Hey Everyone,

Just to let everyone now I got my new issue of brides magazine in the mail today and the dream MK wedding is featured - just a couple of photos and not many details but go to brides.com/dreamteam for more info it says.

Also, how crazy is this?, she gets her own doll! That's right the bride gets a special Disney Fairy Tale Weddings Cinderella Doll dressed exactly how the bride was at her MK wedding - orange sash and all. It says doll can be bought at Disney Resorts for $25.

If I go to my mom's house this week, I'll scan in the photos.

Thanks for the info about the magazine, Mermaidbride1108. I’ll keep my eye out for it. I actually saw the official wedding photos on the Internet back in February. It looked like a lovely event. But I’m partial to anything that Disney does.

As to the doll, I remember seeing a photo of it back in February. Someone on the Dis had purchased it. The doll didn't look anything like the bride, but the dress looked similar. Here's what Disney's press release had stated prior to the doll’s release:

Disney's Fairy Tale Wedding's Doll -- A collectible Cinderella bride doll, donning a princess-inspired wedding dress by designer Paloma Blanca, will be available exclusively for purchase at the World of Disney store in New York, Walt Disney World in Florida, and Disneyland Resort in California. Together, Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings and Brides magazine created this special-edition doll available for a limited time only during "The Year of a Million Dreams" celebration.


And speaking of dolls…you don’t have to be a magazine contest winner in order to have your own doll. My husband and I had dolls made in our likeness prior to our Fairy Tale Weddings vow renewal in 2004: click here. We brought them to our Welcome Party as kind of a fun way to one-up our Event Manager. You see, our Event Manager was going to have a pumpkin carved in our image: click here. I had to top his creativity and the dolls were the perfect way of doing so. They were placed next to the pumpkin at the Welcome Party: click here. Our guests got a kick out of them, and at one point they even switched our heads and bodies around. I must admit that my husband looked dang good in a dress. ;)
 
Wow.. that is so cool.. I am going to have to check it out..
 
If I go to my mom's house this week, I'll scan in the photos.

Mermaidbride1108, do you know if the magazine showed any photos of the dessert? I had read that the dessert menu included chocolate martinis, a chocolate fountain, cheesecake lollipops, and handmade crepes. It sounded yummy and I'd love to see how Disney set up the dessert buffet.
 

I'm at work now and didnt bring the mag with me:confused:

I'll look later tonight and go to my mom's this weekend and post the pics for everyone

Wow! That sounds amazing! I am such a dessert fan- I really feel all other food groups are insignificant in comparison! I would love to see the pics, too!


I will definitely have to look for the doll- I haven't seen it and ususally look for new wedding stuff evertime we go to the park!

I hear you. Life's short -- eat dessert first. ;)

In the photos that I saw of the couple's dessert/dance party that was held in front of the castle, there weren't too many photos of the dessert spread. I'm hopeful the magazine has a good photo of it.

I'm also curious to see how David Tutera handled the decorations for the dessert/dance party. I read the following about it:

- - - - - - -
After the reception, the couple and their guests will enjoy another of Tutera’s couture looks, Cocktail Soiree. The combinations of ice blues and browns will be created for a dance party.
- - - - - - -


The photos that I saw didn't showcase that portion of the event too well. Or maybe what I saw didn't jibe with how I thought it should look. That might be more likely since I had high expectations simply because it sounded so intriguing.

Lastly, I saw photos of two cakes -- one in the reception tent and the other at the dessert/dance party. But the photos didn't really show either cake in the detail that I would have liked. This is what I read about the cakes:

- - - - - - -
Weinstock designed two wedding cakes, one for show and one for the guests to enjoy at the reception.

Weinstock’s husband, Ben, said it took a week to create one silk flower placed on the show cake.

“We make sugar flowers in advance until you are satisfied with the look. It really is a work of love. We only use butter cream, the highest-end of fresh ingredients,” he said.
- - - - - - -


I am hopeful that the magazine will have a decent photo of both cakes. However, I am still trying to figure out why Sylvia Weinstock created one cake simply for "show." I found that a little strange. Did Ms. Weinstock create a cake for permanent display at Franck's? Or was the cake strictly for the photo shoot for "Brides" magazine?

I believe the "show" (a.k.a., "fake") cake was the one that sat inside the reception tent. I didn't see any photos of a cake cutting ceremony that was held there, but I did see photos of a cake cutting ceremony that was held at the dessert/dance party.

Also, the cake at the dessert/dance party was smaller and less elaborate than the one on display inside the reception tent. I don't know why Ms. Weinstock created a smaller cake for the "official" cake cutting ceremony than she did for "show." I found that odd.

Oh, well. I'm hopeful the magazine photo spread will answer a few of my questions.
 
If I had gotten married at Cinderella Castle, I think I would have ordered the following cake by Mike's Amazing Cakes and had it served at my dinner reception: click here.

No offense to Ms. Sylvia Weinstock, but if you're going to have a castle affair, you might as well go all the way. ;)
 
I was going to say if you are interested there was a guy ninimomo who did dolls for pagents contestants - it is pricey I believe his site is ninimomo.com his name is Nok morese or something like that and he is out of New York - he used to judge Miss State USAs a lot so he would give the contestants those as part of their packages. I have not seen them around lately so don't know if he still does them, but it may be cool to check into-
 
Tried to post yesterday but I had log in problems - does anyone else have trouble sometimes?

Didn't have a chance on Easter but here they are - sorry no dessert spreads.

yes, this is from the May/June issue of Brides magazine

Can't help with photos of their dessert spread designed by Tyler Florence, but I can show you what the Contemporary Chef, who worked with Tyler Florence, came up with for a wedding a month earlier.

Mermaidbride1108, I haven't been on the Weddings Board in a week or two. I'm sorry about that. Thank you so much for posting the magazine photo spread. It is much appreciated.
