After that we head over to Franks, we did the required pictures with us in front fo the doors. We got there about 10 mins early so we went around taking pics of the inside.
Meri came in and we went into the Flora room. We discussed everything WEDDING… how we want our day, ceremony music, cake, and the dessert party. During the beginning planning stages, we opted out of doing a room block. Some of our guests have annual passes (so they can get that discount) and if we did the room block we were told you can not do the dinning plan for our honeymoon. But Meri informed us that even though we didnt do the room block that we still got a free night if our guests booked over 25 nights at a Disney resort. With Jeff's family so big they are using 13 nights alone, with my parents, family friends and then our 6 paid for nights - gets us over the 25!!! So we will stay an extra night and stay at Disney for 7 nights totoal now!!! yeah!!!!!!
We then got to try some cake.
We are doing a 3 tier even though we would have plenty with a 2 tier. I want a certain cake and they can’t do 2 tiers very well with it. We are doing a white cake with the silver ~~And They Lived Happily Ever After~~ with the rhinestone banding and the white chocolate castle on the top. We decided on top tier being marble with milk chocolate filling, middle tier being red velvet with cream cheese filling, and bottom being same as the top marble with milk chocolate filling. Our meeting about the cake ran long because I fell in love with this company that makes Cinderella carriage cake stands, but they charge $700 for one. My dad is extremely handy and is making us one, so I had to get dimensions of the cake and I will need to send those dimensions of the cake stand once we figure it out.
Then we had our meeting with Michelle our floral person. She was very nice. I had brought my 3 inch - 3 ring binder with us and I have 20 tabs in it separating everything…organized yes… know what I want yes…bridezilla maybe LOL
For my bouquet I am using the black red rose…don’t worry it’s not black, just deep deep red. They are almost a burgundy color. And it will have 8 clear Mickey crystals in the bouquet (cause our date is the 8th) and the stems will be wrapped in white satin and have red crystals with hidden Mickey going down the stems. Jeff’s boutonniere will be a single red rose with a hidden Mickey and the stems will also be wrapped in white. The father’s boutonnieres will be a single white rose. The mother’s and grandmother corsages will be able to be pinned or worn around the wrist, they will be spray roses in either red or white (I don’t remember what we picked out).
For the ceremony there will be the $200 amount of silk red rose petals (after this summer they are changing the carpet and cushions in the wedding pavilion to a more neutral color and they are afraid of real red rose petals staining the carpet) sprinkled down the sides and I am supplying our aisle runner from event bella and Disney will put it down for us. We are doing white tulle draped on the pews. And 3 on each side down the aisle of the columns draped in white fabric with the branch centerpieces and they will be moved to reception as centerpieces. We will have petals sprinkled on the alter and I am supplying our own unity candle. The on the brides side of the alter we will do a memorial for the people we have lost – it will be the columns draped with white fabric one for each picture of our lost ones (I will be supplying the picture and picture frame), and one more column draped for a glass hurricane with a white candle and a very small arrangement of white roses – the these will also be moved to reception in the White Hall room.
For the exit I am making our own petal cones, but Disney will be supplying the rose petals in red and white to give it contrast.
For the pre-reception we will be having linens to match inside and chair covers with bows. There will be red rose petals sprinkled on tables and I am providing the centerpieces.
For the reception, we will be having the white crushed romance overlay on the tables and the chair covers with the burgundy satin bow, and the burgundy sating napkin with the rhinestone napkin ring. We will have the silver plate chargers. There will be crystals sprinkled on the tables. We will be using the branch centerpieces (with no butterflies and more crystals) and I am supplying votive candle holders and battery operated candles. On the plate chargers there will be Mickey ears with everyone’s name embroidered as place cards. But we will get the coach chocolate escort cards to be placed outside of White Hall on the marble table. We are getting a price on custom menu cards. The cake table will have clouding and red rose petals and my bouquet will go there. We are doing an Ipod hookup for entertainment.
For the dessert party, we will have black linens and chairs. Note to future brides at Morocco, I think they are trying to make it a no chair dessert party and only do the tall tables…but I fought that issue and we will have 2 tables and 10 chairs and the rest tall tables. For centerpieces we are doing a single cylinder with purple glow gel and 3 of the stars coming out of top.
That place is amazing!!!!
