Ok! So, this morning at 10am, my wedding planner and I conferenced called the Mgr of Citricos. We left a message of what we I wanted. He called back this afternoon and made the reservations! He said he would give all the information to my wedding planner! And she set up our Grand Gathering at Ohanna's the day before for 5pm! :banana: So, dinner is planned for the night before and the day of! :yay:

Congratulations!!! THings are starting to fall in place for you! You'll have a beautiful wedding!!! :goodvibes
 
i was wondering if they serve the cake there and also how do they get from reception to epcot and if you have a price esstimate?
 
I was thinking of having a cake at the Illuminations but havn't gotten a price quote for it yet...I was talking with my Wedding Planner and she said she'd find out. I'll post as soon as I know, and if anyone knows how much a cake at Epcot is, let us know! I'm not sure how it works, but I'm pretty sure you can have one.
 

I talked with Rosie today!!! Yay! :yay: I got lots of great ideas and now I just need to make some final decisions! I need to decide with the colors I'm doing (light gold/champagne and Ivory) if I want to use the Champagne or the Anna Roses. I think both are pink and it may help if I see some in real life. The pics she sent both looked pink and it has even made me think that we might put the flower girls in a pinkish gown! Anyway, I think I'm going to do the Anna Roses and Ivory Calla Lillies with a few Crystal Sprays and a few Crystal Mickeys! And then for the BMs use just the calla lillies. And the Anna Roses in the flower girls' rose wands. I have another conversation set up with her for next monday to make some actual decisions.

As for the centerpieces, mom has finally taken some pics for us all to see!!!
Here they are!

The first pic is of the centerpiece put together without the candle being lit and then next is the etched glass candle holder and the last is of it all lit up! We're thinking they should go on collumns down the Isle of the WP. Rosie suggested doing swags, but I'm not sure yet about that. She said if we use them at the wp then we wouldn't have time to set them up at the cake cutting. :sad2: Now we may need to think of something simple to set up there! :confused3 So, if you have any ideas, I'm open for suggestions! :listen:

I spoke with Randy Chapman today and finalized some times and made sure to book him for the Illuminations DR. He is soooooo nice! The first time I spoke with him we talked for a long time and he sounded truely interested in my family and I! I'm so glad we booked him!

I still have lots left to do. I still have no idea how I want to fix my hair. I don't even have my Tiarra yet!!! I also don't have my wedding jewelry picked out or even my shoes!!!! We don't even have the flower girls dresses picked out! Oh well, I guess I know what all of my days off will consist of till the wedding!
 
It's amusing to me that I am less than two months away from my wedding and I get excited everytime I get a notice that you posted something. You are 5 months away from your wedding and so far ahead of me in your planning! What would I do without y'all?!?! :blush:
I don't have jewelry, a hairstyle, head piece (I dont even know what I want), or shoes . . . ooops! Better get those soon since I have dress fitting coming up! Urgh! You are a SUPER DISBRIDE!
In the immortal words of Wayne's World . . . I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! :worship: :worship: :worship: :worship:
Hee!Hee! Never thought I would get to use that icon! :rotfl:

:blush: Awww, thank you! Sorry I haven't replied earlier. I work in a Jewelry store and Nov starts our Christmas season, actually some start in OCT!!! Anyway, I only get to get on for short periods of time and I haven't even had time to do much Christmas shopping! I feel so bad! I have another talk with Rosie planned for Monday. I need to decide between the Champagne Rose and the Anna Rose. I fianlly saw a pic of a Champagne Rose the other day at a floral shop and I thought it was beautiful but I havn't seen a real good pic of the Anna Rose. Oh well, I guess I'll figure it out by Monday! Hope everything is going well for you! And good luck in your planning, it's getting close! :sunny:

Take care of yourself!

Work was a little crazy, with very long hours, I'm just glad it's all over! Now the crazy people with returns and sizes and this problem and that problem, yay! It's a good thing I'm so patient! Anyway, Christmas itself was nice, a little weird since I didn't go home (to Louisiana) and stayed in VA with my DF. But it was nice. The only planning I got done was the phone conversation with Rosie. At least that was nice! She said she'd get a proposal to me after the new year! I'm a little overwhelmed myself, I could just imagine what you're going through! Good luck and thank you!
 
Ok! So, it's been a little while and a lot has happened since the last update! I've found my Shoes!!!!!:cutie: And I'll post a pic of those as soon as I get my mom to email me the pic I sent her (long story). The pics were taken with my cell phone so they won't be great, but they'll do! Anyway, I went, with my shoes, to my cousin's house (where my gown is hiding) to try on my gown again. Yay! It still fits after the holidays! :rotfl: I was so worried I might have gained weight with all the extra food, but I think working the extra hours kinda got rid of the extra! Well, the other day my sister went to order her gown and while doing so, my mom found a gown at the same site we were going to order her gown at! And it's more perfect than the one we decided to go with!!!! And it goes with the Matron of Honor's Maternity gown! Yay! So, here are the pics of the NEW BM dresses:

Of course, they'll be in a gold color. (it's hard to choose the color from the online fabric chart though!)

And the Matron's M-BM dress:

I put it in a color that was close to the champagne. I hope it's not that yellow, though!

And we found the flower girl dresses too!!!! (see we got lots done lately!)

This is little Ariel posing for the camera in her LaLa Flower Girl Dress! (she's 5 and will be 6 by the wedding) This next pic is of her and her 7 yr. old sister!

Aren't they just too cute?!!

And, we spoke with Rev. Tim Hearing yesterday and he is available for our wedding! So, we are pretty sure we'll be using him for the ceremony!

(see what you can do when you're home sick! :sick:)

We also have our design for our Welcome Bags! Thanks to Deb on the Creative DISign board!

I also decided on the style of the cake! I don't know who's cake this is, but it was posted on a cake thread a while back. I fell in love with the style and the part that has the scroll work, I'm going to have them use the design on my wedding gown!!! Yay!:yay: I'm getting so excited!

And I posted a thread about needing help choosing the flavors! And oh boy do I!! So many yummy flavors to choose from! As of right now, I'm thinking of doing a yellow cake with milk chocolate moose w/fresh strawberries layer and a layer of marble cake with white chocolate moose w/fress rasberries! Don't know what to do the thrid layer in yet! :idea: To all of those that posted on my flavor idea thread, thank you! :flower3:

I can't wait for my princess: day! I still have so much to do, but I feel like I've got a lot more done recently! Had to take a break due to the :santa: season, unfourtunatly! But, hopefully, I'll be able to get back on track here soon! I think there's something I'm forgetting, but if I remember anything, I'll make sure to post it soon!
 
Yay! :yay: Mom emailed me my shoe pics! Without further ado, the shoe:
