Ashley and Alex- PROFESSIONAL PICS ARE FINALLY UP!

[Disney9.9.10]

I missed a few things somehow! Your favours turned out great! I love the Mickey heads on the boxes The dress is also really pretty, and finding it on a sale rack makes it even better lol I am sorry to hear about the RSVP drama, weddings bring out the worst in people. But it looks like you don't have much left to do, getting close now!

The favors turned out great, I love the Mickey design on the box! Ah the to do list, my advice would be to try to do a little each week, don't be like me and trying to finish up a bunch of DIY stuff a week before the wedding . It'll really be here before you know it!

I'm sorry you're going through all that with the RSVP's. I definitely agree with you. I feel like with a destination wedding especially people pretty much know right away if they're going or not. I don't get why it is so hard to send back an rsvp .

I love the dress! It's so cute and you can definitely wear it again.

Thank you guys! Alex was like, "you are puffy painting the favors???" Men have no view on creativity lol but I really think they turned out fun

I'm going to call my Grandma sometime early this week and try to make her understand the situation that I really actually can't wait until September for them to RSVP hopefully that will work but who knows In addition she has yet to call me back after three (count them) three phone calls. I just dont' understand how you can put off the RSVP because you aren't sure you can go and then suddenly decide you can and plan a trip within a month...we Disney nuts are the only ones allowed to do that lol and they are not Disney nuts

We shall see until then I will just keep working on stuff and hoping that they come to some sort of sense

PRINCESS LUNCH!!​

So being the princess fanatic that I am, I have actually never been to an official Princess Meal. I have actually only been to 1900 Park Fare with Cinderella. When I went to the Castle it was prior to them making it a Princess Dinning experience so needless to say I never really found a reason to fight the reservations much less take an experience away from a little girl or a family.

Anyhoo that's all about to change! My bridesmaids and I + 3 sorority sisters who I recentely invited to the Wedding will be going to the Princess Lunch in Norway on our day at EPCOT!!!! I am so beyond excited because I think we are going to have a blast! Fingers are crossed that Cinderella is in attendance that day. I know they say she's not (that's what they told us as CM's in GR too) because you can't really guaranttee her but that's another story lol

I'd also love to see Ariel simply because I rarely meet her. So my first picks would be Belle, Cindy, Ariel, and Snow fingers are crossed.

It's going to be a great girl's day i cannot wait

 

[DisneyDiva84]

We're getting married two months from today!!!​

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

CONGRATS!!! yay!! I bet you are so excited!! Everything is looking great!!

 

[DisneyDiva84]

CONGRATS!!! yay!! I bet you are so excited!! Everything is looking great!!

Thank you! I really am! Though i'm a little nervous, people seem to be taking a bit of time booking their rooms in our room block. They still have 3 or 4 weeks to do it though so it should be fine.

 

[Disney9.9.10]

It is crazy that October is only 2 months away!! You are getting really close to your date now! We are also doing that princess breakfast and have not eaten there before. I hope that we all enjoy it!

 

[DisneyDiva84]

What a lovely couple! Hearty Congratulations on your engagement. Nice to know that you have planned for Disney wedding.

Thank you so much, we really are so excited about everything. Thanks for reading, keep in touch

I can't believe its so close either! It's going to really start to fly by! I may be going a little crazy planning but I can't say it hasn't been a blast

I will say that it was more exciting thinking of everything rather than actually getting everything squared away and finished lol. Still its been so much fun

YAY for another princess luncher!!! I will definitely let you know, when are you going????? Like I said as long as one of my favs is there I'll be a happy bride

 

[pixiegirl]

I just read your entire PJ and everything look great!! My color is clover as well. I love green.

Really like your favor boxes and think it is great that you found them so inexpensive. I will definitely have to look at Marshall's as that is the exact cake topper I am looking for.

Can't wait to see pictures from your wedding. Oh geez I almost forgot your dress. It so pretty and you look beautiful in it!! I am a big fan of Cinderella as well so I understand.

Thank you! I love clover, I think it will be beautiful on all the girls in my party because it works well with any hair color or skin tone which is one of the best things about it!

Definitely look at Marshalls, they had so many great deals! If you can't find them there, Micheals has them too but they are a little bit more (still cheap though )

I can't believe the wedding is getting so close! It's crazy but exciting all at the same time. Stay tuned I will definitely be posting more and more as it gets closer, there is still so much to do. I can't wai to hear more about your day too! Its so exciting

 

[DisneyDiva84]

We finally went to Michael's!​

We had so much left to do and I feel soooo much better knowing that a lot of it is on the way to being finished!

1st up UNITY CANDLE!

Since the wedding is outside we had to have hurricane glasses around whichever candles we chose. I couldn't find any taper candle arrangements that I liked so we thought why not use tea lights? Alex actually spotted these great candle holders at Crate and Barrel. And then we found the stones at Michaels for 59 cents! Gotta love the clearence section, especially when they have stuff in our colors!

Final look

Close up of center

Close up of sides

The tapers will be originally lit using our memorial candle which I think is a great touch. And then we will light the tapers using our seperate candles which have been lit by our moms to light the center.

#2 T-Shirts

This was a lot more difficult. Who knew I needed so many D's Since I needed 8, I needed four packets of letters so pricing was a little difficult at first. We found the silver ones (using for bridesmaid shirts) for 3.59and the colored ones (for me) were 4.59 not too bad I will only be using the pink on the multi-color ones since purple isn't one of my colors but the pink is an exact match to the bridesmaid shirts so i'm very happy

#3 FRAME!

We had been searching for a guest book frame, I love those! But we couldn't find any that we liked. We had never seen these before and BONUS it was 40percent off! I love it! Our engagement photo will go in the center

#4 Welcome bags

We got these bags for our welcome bags. I don't think the welcome folder will fit in there, if it doesn't I will just make sure they hand out a welcome folder with each bag.

#5 Programs!

I was going to make my own programs but honestly I don't think I'm going to have much time I had been going back and forth with the idea of fan programs and we found these at Michaels. All we have to do is create what needs to go on each one and we are done! I love it because we will be able to add Mickey or Cinderella in any way we need to! And again, we got 40 percent off YAY

I love knowing that everything is starting to come together...so exciting!

Thank you! I really liked it too, it was such a relief to get it done since it was kind of floating around in wedding abyss lol

Trust me when i say, a year and a half will be flown by before you even notice

Everything is coming together so nicely! I love the candles and what a great deal!

Thank you! I loved the way they turned out, I think sub-conciously I was really worrying about getting that together lol. It's really the only ceremony decor we are going to have, minus the petals on the talbe. so I wanted it to be elegant yet pop.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to find your PJ, but I love it! Your plans look awesome and I think I'll be using a TON of your ideas because they all look so great! I hope you don't mind.

I'm getting married in Epcot on June 19th and have been worrying about my timeline for the morning of the wedding. I'm exited to read your TR once you get back from your wedding! I couldn't schedule my PJ until 4 months out to my wedding due to my fiance's work schedule. So I'm trying to get as much info and stuff done as I can before my PS because it will be down to the wire once we get back.

I've been toying around with the idea of getting engagement photos but yours have made me want to take the plunge and just go for it. I love them!!! I think your photos convinced my fiance too!

Can't wait to read more!!

You are so sweet! Thank you

Yay for another EPCOT BRIDE! I was really worried too because there are not a ton of us out there so there aren't a ton of PJ's to read to find out timelines unless you luck out and find an am bride. I will definitely be posting a thread so you can get an idea how the morning went. From the way PS went it seems like the morning will go really smoothly. They are delivering the floral at like 5:30 in the morning lol. But I doubt i'll get much sleep anyway

And don't worry about your PS being a little closer to the wedding trust me when I say it actually helps, I was worried ours was too far out. So either way it will be a blast!

And definitely get engagement photos! We used Randy Chapman and he was so fantastic. But honestly for 300 bucks its a great way to 1. get photos of the two of you to use in whatever pre-wedding events you do and 2. to do a test run with your photographer to make sure you like the style

Definitely feel free to steal away, I love the boards for that very reason

And congrats on your wedding to!

Thank you! I love Michael's too I seriously live would live in that store if it was within walking distance. Gotta love not having cars in Chicago haha

 

[DisneyDiva84]

So I made my first Etsy purchase ever today!

Since we are having the coaches as our centerpieces I thought these would make great table numbers! It's from timeless paper who by the way is a fantastic person to buy from (product pending of course) but was excellent on communication.

The table numbers are going to not have numbers on them but read:

Happily Ever After
Once Upon a Time
Fairytale Romance
Villains
Classic Companions
Magical Moments

I can't wait to see the final prodcut!
