Hello all!

I have a question about Castaway Weddings..Has anyone paid for the extra floral, like the tiki torches? I was thinking of adding them but was wondering if anyone felt they were not worth the money?

Thanks in advance!

I had four tiki torches with white and red roses. pal leaves, shells, and small order of rose pedals. It came to $508. I loved it. Please look at my pictures on photobucket and see what you think. The only drawback is after the ceremony you never see them again. I did get two arrangements in my stateroom after the wedding that were on the cake table. I dont know where they came from. Not sure if they came from the tourches or they were done separate for the table. All the flowers were gorgeous.

Here is a link to my pictures. I hope you can get to them. They were all taken by Andre on the Dream (Shutters photographer). I highly recommend him. All 310 pictures on the CD were great. After we weeded out the ones we looked stupid in we had about 200 left. :rotfl: DH had is bottom shirt button open in alot of them so they got tossed. :lmao:

Thank you for sharing your pictures. Everything looked beautiful!!
 

babypinkbunny Your pictures are great!! I love your flowers and your hair is BEAUTIFUL!!! and I like your rings!! Where did you get the mickey wedding band?
 
I am wanting to do a VR on the Dream and my minister is traveling with us. I wondered if this would be allowed and still use their packages. Did they give you a hard time about it or anything? We may just do it ourselves as we will be in the Roy suite so we will have plenty of room.

I had no trouble at all having my sister officiate the ceremony. It was so personal and she did an amazing job!!!!

Have a wonderful ceremony!!!
 
past disney brides! Question for ya... did disney provide any wedding-y decorations for the ceremony if it was on board? :wizard:
 
we were moved from the outdoor deck 7 to inside the Cadillac Lounge because of rain. The lounge had white bunting/gauze around a Trellis at the end of the aisle. I supplied the aisle runner and rose petals.

I just got married on the Disney Dream's Outlook Lounge on Feb 25th with 32 guests in tow, and it was nothing short of fabulous!!!

Panos was our onboard wedding coordinator, and he was wonderful - professional and punctual. He coordinated the steaming of our dresses, the wedding itself, and brought us champagne to the room with a bunch of gifts from Disney (a Fairytale wedding bag, a really nice album/keepsake box, the Mickey and Minnie Cake Top, Cake serving set, a HUGE beach towel, couple of Disney picture frames, two very nice flower arrangements - I might have forgotten others! It was so many trinkets!)

The room was airy and bright, and surprisingly roomy for our 30+ guests. The piano sound was at a perfect volume, and it was just a lovely, lovely wedding conducted by my dear sister.

The cake was great, although I was so moved by the whole event, I don't really remember much about it. The only potential issue might be that the room is relatively small and frequently back-lit, so it wasn't easy to get pictures with the whole group without fancy cameras (luckily, my friend has one!).

All in all, though, I wouldn't change a thing about the whole experience!!!

The rest of the trip was wonderful as well - boy, the Rainforest Room on the Dream was heaven for this Japanese girl - a hot tub on the deck that looks out into the ocean??? Nothing could be a better place to prep before the wedding!!!!

We were lucky enough to dine at the Chef's Table/Private Room in Remy the night before, and that was truly phenomenal. Purely excellent. Even the pickier epicureans in our group was astounded by how wonderful all of the dishes were and Yannick, our server, was the most fun, personable, and caring person who could have taken care of our table.

Less stellar was the Server Team from the Main Dining Rooms. Our party of 34 was split into different rooms and sections on the first two evenings from what I heard (I was only there for the second night). The second night was our wedding night, and it was a bummer we had to split up into different rooms for dinner. We complained, but there wasn't much that could be done. I don't know who assigns tables, but they surely did not do a good job with a group our size.

The last night was Animator's Palate, and we got a lot of attention from Crush, which delighted the little ones in our group (and some of the big ones too!). That redeemed some of the previous nights' gripe, but in the end, we were too busy celebrating to really care about any of the problems!

We tossed our bouquet in the lobby after dinner the last evening, and it was really fun to see others join in too.

And thanks so much to MamaPoppins for the cute surprise waiting for us at our stateroom door - it was so lovely!!!

If you have any other questions I might be able to answer, please let me know. I really wouldn't change a single thing about my wedding cruise! (...except to make sure the table assignments are given some more attention if possible!)

Here are some wedding outfits we wore during the cruise...
 
Alice3 thank you for sharing your experience. It is nice to hear the room fits that many people and that it is worth getting married on the Dream! You just made me excited again that I made this decision :). I really loved your wedding attire and how you tossed your bouqet in the lobby! I would love to see more pictures :).
