Sarah & Joshua's PJ~WP/Napa~6/25/2009~Updated 6/23~We're at Disney!!!

[WVTinkGrl]

Hi Sarah!! I just got caught up on your PJ and I think I can answer some of your questions from a while ago and recently. I can because I am doing similar things for my wedding!

For the Model T: It will pick you up at the GF and take you to the WP and then it stays and you do your "fake" exit with it and then it will bring you back to WP for your pictures. Then, when all your pictures are done it will take you and DF to your reception. Which leads me to....

Napa Room: I am having my reception there as well and since I am getting married at night and if you are as well you will see Wishes during your reception. Wishes should be somewhere between 9-9:30pm although it might be earlier for you since you are June and I am December. Check with Kristi she will know for sure. The food there is delicious!!!!! It is some of the best food at Disny in MHO. There is several menus for you to choose from with the cheapest at $80/pp to $120/pp and you can mix and match between them. Yes they have a baked chicken, a beef tenderloin and usually a fish dish (varies by menu choice). i.e. on the $120 its lobster. Ask Kristi to send you the menus or you can check our Magikalkingdoms.com.

On another note your dress is beautiful! I love your choice for BM dresses as well, very simple and elegant! Oh Congrats on the kitten! You have to post some pics!!

I hope that helps you out a little!

Thanks for the info on the Model T; it's one of DF's favorite parts of the day. DF and I decided just yesterday to use the Napa room. The decision was driving me crazy until we decided which location to pick.

Looking forward to an update and a picture of your sweet Romeo!

As promised here is the pic of my little Romeo!

So I am new to all of this but your dress is gorgeous!! Did you end up getting your date and all?? We are getting married like two weeks after you ! It's sooo stressful waiting for that confirmation you have the date and location!

-question- how were you finally able to post pics? I am trying to post some of my dress but don't know how!!

Thank you! We did get the new date, and that is so exciting that we are getting married two weeks apart! I was able to post pics after I had made 10 posts. HTH!

Your new kitten is so adorable!!!!

 

[WVTinkGrl]

Woohoo! My dress has arrived. I'm going tomorrow to get it and I am so excited! I guess the dress shop called my mom and told her the other day. My mom just told me today. I can't wait to try it on again.

Your new kitten is so adorable!!!!

He is quite adorable, even though he likes to stick his cold wet nose in my face when I'm trying to sleep

Today was such a good day!

First thing, I was able to make an appointment at the dress shop to go check out my dress. I tried it on and it fit almost perfectly. I don't think that it will even have to have a lot of alterations.

Second, my grandma, who went with me to look at my dress and who also does floral, decided that we should head over to Crafts 2000, a craft superstore (if you couldn't tell from the name ). Well, we went to go look at all of the silk flowers and wouldn't you know it. She bought all the flowers to do my bouquet, my 3 bridesmaid bouquets, and 5 corsages. I'm using 12 full blowns roses in mine, 6 in the bridesmaids, and one in each corsage. We also found some really pretty sparkly stuff that was out for Christmas but decided that it would look much prettier in my flowers. I would post pics but I'm at my grandma's and there is no camera here! But I promise as soon as I get some pics I will post.

Thirdly, while in Crafts 2000 I found the perfect guest book, pen holder, unity candle holder, and garter. They are all a matching set of fairytale/Cinderella. While it's not officially cinderella, it it a horse drawn carriage heading toward a castle in the distance. As with the flowers, I will get pics up as soon as I can.

Everything sounds like it coming together.....the fairytale/cinderella items sound lovely....looking forward to hearing more

 

[irisbud]

Sound like a great day! Everything is coming together so well!

 

[WVTinkGrl]

Okay, this may sound crazy, but my grandma and I got 4 bouquests and 5 corsages done in about 3 hours. I am going back to the store tomorrow to buy some smaller roses for the boutineers. We should be done in no time and I will post pics soon, I promise!

 

[irisbud]

Wow!

 

[29apr00]

Sounds great!! Can't wait to see the pics of the flowers!

 

[keenercam]

Sounds wonderful! How beautiful and sentimental it is to have made the flowers with your Grandma. Can't wait to see pix!

 

[bridetobe789]

sounds like you got some good checks off the list!! Can't wait to see some pictures!!

 

[Donald'sGirl]

Sarah everything sounds great! That is so awesome about the dress! I can't wait to see the pics of your flowers! Your grandma is so sweet helping you do that. My grandma is going to help me make my own ring bearer pillow so it will be exciting!

 

[WVTinkGrl]

I'm back! And as promised I have pictures of everything I bought yesterday and the finished bouquets and corsages, but I also have pics of me in my wedding dress and my bridesmaid in their dresses!

First off...Here I am with my cousin! She is the only official bridesmaid I got a front and back picture to compare the wedding and bm dresses.
Front

Back

Next is my sister, who will by my maid of honor! She looks so good!

And last is DF's younger sister; the junior bridesmaid. She is only 11 and not really into the whole girly big dress thing. I love her face!

Now that I have all of the dress pics up I will go ahead and move onto the flowers! Now, what do you get when you add 32 roses....

...24 shiny things...

...16 lily of the valley...

...and blue, white, and silver ribbon?

You get 5 corsages,

1 junior bridesmaid bouquet,

2 bridesmaid bouquets,

and 1 bridal bouquet!

We were left with 2 extra roses, 1 extra shiny thing, a couple extra lily of the valley, and a lot of extra ribbon.

I also told you that I ended up getting my guest book, pen, garter, and unity candle holders. Here are those items!

All in all it was a very produtive day yesterday, and today I think grandma and I are going back to the craft store to get smaller roses to do the boutineers.

 

[keenercam]

Oh, WOW, Sarah, you look so gorgeous in your dress! Your attendants' gowns are the perfect complement and they all look beautiful. You and your Grandma did a great job on the flowers -- they look so professional. The fairytale accessories are perfect!
You must feel absolutely wonderful about having accomplished so much already.

here is the website http://hbhwedding.com/engine.cfm?iCatID=24281

It it called "Once Upon a Time" and while you can't buy it on the website, it has you fill out a form and it says an email will be sent to you with retailers near you that carry it. HTH and I hope it works!

 

[WVTinkGrl]
