Nicole & Colin 4/12/13, WP, ADH, UK/DP **5/23 Update - Wedding Dress Pictures!!!

HI!
I can't wait to see your dress options! :yay: I love your color scheme. I think blue and green go really well together. I like the second dress better, and I like the ivory trim! PRETTY!
As for a second darker color, I wanted dark navy blue for my primary color and I was against all other colors. So I was the opposite, I had all these dark colors and needed a light one.
It was my florist that suggested I add a light blue with the navy! I was like UGH and BLAH! But with the dark blue color of my BM dresses, they'll be carrying a light blue and white bouquets. There will also be light blue flower accents in the center pieces. I was against it at first, but really came to love it when he explained it. So, if you wanted to do a darker color to contrast with your shade of blue and green, consider maybe doing it with the flowers. a darker bouquet perhaps for the girls. They make dark cala lilys and with your white ones, that might be a neat contrast.
Of course remember, you don't have to do ANYTHING you don't want. If you don't want a darker color don't let someone tell you you need one. I am so fashion impared however, when I heard the suggestion I loved it.
Hope that helps.
I'll say this again... I can't wait to see your dress ideas!!
 
Hey Guys,

Congratulations... you make a cute couple and I love the proposal story! :)

I cant believe the rudeness of some people - It amazes me sometimes that they think they have the right to even make such comments! :headache:
Any way, I don't think they are silly questions, and I really like the idea of having a little blessing at the church for your family and friends that cant make it to the wedding. We have had to do something similar but more of a party without the blessing For people who cannot fly to florida. (So i don't think your being selfish AT ALL)

On a more happy note... I really love the 2nd photo of the BM dresses... I think the sweetheart neck is prettier. and the colour at the bottom will bring a little something different to the dress. hehe :) But both very pretty.

Happy Planning... I will be reading along! :)

You know what, this is not a bad idea about adding the darker cala lilies to the bouquets. I will have to look into that once I can meet with a florist. Thanks for the suggestion! I think adding the lighter blue to your scheme is an excellent idea too! Light blue compliments navy so lovely!

Thanks for joining in Fay! And thank you for your kind comments :hug: That's two votes for the 2nd dress, my Sister and Sister-in-law will be thrilled as those are their picks. :goodvibes

I scheduled a site visit today! I couldn't resist. Good excuse to go back to Disney. :banana: I couldn't take the pressure of staying away!!!! :sad2: I can't wait to go and meet the coordinator we've been speaking to, she's so sweet and very helpful!! :goodvibes

On another note, I need help ladies!!! Is there an easier way to post pictures other than uploading to Photobucket? I've tried posting web links to my wedding dress options and they won't show up? :confused: it's so annoying to upload and then post on the boards. I never have that much time! Please tell me there is an easier way!! :confused3

Every time I have looked at the forums on the knot, I am blown away by the outrageousness of some people. It's as if every poster just wants to one-up the post before. I haven't posted anything on there, just looked at other posts, and it seems like no topic is free from harsh scrutiny. Its amazing how many people know everything. Those seem like reasonable questions, I think there are just a lot of people on those boards looking for trouble,

I like the second dress option best too. I love the spring colors with the blue and green. :)

Our weddings will be like 3 weeks apart next year! :yay: We're booking next Thursday, so excited. :banana: Going to check out your PJ now! :goodvibes
 
Ok ladies, I know I'm getting married at Disney, but I have absolutely fallen in love with this Princess Jasmine dress, but I haven't been able to try it on yet. I may end up not liking it on, but we'll see. Hopefully I can get somewhere to try it on soon, no one near my little town has it! I have to drive at least 300 miles!!!! :eek:

I've also been busy designing our save the date and after many different designs, I ended up with this one that I like the best so far. What do you ladies think and please be honest! :goodvibes

I like that dress :lovestruc Very elegant (& has just the right amount of bling :rotfl:) I also like the STD u created :thumbsup2 ( i feel very wierd typing STD because in my line of work it means Sexually transmitted disease :laughing: :lmao:)
 
Just so you know The Knot brides ripped me apart too! I will NEVER go on that site again >_< I agree with one of the other girls that it seems every bride wants to one-up the other and kinda hype each other up. I posted a question similar to yours regarding etiquette for destination vs at home reception ideas, etc and they were completely RUDE. The Dis girls will never do that to ya :goodvibes Love your STD, very cute! Simple & to the point. Can't wait to read more plans :D

:lmao: I laughed so hard when I read that because I think the same thing every time I type STD, it's a little awkward isn't it! Thanks for your comments about the dress, I'm hoping I like it once I finally get to try it on. I love the bling on it too! :goodvibes Speaking of bling, I've not been able to stop thinking about those bling shoes you made, they are so gorgeous!! :worship:

Thanks so much, I've not been back to The Knot since then, I deleted my account immediately! I absolutely couldn't believe the rudeness! :confused3 The disbrides are so welcoming, not sure what I'd do without these boards to get me along. Sometimes I read these boards on a bad day and you girls just put me in a better mood. :hug: Off to go check our your PJ now! :cool1:
 
The Jasmine dress is so pretty! I hope you get to try it on :) Oh, and very nice STDs. Love the "see ya real soon!"
 
I think the jasmine dress is pretty! It looks like such a fun party dress, perfect for dancing. :)

Are you sending out your save the dates to get printed or printing them yourself? I think they are really cute and the "see ya real soon" made me smile, I would just try to get a test print or something before printing out a bunch. It is really hard to judge the darkness of background images on the screen vs on paper, so it might end up being a little difficult to read on paper even though it works nicely on the comp.

Thanks Lindsay! I'm going to Disney on the 28th to meet with our photographer and coordinator, etc so I'm hoping to make it to the Alfred Angelo store in Altamonte Springs.

I'm planning on printing the STD's but I've not picked out the paper yet. I will definitely do a bunch of test prints but I also thought about maybe taking out the castle or moving it to the side so it's not behind text. We'll see but thanks for the advice. :goodvibes
 
I like the STDs too, especially the "See ya real soon". I started to make something as well, but it's not the most creative thing :lmao: I may have to look at some designs and work from there!

You're lucky you live in Florida so you can visit Disney and the venues! How far do you live from Disney? I grew up in Ocala, so I was only an hour away. If only I were that close now...

I can't wait to finally book! Did you get the day/time/locations you wanted?? popcorn::
 
Hi Nicole,
So I am just now joining in I have been bad lately about checking the PJs. Your story is so cute and I really like the way he proposed. I can not believe the knot brides. I have never been on their boards I think I may have looked once or twice but I don't really need them I have you guys. Also I do like that jasmine dress and I hope you can find a place to put it on. I wish the disney dresses had been out when I got my dress.

The save the dates are cute and I think your colors for the bridesmaid dresses are great. The first dress you have up I have seen and tried on and it is kind of heavy but that won't really matter for an april wedding.

cant wait for more

Hey, just checking in!

I've never been a fan of The Knot.. their website always annoyed me! :furious:

That dress is really pretty! Go try it on! :lmao:

The std is really cute. I love the castle in the background... maybe you could make it even bigger somehow? I love the colors (I'm doing the same color scheme! :thumbsup2). I love the "see ya real soon!" so much! The only thing that I might change is the "more detailed information to follow soon" line.. it almost takes a little away from the "see you real soon" because they both end in soon? :confused3 I know you asked for honest feedback.... otherwise I LOVE them!

BTW.. did you get the date and locations that you wanted? I'll be following along, looking forward to more!

I live about 5.5 hours away, in Panama City. :drive: My dad lives in Apopka though so we've driven through Ocala a thousand times. Disney is part of what keeps me in Florida lol! I'd have major withdrawals if I lived too far away!!

I know how you feel, that wait to book our date was painful lol. It comes quick though. We didn't get the initial reception venue we wanted b/c a corporate client booked the GF for that weekend so we ended up going with the ADH at Boardwalk, which has grown on me quite a lot the more I research it. The GF would have been nice since it's all in the same location, but I'm actually thinking now that I like the idea of the ADH better. We also had to book both UK venues for our dessert party due to the size of our guest list! :eek:

We are now completing our room block and once we send that we'll have to wait another two weeks to get the contract to review and then we'll have two weeks from then to review and pay the deposit. Seems like so far away!

Thank you for joining Teresa! I have a hard time keeping up lately with PJ's as well. Good old life gets in the way! :rolleyes2

Thanks for the tip on the dress you tried on, I'm not sure what we'll end up with once we get to a store to try them on. :goodvibes You can pretty much pick what you want online, but then when you get to a store, they might not even have it! I'm hoping to go to a store in Orlando next weekend and try on the Jasmine dress! I will definitely take time to take pictures of me in it if I do and will post them to get you girls opinions. And you're right about the knot, I haven't been back since I found the disbrides! This site is great, I'm so glad I found it!
