BethanyMouse's Summer 2009 Wedding PJ- updated- possible bouquet pics

Thanks for the advice Caryn. We will definitely have to take this into consideration when planning times. Its all so tricky ya know? I feel like it is one enourmous jigsaw puzzle! Thanks again!

Just wanted to give you a heads up Bethany about letting guests get to the wedding on their own. Last year there was a blistering thread on the DVC boards here about family members of a wedding party that tried to use Disney buses to get over to GF/WP from I think Saratoga Springs. They missed the ceremony!

As I have found out over multiple stays, if you use the bus start off really early and then add 30 minutes to your time. if you have to be somewhere like for an ADR's you might get the brand new driver who gets lost at Fort Wilderness and pulls into a spot that's not a bus stop and about gets us stuck in the mud(happended to me in May during a VWL stay). Longest trip I ever had to MGM.

If you have read alot of these threads, most guests can't figure out how to be timely on getting their RSVP's in or booking their rooms(even though you have given them 8 months and have room blocks up, they still wait to the last minute then cry there's no where to stay!:scared1: ). You need to protect them from themselves and save the grief you might get from parents that Uncle Bob and Aunt Betty got lost on the monorail and missed the ceremony.
 
Welcome to the boards :welcome:

yay for having another 2009 wedding on here :banana: !!

What summer month are you planning to have your wedding in?? These boards are fab in getting tons of advice & ideas. When i first joined the boards all i knew is we wanted a disney wedding & not too much about what really went in to one :confused3 .Now after a year of reading tr's & asking many many Q's i ve got every detail down to a "T".:woohoo:

Its like having hundreds of wedding planners giving you advice at once as everyone knows so much & is an expert in their own right. Im just so glad i ve found these boards as im sure as is everyone else
 

Welcome Bethany!

I too am going to be a summer 09 bride myself! I teach so I know how precious the summertime is!

My DF too proposed right before Christmas in 2006. I'm glad to hear that you were able to get in touch with Disney already. I'm planning to call next week. I'm hoping of the week of June 29th - July 2nd. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

Can't wait to hear more about your wedding!

This is so true. Made me rethink this whole scenerio. Thanks for your advice. Do you have any idea how much a bus would cost to transport them from their hotels to the pavillion? Thanks!

Congrats on your engagement! Isnt it exciting! Disney was great when I called. They asked me a bunch of questions and had a wedding coordinator contact me in about 24 hours. It was wonderful. Best of luck to you!

Thanks for reading everyone.
 
Thought I would post a picture of a bouquet that I like. What do you think?

I dont want it to be too big and heavy. I like the idea of doing a few hidden mickeys on the ribbon around the stem in pearls. I have also seen pictures of hankerchiefs around the stems instead of the ribbon and I kind of like that idea but everyone tells me that the ribbon will look cleaner. Also, instead of the jewels in the stefanitis (sp?) I would like to do pearls. What do you think?
 
I think that that is a beautiful boquet. Pearls in the centers of the flowers would look great!
 
Welcome to the DIS boards! I can't wait to read more about your wedding plans!

Thanks, I didnt know if it would be too white against a white gown?

Welcome to the DIS boards! I can't wait to read more about your wedding plans!

Thank you so much!

Ok, transportation question-
If I was to pay to have a bus pick up my guests at their hotels prior to the ceremony at the pavillion:
What time would they be picked up?
What is the charge for this?
Can it be a one way service and use disney trans for the way home?
Is the above question rude? (sorry!)
How many people can a bus hold?
Has anyone done this and does it work out?

Thanks!

By the way Caryn, I think its time for those :cool2: .....its starting already!
 
I really love that bouquet... it looks very elegant :)

Thank you so much! I think it will be the one. I have been researching different bouquets online all day and cant find one that I like besides this. I think that I found this on these boards a few weeks ago!
 
Here are some more bouquets I found by searching the net and from other disney brides....What are your thoughts?
So what do you think?

****Sorry was asked to remove the pics!

I am probably going to have an all white gown with pearl accents. My girls will be in a caribbean blue chiffon tea length dress (that is the plan anyway). Thoughts? Thanks!
 
I love them all. I'm usually into bright colors but decided to tone it down for my wedding and bouquet. Don't do something though if it doesn't feel like you. You may regret it later.
 
Thanks so much for the help with the bouquet. Sorry that I had to pull the pics! Here is the newest news. I have heard so many good things about Randy Chapman that I think we are going to chose him for our photographer. He recommended stvs videography. We called them, they sent their info and dvd and I really liked what they had to offer. However, I have been reading some not so good stuff about them so I am not so sure now. Anyone have any input on videography? Thanks!
