Alyssa and Nick's Wishes Wedding: 2011/2012 *UPADTE 10/3/10: DEBATING THEME*

[goofyfordisney16]

Hi everyone!

So, I just got engaged a couple of days ago to my boyfriend Nick

And right after he proposed, I IMMEDIATLEY said to him that we were going to have our wedding in Walt Disney World.

AND HE AGREED!

I'm going to need help with basically everything else during this wedding planning process, so if you have any ideas, let me know!

Thanks!

just thought I didn't need this post because we're still up in the air about a reception location-sorry everyone!

 

[goofyfordisney16]

So, I've been having some doubts on where I picked the reception to be. I picked Disney's Rock 'n' Rollercoaster Starring Aerosmith Courtyard originally, BUT, after looking at the Terrace de Fleurs, Italy Isola, and the Eau De France, I'm considering changing my location.
What do you guys think? Should I change it?


ALSO!!!
Nick and I have settled on the date of our wedding, but we're still not sure of the year, considering the fact that Nick is currently in flight school. We want our day to be sometime in May.


PS- IF ANYONE HAS NOTICED, I'M VERY NEW AT THIS PLANNING JOURNAL THING AND ALSO NEW TO THE BOARDS (KINDA LOL) BUT ANY HELP ON THE JOURNAL WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Welcome to the boards & congrats!!

I think when choosing locations you should consider, your theme/colors...what style are you trying to achieve? Also, your might consider your budget...Let me know if you need any help?

Thank you!

Well, at the moment I'm up in the air with themes and colors..when I looked at the beach ceremony at the GF online, the colors in the set up were pink and brown. I really like those colors, however, I'm still wondering if I can get them changed to like a pool color and brown. I'm very open to colors and themes at this point until I can get down to WDW and go to the Bridal Studio with Nick.
And of course, the budget. I looked at the prices online and I'm looking to have my wedding during the week, considering it's the lowest price. Nicks family is also willing to split the cost of the wedding.

Oh, and congrats on your engagement and have fun planning as well!

Maybe for a theme, you can use your favorite destination, maybe do a beach theme or even use each others heritage for inspiration.

That's a really good idea- a beach theme!!!! I'm starting to think- "Lilo and Stitch" inspired??? (Stitch is both one of our favorite characters, I have plenty more lol!)

Very cute, you can make it a hawaiian theme and bring in Lilo & Stitch for entertainment. I would find out if you can have the reception somewhere at the Polynesian Resort?


You can go two ways with the colors scheme, muted tones (baby blue, brown, silver and/or gold) or tropical colos (bright pink, orange, green).

Some Ideas
Love this cake...

you should really look into becoming a wedding planner, I LOVE your ideas!!
and yes I think I'm going to look into having it at the Poly, or atleast having the rehersal dinner at the luau show or something.
Thank you very very very much!



I also was searching around yesterday and found these too..

so does anyone know how to make an index page on here???

 

[goofyfordisney16]

so, I decided to go with a hawaiian beach wedding theme. I saw a cute idea online that instead of going to the wedding in a long dress and a tux, the bride and groom can go in a bikini and swim trunks. Now, I would like the colors to be tiffany blue and white, however, I understand that it's not really a hawaiian color. I would also like it if lilo and stitch could possibly make an apperance at our wedding.

Let me know if you have any ideas on colors!

oh and ps- i want my bikini to say either bride, or mrs. ricthman on the butt. let me know if you have any ideas on where i can get it done or any websites!

 

[goofyfordisney16]

so, since i never got to post how we met and the engagement story, i would like to post it now.

How we met: when i was a sophmore in high school and nick was a junior, this girl who didn't get along with me gave nick my number (don't ask why?). a couple of days before new years eve 2005, nick called me. at first i thought, "alright, who's playing a prank joke on me saying their some guy named nick??" then, we stayed on the phone for almost 3 hours that night. he said to verify himself, he would take me out ice skating. so i met him at the ice skating rink and we're going on 5 years this december.

Engagement Story: nick was at my apartment, and he looked really really nervous. so i said to him, "what's wrong?" he said "have something to give you." he explained to me that the actual gift didn't come in yet (in fact i'm still waiting for it, nicks calling today) but this is just a "place holder" until it does. so he just took it out of his pocket, got down on one knee, and proposed!

i'll put pictures up of the "place holder" later, and of course, the actual ring (when i get it)

As for the hawaiiain colors I'd say like a fuschia or a nice pink, orange, and certain shades of blue, maybe like ocean blue would look really pretty! As for websites..this is one that you might find your bikini http://www.advantagebridal.com/ and here's another one... http://www.exclusivelyweddings.com/...ries/Bridal-Accessories/Honeymoon-Accessories

HTH

thank you very much! i really really like the ocean blue color.

So, as of right now, we changed the place. We changed it to SBP. I am NOT happy with this change. However, it's not set and stone and still changeable. Hooray!

As for the date, we're still not sure because of flight school. Nick claims we can do it end of 2011/beggining 2012, but he's still not sure.


Oh, and I forgot to mention it's a Wishes wedding.

 

[goofyfordisney16]

WE HAVE PICKED A LOCATION!

YAAAHHHHOOOOO

Ceremony:Yatch and Beach Club Beach
Reception:American Adventure Rotunda/UK Dessert Party\
Now I know the reception location doesn't seem like it will fit the theme, HOWEVER, we want to try and make it work because we love AAR so much.

And here are some of my dress ideas..I would like me dress to be short:

 

[DisneyDiva84]

Hello and Congrats!!!!

I love your theme! I would definitely suggest throwing a pink or orange into the scheme to give it that tropical look or a green but I would only use those as the accents


I LOVE AAR! I wanted to have our reception there so badly but it had to be at night and had to be 100 people so i had to back out

Cant wait to read more

And about the colors- everyone has been saying to add some pink and orange, and I think I'm going to take that idea, thanks so much!
