OceanGdss SBP/Ariel's December 2008..PS TR finished!!

Meg, your guest book is beautiful!! I wanted to make a blurb book for our wedding pics, but I totally could not get the hang of it and like an ADD kid just kinda ditched the idea after a couple minutes lol
 
Love everything and your Blurb Book is just great. We will be down in Disney the end of May for our PS and we are doing a Engagement Shoot with Misty (our photographer). I have definately decided to do one of these. I hope it is not too hard. I'll have to play with it for a while before making my book. How many pages is your book. I just love it and all the sayings you put in it and the cover is great.

Everything in your pj looks great! I absolutely love your shoes!! Keep up the good work!

I can't wait for the next installment!! popcorn::
 
The flowers and guestbook look great!

Yay for your PS in a few days!!:cool1:

Thank you!! :goodvibes I'm excited!! We leave tomorrow!

Megan,

The book is really nice. I think everyone will "get it", especially if you have a few "earlybirds" sign the book. It's going to make a nice souvenir of the wedding.

I really like the flowers you are using for your floral. I think you've chosen well. I did all the flowers for our original wedding in silk, so I know what a headache it is. But they were exactly what I wanted because I did it myself! :lovestruc

Very nice, I can't wait to hear about your PS. BTW, how long will you be in Disney? We arrive next Wednesday 5/21. :earboy2:

Thank you so much! Yes, I think having early birds sign it will be a big help...we're also going to have the DJ mention something about it during the reception, so people can hop over and sign a little something. Its going to be a great keepsake. And it won't take up as much room as a signature mat! :thumbsup2
Thanks for the compliments on the floral. I'm so glad to hear someone else has used silk before...its not that common anymore, especially not at Disney. I'll be a trail-blazer lol. But its more important to me that I can keep my bouquet, and in the end, ALL of my floral will cost less than it would have cost me to preserve my bouquet!:banana:
We will only be there tomorrow & Thursday (we live pretty close to Disney, so just driving down the night before). How long will you be in Disney?? We're going back for our tasing in a few weeks!! :cutie:

The Guestbook is great! Love it!

Nice job with the flowers the colors are beautiful!:goodvibes:

Have a fantastic time at your PS! It really is fun and they do make it easy!
Thank you! I hope it will be easy...I'm stressed enough by myself lol. Maybe my planner will have already read my PJ on here and will just say "Ok..here ya go" lol! :rotfl2:

No unfortunately I won't be in Disney today. hehe I know I was bummed there is a dis meet the day before the leave to go there and the day after we come home.:sad2:
Guess I miss out on all the fun :guilty:


BTW I LOVE you blurb book. It looks so professional very nice and will make a nice keepsake better than just a book with signatures. Also...your flowers look great too! Very real looking and nice combo. Can't wait to see them when you'll all finished!

Its ok, I didn't go to the meet either. I tried emailing several people and posting on here to see if anyone else was still going, and I received no response..so I didn't drive down. (Its 2 hours..thats a lot of gas to use up, only to get there and realize it was cancelled lol)
Thank you for the compliments. I can't wait till I get the rest of the flowers and make the complete bouquets! Its on my list of 'to-do's for June. :)


love the guest book, those pics are gorgeous!!!!! I like the flowers too can't wait to see the finished product.

Thank you!!! I'll def be posting pics when I get them all done! Now I just need to find a good place to store them so they won't get crushed!:confused3

Meg, your guest book is beautiful!! I wanted to make a blurb book for our wedding pics, but I totally could not get the hang of it and like an ADD kid just kinda ditched the idea after a couple minutes lol
:rotfl2: :lmao: :rotfl: Ohhh...Amanda...your poor poor offspring..what ever will we do with you! lol They're going to have ADD too lol. The program is actually really easy, you should try it again...its never too late. :cutie: And def use blurb...I've tried using other companies and they are so much harder to navigate & they are much more expensive. Blurb has awesome prices!:thumbsup2

Love everything and your Blurb Book is just great. We will be down in Disney the end of May for our PS and we are doing a Engagement Shoot with Misty (our photographer). I have definately decided to do one of these. I hope it is not too hard. I'll have to play with it for a while before making my book. How many pages is your book. I just love it and all the sayings you put in it and the cover is great.

Linda
Its not hard at all!!! (unless you're amanda..:rotfl2:) Our book is about 20 pages (or 10 sheets). It was extremely simple to do the layout..and you can mess around with it all you want to change things. It took me about 2 days of working on it for a couple of hours each day to get it done. But it was SO worth it!! You can have soft or hardcover, and now they have an option to have the cover printed right on the book instead of a dust jacket like ours. But I like the dust jacket because I could put those sayings on the inside. We also used Waltograph font and put a Walt Disney quote inside as well...really added a little Disney touch without going overboard. (Oh..and THANK YOU RANDY for the great engagement photos I used!!!! :goodvibes )

I think you'll love it if you do it...its even better when you see it in person! :)

Everything in your pj looks great! I absolutely love your shoes!! Keep up the good work!

I can't wait for the next installment!! popcorn::

LoL..thank you! The shoes are a whole saga unto themselves. I wore a pair similar to my FBIL's wedding and my feet were KILLING me!:headache: It was TERRIBLE! So I am looking at a lower heel/different style...but I'll still keep my blue shoes and may wear them to the rehearsal/dinner! :thumbsup2

I'll get a new installment up soon!
:love: you all!

Yes, you keep laughing at me and I'm going to go make a sandwich:snooty:
And I'm a ditz and I dont care princess:
 
Youre guest book looks great!! I love your flowers, so beautiful!! And what a great way to save money!! WOO HO!!

Can't wait to hear about your PS!

Jennifer
 
Yes, you keep laughing at me and I'm going to go make a sandwich:snooty:
And I'm a ditz and I dont care princess:


Ooh...a sandwich...I'll take a BLT, or a balogna and mustard...yes..that will do. Oh, can you make me a drink too while you're in there. I'll be waiting here for you to serve me lunch...:rotfl2: :rotfl2:

Hehe...:hug: :goodvibes You know I love you and your bump! :cutie:
 
Meg, your guest book is beautiful!! I wanted to make a blurb book for our wedding pics, but I totally could not get the hang of it and like an ADD kid just kinda ditched the idea after a couple minutes lol

Amanda that's just pregnancy brain not ADD. :rotfl2:

Not menaing to hijack the thread.

I love the flowers. I love hydrangea. I'd kill to have a bush that color in my yard.

So excited to hear about the PS.
 
WOW!! Your guestbook totally blew me away! Congratulations on coming up with such a GORGEOUS product. Oh, and your flower concepts are wonderful! The flowers look so real that I wouldn't have known they were silk if you hadn't posted that. YAY!!!
 
Thank you!! :goodvibes I'm excited!! We leave tomorrow!

Megan,
We will be in the World 5/21 - 5/28, with our PS/tasting on the 27th. I'm getting so excited. I really think your floral is going to blow everyone away. I agree with Cam when she said they look so real!

:goodvibes We're also heading to the PPP on Memorial Day! I'm hoping for a wonderful time!pirate: princess:
 
Fab guestbook! ;) I was so stumped on what to put on the dust jacket flaps... it never even occured to me that I could just fill them with a big quote - great idea!

I think you'll have no trouble getting signatures - you have the lines on the pages, people will already have signed it, and the DJ announcement should be a great reminder. But if you like, I can lend you my MIL to carry it around to each and every guest and hover over them til they write something...:rotfl:
 
I love the book! It looks great! I'm going to have to look into that... I was thinking of doing the matte thing but this looks like more fun.
 
You have sold me!!! your book looks awesome! I have made other photobooks but never from that site and had been considering making on there, now I know I will! Your looks wonderful and you will have a cherished keepsake for years to come!You really did a great job:thumbsup2 what size book did you choose. have a great PS !:goodvibes
 
Beautiful book and flowers :)
You are so well organized getting everything done early...
 
Have fun at the PS! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. I'm so jealous so many people are going down this week or next (including my own parents) and I was there this time last year too. July seems so far away :sad2:.

Love the flowers they look a little like the ones I picked out for our bouquets. I'm only making the one for me and my MOH at this point - figured I could go with Disney for the rest of the floral. But your boutonnière idea looked so good :worship: I'm thinking maybe I'll use some of my extra flowers for that! Very creative just like the rest of your ideas. Love the Blurb guest book too!

lol...thats funny. :) Thank you...I love that color too.

Thank you! :goodvibes I am hoping the flowers look very real..I don't want to have fake looking flowers in the photos . As soon as I get a full bouquet put together ill post it! Silk has saved me SO much money!
And thanks about the book...but the credit really goes to Carrie :hug: :) She's the one with the great ideas...the rest of us just steal them lol

Megan,

Have an AWESOME time!!:cool1: I'll try to put up my PS TR before you leave. We won't be back for our Tasting until June 5th. (we couldnt do it with our PS tomorrow because there are a bunch of corporate functions going on..so the kitchen is crazy lol)

Fab guestbook! ;) I was so stumped on what to put on the dust jacket flaps... it never even occured to me that I could just fill them with a big quote - great idea!

:rotfl2: Maybe I will have to borrow her! I was stumped on the dust jacket flaps as well..then right before I uploaded it I was like "hey! this would work.." and slapped some quote on there lol. Seriously though...thank you for such an amazing idea. DF and I were iffy on getting a signature mat...we didn't want it collecting dust in the closet..and its kidn of akward to pull out and show people. And I have ALWAYS loved coffee table books that you make our of your own photos. (I made one out of my Galapagos trip photos..but it was another company and very expensive...will be sticking with blurb from now on) This book was a perfect answer to what we wanted..and another way to use our engagement photos!!! :hug: Thank you!!!:worship:

I love the book! It looks great! I'm going to have to look into that... I was thinking of doing the matte thing but this looks like more fun.
Thank you! Definately look into it...its by Blurb. Very awesome prices too!! :thumbsup2

You have sold me!!! your book looks awesome! I have made other photobooks but never from that site and had been considering making on there, now I know I will! Your looks wonderful and you will have a cherished keepsake for years to come!You really did a great job:thumbsup2 what size book did you choose. have a great PS
Thank you!! It really is awesome..even better when you see it in person! I used the Standard Landscape size (10x8 inches) and its $29.95 for up to 40 pages with the hardcover and dust jacket. :) Very easy to create too!!

Wow!!! stunning guest book! It's so personal, I love it!!
Thank you!!! :goodvibes

Beautiful book and flowers :)
You are so well organized getting everything done early...
LoL..thanks..glad someone thinks im organized. I have to get things done either really early or really late...I can never be "just on time". :confused3

Have fun at the PS! I can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. I'm so jealous so many people are going down this week or next (including my own parents) and I was there this time last year too. July seems so far away :sad2:.

Hi!! :) Don't worry...July will be here before you know it!! The months are FLYING by!!! Thank you for the floral compliments! Doesn't it save SO much money doing some floral on your own?? I'm creating all of the floral for 'people' (bouquets, corages, bouts, etc) and using disney for decor & centerpieces. Though I'm pretty sure I'm not going to have much floral in the centerpieces...candles instead. :) I'll let you know when we get back fromt he PS!! :banana:
 
Woohoo!!! We're leaving today for the PS!! Going to stay @ AKL tonight with FMIL. I'm thrilled!!! I promise to take lots of pictures and tell you all about it when we get back!! We don't leave until between 4 or 5 today...and I have SO much to do, but I'm being lazy and sittin on the DIS lol. :surfweb:

So far I've printed out all sorts of stuff including floral and centerpiece ideas, pics of the BM dresses, pics of my own silk floral, etc. Im also taking a mock invitation, sample flowers from my silk, a few favors, and other small decor items so they can see what we're already working with. Anything I'm forgetting????
Oh...and a laundry list of ideas/questions from both me & my DF. :thumbsup2
( I actually had to tell him.."Honey, you need to think of some questions to ask Marion" he is slightly un-involved in the whole process lol)



Ok..gotta go get busy! I'm looking like a bum! lol
