Kayla&Wesley's 2013 Wishes DFTW!:)

Okay. So I had this great long update typed out and my browser went coo coo ca chu and lost it all!:confused: So now I am retyping it all! So bear with me! I've been contemplating the idea of what to get for our wedding party. They are our closest friends and i have known all of them since at least i was 6 years old! So i really want the gifts to mean something special, and i don't want to skimp on them! Lol. As far as BM gifts go, I want to create an " BM Survival Kit". It can contain Aspirin, Nail file, Flop Flops, etc. I want it all to be contained in a drawstring back pack that is monogrammed with their names on it, that way they can use it in the parks to carry whatever! I found an adorable poem on Pinterest that coincides with a BM Survival Kit and thought i would share it with y'all. I personally think its adorable, so here it is:

"This Survival Kit was made just to say, I'm thrilled you're beside me on my wedding day! There's chocolate to give you that sugar high, and a packet of tissues in case you should cry. Lip gloss to help you care for your smile and If a nail should break, I've included a file. There is Shout if you should spill on your dress and lifesavers to keep your breath minty fresh. There's Aleve and Tums if it's ill that you feel and Band-aids to help you tackle those high heels. I've put everything in this handy pack so you'll know that this bride has got your back! This kit was created so that you can see how much you mean to the bride-to-be!"

I want to Put the survival kits in with the welcome bags, so when the welcome bags are delivered to each room the BM will have a little something extra. As far as an actual gift goes, I want to purchase my BM's earrings for them( Which i havnt even looked at), and get them a plain white button down shirt with their initials monogrammed on the pocket to wear on the day of the wedding. Their initials can be in pink, and mine in blue!:) Like this:

I also want to pick up the bridal tee disney makes for the BM's to give to them, along with a hand written thank you letter! I would give them the shirts, earrings, and letter at the rehearsal dinner! (Ohana).

Here's the shirt:

Well As far as the GM go, im a little baffled:confused3 So since the BM got survival Kits, I think the GM should too. Especially since all of them like whats going to be IN the survival kits;)

Hahahahah. I think they will appreciate that! As far as actual gifts go, Wes was thinking about getting Beer glasses and etching them with something, He's not sure yet! As far as other things wedding go...

The Guestbook!
-I want to make my own guestbook on blurb, like another DISbride I saw. It came out beautifully!
-I also want to put a plain Vinylmation on each table at the reception for the guest to sign as a more concrete keepsake to put in our Disney Room.

Like this:

How adorable is that?!:)
I wish my wedding was more of a whimsical/ carnival theme cause we could do this:


A TOY STORY CANDY BAR!!!!!

Maybe that will help another DISbride out, i love the idea. Its just too cute!
Well im off for now, I have to scramble up something for my DF for Valentines Day! :cool1: Were not to big on this holiday so it will probably just be a card, and Dinner!

:)
 
Congratulations on getting engaged.

Love your babies, they are so cute.

Look forward to hearing more of your plans and how the engagement shoot turns out. My partner and I aren't photogenic either, been together over year and half and no photos together LOL.

Good luck on saturday with the tattoo, hopefully it will lhave healed in time for the photo shoot.
 
I missed a bunch of updates!! Your e-pics sound fun, 40 degrees to me right now would be perfect weather! hahaha But I'm sure down there, brrrr!

I love the kits for your BM's, I might do them too! I am having waffle robes embroidered for my girls but also saw the button down shirts and debated them. cute! I am thinking of giving my girls their jewelry or whatever I give at the RD, then giving them the personalized robes to wear in the morning getting ready (and to make sure no one forgets theirs for pictures)

My girls are wearing pink one-shoulder short chiffon dresses by Bari Jay. I :love: them! IDK if most people do, but I did for my sister's wedding and we did for mine- once you find a BM dress you like, look for it online! My girls' dresses should have been over $200, but we got them for $128 each with shipping online.

As an idea for your floral with the reception, our floral was realllly high in the beginning. We are using roman tables (long tables of 20) rather than rounds so we have 7 arrangements down each table. We changed our flowers to clear cyclinders, filled with white orchids and topped with a floating candle. I think theyre super pretty and cost saving (even more if you take the orchids out). just a thought, I know you have some time to go!

For the 2k deposit, once you are sure of your date, they send the contract to hold your spaces, and you send it back with the 2k deposit. Once it's received your planner is assigned and you go from there! You must be able to reserve by now if you want since you're 12 mos out. Also, not sure if you know it but you mentioned your MIL was going to get you annual passes- you get 2 annual passes for you and DF with a wishes wedding. They will come to you in the mail (vouchers) once your contract and deposit are received. FYI on that! :goodvibes

Good luck dress shopping and with your e-pics!!
 

Love your dress options! They're popular here on the boards.. and for good reason-- just gorgeous dresses! I love your bouquet inspiration too!

Your survival kit ideas are great-- love it!

We considered doing the Vinylmation for our guest book too.. such an awesome idea! I love it!

Post a pic of your tattoo when you get it done!

Lol. Thats how we are too! We just don't take very many photo's, and it became a problem cause i attempted to make a scrapbook for him at Christmas and I had nothing to put in it except like ten photo's. Lol, In fact all my stuff is still sitting in my truck!;)

Oh yeah! Thats way to cold for me! Especially on the beach with the wind blowing like crazy! We would have been whisked away! Lol. :)

I considered doing the robes too! I Wish i could just win the lotto that way i could get monogrammed robes, shirts, bags, pants, etc. Lol!:rotfl2: I might need to give them theirs on the morning of too because i have some pretty forgetful bridesmaids!

OOOHHHH! Your BM dresses sound beautiful!:goodvibes I want something one shouldered for sure, if i cant find anything than probably strapless! I just need something thats going to compliment all of my BM's, as their body types are all very different!

Thanks for the info on the deposit and all! I was so confused on how it all works but i got it now:) I knew we got AP but for some reason I figured we didn't get them until the wedding! So that's awesome!:cool1: Im going to be making the call tomorrow! YAY!:)

Thanks! I like those styles of dresses, or so I think, since I've yet to try a single dress on! Lol. I just love the Vinylmation ideas, though I've yet to check the prices on them yet, so im hoping it doesn't come out too much for all of them:confused3

I sure will!:D Im kind of scared though, I only have one tattoo and it hurt SO bad, so now im nervous!
 
Hello gals:)

I feel like it has been forever since I've been one here! Lol. Not to many updates on the wedding front, but a few minutes ago I did call Disney Fairy Tale Weddings!:cool1:I was so excited, even though she was just asking the most basic questions. Haha. It just finally feels like im actually starting to plan my dream wedding. A wedding consultant is suppossed to call me within the next 2-3 business days! So I will be anxiously awaiting that phone call!

I also had to cancel my engagement shoot AGAIN!! Yes, Im so aggravated. This is the second time i have had to reschedule due to weather! First time it was way to cold, and then yesterday it was rainy and very windy! So we are now going to do the shoot this sunday, February 26, at 8:30 a.m! Its supposed to be hot and sunny, So lets hope mother nature doesn't change her mind!:headache:

I also think i am going to be changing my wedding colors from white, blue, and pink to white, blue, and green! I found a picture of a bouquet and the colors just go beautifully together!
c89da5d6.jpg


I really love everything about this bouquet, it is simple to me which is exactly what i need because I am not a flower person! Lol.

Also, Do i need to have a flower girl and ring bearer? Because i don't really have any young children in my family and quite honestly I don't really think i need them but what do y'all think?! I also started to look at a few dresses online and I found one Maggie Sottero dress that I really like that I can get from a local boutique for only 250.00$! It's this one:
00e3ac25.jpg

I really like it!:) And it's so cheap that i almost cant believe it! That's it as far as updates go, im waiting to talk to my consultant for the first time to make me realize that I am really getting married!:love: Im down to one year to go, and I just feel SO behind! But ONLY 24 DAYS UNTILL I LEAVE FOR DISNEY!:banana: and only 12 days until my 21st birthday! I cant wait! All my bridesmaids and I are going on a 4 night 3 day Girls Trip! Were gonna be staying at POP century, and were getting a 4 day PH and on are last day are spending a half a day in the parks. I've already made my ADR. On Friday the 16th EPCOT has magic hours that night, so we have a dinner reservation at San Angel Inn! That's also where were gonna start drinking around the world!:) I've never ate there before but i have always wanted too, so I hope its good! On Saturday the 17th, We have lunch ressies at %0's Prime Time, And I cant wait! I love that place!:love: That night there are no EMH so were gonna go to Downtown Disney and go to Paradisio 37, i think its called, and get our drinks on!:goodvibes On Sunday we have an ADR at Ohana, then going to the MK until 2 AM!:cool1: Monday were leaving around 2,after we eat at the Crystal Palace!:) Im so stoked! Im making Disney CD's so on the way down there we can jam out to Disney Classic songs! Sorry for the long rant.


TTFN!

Thank you:)
I'm totally loving the dress and that price, for sure. I just don't know if I will like the big, poofy, dress on me. Lol. I always though I would be a mermaid style gown or something.

It's nice to know people are actually reading my pj, and I'm not just some loser typing to myself. Lol. :rotfl2:
 
LoL! You aren't a loser! :) I'm totally following along!
But honestly, I felt the same way about pj's. That's why I haven't done one. I'm about the 7th month mark, but I guess I felt like no one would read it.
Hm.. I think you've inspired me to do one tho!
Roll Tide! hehe

That dress is stunning!! For $250, how can you NOT get it?! Get it!!!! :rotfl:

The bouquet you posted is really pretty, what kind of flowers are those? Very pretty! :goodvibes

Having a girls weekend in Disney sounds awesome!! That is something I've always wanted to do since I was little I think, I bring it up all the time but never get a group to go- until our wedding! I can't wait!! :)

Can't wait to hear about it!
 
So sorry you had to cancel your shoot again!! I hope it works out for this saturday!

I love love love that bouquet! Gorgeous!

Totally don't need to have kids in your wedding- we aren't.

That gown is STUNNING. GET IT!!

I know, right?! I found a store that carries that dress so Im going to try it on on March 3rd, when we go dress hunting! I just don't think i can pass up that dress for only 250$!!

I do adore that bouquet, I think the blue flowers are Gerber Daisys, and im not sure about the green! Looks to be some sort of Lily or something !

I cant wait to go! Wealways planned to take a girls trip but it never happened! Lol. SO im surprised that were actually going through with it this time!
:banana:

Thank you! The bouquet and dress are amazing! I love them!:lovestruc

Ok! good! Were just gonna have his four GM and my four BM!:)
 
Hello everyone!

Guess what?!
DISNEY CALLED ME YESTERDAY!
Yes! But sadly, I missed the call because me and my DF were Diving! However, she followed up the call with an email and we have scheduled a phone appointment tomorrow at 1 PM! Our Coordinater is Stacey Meacham, and so far she has been very nice and prompt! So tomorrow after we get done with our appt I will deff be updating! :goodvibes

But with ggod news also come bad news..
My ex best friend and MOH, has decided to start a nasty rumor about me saying that I cheated on my DF one night at a bar. She told his BM and his BM believes her because he is in love with this girl! She is so immature! All my friends were with me that night and she is gonna make up stories to try ruin my wedding! UGH!! Well Df's BM has never really liked me, and he was engaged once at it ended badly, so ever since then he has believed that all women are evil, manipulative, beings! Well Wes does not appreciate him believing her and belittling me, so he is no longer the best man! Wes booted him from the wedding last night so he is trying to figure out who he is going to replace him with! I say good riddance!!!!!!:headache:

Phew, now that i have that out of my system, i have a question for you ladies!:) When is the proper time to send out the STD's? Im getting married in February 2013, so maybe july? I also loved Tricia's STD's from Minted.com very cute and informative and was thinking of doing something like that instead! But I really do love the postcard STD from Etsy, so im thinking of maybe sending those out along with a newsletter to give everyone the details they need? So what do ya'll think?

Reception! I have been struggling for the longest time trying to decide where to have the reception at! I really like the atmosphere at California Grill but you don't get to customize a menu there! I also really like the Whitehall Room at the GF! I am not having a formal wedding at all, something casual and laid back, but classy! So my i just want a nice modest reception, nothing over the top, just a nice meal, and some light dancing!:woohoo: Anyone know of any nice outside reception locations not to far from the GF, I don't want my guests to have to do too much traveling! Because after the reception, Im having an Illuminations DP! YAYAYAYAY!:cheer2:

I have also been scouting out some bridesmaids dresses, here are a few I like:
6ca21c81.jpg

This one is very simple, and cheap, and is only 99$ at David's Bridal.


6710d09c.jpg

Love the one shoulder strap!


and this one! I think this one is an AA, and is the most pricey by far!

Phew! This post is getting a little lengthy, so ill BRB!;)
 
My last BM dress Picture didn't post. Lets try again!

a764d54a.jpg


Once again AA dress, and very pricey!

As I've mentioned before, my budget is exactly the 12,000 minimum required for wishes. I don't have very much room for splurging, especially on centerpieces and flowers and such. Im not very crafty, or creative so I will take ANY help I can get. So I was thinking. On each table at the reception to have a wine glass, or two, as my centerpieces. Put gems or flower petals around base of them like so:

17f45a60.jpg


and try to make wine glasses as the centerpiece.

cd2b2abe.jpg


Maybe something like that?! But with my colors and flower choice.
or maybe switch the wine glass right side up and put something in them like water with a light blue dye in it, and put a plain floating candle on top!? Idk. I feel like all my ideas suck. Lol. And each table could be named after a princess , I would attach those personalized wire wine glass tags to the bottom of each wine glass at the designated table. I like this too!
700ce02b.jpg


The small Martini glass with glowing stuff, but instead of the straw and olive hanging out, get a flower to hang out instead, with the gems around the bottom?!

I need some help gals!:worship:

Also as far as photography goes, I need some help on who to pick! I want more artsy, fun shots rather than the plain jane wedding photo's. I kind of want them whimsical and fun! And I dont think Disney Photography will be the best choice because I've heard not so great thing about them here on the boards! So any advice?!


Well I am also going to book our 3 year anniversary Disney trip next week, Im going to surprise DF when he gets off work on the 13th, and already have his stuff packed and ready to go in the car! But I just don't wanna be like " hey were going to Disney, Right now" I want to do it in a creative way that maybe coincides with our anniversary. Any ideas on that DISbrides?!:confused:

Well I think I have blabbered enough today! So I'm going to leave you ladies with a few pictures of Wesley's first trip to Disney, in order to get my head rolling for ideas on how to surprise him!:)

Right when we got to the MK about to go to MNSSHP!

Us in Line at Pirates!
