Wow. I love everything you have done so far. I love the green you have picked, very fresh and vibrant. Bow tie is very cool. I woud love to get Chris to wear one but he is a casual outfit kinda guy so I don't think it's gonna happen somehow.

Also, your bouquet idea is gorgeous, very vintage looking. I'll definately be reading along with you

OMG!! Your STD's are SO cute! Your planning seems to be going very well so far! Love the flowers and the color of the dresses too!

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.

Thanks I've been looking for other people who are using outside florists!

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!

Yea I remember reading your PJ! maybe we'll run into each other on the Boardwalk. Thanks for the compliments! and we can keep each other on track! lol

The bowtie was all his choice! I figured I'd let him do his thing! Thanks, I'm going for the vintage feel!

Thanks so much! the STDs were a lot of work

I got my contract in my email today. good right? not so much
I read the whole thing and some of the numbers were off. We're having our cocktail hour from 1-2 and our reception begins at 2. Everything I've discussed with my consultant has communicated that we will be under the lunch minimums. Which means $100pp for F&B and $10,000 overall...except it says $125pp for F&B and $12,000 overall Really? I wait 2 weeks for this document that is I'm sure is fairly standard and I finally get it and its wrong?!? I know its no big deal but not only was it wrong but I called her, not 10 minutes after the document was sent to have it corrected and she didn't answer. Whatever, its just aggravating.

My contract was all messed up too. I emailed my consultant and told him everything that needed to be changed and he told me just to change it myself with pen and then they would fix it... so I hope they really fix everything. I can totally see why you are aggravated. You are spending a lot of money so things should be done right! I'm sure they will fix it for you but I know how you feel after waiting so long the last thing you want is mistakes.

I am sorry to hear that your contract came wrong But it is good that you caught it right away - they will be able to fix it for you no problem!

Wow, if they told me that I would have used a red pen and the brightest highlighter I could find! and i'd keep a copy for myself! lol I'm glad someone else understand my frustration!

She did fix it right away, as a matter of fact she emailed me the revised version today! I intend to send it in on Saturday because I'm not going to see DF until then so he can sign it.

The only other thing is The STDs say Yacht Club and last time I checked Ariel's was in the Beach Club, but I'm wondering if I should even worry about it. I mean people might look at it once and never look at it again and I guarantee that almost no one will remember what the STD said. Its just a matter of technicalities and things being "correct" but in the same vein, if people do remember and it's wrong I don't want that to cause confusion.

HOLY RUN ON SENTENCE BATMAN! my 4th grade teacher would kill me! lol

[BecBennett]

I love your save the dates! I wouldn't worry about it saying YC on them instead of BC, I always think of them as the same resort, sorta like POR AB & Mansions

I like your bouquets, they've got sorta the colour in them that I want.

 

[Kristinella]

Just got caught up on your planning...I like it that you are a few steps ahead of me! That means I can follow your planning and see if you have any of the same questions that I do...and you will get answers first

The save the dates are so cute! I LOVE my circuit too...such a great invention!!! Keep up the good work

 

[Mrs. Darcy]

I FOUND MY HEADPIECE!!!

I plan on wearing it with my hair back and in curls and little volume/wave/curl(s) in the front, very vintage-y...but thats pretty much how the whole thing is working out lol

I bought it on etsy and its from the 1930s! I'm so excited I found such a unique vintage piece and it was only $22!!
That frees up a lot of my accessories budget for shoes!! lol

Just caught up on your PJ - thanks for posting on mine! I love, love, love your bridesmaid dresses and the fact that there are 4 different styles to choose from. I think a lot of people offer choices these days but a friend of mine (in her late 40s) was just in a wedding where her dress looked like a bad prom dress (think watermelon pink strapless mini skirt ). Everyone wore the same style and she was sooo bummed about it because they offered different styles in the same color. Very considerate of you - and fun color!

Your Save the Dates were completely adorable. They looked like a lot of work but I bet everyone loved them! Did you keep one for yourself? I would have!

As I mentioned in my PJ, your dress is great and now, seeing your headpiece, it is all coming together nicely! Love that vintage feel! Waiting for the next update...

Thank you! that bridesmaid dress dilemma is exactly what I didn't want to end up with! If you pick it its your problem right?! lol j/k I did keep a couple extra of the STDs! lol I couldn't let all those babies go! Thanks for the compliment on the dress! I was actually very anti-halter when I found it but I fell in love with the rest of the dress and I figured if worse come to worse I can always have it made into a strapless!

Oh and we got our planner! her name is Michelle Wenzler! I'm so excited! I haven't spoken with her yet but she sent me an email!!

 

[lzimm13]

Soooo...Im having dress doubts...Well lets start from the beginning.

I called the dress shop tuesday. I wanted to let them know that I was gonna come up and pickup/pay off my dress. I get this message that says "this number has been temporarily disconected." um, excuse me...what do you mean disconnected? I immediately think of those horror stories that you hear of brides who have given dress shops all this money and the store goes out of business and they have no dress and no money. So I drive up there like a mad woman. I get there and they're open, they're switching service providers...ok no big, crisis averted. I paid and went to look at shoes while the woman got my dress. She comes to get me and picks up the dress and marches straight out the door to my car. Didn't even unzip the bag so I could see it. I get home and try it on and I don't feel the same way I did when I bought it. Theres no. and i start thinking about how this is my only chance to wear a princess dress and I've never done it before, I'll never have the chance to do it again. And then I feel like this:

I talked to my mom about it this morning. She thinks I've just "moved on" that I more into the rest of the planning and this isn't what I'm excited about anymore(but I want to be excited about my dress).She keeps telling me its a gorgeous dress( I'm not doubting that its beautiful) and it's totally me (its very unlike her to endorse anything as "me") that even when I was looking for a dress for my first communion she wanted to put me in a poofy dress and I wanted nothing of the sort. So i'm just really puzzled right now...I'm gonna go look at other dresses tomorrow, maybe I'll cure myself. I think I might need to detach myself from it. If not there may be a dress for sale soon.

That being said here are some pictures.The back

The front

and my dress hanging next to his suit! o0o0o

Oh and if you think I'm crazy just let me know
