about what style dress I was in. I do know that he would have been a little sad if I'd chosen an non-white dress though. Luckily, I chose white and he did like my dress. Afterwards I showed him photos of me in other dresses I tried on. He said I made the right choice.

I will say that I went dress shopping many, many times. I fell in love with my dress pretty quickly. But I still ended up going back and trying on other dresses on many occasions before making my final decision/purchase. Even though I went a ton of times, I still wish I'd gone a few more since I'll never do it again.

That sounds lovely!! He is sticking to his guns though!

I think she was just irritated in general that I was back and still sick. Doesn't matter, I wont' be going there anymore!

In order for Eric's Grandma to see your dress, maybe she can go to your final fitting or something and then to lunch afterwards?

Oh that's an idea! She lives kind of far from me and the bridal shop though. Something to think about!

Will you still be able to see the name on the hanger even with your dress on it? I hope so.

I thought about that too! I haven't checked yet. I still think it's a cute little hanger for something!

Hopefully you don't lose TOO MUCH weight. Otherwise your dress won't fit! LOL.

Lol I don't seem to be running into that problem! But hopefully I do...that's what final fittings are for!!

Lol I would go dress shopping every weekend if I could!! Df wouldn't have been happy either if I got a dress that wasn't white (or ivory). I can't wait to show it to him!!

I'm starting to gather pictures to bring to my planning session...I will post some if I have time.

you could hang your wedding night lingerie from the hanger and take pictures..like those victoria secret nightgowns that are in the bridal section..that would be pretty from the hanger

I have had bad luck with female doctors for some reason. I have no idea why but that's just the way it's been. Weird.

Maybe you should take the dress to her house and put it on for her just with you, her, and your FMIL. Then have lunch or something. That way you can avoid a big party. Maybe even do it before the wedding. And then if she's interested you can share some of your wedding plans. Even if she can't go, maybe she'd want to be a part of the planning in a small way. I don't know. Just throwing out ideas. Lol.

That is definitely a cute idea!

 

[figment fan21]

Oh I have dress envy all the time!!! lol I think we all do at one point or another! I worried that DF won't like my gown too but no matter what i'm in i know he'll think i'm beautiful on that day.... and he'll be more excited about whats underneath too! hahaha

I think the hanger could do both the dress and the lingerie! really cute idea betsy!

 

[MainStMandy]

Oh I like that idea of hanging the lingerie on the hanger!!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Oh I like that idea of hanging the lingerie on the hanger!!

I think that is a great idea....you will be able to see the hanger better that way than if the wedding dress was on it!

 

[MainStMandy]

Ohhh one more thing to shop for

 

[LoveDisney!!!]

I like the lingerie idea!

Didn't you find another dress right after you bought the one you have? While "dress envy" may be common, maybe you really want a different dress???

Have you thought of having two dresses? You could get a new one for the ceremony (especially since I think you mentioned you were worried about your dress fitting in with the WP) and then wear the other for the reception. Heck, I saw someone on Say Yes to the Dress get THREE dresses for her WDW wedding.

I don't think two dresses is really necessary. You can just put that money else where in your wedding/honeymoon. I think her dress is perfect and flattering, especially with her Hollywood glam accessories. As for fitting the venue, I don't think the Wedding Pavilion asserts any particular theme, if you will. It is a classic venue which is pretty much a clean slate. I have seen pictures of it bedecked with fantasy-type florals and other photos with a very modern, streamlined feel. Really, any dress/style will fit. The issue I find with the Wedding Pavilion is bridesmaid dresses clashing with the oh-so-icky carpeting they have there!

Pictures with the lingerie on the hanger would be beautiful, if the dress is too heavy, or you can do both Fredrick's of Hollywood has some good deals online right now BTW, I haven't been in store yet though.

OK I'm a few days behind...working seems to get in the way
Dress envy-Yup. I get it all the time...but my mom had tears in her eyes when I tried my gown on-just like her mom did. So, that dress is mine..Now tiara or no tiara...that's another story
I love the hanger...just one suggestion...I wouldn't take it on the plane with you...it's wire...it's twisted...it would probably throw up a red flag and require a search...just a thought.

 

[PeytonSdiz]

What does the carpet look like at the WP? Photo please?
