But you would still be making them. We bought the pockets pre-made...but thats it. There is still lots of cutting and glueing and don't forget the design (my moh did that for me). It's still hand-made...you just are having someone else get you started

Oh words of wisdom.....yeah I have issues with needing my hand in everything I am aware of this fact. I was originally going to make my wedding dress! what a headache that would have been. Right now its the etching factor. My teacher said some papers will be really hard to print on. Which means I can't use pre-made pockets. Also I don't get why they make all of the with half covers? I wanted a full! I am not sure why I make everything more difficult for myself. Thanks for dealing with my insanity. I will hopefully know everything this weekend and stop stressing! fingers crossed

I love the necklace - i would lean toward clear. But you really need to see it with the dress.

We used paperandmore.com for our pocket invitations. Did you see this style (i just grabbed the link for silver)?

Thanks! I have seen those and considered them. Like everything else i'm I don't like them a 100% I wanted the extra fold (I think it looks better) but they don't make them with a full fold.I will have to see when I try and make mine. If they don't print right I will need to think of another plan.

thank you for looking for me!

Hello ladies! so this weekend and today was crazy and eventful. So my mom came in on Friday and I got to show her everything I have been working on. She actually surprisingly liked everything, except maybe the necklace for me.

So on Saturday we went to this place I do I do. which was the most insane experience EVER. The first thing she said to us was "Hi, the store is really packed and things can fall easily so ask me if you want to see anything because if you break it I WILL make you pay for it" It was the most uncomfortable way to step into the store. It is an accessories store. I thought it was just invites and guest books, favors stuff like that. But it was also like jewelry and veils. Well DF came with us so I didn't want him to know anything and the lady totally didn't get that. DF even went away and put music on his ipod on so he couldn't hear anything. She wouldn't let us leave and kept yelling at me for not being "prepared" to look at jewelry and veils. She was getting mad when I was like I didn't even know you had them! She even followed us out the door. CRAZY

so then me and my mom went to the cheapy bridal store and tried stuff on. The owner was really nice and let me write down style numbers and take pictures and all that. The next day we decided to go to this other bridal store. When we got there we had to buzz in? and it said couture bridal. Which made me rather nervous, thinking we were in the wrong place. Well when we got upstairs the first thing the lady said was we are booked up. I was like excuse me? I just wanted to look at bridesmaid dresses. She soon relaxed and told me I could use an empty room and take in whatever we wanted!! She left us totally alone so that we could take pictures and do whatever. Which was awesome. Well shocker of shockers me AND my mom found what we wanted!

So, what I am hoping for is that my BM's will wear all different dresses, but as you know they have been major pains in the butts......so I will have to see. I have not had the energy to call my MOH and have that fight so I have just let it go for now, which I know is bad but...I just can't be on the phone yelling or crying right now. so yeaaaaaaahhhhh
here are the dresses! They come in the same fabric and yellow!
If I have my way this is who will wear them.

MOH

Friend BM

sister-in-law

together
We also decided on the flower girl dress. it has very similar fabric to the BM dresses but has the layers like mine!

with a light blue ribbon

all together

My mom found her dress but she is having problems finding what color she wants. there are a MILLION shades of green. She wants green because she wants it to be summery without stepping in on my colors. so you can help. the colors aren't as bright as they appear here. Give opinions please!

best part of this place...I got to try on Disney Jewelry! which made me SO excited. I was bouncing off the walls..
I tried on this necklace and fell in love....

I still like the first necklace I showed you but I just loved this necklace and couldn't take it off. so i need to see if I can get it cheap somewhere.

I also tried on veils and really liked one. Guess what? It was a Disney Veil and I didn't even know it!
I can't seem to find it on the site but..thats what the girl told me.

It has tiny crystals all over. I will be on the search for it on ebay! btw this isn't my dress it was just a similar one.

So we decided a couple of things.

Flowers
my MOH will have the blue Hydrangeas like the other girls but with white stephanotis with blue pearls like mine. (but I will also have the yellow flowers and white hydrangeas)
DF will have white stephanotis as his
and the GM will have blue hydrangeas

We bought straws. my mom convinced a Chinese restaurant to sell us a box of clear straws (I thought they were white.....they weren't I will have to deal...) They were SO confused and we totally upset them.

she also did a mock up of what they will look like if she does the writing.

We bought Disney gift bags for the welcome bags for the hotel rooms. They are super cute and were cheap. We also went shopping and I bought more honeymoon clothes! There are SO many summer clothes sales right now Me and my mom spent a whole night cutting the pinwheels but now we just have to punch the holes and do the writing! so thats some done.

Here is the test etching for the invites

Please be honest

Some things left to decide.

Cake...which I will repost. including my back up cake

My dream cake!

This is my backup. without the ugly purple flower. done blue cake and yellow shaded pearls and little white flowers like the other cake.
Linens
Make-up artist/make-up
Hair
There are more but my brain is dying!

My mom left on monday and we had an awesome trip! lots done (I think there might be even more then I put here so I might have to update!)

Opinions wanted! I am very very tired so if things don’t make sense….SORRY!

I like the dresses you picked, they look nice together and in the right color they will look even better.

I really like that MOB dress, if you don't mind, who is the designer. I like the first color, it looks fun.

The veil looks pretty and I almost bought that necklace. Check out weddingish.com and sign up for their updates and they will send you coupons periodically, http://www.advantagebridal.com/jewelry1.html also has them, but they are more expensive.

The etching came out great! I really like it and the pinwheels are adorable.

 

[pezaddict231]

The dresses look great! Why doesn't your MOH want different dresses? If she got to pick which one she likes, why would she care what the other two girls wear? The FG dress is really cute, I wanted to get something similar but it's hard to find dresses in colors.

The jewelry is really pretty. I really like the MOB dress, I like the 2nd and 3rd colors best. I think the 2nd one would look really nice with yellow. The 3rd one might be too light but it's hard to know without seeing the fabric swatches.

I think the etching looks good, and will look even better on the right paper, the paper will be blue right?

The cakes are great. I don't see any reason why Disney couldn't do your first cake, it looks like just fondant or gum paste to create those waves. They can definitely do the second one, they have one that's similar. Lol, what is with that ugly flower!

 

[pezaddict231]

oops forgot all about the pinwheels! They are awesome, and your mom's writing on them was perfect!

 

[Boardwalk_bride]

The dresses all look so great! And once again, I LOVE the pinwheels!!!

I love your cakes so much! I want to steal it, but I know it will not work with my venue! I had your backup cake in our cake running, but DF said it was too girly for him

I think the test for your invites look amazing! I love it when people give me something they made (even if it is an invitation). It is just so personal, and it makes you feel like someone really took the time to do something for you! If I had your talent, I would do it

Thanks! I hope they will look good. You never can tell! but I like the idea of everyone wearing different! Makes it not so....dreaded bm's dress? haha
The designer is Jordan. The first one is the color we left the store liking and then realized they have like a 40 colors! which I think is shocking.

thanks so much for the sites I will def do that. It was $120 (i think) in the store by me? seemed like a lot..The sites I have found seem to not have the necklace....is it an older one?

Well A. my MOH has been being a big BRAT! which I have ranted about too much on here. she is just MIA and in her own life and not involved in the wedding. I am also not giving her credit. I have no shown her the dresses yet because that would also require us talking and me freaking out on her because she hasn't been around for WAY too long. My mom is afraid no one will like the purple one. because its puffy? my fave is the purple so I don't get that. I plan on showing purple and red to my MOH and have her pick but....I kind of already know who I want to wear what! haha its my friend who might be anti the purple. she is SUPER small so I thought she'd look great in it, but my mom made the point that she likes to look thin so she might feel big? ugh. This is again all in our heads! but they are predictable.

Thanks my mom will be happy to hear that. she is back and forth on the colors. I don't like the 3rd. I agree its too light. She is afraid the 2nd will be too dark for the time of year? I don't get that? but...thats moms for ya

The paper was originally going to be yellow....but when I did the blue ink it looked green, which I was kind of afraid of. SO....yes paper will be blue with dark blue ink and the inside (which I'm working on hopefully today!) will be printed on yellow with a navy mat. and figures crossed the ink doesn't look green on those and all colors match nicely!

I am not getting married in Disney...though I am really wanting to know. Sadly my family would freak out and its not worth the headache...SO yea I am having a Disney themed/beach themed wedding and Disneymoon so I do not know if my place will do that cake. Cake is included and I don't know what they can and can't do, hence the back up cake. That flower is really ugly isn't it..

The dresses all look so great! And once again, I LOVE the pinwheels!!!

I love your cakes so much! I want to steal it, but I know it will not work with my venue! I had your backup cake in our cake running, but DF said it was too girly for him

Thanks hun! I am starting to really like them too. Clear straw is okay? Thats what I was stressing about hahaha I'm sure my DF thought the back up was too girly but he knows better then to say so! I kind of told him that he wasn't going to be able to win on what cake he wanted! hahaha I am MEAN. but I swear thats the only thing I'm really putting my foot down with!

I am just afraid they will look too homemade? ya know? I am in the process of trying to pick paper weight....67 seems too light but 110 seems too much!




OH! so when my mom was here we got these wedding magazines and my mom came across a candy set up. and she was like....we should do that!! I wanted one but I didn't want to add more extras! but she suggested it! So now I can have one!!! I neeed to look around and figure out what candies are my colors and prices and such but YAYAYAY!

Btw does anyone know where I can get fancy wedding flats? or small heels? All flats seem so boring!

 

[shippedtosea]

My snow white halloween costume came today!!!! I love it its so pretty! Now I need to convince DF to do the Princess and Pirates party!!!!


YAYAYAY! okay go back to whatever you were doing that is all.

 

[shippedtosea]

I did get it into my head that I wanted a guestbook but didn't want to spend money SOOOOO I recreated the guestbook.com ones and I like them a lot. Now I just have to wait for a coupon for michaels (craft store just incase you don't have them near you) and I can buy this nice scrapbook I saw that I can remove the pages!

WOOHOOO!!! 8 months (and 1 day)

Don't you hate homework??? I get so mad when I think about the fact that I could be planning my wedding instead of doing school work I like the idea of using a scrapbook to make a guestbook! I don't know if you would have the same coupons as I do for Michaels (since I am in Canada), but there are great coupons out here this week! I usually just get them off the internet.

I'm so jealous you are going pumpkin picking! I had a meeting today in the green belt area (were all Ontario's farms are) and I saw so many pumpkin patches, it made me feel so warm inside! Oh, and I have never been to a Six Flags, but I did go to haunted night at Canada's Wonderland, and it was so much fun! Either way, it looks like it will be a good weekend for you!!!!!

Yes, everytime I have to sit and do hw I think I could be doing a wedding project! haha

I will check online for coupons,thanks! I am also going to look at Joann's (another craft store) see what they have.

You should go! hehe I'm way too into it! Can't wait for carving pumpkins. DF is so not into Halloween, I need to help him see how fun it is. I have never been to Canada's wonderland but i'm sure i'd be up for it! I love amusement parks so much (clearly..)Six flags is just an insane amount of rollercoasters shoved into one place.
