Before's & After's

[mjshorses]

I thought it would be really neat, as well as really helpful, to start a thread of before's (inspiration pics) and after's (actual) ceremony, reception, dessert party, etc. It would give those of us considering a disney event or even those of us planning, an idea of how good Disney is at re-creating your dream. Especially, if your trying to create a champagne dream on a beer budget.

Anyone want to post theirs?

What a great idea!

Anyone want to share? I just thought it be an easy reference to have these in one thread.

Hopefully you get some takers, I think this is a great idea!

They hadn't invented online inspiration board sites back when we got married, so I just have individual photos I gave Disney to communicate what I wanted. It's not a lot, but here's what I've got!

Inspiration: I had trouble communicating what I wanted—the photos I was sending in were not resulting in proposals that I liked or could afford. So finally I just had my DF draw what I wanted...

I will see what I can dig up here to post for you ladies! I really didn't have a lot of specific requirements though, so Disney was pretty much free to make it as beautiful as they wanted lol

Here is a centrepiece inspiration

And this is what we got. The colour was a bit off from what I wanted, but it was close enough, and looked beautiful.

I also used the flowers in that centrepiece picture as inspiration for my bouquet. I told them that I wanted a round rose bouquet with hidden mickeys, with the white and lavender roses. This is what my bouquet looked like. I was happy with it overall, but the colour wasn't exactly what I wanted.

I got lucky because there was some type of mishap and I ended up with 2 bouquets, and got to choose which one I wanted to use. They were both pretty much identical but one was bridal sized and one was bridesmaid sized. I ended up using the bridesmaid sized one - it really fit my 5' frame better! Something to think about for you future brides!

We used Tiggerificheidi's Narcoossee's wedding as inspiration for our tables. We wanted 8 tops, but when we got there, they told us it wouldn't work out, so this is what we got. But this was an alternate that I gave my planner, and I really liked the way they did it, so I had no problems.

One bad thing, this was the napkin swatch that we chose

but on the wedding day, there were no napkins We did end up getting our money back for them, it was some type of clerical error.

Our sweetheart table had the carriage as a centrepiece, so it was chosen from Disney, and therefore no inspiration needed.

This was the same for our cake. We chose the destination castle cake, and they did a fantastic job.

I have a couple pictures I can share!

This was a picture I gave them to show them the floral colors and roses I wanted:

And here was what I got and it was all perfect:
This was the alter arrangement that also was used for our sweetheart table:

The only good pictures I have of my bouquet are with DH and I in them, sorry!
