B&P's VR 11/10/2012 UK/AAP/UKDP Day 1 Arrival & Epcot 6/10

Well, I have been a bad, bad Disbride and not updated my pj in forever. I hope to get a few up before we go for our PS.

I got this a while ago, but haven't posted it here, but I bought a pashmina to keep me warm. I absolutely loved Danielle's pashmina that she wore at her DP because it had a lovely silver shimmer to it with the aqua. It looked gorgeous. I googled silver and pink pashmina and actually found one.

Sorry it's not the best shot, hopefully, it will show up in photos as well as Danielle's did.

I posted our bathroom amenity baskets that Amanda made for us, but I also had her do embroider some bags for our 2 Fairy Godchildren. They are gonig to love them! Ashlyn has since changed her favorite princess to Rapunzel, but she will still love having Jasmine.

I have some stuff to put in the bags already -- stickers, autograph books, Ariel and Rapunzel pez dispensers, and some Disney jewlery. Since we decided to cancel our cruises in October, I was afraid I was going to have to scrap one of my ideas for the girls, but Amanda is coming to my rescue! On the cruise, you can bring items (picture mats, pillowcases, etc.) to Guest Services and they will have them autographed by the characters for you. You can even request a particular character. I asked Amanda if she would mind doing this for me and she said yes. Thanks Amanda! pixiedust:

I also had Amanda do a handkerchief for each FG as well. Faye had posted a really sweet poem for the flower girls and I will incorporate the 2 together when I get home. For now, here are the lovely items that Amanda made.

I will be ordering more from Amanda after her own lovely wedding, since her work is amazing!

I have also been keeping Wendy busy too! Wendy made me a custom avatar, which I adore! It is so cute.

We needed the custom avatar so that we could make a custom button for our welcome bags. I am in love with these (and with Wendy's work in general!). I also think that I will print the avatar on labels for the front of our welcome folders. Sorry, the photo is huge and no matter what I try, it won't shrink.

Speaking of pins, I got the artwork from Shelley for our custom ceremony pin. It is absolutely amazing! I don't have the cost yet, but we love the design. We should find out the price when we meet with Shelley next Friday.

I have more since I have been bad at updating lately, but will stop here for now. Have a happy Friday!
 
You have put so much thought and love into your VR, Bethie. I hope your guests notice and appreciate all of the details. We do!!
You must be getting ready to leave for your PS in a few days--have a great time and soak it all in...and keep us posted.

Amazing! I don't know many of the custom designers, but obviously they do incredible work. :)
I only do the the creative DISigners bookmarks, etc. But I may have to look into more of the custom items. Could you pm me Amanda's contact info. Since I'm not actually doing my VR in WDW I don't check on here as much as I do the regular pretrip journal thread. THANKS!!!

BTW, I am so excited, so close to the date for ADR's. :goodvibes

Thanks. Dee
 
•I'm so happy you found a pashmina to wear!
•All of the embroidery work looks wonderful - Amanda is very talented!
•I am OBSESSED with both of those pin designs. They look fabulous! Your guests are going to love them. I love that you get your own special souvenir too!
•Also, eek, you are leaving for Disney soon! I can't wait to read the report. :thumbsup2
 

I love ALL of your stuff, Bethie! The custom pin is absolute darling and so you. And Wendy's custom avatar is gorgeous!! Also... can -I- have a flower girl bag? Because you're filling it with all of my favorite things! :rotfl2:
 
I am loving the custom avatar it is so great! I kinda want one now just because. I also love the custom pin that is so awesome. I wish I could do some sort of bag but I just don't have the time, energy or funds but I love what you have! Great pictures. The pashmina is great I definitely need something to wear just in case at the dessert party!

I'm going to drive all the way north to you just to steal a pin! That's TOO freaken cute!!

Hi Bethie!! I just wanted to stop in and check on our planning! So let me get started..
-So I already saw your pashmina (shawl because I'm country), but I'll comment on it again anyway. I LOVE it!!! It's so pretty. I think it will look just beautiful in the pictures!
-The bags for your girls are super cute! I would be excited to receive those!!! LOL
-Amanda has done such a wonderful job on all of your items. I hope she's still around doing this type of stuff once Charley lets me have the VR.
-AHHHH Is it strange that I want Wendy to make us an avatar, and we're already married?! lol I love it that yours is wearing pink shoes!!!!
-She did a wonderful job on your buttons!! I saw some she's making the other day on FB, and they were so cute!
-I was telling Charley about your custom ceremony pin!! I think it's going to be so cool. Your guests better recognize and realize how lucky they are to be invited to all of your events!!! LOL

Ok, so I'm ready for our PS!! It's going to be amazing!!! Jackie and I will be able to get so much done!!! hahaha But really... I'm super sad that you won't be there when I come for my bday!! We're BARELY missing each other!!! :( But I'm super duper sad that you can't be there for our meet-up at the end of May!! I'll make sure I take lots of pics with my snazzy new camera, so I can send them to you!!!! I <3 you Bethie!!!!!
 
Wow, so much great stuff that you'll be having for your wedding! There are so many wonderful and talented Disbrides here and I just love seeing what they are doing for you! It makes me want to plan another wedding ;)

Thanks, Rebecca! I really appreciate it. I hope they notice everything too! :rotfl: Tomorrow is the PS and I am super excited! Busy and short trip, but be happy when all the stuff gets done. I will report back as soon as I get home. :yay:

Hi Dee,

Amanda does amazing work! I plan on getting a bunch more stuff when she gets back from her own honeymoon. If you are on facebook, you can take a look at her stuff at Everything Bling LLC. Hope that helps.

I am excited about ADRs too! Where are you planning on making them for? I hope that Paul and I can make some decisions while we are down at WDW.

•I'm so happy you found a pashmina to wear!
•All of the embroidery work looks wonderful - Amanda is very talented!

Thanks, Danielle!!! Glad you like everything. I love the pin design that Wendy came up with and since I won her last raffle, she is making 50 of them for me for FREEE!!!! :yay::dance3:

We are headed down to WDW tonight. PS bright and early in the AM. Can't wait! Full report when I get back. :cheer2:

I love ALL of your stuff, Bethie! The custom pin is absolute darling and so you. And Wendy's custom avatar is gorgeous!! Also... can -I- have a flower girl bag? Because you're filling it with all of my favorite things! :rotfl2:

Thanks, FDD!!! :hug: Glad you like everything. I am on the lookout for more FG stuff this weekend, so hope I can find something. The Pez was an inspired find. You know how sometimes, something just catches the corner of your eye. That's how I got those.

I am loving the custom avatar it is so great! I kinda want one now just because. I also love the custom pin that is so awesome. I wish I could do some sort of bag but I just don't have the time, energy or funds but I love what you have! Great pictures.

Thanks Teresa! Your date is getting so close! I got it from Pashmina Ladies. It was only $20 and it got here super fast. Can't wait to see what you get.

I'm going to drive all the way north to you just to steal a pin! That's TOO freaken cute!!

Thanks, Jennifer!! Paul loved your shawl comment since that's what he calls it! Wendy did the pink shoes without me even telling her! They will be pink, but she didn't know. :) Glad you like the ceremony pin. I hope my guests realize this too! I know most will. :rolleyes1

I am ready for the PS too. Starting to have mini panic attacks today, but I am sure it will pass. I am so sad I can't make it in May, but maybe if airfare drops when I get home, I will take another look at it. I expect lots of photos!!!

Wow, so much great stuff that you'll be having for your wedding! There are so many wonderful and talented Disbrides here and I just love seeing what they are doing for you! It makes me want to plan another wedding ;)

Thanks, Becky! How is school going this semester? It seems like we haven't talked in ages. Hope all is well with you and Jason. Another wedding, huh??? That could be fun. :rotfl:
______________________________________

Well, we are off in about an hour for the airport. Next stop The Polynesian!!! I am beyond excited. I am sure I won't sleep much tonight. I am bringing 2 cameras and my iphone, so I will be sure we get lots of photos for the TR.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I know I will! Woohoo!!!
 
Hey Hun!

Omg I love the little bags and the hankies! :) So cute!

Glad you came bk to PJ world! hehe

x x x
 
SAVE TRAVELS, FDM!!! I hope the Poly is everything you have always wanted and more. I cannot WAIT to read all about your PS!!!

(Although, I do have my pink binder ready...)
 
Hi Paulie, I know you are on your way, so have a great trip.

As far as our ADR's we are hoping on Chef Mickey breakfast, Tonys dinner, and hopefully a lunch or dinner for our little princess in the castle, as she has never eaten there. Other than that we still are not sure.

Have fun and I can't wait to read all about it.
 
:sad2: I waited by the interstate for you and Paulie! I looked everywhere for your parachutes! I thought we'd agreed that yall were going to drop down and pick me up.. then we would :drive: down together.. What happened?!?! :confused3 I guess I'll just hang with Charley.. :happytv: . :p

:dance3: :cheer2: IT'S FINALLY TIME FOR YOUR PS!!!! :cheer2: :dance3:

I'm so stinkin excited for you... and if this wasn't a site about Disney, I'd probably be using way more ugly language than stinkin! :rolleyes1 I hope you 2 have an absolute blast. I don't know if you'll be checking this or not. Apparently not all people are like me (Jackie).. they don't carry their phones around and read random updates or check FB while waiting in lines. I HATE WAITING IN LINES. At least I can read something while we're doing it. AND I even tell Charley all about them, so I keep him entertained too!! ;) You know how much he still loves hearing about weddings. :rotfl2:

Pick lots of great things!!! I know you will! Everything will be amazing. I'm sooooo happy for you Bethie! It's the wedding of your dreams!! :goodvibes

And I'll be praying for airfare to drop for May!! If not ( :sad1: ), we'll take lots of random pics of us eating ice cream!

I <3 you lady! :hug:
 
Hope you have a safe journey!

Have a grand time! hehe EXCITED!!!

xxxx
 
Bethie!

I am a horrible disbride! I fell off the face of the planet for awhile, and I am now SOOO far behind with everyone's plans! And I made you do all those DIY projects (which are AMAZING by the way!!!) by yourself, after I promised to help! I totally suck. :( Anyway, I am back, and furiously trying to get caught up with everyone (and finish my TR). So I won't be able to comment on everything, but please know I'm still here and loving everything!! :thumbsup2 Can't wait to hear about the PS :goodvibes
