Shades of Green Mike and Janine Wedding

[padisneyfour]

The flowers look beautiful... I love the colors !

 

[MainStMandy]

OH I like those!! I have seen her website before. That is a great price!!

 

[JanineBlum]

The package I will have will have at least these (fake) flowers in it and the rest is up to her. Whe will also put some light blue auqamarine stones in it to match my tiara the color posted is right but in my tiara they are round. Oh and she said she would throw in hidden Mickey's. I can't wait to see her sample.
I am glad you guys approve of the ones I posted and the price.

Ok so I got the corsage sample in and I think the plumerias look great but the other flowers not so much. So my mom and I got to talking and we decided to cut a flower off of my defenseless purple orchid plant to see if it could endure the heat. It lasted for 5 hours outside then we took it in but it was still in good condition. Sigh I found orchids are very hard to put in a bouquet without training and pricey.

So now we are thinking of doing some flowers our selves. My mom and I are going to make some arrangements. We determined we may go fake flowers or FTD for the gazebo because they will be up high and distant and then real flowers for everything else. The bouts will be easy I am not so sure about the bouquet and the corsages. I found a lot of how to information online but I am going to stop by the library.

I think we will do a least 2 test bouquets before the final day. I just wonder if we end up spending more on it when we are trying to figure out how to do it. I will run some numbers and see.
Until then here are some more bouquet pictures for you all to look at.

119.99

80.00 1-800 flower


Ok change of thought I am going to use FTD for bouquets they may not have exactly what I am looking at now but something close I will check back closer to the date but the price seems good. Then I am going to have to make the bots I am not sure about the corsages we shall see.

My mom is still going to make the cones like above (but light blue and purple ribbon)for both the gazebo and my bouquet.
We will use FTD flowers.

39.99

39.99

67.99

74.99

21.99

Does anyone have some pictures of light blue and purples together ribbon anything?
Let me know which ones you like the best. I am going for blue purple and pink look but I do not like blue flowers so I wm only using it lightly like in the ribbons. Feel free to provide input...

I have some more pictures to send but it may be another week or so before I get it on here. I have been working mucho overtime lately, had a car wreck on the day we were moving into to our first apartment together. No worries everyone is ok but my son was in the car with me in the front seat and he got a scare. He is old enough (9 1/2)and weighs enough to be in the front but the accident got me to thinking about the airbags I feel he may get more hurt then helped. Luckly the airbags did not go off as it was a minor accident but now I am having him sit in the back again. I thank God that he only had a few scratches from the seat belt.

Well the move has been daunting and I hope we are done getting organized soon.

I have contacted a reasonably priced florist in Orlando to use for all my flowers. I am having things very similar to those that are in your quote from Roberta and was quoted about the save (less than $450) for real flowers. You may want to contact her for an estimate, you might find her reasonable. Her name is Amy Lambert, website: http://blossomsorlando.com/

 

[JanineBlum]

Great thanks I will be sure to check with her. I am all about saving a buck.

I know I promised more pisctures months ago and I took them but never loaded them up. We moved into an apartment at thing got crazy with boxes . So I am going to try to get back into gear this weekend and do some posting. I got my invitations done but need to work on directions, hotel info and RSVP's I hope to have it all maile dout by the end of January.

If you can find a reasonably priced florist, I'd go with that. Making bouquets and bouts can be a big task you don't want before your wedding! Plus you're at Disney! If you end up putting them together yourself, just over-budget the time needed.

I really love the colors that you've selected! They look great.

Yep I will do that this weekend

I am going to go with FTD or 1-800 flowers and book the stuff in April. I think your right it will be a hassle to DIY real flowers and I will miss out on Disney fun! I am not going to have that many flowers anyway.

Hey Janine! Just popping in to say hi! I agree with your decision on the flowers! We had fake flowers but we got them at a great price and we put all the bouquets and centerpieces together ourselves, but we live here so it wasn't hard to transport them to SOG!

I'm getting excited for you. 5 months will be here before you know it!

 

[JanineBlum]

Finally I am ready to put some pictures up. My last set of pictures were lost because of an error on the card.

Ok so this is a pic of the glove I am thinking of using with my dress but may not because of weather. Unless otherwise noted all purchases were made on ebay!

[IMGhttp://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af103/Janineblum/P1000186.jpg[/IMG]

This was a Walmart Purchase

I went to Hobby Lobby and boat the candle holder and then added a lid so I could hot glue Minnie and Mickey to the Top. This is my cake topper.

I hot glued my ribbon I used when making the invitations to the veil.

I bought a plain guestbook at hobby Lobby and then bought the sticker and put it on top.

I am thinking of adding the ribbon to the cake cutters which were purchased at Hobby Lobby

 

[JanineBlum]

My son wanted to carry a shell instead of a pillow so I found this on ebay. The fake flowers will be used by the flower girl.

I then hot glued to diffrent types of ribbon for each ring

Pictures of Rings:
Engagement

Engagement and bridal- mine still needs to be sized

Mike's Ring

Rings in the ring holder but I did not tie them

If I do not use the glove I will wear this.

Earings are blue but it is hard to see on here.

II had someone from ebay hand make this candle and she customized the colors.Katz Candles

Candle Holder- The middle candle sits on top not in this and also I had her carce the inside of the candle out so I put a tealight in that way I can re use the candle.

I have three candle sticks so my son can light one as well. I am still trying to figure out what candle holder I will use.

The wedding will still be at the Shades of Green and so will the reception but the reception is moving Mario's to a quarter of the ballroom. My parents went down to the hotel on holiday a few weekends ago and did not like that it was not a white table place anymore so I streched the budget. I canceled our limo airport pick up and made it a town car to save some money and luckly I still have a cushion.
Shades of Green has been great to work with on the changes.

Oh yeah I also ordered a legacy brick at SOG. It should be in before we have our wedding. I can't wait to get there!

I had some changes to make on the invites and lucky had not sent them out yet so. I will have pictures up on that ASAP since I better mail them out this week.

 

[JanineBlum]

Mike got his tux from ebay $100.00 looks great we will look for a vest after prom.
Brandon will get sized and get a tux from eBay for $40.00
Brandon also wants a different vest but wants it to be Disney and we found some on eBay now we just have to pick one.

My bridesmaid is looking to look for dresses after prom as well to see if we can find a sale.
I found a cute dress for the flower girl at Burlington Coat Factory priced at around $25.00. I need to steal Autumn away from her mom and see if it fits and is comfortable for her and then I will have some pictures up on that as well.

Center Pieces- SOG will supply them at no cost but they will just be simple candles on water. That is fine by me $0.00 is awesome!

 

[JanineBlum]

I repeated myself.... I will add some more details.

 

[pink_tink8i8]
