Thanks Katie! Kevin and I are way excited for Le Cellier, we've both already decided on the filet hahaha.

You're welcome hun! The filet was sooooo yummy, you wont regret that decision!

Your invites came out so pretty! I love them!

Ok 1st off your ADR's look awesome! You are eating at some of my faves, Crystal Palace, Kona, Le Celier all are so yummy! 50's has the best pot roast I have ever eaten and we are pretty good pot roast chefs up here in New England! Cape May and San Angel are 2 places Dave and I chose for our honeymoon b/c they just look so fun! Great Picks Heather!

Now the invites, it must be something about boys and palm trees lol! My dad came home a few years ago with a palm tree tattoo (we called it his mid-life crisis tattoo lol) and Dave bought us a palm tree lamp last week! But seriously I am loving those invites, perfect for Florida!

Are you getting excited?!

Thanks Katie! I tried my best to keep the floral to a minimum!!! And yes, I am getting sooo excited! I cannot believe how fast it is approaching!

 

[HeatherNJNC]

Well, I cannot believe how quickly the big day is approaching! Only 20 days till we leave for Florida and only 24 till the wedding!!! I have been sooo busy that I have completely neglected my PJ! Everything is pretty much done! We have paid off the wedding and honeymoon (in Mexico, woot!) and now were just kind of finishing off all those little things that add up!

We booked the rehearsal dinner location, however we decided to invite everyone and do more of a cocktail/hors d'oeuvre party! We are having it at Bongo's at Downtown Disney and I am really excited as the food and drinks sound sooo good!

Bongos:

I've also found my shoes for the wedding! I never wear heels so I decided on flip flops! I found them on sale at Marshall's and they work with my dress perfectly! The girls found their shoes at Burlington Coat Factory for $20 and are wicked comfy. My favorite shoes of all though are the guys! I am so excited to see how they're going to look with their tan suits! Remember, we are NOT having a formal wedding so we totally went casual on footwear to go along with the rest of the wedding!

My Shoes:

The Girl's Shoes (They're removing the charm-sorry so small):

The Guys Shoes!!!:

And Their Suits for a Reminder:

And as I am famous for deciding on something last minute, I ordered a veil just yesterday from David's Bridal! Fortunately, they were able to get it in ivory and it will be here no later than Sept 9th! I am so excited about this!!! I don't think I would have officially felt like a bride without one!

Veil:

We also got our bands and have started putting together the welcome bags so I will be sure to put that in my next post!

 

[shippedtosea]

I don't know if i posted on here before. but I just wanted to say congrats! thats so exciting! Everything is looking great!

 

[MainStMandy]

Yay for an update!!! Can you believe it's only 24 days?!??! OMG are you so excited?? I love Bongos! Have you been?? MMMM plantains!!! I love the veil too.

Quick question...did you rent those suits? That is the one DF picked out but he is insisting on buying a suit not renting and tan suits are hard to come by!!

 

[HeatherNJNC]

I don't know if i posted on here before. but I just wanted to say congrats! thats so exciting! Everything is looking great!

Thanks! I am just catching up on your PJ! I love your venue, it's beautiful!

Amanda! I am getting SOOO excited, I am more emotional lately too haha! I have never been to Bongos but I hear the food is great so I am excited! And thanks for the compliments on the veil!

As for the suits, we rented them from Carolyn Allens! It was really easy and if you order I think 6 or more than you get the groom for free, although DF decided he would still pay for his and just deducted the cost off all of his groomsmen's suits instead. They were fairly inexpensive compared to a lot of others! We looked at MWTux too but they had NOTHING to rent in that color! Let me know if you have any other questions!

 

[MainStMandy]

Thanks Heather! I wish I could convince him...maybe after a bit more shopping and not finding anything he will agree

 

[shippedtosea]

Thanks! I am just catching up on your PJ! I love your venue, it's beautiful!

aww thanks hun!
