Dolly is absolutely amazing and I love everything she has designed for me.

I was able to find playing cards at the Dollar Tree for $1.00 for a two deck package. Not too bad. I am in the process of getting things together for a gift bag. I will list the items I have found so far:

Tylenol
Sewing Kit
Wet Wipes
Hand Sanitizer
Mini First Aid Kit
Playing cards
Hershey Bar
Sunscreen
Disney Pens
Disney Post It notes
Disney Mints

I am working on a couple of other little things as well.

You are really coming along! I am also doing welcome bags as my favors...we are getting the canvas bags from lands end in the pink color as the shoulder loops as our wedding colors are pink/green

My middle name is also Ann btw! lol We have a lot in common

Love that dress! You look beautiful! I started reading Amanda's journal because of all her craftiness, but I just love weddings and can't quit reading everyone's now!

OK, things are moving right along. I got my dress and my tiara.

For the tiara, Amanda (another Disney bride) posted a picture of this tiara. I fell in love with it so she graciously told me she got it a store called The Sewing Room in Maitland. I showed it to my sister, Tina, and she agreed that it would be perfect. We got in the car and drove to Maitland in search of the tiara. Luckily, Maitland was only 30 minutes away and they had it. SO- infinite "thank yous" to Amanda for sharing where she bought hers! Notice the hidden Mickey right in the front of it. I really didn't want my wedding to scream Disney even though we are getting married on Castaway Cay.

YAY!! I love the selection of tiaras they have, so pretty expecially in person! The pictures don't do justice!!!

You look so pretty in your dress!! It looks perfect for the beach!! Did you say you got it at David's Bridal?

You are right Amanda. Very reasonable too. Thank you again for helping me out by letting me know where you got it. I never would have thought that place sold wedding things by driving by it.

Thank you so much! Yes, I got it at David's Bridal. It is a really light ivory and also comes in white. I thought I was going to get a white dress but the one I tried on was ivory and I fell in love!

We are going tomorrow to look at Bridesmaid dresses...can't wait! I am having my 2 sisters and my FSIL. My niece, who is turning 5 will be my flower girl. Woo hoo!!!!

We had great luck today! I thought the guys shirts were going to be the hardest. We found a Tommy Bahama shirt that is perfect! I will post pictures on here tomorrow. I will also post pictures of the girls dresses. Do you know what suit you are getting or do you have something in mind??

 

[PrincessTinker11]

Cannot wait to see! We did not have as much luck LOL Rob did not fit in any of the suits they had at Kohls they were all too tight around the arms so now I am going to have to go to a place and have him completely measured, hope it don't cost us an arm and a leg!

We did get his khakis for the wedding ceremony and a new bathing trunks for swimming...glad you made so much progress...I fell like I am slowly getting there!

I will. I just haven't had time to upload pics. I was going to do it Monday night and got sucked into The Bachelor. LOL Last night I had a PTA meeting at my school and didn't have the energy to do it. SO...I will do it tonight, hopefully!

 

[PixieDust1969]

OK, so we went to David's Bridal and were able to find dresses. Geoff and I are each having our siblings stand up for us. I have 2 sisters and he has a sister and brother. My niece and nephew (they are cousins to each other) will be our flower girl and ring bearer. They are both 5.

So here is the dress. It will be in clover green.

None of the girls wanted strapless so we bought extra chiffon and they will have halters made to look like the top of this dress. This dress is actually the color they will be wearing.

Finally, my niece will wear this dress in clover, the same color as the girls.

They all really liked the dresses and they are all ordered... We bought flip flops in the same clover color to wear on the beach.

Love the flip flops. They are actually my bridal shoes (in blue). I have rhinestones to add to make them sparkle.
