Caryn and Mark PJ- SBP/LSS/PI >>>>>>AND WE'RE OFF<<<<<<

Love the sash! I was going to suggest getting a truffle sash to match your color scheme (and your crinnie LOL).

I still can't believe you are getting another dress.

Ooh - congrats on getting those invitations out. Way to go

 

[helloirishkitty]

I love your new dress and the truffle sash! It seems so much more you..

As for the veils, I do love the birdcage look, but I could never pull it off. You should definitely go for it!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

Caryn, I love the truffle sash! That would be so perfect! Maybe they can completely cover the white sash when you get it altered.

I'm not sure what I think about the new veils. Do they have one at Davids you can try on? The birdcage looked cute on Reese in Sweet Home Alabama, but I'm not a big veil fan. I'm only wearing mine for the ceremony, and I refuse to cover my face with it.

i know, i think this is a new sash that david's is carrying! the sash on dress #2, is not attached, you just tie it...so it should work out well...ok, so i'm not normally a veil queen either, but i really like this one...my grandmother also had a good point, minus the poofy dress, the veil sets us apart as "brides," it's like our signature for the day...it was a good point. the cage veils are fantastic, they are very chic, at least i think...i LOVE fashion, so this fits well. they don't have one at davids, but i was going to try to make one myself, but don't want to bother, anyway, i went to the fabric store and took some french tulle and put it over my face, i actually really liked it! it goes with my 40's shoe clips!

I still can't believe you are getting another dress.

i know, i'm crazy! i don't know what crinnie i'm going to wear yet, i'll try all three on with the dress when it arrives!!!

i know, i think i was totally going off on a limb with the other dress/ensemble. i feel much better going forward!


i had this idea, i'm slightly aggravated with my beo, not totally, but enough, and i don't even have my floral budget yet...which i think will be high...so i'm re-thinking my floral...

i found myself on martha's website the other day and came across this...

i showed it to df and he LOVED it, like TOTALLY LOVED IT. i was actually surprised, i thought he was going to laugh at me. so that's what we're going to do for his bout...i'm going to make it, you can get most of that stuff at michaels! they even have the green leaves already made, i just have to find the pearl things...i'm wondering if i should make them for the dads/grandpa as well...they also have silver/clear leaves instead of green ones, to mix it up a bit...so we'll see!!! i'm excited about them!!!

now what to do with my sisters...does anyone know how much the rose wands cost? they're only going to have three roses in them, if they're not outrageous, then i'll keep them, but if they are, we're going with beaded/crystal flower balls or silk flower wands...i'm not changing my bouquet of course, i'm a size queen and want it to be HUGE (which is probably why the floral budget is going to be so much).

two and a half months left...

Caryn I can do a boutineer for Mark if you'd like. It wouldn't take me any time at all and that way I could get some practice for our bouquets if you decide to go with the crystal. Let me know

 

[Kristen14]

I like the beaded boutonniere!

FYI... Disney's boutonnieres are only $10 or $12, its the bouquets you need to worry about. Also, colored napkins, extra table linens and chair covers (for extra tables) are a bit pricey... theres not much you can do about it, but that was a big surprise to me in my floral BEO.

we will see, kristen has a good point, they aren't that expensive. i might just make mark his, since he really wants it, and leave the roses that i originally chose for dad's/grandpa...

i'm worried about my bouquet, which, to be honest, if it's $500 and gorgeous, i don't care...i think my centerpieces are going to be what throws me over the edge, when i had my planning session, she said that they "should be under 100 each," but the thing about lss is that the tables are small, so i have to have 12 (at least)!!!

i didn't add any extra linen. there is already colored linen in the lss and i had a hard time spending money on different napkins...people are just going to wipe their mouths with them...why should i pay extra for that? i mean, i understand when princess di and queen elizabeth spend extra money on silk napkins so the royalty won't chafe their lips, but please, my reception is at epcot, not the white house!!! besides, it looks like lss is super colorful as it is and my centerpieces will add color as well...

Your PJ is so much fun to check in on! If your trip report is anything like this, I will be hanging on every word!! By the way, I personally like the second bird cage veil - I think it would look great on you

THANKS! i'm excited about my new veil idea, not everyone does it which makes it even more fabulous!!! i can't wait to start my trip report, i've never done one, it'll be so much fun!!!

Hi Caryn,

I looove the truffle sash. Very pretty. I love when white wedding dresses have a splash of color. Also, I think you should go with the bird cage veil. I definitely think you can pull it off!

THANKS! i'm going to do the birdcage, the first one, with the same feather flower, i'm also going to wear a fingertip veil with it...maybe not for the ceremony though, here's a pic to show how it should look...

 

[Kristen14]

I'm going to crash your wedding just so I can see your fabulous outfit! Reading your PJ makes me feel naked with just my plain old dress and veil!

 

[cryssi]

That is pretty cool and different! You are making me rethink my stance on birdcage veils! LOL!

 

[caryndisneydiva]

the martha stewart cookies are a no go. i'm going to substitute them with a mini candy buffet in the welcome bags with a little tag that says "enjoy the sugar rush and remember that love is sweet." i'm not sure where i saw that, but it's adorable. i'm going to get colorful, bulk candy and HUGE round lollipops and those mickey balloon lollipops, in a clear cellophane bag...

the cookies are a huge pain in the butt. i still have half the dough, so i'm going to make texas shaped cookies for christmas...

i ordered my new veil and got an email saying that my dress will be on the way soon...

got the floral budget. that one hurt. my centerpeices are $1750. ouch. my bouquet is $350, but i'm ok with that...though she didn't get the colors right on the budget, so i emailed her to correct it. i'm having a hard time getting over the $3 votives. a really hard time.

i can't beleive there's no mail today (veteran's day), my texas guests should get their invitations today! i can't wait for the rsvp's to come in!!! my mother is dissappointed that i didn't have them sent there, but i feel much better having control of it here...i know that sounds bad, but i want the rsvp's for my scrapbook and that won't happen if i don't get them...

you'll be staying at bw when we get married!!! don't feel naked, i'm crazy. the majority of people wouldn't go this far, but i'm nuts.

thanks! i like doing things that no one else does...

 

[Kristen14]

I know, I'll be at the BW so I may happen to walk by on my way to Epcot

I wish I had the guts to be as fashion forward as you! Gloves, birdcage veil, truffle sash, and all the jewelry... I stick with the classic easy route... big poufy white dress, tiara, swarovski necklace & earrings and finger tip veil.

Btw... your centerpieces were $145 each? and they told you it'd be $100? does that include the votives? this is exactly what annoys me about Disney! Nowhere on wishbook does it mention $145 centerpieces. Is there anything you can take out or change? Or are you fed up enough that you're just gonna pay it?

they were 125 each without the votives added in...they have me set for 14 centerpieces...2 for the head table and 12 for the other tables. i honestly don't know what i'm going to do about them...i might lose the votives...i really like my centerpieces, but that money could go towards so many other things...

 

[Kristen14]

I know how you feel... I'm kinda attached to my $800 flower petals, but they may have to go. I'm keeping my votives, just because my centerpieces are kinda plain.

 

[caryndisneydiva]

btw-we LOVE wedding crashers!!!

Do they allow you to bring in your own votives?

 

[lurkyloo]

Whohoo! I finally got to read your PJ in its entirety! I am grumpy that my company didn't give us Veteran's Day off so I feel entitled to a little web surfing....

1. I had a cat named Zorro when I was in high school! She was kinda dumb, though, so we called her "Zero"...

2. I wish I need a crinnie so I could dye one like yours (or just buy that pink one off you - me likey!)

3. Where were hater blockers when I first told my fambly we're getting married at DFTW? Best. Invention. EVER! I totally needed a pair... (or is it ?)
