[puente0629]

Exactly, Debbie is the only one who got my vision. Yes, her prices are amazing. She's so understand; plus her ideas...Sheesh, I could go on about her. I'll post pics Yes, I am; I love that hotel. It's so modern and their prices are amazing.

Before the whole move we had from Florida to Chicago we were actually going to have our wedding at the Buena Vista Palace, I love that hotel. We were going to have it at the 20seven room which has amazing views and you can see the Epcot fireworks from there, is that where you guys are having it? Yes, definitely understood my vision and even added some details I didn't even think about.

So, i booked our Disney World Honeymoon...We will be staying from Jan. 8 - Jan. 13 at Bay Lake Tower in a one bedroom villa-lake view and then we move to a studio-standard view from Jan. 13 - Jan. 17...

I'm hoping to book our second part to our Honeymoon which is to Paris soon, once Disneyland Paris releases Jan. prices. We are thinking of doing 3 days in Disneyland and then 5-6 days in Paris.


I received 2 more hairpieces that I had made...

Feather Hairpiece

Flower Hairpiece

I also bought new reception shoes, the other flats I bought were hurting my feet

I just got my guestbook...

Nope, I like that room but because I'm estimating around 75-100ppl to show up, Angela (@BVP) and Susan Southerland (Just Marry) suggest one of the ball rooms (Grand Ball Room). The 20seven room at nite would have been amazing for the fireworks; maybe I'll sneak up there for pics. with my photographer.

Edit: OH BTW love love the hair piece

Hi Annie!

I'm not sure if I have ever posted on your PJ, but I have been following some of your recent updates and everything sounds like its really coming together! Your plans are looking really great!

I can't wait to see photos of your big day!! I'll be following along!

Your latest additions including your hair pieces and guest book are what inspired me make sure to comment. They all look fabulous! You did a great job with them all!

Did you design the damask/flourish print on the guest book yourself too or is that a template that was offered? Either way, I love it!! I've seen a few folks post guest books like these which include the little places for guests to answer questions and I think they are great!

Thanks for sharing your PJ! Can't wait to read more!

I love all of your recent purchases! Everything has such a pretty, feminine look to it, which is beautiful. I also like how you have incorporated both Paris, and Disney elements. Your wedding is going to be beautiful!

Love the guestbook. Did you design it yourself?

I made it at www.mixbook.com, I used their templates and just customized the way I wanted to look...I added all the spaces for our guests to sign (i.e. draw a pic of the bride and groom, advice for the not-so-newlyweds, etc)

Thanks so much!
The damask print is actually a template they have on www.mixbook.com which is where I customized my guestbook

I just received my LOA and I screamed, lol, I'm so excited because this really makes my dream wedding reality!!!! Not that the dress, guestbook, accessories, etc. didn't, lol. It just now Disney knows it!!!

I'm revising a couple things, like adding more rooms to our room block, changing our deluxe resort from Contemporary to Bay Lake Tower, changing our complimentary night, etc. I'm probably driving Bill crazy...

Can't wait for hubby to come home and sign the contract...

 

[girli565]

Very exciting!!

 

[BecBennett]

Oooh yay!! So does this mean I should get mine in 2 months??

 

[Disney9.9.10]

Yay for getting your LOA!! It definitely makes it feel more real now. Congrats!

 

[puente0629]

Hi,

So, I just spoke to Bill's assistant John and he has informed me that they received all of our paperwork (contract, credit card authorization form and the save the date approval form). It takes 7-10 business days to process and when it's done they send out the Save the Date's. I made a couple of adjustments...our complimentary night I switched it from Jan. 11 to Jan. 18 at the Contemporary Resort and added more days to our room block. I am so freaking excited!!!

1 month and 19 days to go for our Planning Session!!!​

7 months and 30 days for our Fairytale Wedding!!​

 

[sambycat]

gratuitous WOOT!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

Yay!! I am so excited for you too! I will keep watch for your updates from your planning session!

Hello,

Today I received my aisle runner samples, I chose 3...Perfection Pink, Whisper Ivory and Bed of White Roses. I do not know which one to order, my hubby likes the bed of white rose, he thinks it would look really nice with the petals on either side but I'm leaning towards more the Whisper Ivory and Perfection Pink (more towards Whisper Ivory). The one I really want is the 3D petal aisle runner but for 75ft it's $975 and it's definitely not worth it for a 30min ceremony. The regular aisle runners are at a really good price compared to Disney's bland aisle runner, 75ft $185. The aisle runner comes with the non-slip backing which requires no taping, it's machine washable and tear/puncture proof.

Any advice on which to choose?

Bed of White Roses

Whisper Ivory

Perfection Pink

I also got pictures of the Save the Date design from Disney...they should be sending these out by the end of May...

Hey,

So here's another update...we booked our videographer. At first we didn't want one because we thought we would never watch it but we started thinking, if we are going to dish out all of this money and not be able to go back and see it, then what's the point. Plus, we unfortunately do not trust my sisters husband with camera equipment, who was going to return the favor and video tape our wedding as my hubby video taped theirs but decided our wedding is worth getting a good videographer. Well anyways, after extensive research looking for a videographer that has the right price and movie looking videos...we ended up choosing Visions Media. They were nice enough to honor their old price which was $949 for 6hrs, one videographer, 3 DVDs, microphones, movie trailer, etc. Compared to everything we saw they had the best videos for the best price.

So, I approved our gift boxes and water bottles, which I think look really nice. Had it custom made by a seller on www.etsy.com. Should be receiving them by the end of this month, I know it's soon but I want to start collecting all the little nick nacks little by little.

I also found a seller on etsy that will be doing our wine ceremony trunk, she makes custom painted trunks, that look amazing. I sent her some ideas of french toile for inspiration, hopefully it turns out good.

That's it for now, stay tuned...

 

[tinkerbell 766]

Would you be kind enough to post the name of the Etsy seller who made your gift boxes? Thanks
