Hi,

We are a same sex couple booking an Escape collection in Florida.

We don't require the bridal bouquet that is included in our package. I wanted to know what we might be able to swap it for? Hopefully more than just one extra boutonnière!

I wondered if anyone had any experience or ideas on this?

Once again, many thanks!
 
My wife and I were considering an escape package at Disneyland for a while and wondered about this as well, but we never actually investigated it. I'm interested to see what they say.

If either of you have wedding parties, any women who might hold a bouquet? Maybe if they'll translate it to an extra floral decor piece? Flowers to give to important people in your life during the ceremony (like moms or grandparents)?
 
Would you mind please posting the answer to your question if/when you find out? I have some male friends, who are considering a Disney Vow Renewal. Thanks!
 
Absolutely! I will report back on how it goes. I would be happy with extra boutonnière or floral decor, that would be great! Just don't really have the need for the bouquet.
 

How far out are you looking at booking? I should be hearing from my planner in the next week, I can ask if your date is far out?
I'm sure they will work with you for something.
 
That's very kind of you. I believe we can make our initial enquiry in September and book in October. Our wedding will be at the beginning of June 2016.
I would be really grateful for any info you find.
 
Yep. Hopefully they will tell me. LOL
I'll keep this thread as a watched thread to remind me. If I don't get back to you in about 2 weeks, send a "bump" LOL
 
i hope you hear back and likely they will make two boutonnières, but i know too that i read a lot that they aren't big on substitutions or swapping benefits for something of a perceived similar value with the escape or memories package. it does seem like not a great swap to swap out a boutonniere for even a modest bouquet! but if they won't, another poster's idea of using the bouquet for a mother or other special guest or something is a good one. happy planning!
 
DFTW (at least the one in Disneyland) is sensitive to same-sex issues and does make the appropriate wedding adjustments typically. For example, for the wedding gifts they sent out for us, they sent us two bride items for each gift rather than one bride and one groom. I would hope that that would be the case for escape packages as well.
 
I agree LadyD, I don't think they're going to have any issues. DFTW seems to be pretty flexible and open minded in a lot of areas. No matter which package you choose.
 
I wanted to update this now we have our co-ordinator. They have offered two boutonnieres and petals for the aisle. I think that's very fair and they seem open to other suggestions! A really great response!
