Adam and Katie's wedding PJ -10/2/2010 SBP/SCP need floral advice!!

[LLLBelle]

The cruise sounds wonderful, I have never been on one either. DH and I are thinking of going on one for our 1 year anni. I don't remember if it stops in St. Croix, but it's pretty neat island, we did a full day snorkel trip to Buck Island that was amazing.

 

[Chilly]

Oh yay!!! I'm so glad you'll be stalking me!!! I'll have to tell DF that we'll have papparazzi at the wedding

I'll post the picture of the bouquet when i get home i keep forgetting to do that... if you can get on facebook check it out.. its under my wedding stuff album and i think its the last picture in the album.

Our photographer is Mr. Randy Chapman! After seeing your pictures i am sooo glad i have him... your pics are amazing!

I'm glad your mum liked St. Maarten. I dont know alot of people who've been there, thanks for letting me know your mum liked it! DCL looks amazing! i keep sitting on their website checking out the ship and watching videos hehehe! Have you been on the magic?

Just checked out the flowers - love them!

I thought it was Randy, it'll be great to say hi to him again.

I did the wonder not the magic but they are very similar. The food is fab. Palo is to die for, book in there as much as you can.

Hiya my sweet Katie! Sorry I've missed so much as of late, but all your choices are looking beautiful, of course! I expect nothing less of you.

As far as BM flowers go, I have my own preference, but who cares about that? It's all about YOU darling! The only opinion that truly counts in this is yours and Adam's. Eff all elses! If you like the flowery ball thingies the best for your girls, then go with it! It's better not to have any regrets or what-ifs when it comes to the big day I think. Besides, whatever you pick will be fabulous!

P.S. The at home reception area is just so cozy and nice looking!

Hey Ladies!!!!

It has been a while since i've last posted and i have a TON of updates. I'm in work now but when i get home i promise to post pics but here are my updates..


First i got my date and signed my LOA!!!! WOOHOO!!! it is not official i am 100% a disney bride.

I also went for my second dress fitting and found my BM dresses for my sisters!

I booked something for the wedding that i am super excited about... i dont want to tell you what it is without posting a picture of it but a little hint to keep you guessing until later.... it has to do with my transportation to and from the ceremony.

I am still waiting to get assigned a planner but it'll be two weeks since i sent in my LOA with the deposit tomorrow so you know i'll be emailing my consultant like a crazy lady if i dont hear anything soon!

Those are the major updates. But i have a question for you ladies.... Where I am an escape bride there was something new i noticed on the disney weddings website and here on the DIS. If escape brides want to have any private events they need to spend atleast 7500$. I asked my consultant if that applied to me and she said because it was a new change that it didn't effect me and that since it wasn't in the LOA i signed i was all set. But i am still alittle worried about this where i know some of you other escape brides that are getting married in 2010 are having issues with this. I was trying to keep everything under 6500$ since we are spending other money on Randy, Rev Jack, BS for hair and makeup, ect. Anyone else have any information on this new change?

 

[Chilly]

I can't believe you still don't have a planner.

 

[figment fan21]

me either!!!

how long did it take you to get yours claire?

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

Yay, your back! I got my planner in less than a week, it probably just depends how busy they are right now.

The new minimum thing is crazy, but from my experience, if you are firm on something, Disney will cooperate. Since you didn't know going into this that this would happen, they should understand. However, I do want to warn you, from my experience, that prices add up FAST, so don't be surprised if you end up spending that much.

 

[figment fan21]

oh i'm sure it will add up alot lol. We are trying not to have little decorations at the DP because honestly who sees it anyway, and as far as SBP we are just doing some rose petals down the aisle and possibly petal cones on the chairs for the staged exit.... other than that i think SBP is beautiful just the way it is

I think i might email my consultant this afternoon if i dont hear anything. I'm sure they're busy though... it seems like jan-march is a pretty busy time for weddings. I'm just itching to start planning stuff! hehehe

 

[figment fan21]

p.s. congrats on the canadian hockey win!!!

We dropped our decor at our DP as well...it was about $100, and ya, that isn't a lot, but that money can be put towards something else.

I would email your consultant, just give them a little nudge that you are ready to go!

p.s. congrats on the canadian hockey win!!!

Thanks! I think all of Canada is hungover today It also means I have to get a tattoo ( I have wanted a maple leaf for awhile, and I said if they win hockey, I would get one)

 

[weedee]

congrats on becoming an official Disney bride!!!! It took me over a week, maybe 2 to get my planner...I'm sure you will get "the call" soon.

If the minimum isn't in your LOA, it shouldn't affect you at all. You're so lucky to have signed it before the new rule was put into place!! It's really outrageous.

Yea, i emailed her back on Tuesday of last week and she said probably in the next couple days. I think this constitutes as longer than a couple days.. man i'm impatient! Yea any little bit helps so the least amount of decor the better... i mean really who notices that anyway

hahaha i think alot of the united states is hungover too! very cool you're getting a maple leaf tattoo! you'll have to share pics when you get it!

I'm sure i'll be hearing soon... do you get a phone call or an email??

I hope you're right about the minimum... i dont think its fair and i feel bad for those brides who are dealing with it. If anything they should start it with the new brides who are inquiring about disney weddings. not ones who have already started the planning process and been in touch with consultants.

 

[Chilly]

me either!!!

Actually mine took nearly a month, i've just looked back at my e-mails, 30th April was my 8 month mark and Kathleen first e-mailed me on the 27th May.

 

[weedee]

Kathleen actually called me to apologize for the wait (we were told by Diane that we should receive a call within a week, it took over a week) and to set up a time to talk more in depth. After the initial phone convos, we've just been emailing back and forth.

hmmm... i faxed in my LOA and depsoit 2 weeks ago so i'm hoping i'll get phone call or email within the next few days....

 

[figment fan21]

So as promised i have some pics to go along with my recent update...

Here are the bridemaids dresses. One of my sisters was giving me a hard time (and still is) but whatever... atleast my youngest sister was happy!
This isn't the color but this is the dress... it will be in navy blue (marine in DB lingo) with an ivory sash

Can you tell which sister was having the most fun that day?!


Here are some pics from my dress fitting... i wasn't thrilled about this fitting because my veil was suposed to be dyed to match the color of my dress and the women "forgot", and they were half an hour behind and i was rushed in and out to get her back on track.... ugh

I have to tell ya ladies that these pics REALLY made me want to get back on the diet and exercise kick... ugh BACK FAT! So yea did 30 mins of cardio today and counted all my caloires!

And last but not least.... my favorite update is this......

I still do a happy dance everytime i see this baby!!! hehehe I LOVE it and i know i splurged alittle but when i emailed the rental company i got a pretty decent deal on it and HAD to have it! DF LOVES it and he knew i wanted a rolls royce for the wedding and seeing the pink one sealed the deal. I just faxed back to contract to have her for three hours the day of the wedding!

 

[pezaddict231]

I love the BM dresses! I think they will look great in the right colors and maybe your other sister will come around. I think the dress looks great on both of them.

That stinks that she didn't dye your veil this time, but at least you noticed that now. Your dress looks beautiful on you!

Love the rolls and the color!

 

[figment fan21]

thanks hun!

I hope my other sister comes around... shes killing my wedding happiness vibe lately!

I can't wait to ride around in that rolls! everytime i look at it i get giddy! hehehe

 

[pink_tink8i8]

great updates. Love the dress, the BM dresses and the pink rolls. I think you have started a new trend. I think it will become popular
