So we had our engagement party this past weekend. Nothing huge or anything. Just a few local friends and family. We had a great time and were surprise by all the goodies we recieved. Here are a few pictures from the party. Enjoy

We were assigned our planner today. We have Meri and her assistant Alex. I am very excited to start working with these two.

We are hoping to do a planning session in January. Can't wait!

All right I think it's time for an update. We had our PS last Friday. Early I know but we were in Disney so we thought it was a great time to do it. We also did out menu tasting while we were there. We will be having a buffet dinner. The menu will be as follows.

Coctail hour
Antipasto Display with crisp bread sticks
Spanakopitas with Artichoke Tomatoe Tapenade
Pan-seared Crab cakes with Lemon Dill cream

Buffet Dinner
Medely of field greens (salade lol)
make your own pasta with shrimp as an option
Olive oil-grilled vegetables
Island-spiced Mahi Mahi
Parmesan-crusted Chicken Breat with basil-mashed potatoes
Horseradish-crusted Beef strip lion (carved to order)

Desert
Haven't decided yet. We were thinking a choclate fountain and then maybe some small pastries.

Cake
as for cake we have decided flavors but not the cake. For flavors we will be having the following: 1st layer - marble cake with chocolate mouse filling 2nd layer - chocolate cake with peanut butter mouse filling and 3rd layer - Almond cake with baily's mouse filling.

These are the 2 cakes I'm torn between. I can't decide which one I like best.

We will be purchasing both the cinderella and Mickey cake toppers. Only because I like them both and want them.

We also booked Rev. Jack Day to be our officant so I'm happy to get that out of the way. I believe we have a package in the mail with all his info.

We met with the florist while we were there. GOt some ideas for flowers and centerpieces.

On the 2 family tables we are going to have a centerpiece that looks similar to this except all the feathers will be white with a little pink glitter coming out of it and the vase will be glowing pink.

On the other tables because they will be much smaller we will be having martini glasses similar to the ones below. They will be glowing either pink or orange and instead of having an olive the will have a flower hanging off them of the opposite color it is glowing.

As for the head table we are still a little bit undecided. I love this snowglobe and would love to incorporate this somehow.

Our Magic Kingdom photo session is also booked. Wednesdat October 22nd 6am. Yikes! That's so early.

Your menu is very similar to what I want. Did you get to try all of those things during your PS? How did the chicken, fish, and beef taste? Do you have any pictures from the PS?

I like the second cake the best. And I love the centerpieces, very pretty!

 

[TamTab]

After much thought I changed my mind about the flower girls wearing the princess dresses. Here are a few I thought were cute. Keep in mind my colors are fuchsia and orange and my bridesmaids will be wearing the following dress. There will be 2 flower girls aged 5 and 7.

FG 1

FG 2

FG 3

Also from my PS we have decided that the bridesmaids will be caring orange flowers with a bot of pink. My flowers will be a mix of bother colors and the flower girls will be caring a flower wand. Color still to be determined.

We got to try most of the menu. If I remember correctly you get to try 2 items from the cocktail hour and then 5 of the main dishes. The food was amazing. I was very surprised of how good it was. I think you will be very pleased. And the serving sizes are large. I was very pleased with the food.

Also they are very open to changes. So if there is something you don't like they are willing to work with you to come up with something you will like. For example we originally had the Mediterranean style shrimp and pasta salade as a dish but not everyone liked it or likes shrimp so we changed it to a make your own pasta station with shrimp as an added option.

Unfortunantly I don't have any pictures. My camera broke while I was away. I tried to take pictures with a disposable camera but they didn't turn out.

Firsty, I just wanted to say congratulations on your wedding! I was just reading through your pj and we had a lot of the same ideas. It was funny. I'm also going to have the feather centerpieces. I just wanted to suggest something for your snowglobe. I have 2 ideas of how to incorporate them:

1) you could put it on a pillow or some sort of riser and make a feather base
2) if you could somehow find little horses and make them look like they are pulling the carriage you could attach little feathers to their heads. I think Cinderella's horses have those and the feathers would go with the rest of your CPs.

That is so cool you got Meri. She is great! I actually just met up with her at Christmas while we were down to say hi and brought her my pictures to look at.

I love the Marini glass centerpieces. They are perfect for the ADH. I wish I had thought of that. I sued martini glasses for my home reception with flowers in them to look like cocktails. But for the ADH the simpler the better because is already so decorated, you don't have to do much.

What part of Ontario are you in? We go every summer to White Lake, close t Armprior and Pakenham.

 

[meryll83]

I love the feathers and martini glasses, they look awesome!

Do you know how much the lit martini glasses are, we're at the Living Seas Salon and I think these may look good as opposed to feathers or flowers for our centerpieces??

Meri is awesome. She was so nice and very helpful. I'm excited for the ADH, it was just amazing when I first saw it.

We are in London Ontario. It's about 2 hours from Toronto and 1 hour from Port Huron MI.

I haven't recieved a quote for prices yet. I'm hoping they won't be too too much. I believe Laura will be sending me a round about price soon. As soon as I find out I can let you know if you like. I think they would look great in the Living Seas.

Those are great ideas. Thank you so much. I'll have to see what I can do with those.

So right now I am working on my Bridesmaid news letter. I will post when I'm finished.

I'm also trying to sort the music for the ceremony. There are so many choices and I don't even know where to start. Anyone have any idea about this. I like everything! lol
