Catherine & Jesse - PJ & TR: TR Day 2 - hair & make up trial, updated 11/5

Hey Catherine -
What is a "white pixie dust overlay"? Sounds pretty!

Aww Jennifer - its so pretty. It goes on top of the cotton linens and basically its a sheer white tablecloth and has this shiny cystal like things on it..its sparkly and looks like there is pixie dust on it. They had it out on one of the table displays at Francks. Even though it is $37.50 each :eek: -- I had to have it :rolleyes1
 
Hey catherine we really are wedding twins!
Im thinking only about 40 of my 50 wedding guests will show up too. Im actually kinda hopeing so.. then i can keep all of my floral :rotfl2: and those beautiful pixie dust overlays!
I saw you had floating orchids, is this what you were talking about?

or is it something else? if you have a pic i would love if youd share! im trying to incorpiarte orchids in a few more ways.
 
Hi Laura! Glad you popped into my PJ. Yes that picture is pretty much what I asked Rose to do for me, just without the stones on the bottom. Except, the orchids are turning out to be a little bit more expensive than I had anticpated. So now I'm working on trying to find a less expensive flower to float inside the cylinders. Its too bad though because the orchids are so pretty.

I'm having about 40 - 50 guests also. And you're right! Less guests = more $$ for the fun stuff! :thumbsup2

Didn't you start a PJ some time ago? I can't seem to find it.

catherine, I wanted to let you know , your book was my inspiration to do a photobook guest book for our VR. I chose to use pics our trips to disney through the years from our wedding/hm trip to present day with us, family and friends.... I just ordered mine and it should be coming soon! Thanks for the idea....:goodvibes

here is the cover I am using....

Again Thanks for the idea!
 
Aww your welcome! I actually got the idea from other brides on this board too. I love the cover on your book. You'll have to post some pictures once it comes in! :thumbsup2
 
its been awhile since you have updated, anything else new?

Wow - I signed on and was really surprised to see my PJ at the top of the forum again.

Makes me realize that it has been a really long time since I've updated! So here we go:

Invitations:

These things took me forever to do! I’m so glad they are done and out of the way. I just ordered pocket folders from cardsandpockets.com and then made the inserts myself. Then added the ribbons and Mickey cut outs.

I also ordered stamps on zazzle for the rsvp cards:

We also bought our wedding bands. Here is my wedding band and e-ring together:

It’s a princess cut eternity band. I love it so much! DF wasn’t sold on the idea of it at first because it wasn’t in our budget, but then we asked a friend who was a jeweler if they could make one for us. Not only did they get one custom made for me, but it was half the cost. I was so happy!

This is DF’s wedding band:

Here are the menu cards that I made. One will be placed at each table setting.

I dyed my crinoline - purple of course. I followed Caryn's instructions that she had on her PJ and it was actually pretty easy. Not as messy as I was expecting. The only annoying part was having to pull it out half way through to untwist it. It was really heavy. Here is the end result:

As you can see, it is spotty in some areas - I guess I didn't do such a great job with the untangling, but its ok - no one will see it anyway. I really like the color though.

Thats about it for now! Hopefully I will remember to update more often!
 
I'm loving all the purple!!!!
