So school has ended(yay for graduation!) and I've been lurking long enough! Its time to start a PJ.

The Basics: we're looking at a June 6, 2011 Reception at Ariel's with a Church ceremony at Corpus Christi in Celebrations. We also want an EPCOT dessert party. YAY! PJ officially started! Pictures and more details soon!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding! Celebration is absolutely beautiful!

 

[lzimm13]

Thanks I can't wait to actually see it in person! lol

THis is the church

and we all know what Ariel's looks like right?.. good!

Moving right along...THE DRESS


I love it! That by the way is not my veil or my head piece just something to try on.

hmmm...what am I missing? . . . .OH! I suppose I'm missing the story of us! Yes!

Well it all started about 3 years ago. I was 19 and a server at a restaurant called Cheeseburger in Paradise. He was 23 and rooming with the female bartender because they had been friends forever. Soon he got a job as a bus boy more for social purposes than anything else (he already had a 9-5) He soon began dating another one of the servers who happened to have the same last name as me and for some reason didn't like me much at all. We'll call her Jen. So Eric and I became friends in the way that people at work do. Meanwhile, Jen felt threatened and couldn't handle Eric being friends with me. She fought with him regularly about me, all of this aside from her other crazy antics. When Eric finally made me aware of the situation it was much too late. No matter if we ignored each other at work or if we joked around like normal she would always find something to nitpick and yell at him for. After 3 months they broke up and 3 months after that Eric and I began dating! Ever since we have been inseparable and he proposed January 30, 2010 while we were sitting on the couch at 2am


Yay! Right now we're waiting for June 1st to have our lottery because of the new 16 month rule, Other than that Save the Dates are in progress and I can't wait to post pictures of those!

Looking forward to reading more x

so today is June 1st! the day many of us Disney brides have been waiting for! My location and date have officially been submitted to be approved. I should be able to continue with the paperwork on Thursday!
So in honor of these developments I thought I'd update!
STYLE BOARD!

I'll only have 3 Bridesmaids but I'm going to give them a choice of those 4 dresses. My lovely groom will be wearing the green bowtie as pictured above, that was his choice! and the groomsmen will be wearing the european style ties, cause no one is allowed to wear a bowtie like him! but all the suits will be tan like the groomsmen one shown above.
I also plan to make my own bouquet out of preserved flowers but I want it to look something like that.

Just tuning in...Congrats!!!...Very cute inspiration board, can't wait to read more

Those bridesmaid dresses are really cute and that green is really different, I don't think I've seen a wedding with that shade, it looks really good! Especially with that yellow!

 

[lzimm13]

Thanks guys! I love those dresses. I <3 inverted pleats! lol That shade of green is called appletini! love it! Initially the yellow was supposed to be more of a gold because of the gold accents in my dress but I'm thinking about incorporating that yellow now just cause it looks so good! lol

 

[sarah_n_brian2006]

Congrats on everything so far working out for your wedding!! I can't wait to hear more of your plans!!

 

[lzimm13]

So there are a few little updates. I emailed Root Photography because I can't find anything that even compares to their photos! but I got an out of office reply so I'm still waiting to hear back from them. I think they're out of our price range but I'll find something to cut just to have them. Plus I heard they give a discount to Disney couples..can anyone confirm that?

Other than that I got a wedding website set up to get some preliminary RSVPs in. I know Disney gives you a site but I don't know when that will be set up and I need a URL to put on the Save the Dates and I don't know how useful it will actually be. The site is www.mywedding.com/ericandlarisa

The other thing is I've been doing some test runs with the save the dates and they're looking awesome! I can't wait to post pictures! THey're going to be little suitcases!!

 

[pink_tink8i8]

congrats!

 

[lzimm13]

SO long time no post! but I've gotten a lot done! We made save the dates and sent them out
I made tiny mickey tags

And I put them on mini suitcases!!!

and we put these stamps on the envelopes!

They were so cute when they went out! I wish I took more pictures of them.
In other news I've booked the roots! I'm so excited about the pictures I can hardly contain myself I'm also in the process booking Patricia LeJuene...If I ever get a response to my email. AND I'm talking to Debbie at atmosphere florals and probably 2 other florist to get a proposal! I'll post my floral inspiration tomorrow! because its 5:30 am

Your save the dates are so cute! That is a great idea, your guests will love them. Congrats on booking the Roots, their photos are amazing and you won't be disappointed

 

[helloirishkitty]

Congrats on booking the roots! They were out of my budget but I love looking at their pictures!

The church in Corpus Christi is so pretty- I love how it looks right out at the water!

Are your bridesmaids dresses from J Crew? I am looking for something similar but I can't find any styles that I like at the traditional bridal places.

 

[Sccrmnky2005]

I love everything so far!! Your dress looks wonderful from what I can see!!

I'm a big DIY bride and I've been a huge scrapbooker for 8 years, so I love the STD's!!! Great job!

They were originally out of my budget too but I moved a few things around and decided to use my bonus from work to get them! I haven't actually seen the church yet in person! lol My parents are down there now (so jealous) and they should be coming home with pictures for me! The dresses are actually from Dessy (www.dessy.com) they have a ton of different dresses and colors!

Thanks! The STDs took forever but they were so worth it! and an awesome excuse to buy a cricut! lol

 

[lzimm13]

and now my floral inspiration!!!






Originally I was going to do my own floral out of tapioca wood flowers and parchment floweres and preserved roses but it started to look a little expensive so I have been looking at outside florists to get an idea of how much it would cost for this project to be someone else's headache!
So far I have contacted lee forrest (no response yet) Atmosphere florals ( I like debbie and I have a proposal from her) and dream designs florals (who I have a phone consultation scheduled for Thursday!) So soon I'll let every one know how that goes!

 

[Disney9.9.10]

I love the floral inspiration pics! Your bouquet is going to look lovely! I know that Puente0629 (I think I got that right) is using an outside florist (that she has been really happy with), and she is really helpful, so if you need anything I am sure she would lend a hand.

 

[*Pixiedust1438*]

We have the same date so I figured I should follow your PJ to see how behind I am in planning! LOL. You have a lot done already and everything looks great so far. Can't wait to see pictures of the church!
