I'm so excited! My Mommy had ordered me the Regina B. necklace and bracelet I had been drooling over for months as my birthday present! Well, it just came in the mail yesterday so here's some pics!!! I couldn't be happier! They're beautiful. And I'm SO excited to wear them with my dress.

The boxes:

The bracelet:

Necklace:

Necklace details (including my kitty, haha!):

I'll be back on to post in a little bit about this and other things--I'm off to have a phone meeting with our planner, Carol!!!

OMG!!! Love this! I am seriously melting over this jewelry! Love, Love, Love it! and that cake is going to be gorgeous, can I come to your wedding and eat cake

 

[LuvLuvLuv]

I love your cake sketch!! So pretty!! I haven't got any further than a post-it sketch... but I was thinking of actually getting poster board and rhinestones and making a mock version of it to take with me to my planning session. I'm crazy though. Love your jewelry too!!

 

[sw33t_angel]

Love the jewelry and that cake looks good enough to eat!!!

 

[PrincessTinker11]

I so agree, your jewelry is so nice AND the cake looks amazing!

 

[J.ThaddeusToad]

Thank you so much! (And that has to be the ultimate compliment--being called a Disney princess! )

You are so welcome! Were you trying to dress princess-esque, because you totally pulled it off?! Your jewelry and cake plans look wonderful as well!

Thanks! And you definitely should go into your planning session with a mock version! It helps give them a better idea of what you want.

Thank you, twin!

Haha, it was just coincidence. I knew from the moment I bought my red shoes that I wanted to use them in my pictures. So then I was on the hunt for accessories to match. It wasn't until a couple of my friends suggested the Snow White reference and I was like, "really?" and had to look it up for myself. (I completely forgot she wore a red bow!)

The cake is so cute! I can't wait to see how it actually comes out in person Also, that jewelry is just gorgeous!

So, I ended up getting the first BEO right after I posted my last tidbit. We were sortaaa close to our budget, but my Daddy wants me to try and trim off $4,000...I already know some of the stuff I can do without, so hopefully it'll all work out.

Also, David and Vicki Arndt posted our engagement photo sneak peeks on facebook last night! Vicki told me she was going to post them yesterday, so I kept an eye out ALL day. Well, once I was notified on my cell that she tagged me in photos I raced to facebook to find out our internet wasn't working! So I had to wait until this morning to actually see them. It was well worth the wait though, because we're so happy with them! Here are just a couple of my favorites-there will be more to come.

There's some more on their facebook page!!! (hopefully this link works?): http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150198830391190.311647.111170876189

So I'm totally making our guest book as soon as I get the CD of all the pictures--I really can't wait for that!
Fun fact: What's also pretty neat is today (May 30th) marks 2 years since we actually got engaged...so it's been a long engagement, but we're almost there!!! (And tomorrow's my birthday ) I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend!

Holy, cow I was on my honeymoon and missed these!??????! Gorgeous, you look so radiant and stunning!

I'm excited to see how everything comes together for your wedding as you are using the same color scheme my fiance and I had picked.

 

[princesswendy720]

Well your custom cake quote makes me happy! LOL I think it's pretty reasonable. What else do you think you'll trim?

Thanks, we really love that color combo!

YES! I was actually bracing myself for the worst. I was thinking it was going to be between $1,000-$2,000, so I am actually quite pleased. I'm not too sure what else we're going to cut though...I'll have to sit on that for a little while more.

Just sat and read through your ENTIRE PJ lol....love it!!!

So, I just got our guest book in the mail and I am in love with this book! I ordered it through the Disney Photopass website. They had a wedding-themed one so I had to get it! It came very fast and the print quality is very nice. I really love the paper too, it's one of those luster-pearl papers. Here's some tidbits:
