Does the one in the photo not have a zip code?

Thank you very much! and yes thank god I took a picture or I never would have noticed!!! Luckily I had bought big labels that are the same color as the box so I could punch mickey heads out of them to seal the box--I had extras and fixed the zip code problem!! That could have been bad!

Just trying to catch up on everything since I got back. I love how your veil turned out. We glued on crystals to my veil and it took us hours, so I know how you feel

The bags look really cute, we tried to personalize a lot of ours too. It got a little crazy for us at 2 a.m. trying to remember which bags got which items even with a list!

Hey Vanessa! Thank you, I cant wait to see more of your wedding!
The bags are fun, but WOW can it get a little crazy, everyday I see something else to put in them! Hopefully everyone will enjoy them!

So today I have a phone appointment for followup with Marion! Time to shave away at the BEO!

Most of our shaving is our over indulgence in floral- so I have been working on alternate stuff--

For our ceremony at italy courtyard instead of $800 worth of big floral filled urns, we are going simple with petals down the aisle.

we are upgrading to white wooden chairs, so I was thinking of making paper, floral cones to hang on the chairs going down the aisle.

The first 2 will be in memory of our mothers, both who have passed-inside they will read..in loving memory, those we love are never far, they are always with us in our hearts, we are going to put a b/w picture on the front and fill with rose petals.
The rest will look like this(keep in mind this is a rough mock-up) made of shimmery white cardstock/ribbon and our monogram'

Any thoughts, I dont want it to look cheesy- just trying to dress it up a bit!
Suggestions??

 

[orangetiggs]

they look great, one thing thugh make sure the monogram is stuck down better but i think they look very nice and elegant, love the blue

 

[jnale]

Very unique! I've seen something similar on theknot.com except they didn't have the monogram - I think the monogram adds a nice touch! I like it!

 

[Mermaid_Ariel]

I think those are beautiful!

Thanks for your input I really appreciate it!!

So I just finished with my phone session with Marion, she is so sweet!

Our major change is in the number of people we estimated- hopefully that will help our $$$$.

And our cake- no more elegant scroll with castle topper($1200)! We are going with a 2 tier mad hatter-($450) now we have to play with color and style!

Here is the 2 tier-

and the mickey style-

Now we have to put the 2 together with our color scheme- cream/pink/navy

Next changes FLORAL-big changes- phone session with Laura next week! I'll be excited to get a new updated,cheaper BEO!

I love the Mad Hatter cake. Its one of my favorites. I'm still trying to decide whether I want the Mad Hatter cake or the Mickey Wave cake. I can't believe the scroll cake was $1200 . I'm sure you'll love the Mad Hatter cake just as much though.

Sandy -- The floral cones are gorgeous! I LOVE the ribbon and the sticker with the monogram. Very upscale looking! And the cake is going to be beautiful! I am really adamant about not paying for a larger cake than we need. That is a HUGE cost savings, and the two-tier mad hatter in your colors will be really pretty and unique!

 

[orangetiggs]

we changed ours to a 2 tier mickey mad hatter cake, i loved the mad hatter but when i saw the mickey one I thought thats it! We had the mickey wave in our beo but it was like 900 for it and we now only have 18 guests so no need for so much cake

 

[BelleBride2011]

Your cake is absolutely beautiful! I love it! it's so unique! I can't wait to see the final product!

Its a fun cake! Feeds less people! After we got the price of the scroll cake, we knew we would just be throwing the money away! We have no intention of taking any part with us!

So sweet! I think they came out good I'm very excited about the cost saving! Money to spend on something else!

i definately was sold when I saw it could have mickey incorporated into it! Can you imaging how much wasted cake is at Disney!!

Thank you! I can't wait to see how it comes out! It'll be in the hands of the GF bakers! I'll be sure to get pix!
