Cam (and Howard)

I'm so far behind on your PJ, I was just reading the last few pages and I'm dying to see those dresses. It sounds like you've been a busy girl with wedding stuff and work is just getting in the way! I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!

I'm sending you my email so you can send me those dresses to look at. Demetrios dresses are just beautiful.

Everything is moving right along. BTW Howard, I love that song! It always makes me just a little! There's a lot of love in that song, it seems to fit you and Cam to a "T"!

howard is so funny!!!!!

i think your son would love that outfit, the "chics" would definitely "dig it."

Well, a couple more things are taken care of. Thanks to another Disney bride, I found a bulk candy warehouse that sells Disney candy and lots of other candy. I ordered a 5 lb bag of Disney mints, a 5 lb bag of Disney sweet tarts and found some really cute star lollipops.

Nothing else new to report. The Demetrios trunk show is this weekend and I'll finally get to see the gown I fell in love with a few months ago in a magazine. Can't wait! I also found some other styles to look at in that line, too.

On the other hand, work has been insanely busy and next weekend is my partner/friend's wedding in Denver. Due to a commitment Howard has, we'll fly out of Philly Saturday night after 6 and leave Denver to come back early Monday afternoon. I am sure I am going to be and really wiped out after all that air travel and a mid-mountain wedding (not sure if I'll have altitude sickness, since I've practically never been near a mountain), but I wouldn't miss my friend's wedding for the world.

Cam,

Can you send me a link (or the name) of that bulk candy warehouse? I am sorry you are booked solid this weekend (I need to finish my taxes too, hopefully this weekend). Can't wait to see pics of you in THE dress!!!

Thanks, Patty! And in response to your request, I'm glad to post it here, though I can't attest to their level of service yet, because I only placed the order today: If anyone is interested, it is candywarehouse.com and you can search for DISNEY and all sorts of fun things come up. Or search "star" or "heart", etc.

So much FUN MAIL!!

The vellum sheets I ordered arrived. I ended up getting 100 sheets total for ~$26, including shipping, and they upgraded me to priority shipping at no extra charge. Thank you so much, Caryn, for the advice on where to order from!!
I ended up doing 50 sheets of cream, 25 of pink and 25 of metallic gold. The vellum is exquisite! I can't wait to work on a mock-up. I haven't figured out yet how to use the pink or gold sheets but they are sooo gorgeous!

We also received a package from DFTW yesterday!! Organ music CD and cake price list & CD!!! WOW!!!! The great thing is that the cake we love is one of the least expensive per person. Even if we have to pay extra to have them modify it to add columns to support the porcelain castle and extra to add colored sugared flowers, it will be well worth it!

Now, Howard and I just have to carve time out to look at everything and start going through the planning materials. Fortunately, our planning session is still more than 3 months away, so it gives us some time to do it in a relaxed fashion. Howard's graduation is 5/31 and Special Olympics Summer Games are the second weekend in June, so we'll start on the planning stuff early in order to get it back to DFTW by early June.

Oh, and maybe most exciting of all! Tomorrow I will finally see the "dream dress" in person -- I am worried that I will be disappointed. But, I've decided I LOVE 3 of the four finalists from 2 weeks ago, so even if I didn't try on another single dress, I'd have a hard time deciding among those three!

Papers sound great and I am so looking forward to seeing your dream dress. Please keep us all posted and post pictures.

Thanks,
Linda

I am so excited for you. DFTW CD how fun. Three months won't be long. I can't wait to see you in the dress too. I also hope you post a picture of the invites with the vellum. I can't wait. Also can I have the name where you got the candy's from too. Thanks.

 

[Honeibee]

Jealous jealous jealous that I am not going tomorrow.....

The candy is from candywarehouse.com and the vellum (Did I mention it is GORGEOUS??? Is it possible to be in with paper? ) is from paperandmore.com

The invitation pocket folder and inserts will be from cardsandpockets.com

The one thing I am still searching for is the little charms to put on the invitations -- I found them in silver. They are two linked hearts and they are really pretty. I guess they'll work on a pink & cream invitation set-up, but if I were going to use them on anything else where I am using the gold vellum, they'd clash. Since the invitations won't have gold on them at all, I think the silver hearts will be fine.

Jealous jealous jealous that I am not going tomorrow.....

We'll miss you!

cam, i'm glad paper and more worked out for you! i'm getting the supplies for lindsays invitations there as well! can't wait to hear about the dream dress, hope the weather cooperates for you this weekend...

 

[pjstevens]

Your paper sounds so pretty. I can't wait to see a pic of you in your dream dress.

 

[keenercam]

Thanks, Caryn & Patty!

OMG!! I fell in LOVE with a necklace I saw on the swarovski website. Isn't this incredibly stunning?

 

[WDWFAN9]

Wow! That necklace is amazing! Good luck with your dress shopping! I hope you find the dress of your dreams!

 

[keenercam]

Well, I found it! I loved it on the hanger, but when I put it on, it was "the one"! And Jenn saw several on me but this one made her cry. She literally got all choked up and said I looked so beautiful. Marie and Kathy were as blown away by the gown as I was. I put a deposit and will go back in May to be measured and to order it. I still can't believe it.

Oh, and the dream dress was just not the one for me. If I hadn't been blown away by this other one, I might have been disappointed.

 

[geetey]

Congrats on finding THE ONE, Cam!! Did you take pictures? I know you can't share them on here but I know a lot of us will want to see you. Will the necklace go with the dress?

Congrats again! I am so happy you find one you love!

I am so thrilled to hear that THE dress found you. Thrilled!

What you said about Jenn had me with tears. I love that your baby girl was loving her Mama in it. And I love that you had wonderful friends there with you too.

Silver would look lovely with pink and cream.

So glad you found the dress. I tried on about 5 dresses and the one I wore was the first one I tried on and yes my mom cried when she saw it on me too. That's how I knew it was the one.
