John and Jessica's Wedding - - June 2010 SBP

[Boston Disney Bride]

So, I've been trying to find a davids bridal dress that I like as much as the Alfred Angelo dresses that I fell in love with. I found one tonight that I think would be AMAZING with my hair choice and makeup.

I'm excited to try it on and hopefully fall in love, since its like half the price of the A.A. dress.

The dress is gorgeous!

One thing about AA dresses, you have to go during a great sale, I bought my dress for $450 when it was regularly almost 700. Their dresses are pricey but if you love it just hold out for that sale. Also, sign up for their emails, you get coupons and discounts all the time, follow them on Facebook too, they post deals there too. And I just got an email that they're having sample sales in store as of Dec. 3. If you fit in the dress you can buy the sample they have in store for a great price.

There is no AA store near me....I have to go to Authorized sellers and they don't offer the same sales I wish I could find "the dress" for $400...thanks anyways!!

I finished my Mickey Pomander today for my flower girl. She is my niece and only going to be 22months old, so I made a mini one for her...

Great work on the flowers. Lovely jewelery.

I can make my dining reservations this Tuesday and need to know what I need to have readily available when I make this phone call...what time should I call or can I make reservations for 13 people online? Do I need all the people in my party reservation numbers or just ours? Someone please give me the run down of what I need to do. THanks in advance

The pomander is so cute! Great job! How nice of your DF to surprise you with the earrings, that's very sweet of him. I like your wedding band, the one I want is similar to that. I don't think you can ever go wrong with diamonds!

For the ADR's. I think it opens at 7 am EST. I would call as close to 7 am as you can, especially if you want hard to get ADR's (Le Cellier, CRT, etc).

You just need your own reservation number and a phone number that you'll want to give them. The reservation number is needed because as a Disney guest you can make ADR's for the following 10 days which is a perk. If you weren't staying at a Disney resort you'd need to call every day or wait until your last day's window opened.

With group reservations I would just call. I know you can use the regular ADR for up to a certain # of people but not really sure how many people that is. If you aren't able to do it online, you don't really want to waste your time with that. They would be able to transfer you to the right department right away.

Great job on the pomander! She'll look so cute with it. The jewelry is really pretty too, gotta love a DF that gets you earrings for no reason . You're ahead of me when it comes to the rings! We still haven't looked at rings yet, but we'd like to get matching wedding bands. My DF's father also gave him his grandmother's wedding ring (in addition to my engagement ring), but I'm not sure if I want to use it!

Did you make your dinner reservations? I know that we called Citricos directly more than 190 days before to find out information and they sent us a fixed menu for large parties. The assistant on the phone put our date on her calender and at exactly 190 she added our reservation for us! She said that they don't typically get such large reservation requests and sometimes brides even show up with their wedding guests without a reservation, so it made us feel pretty good for being on top of it .

I havent had many updates lately..so I havent posted in a few days...but here are a few!

-I ordered our cake topper and I finally received it today! We love skiing(Df more than me..but I love it too) So I found the cutest ski wedding couple topper and had to buy it....DF doesnt know so I think it will be a cute small surprise for him...at least he'll know that I'm trying to make this day about us..even though he is doing so much of this Disney wedding for me.
-I have been emailing my coordinator about getting prices on a grooms cake for the rehearsal dinner...she hasnt given me prices yet, but I think when I get them, they will be outrageous..so any feedback would be great about other bakery options...etc.
-I decided on flowers, I will be using Pink Gerbera daisies for my bouquet and DF's bout. I will be making the BM's bouquets and groomsmen bouts with silk gerbera daisies in a darker shade of pink.
-I bought the cutest wedding notebook that I have been using to put everything in. I
-Dress shopping in T-minus 12 days!!
-wedding diet update!! My original weight goal was 115lbs.. I'm 5'4 and before engaged weighed around 130..never overweight..just wanted to look the best I could for my wedding day... So I went on weight watchers..and lost the weight wayyy to quickly, so I lowered my goal weight to 110lbs..well this morning I weighed myself and was 113lbs..so I'm soo, soo close I'm so happy, I never thought that I would have the will power that I've shown so I'm really proud of myself...
-Invitations are almost done, I just have to work on their presentation..they will be getting delivered in a A7 box with rose petals covering the invitation inside the box

What a beautiful love story~~
I wish you happiness.
P.S: I`m wondering the day when I put on my wedding dress and kiss my Mr.Rght...

 

[weedee]

Sounds like everything is going well! I really wanted a new cake topper that was of Ariel and Prince Eric when they get married...but it's $200 . So we might just stick with the provided one because it's cute too! Let us know how dress shopping goes! Congrats on getting close to your goal weight, you'll get there soon! And your invitations sound really neat, can't wait to see them!

 

[weedee]

Hey Jessica! I hope you had a merry Christmas! Aren't you going dress shopping soon?? Woohoo can't wait to hear how it went, good luck!!

 

[Boston Disney Bride]

I bought my dress today!!!! I'll post pictures soon.....I went in saying what I didn't want and came out buying exactly that!! What I didn't want. I'm just so happy to finally have the dress!!!!! I LOVE IT

 

[pezaddict231]

Congrats! I can't wait to see pictures! I actually used to work as a bridal consultant and you'd be surprised how often that really happens. With any dress you can't really tell until it's on you. That's why it's always good to try on everything because you just never know!

How exciting!
