Amanda & Eric 03/03/10- WP/WHP/Sago Cay Centerpiece Ideas!

[Jazzylolo]

Girls, look what I found!! It matches those earrings!!!

Ok...if I was going to pick which location I think you should go with I would pick the Napa Room. Does that help? It may change once I see the places though...the idea of a Dessert Party still sounds fun to me but watching the Fireworks from the Napa Room is a good trade off too.

I LOVE that hair piece! Definitely my favorite so far.

Hi Mandy
I wanted to throw out the option of Yacht Club Gazebo for your ceremony. I think that it's beautiful and it's a little more off the beaten path of SBP. So that might be an option.
Also, about carnations. Laura Kidd suggested that I use carnations for the flower balls I used for my bridesmaids. I completely flipped out and I did not need to at all. They looked amazing and you couldnt tell that they were carnations they looked so good. I don't have my pics back but once I do I'll post them for you.
As far as reception places, have you thought of Ariels? I'm not sure if that's being used anymore though...

Lol thanks! I need you to help me be decisive!! I agree that fireworks from the Napa room sounds great!

Oh I would love to see pics! I really liked the pic I posted with carnations and roses.

I have seen Yacht Club Gazebo and while it's not my favorite, I amgoing to show it to Df when we head down. Thanks for the suggestions.

Fine, fine....SBP and Napa Room. Done!

This is going to sound rude and it's not meant to be but there is a reason carnations aren't used much as a wedding flower... but to each their own.

 

[KristinBelle]

I actually love carnations, they're one of my favorite flowers. I think they're so pretty.

Lol I guess everyone has their own opinion. I am still not decided. I thought they had a kind of vintagy feel to them. I am open to amost anything at this point. I just love the deep purple color!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

what about violets as your dark purple color? They are a natural deep purple and very vintage.
Pansies are too and should be around in early March

 

[figment fan21]

Nope...never was going with pastels. Had yellow in there in the beginning, but was still using the bright pink and green Not a pastel kinda girl!


Girls, look what I found!! It matches those earrings!!!

OMG I LOVE THAT!!!! That'll look great with your earrings!!

 

[Ann117]

I am a little behind reading your PJ. First of all I love your suit ideas for the groom. My DF is not going to wear a tux either i am going to have to show him those pictures. I am going with the Napa room for my reception. I just love the idea of being able to see the fire works and being able to see the castle the whole time. There is no way I can afford a castle wedding so its the next best thing. But I love all your ideas!!! I will be reading more.

 

[DisneyFairy19]

Wow I LOVE everything you have picked.. its all so beautiful

 

[Lindsay22]

I don't have Randy's pics back yet so this is the best shot I have of my BM flower balls.
It is a flower ball of carnations and Laura put some gerbera daisies on top of them. They had these great crystal jewel garlands as handles and then some coming out of the bottom as well.
Carnations do not have to look bad. I thought mine rocked. (Oh and the price dropped $40 a piece when we went from roses to carnations)

I hear on the bright stuff girl! I say rock the bright colors! It will look awesome wherever you end up! Oh and that hairpiece is amazing! You could even try and use it to attach to a dress or shawl afterwards too!

Fine, fine....SBP and Napa Room. Done!

hahaha I need a friend like lauren to make decisions like that for me! I like those 2 pics btw, I think and bright colors will rock in eithier!

 

[Caribbeanprincess]

A little OT, but Mandy, do you have the link to the wedding stuff collage site? A friend of mine is planning a wedding and needs something like that.

 

[Carys]

I love this hairclip!!! After the wedding you could even dye it and use it again on other formal occasions, I think it'd look great dyed to black too

 

[Pirate's Princess]

Why not? I searched for carnation wedding flower and all the sites say it's no wonder carnations are popular wedding flowers? (I'm trying to be rude, I'm just a very curious person )

I love that hairpiece!! Where'd you find it???

Oh I haven't thought of vioets. I will have to look for pics! Thanks

Thanks! I do too...I think I need to buy that and those earring soon!

The hairpiece was on etsy!!!


I have been MIA for the last few days. For Valentines I got Eric tickets to see a Yankee's game. We went with his best friend and his wife. We had a blast and I am exhausted. We get the keys for our new apartment tonight and start moving!! WHOOHHOOOO!! I won't be around much this weekend.

Here are some pics from our trip!

This is the 4 of us...Eric's Best Man and his wife. If anyone watched it, the Yankee's got their butts kicked...but it was an AWESOME game!

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

I grow African violets, so I think they are a pretty flower

Here are some of mine:

Have you gotten any kind of response from people about coming to Disney? I was thinking (after reading another PJ) that maybe you should send out a pre-STD on your own..to let people start planning for next March. It isn't THAT far away and it is close to spring break time...Just might give you an idea of how many people will actually be able to attend and you will have a good number when you have your site visits.

 

[bjgrazi]

It's always an awesome game when the yankee's get their butt kicked.

 

[tiggersam00]

well as a Red Sox fan I am pretty happy about last nights game lol! Glad you had fun though! My Red Sox Guys never disappoint lol! JK, I still like you Mandy, even though you root for "those other guys"
