Toni & Bobby's Shabby Chic wedding PJ & TR (SBP/Attic/UK) 2/2/09 *COMPLETE*

[DisneyBrideToni]

oh toni! i don't know what to do now! i have just read your planning journal and it has confused me so much! everything you have chosen looks wonderful

i have been swapping and changing my ideas for ages between and SBP wedding and a wedding through the swan hotel. i have been trying to figure out what we would want so when dbf finally asks me we will be already saving and that way we can book it sooner.

our wedding would only be about 15 people including us so after looking at your BEO( i thought those are some of the things we would want- donald and all!) i thought a dftw could work financially.

my heart wants the whole dftw but my head says the swan could be better financially. we are coming from the uk so it means we have extra costs involved and would be paying for the wedding ourselves!

serious dilemma going on in my head

Aww I think you can do it! I went wayy overboard with my wedding. I think my wedding is costing me somewhere around what someone with 100 people are paying... If you do an escape wedding the minimum is 4500.00 and Donald is about 800 so if you can do that it may be worth the money to be able to get married in Disney instead of near Disney and you get that whole Disney Magic. I think the Swan is beautiful too though! Maybe you can do a Swan wedding and then have a character dinner after the wedding? That way you can have your swan ceremony and still have a bit of Disney with the characters.

Bridal Shower Information and Photo Session​

Well I am back from my short break. I feel so good now. I highly recommend stepping away from planning to get a breather because when you get back to it you have such a clear head and are ready to go!

Anyway, I just thought I would give two updates.

The first is that along with the MK photo session we booked the Hollywood Studios photo session. I figured that if I am already paying $1,000.00 for the MK session I might as well throw in an extra $300.00 and get two parks. I love the different places you can take the pictures in Hollywood Studios. I want to see if they will let us get pictures at the Star Tours area since DF and I are Star Wars fans. We shall see.

Also, my FMIL is planning my Bridal Shower. Yes, I am one of those brides that know about her shower I am glad because I am a control freak and I really like to have input on things so this makes me feel better.

Anyway, I thought I would share the details with everyone.

The shower will take place on January 10, 2009 at a country club in the next town over from me.

Here is a picture of the room we have. Its a black and white picture. It was the only one I could find. It has windows all around which overlook the golf course. Very pretty room. I chose the color rose for the linens because it matches the wallpaper and carpet.... Yes I am anal. Sorry.

It will be a brunch. Here is the menu. Hope you guys don't get hungry!!

Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, Baked Ham with Fruit Glaze, Breaded Chicken Cutlet with Supreme Sauce, Italian Vegetable Medley, String Beans Almondine, Oven Roasted Red Skin Potatoes, fruit, fruit tarts, mini danish, mini muffins, bages, breads, jellies, marmalade, cream cheese, fruit juices, coffee and tea and of course, the shower cake!!!

Ok that made me hungry

Here is the invitation.

We didn't pick out the centerpieces yet or the favors. I think the favors may be ice cream scoops wrapped in tulle with some kind of candy inside the scoop. Not sure. The centerpieces will be some sort of fruit or candy creation. I will be sure to take pictures though. Well that is about all for now. I should have more updates shortly. I bought a bunch of stuff from Advantage Bridal that I will show off but I didn't get it yet so that is for next time.

Until then, TTFN!

LOL yeah I did!! I had to pick them. They were so cute. They are from Weddingdivas.com. That is where I got my wedding invites so I saw them on there and had to have them. I can't wait for the HS photo shoot! It will be interesting. I believe Vanessa (figment fan) did the HS shoot too.

Toni,

Everything looks really good for your shower!! I like the ice cream scoop idea, that is really cute!! I was totally going to be involved in my shower too, so I know what you mean. Except now, it will be a baby shower, instead of a bridal shower....

Thank you!! I am really happy to have a great mother in law. I know it can be rare. I am sure Dan will have a great mother in law in you too!!!

It is flying by now! I'm so happy that its finally going fast. I know when the holidays come it will really go by fast too.

5 More months and more updates​

Well I am 5 months out, well as I write this at 11:43 at night I am a little short of 5 months but I am only off by 15 minutes so we will let that go. I am so excited because I have felt that time has been going by so slow but now time seems to be flying by. I think that when the holidays roll around it will sail on by. I can't wait until February!!

So I have some random updates with pictures I thought I would share. I bought some stuff from Advantage Bridal.

Here is the purse that I got to carry.

I love this bag because I think it is very similar to the bodice of my gown. Here is a picture of the details on my gown.

and here are the details on the purse

I also purchased this Hanky. I thought it was really cute. I believe Disneyfairy19 (Christina) also got one.

I bought this signature picture frame to use as a guest book.

After buying this I was informed by my Aunt (the one that went to the PS with me) that she wanted to buy me the guestbook, pen and hanky in Francks.

Here is a picture (I stole this from Lurkyloo..Thanks Carrie..lol)

So if she does that then I will use the picture frame for our at home reception and the guest book for Disney. I have to admit that I am not fond of guest books. I just envision the book being tossed in a drawer somewhere or just collecting dust but she is offering and I feel bad saying no. It is really pretty.

I also bought a white hoodie for the honeymoon and this is the back of it.

Its really cute. It came out very nice.

Now most of you have seen the picture of my MOH's dress that I posted.

It was hard to see the details of the dress so I thought I would do a close up.

Here is the dress just hanging on the door waiting to be worn.

Here is a closeup of the top.

Well that is about it for now!

 

[Crown_princess]

I love to see these details! Both choices are wonderful and it is nice that you have an opportunity to use both sets.

Thanks for posting the pick of the stuff at Franck's! That helps me know that I need to hold out until my PS to buy those type of things.

Btw...I keep seeing "I've been boo'ed" in signature lines. What does it mean?

 

[irisbud]

I like both sets of purse, hanky, GB. So hard to choose which one! I agree with you about the GB just being tossed in a drawer somewhere, but if someone offers to buy one... At least you will have the chance to use both!

Also, I think it is cool that your shower will be at the Buena Vista Country Club, and WDW is in Lake Buena Vista. I am such a dork...

Can't wait to read more! It's getting closer!

Thank you!!! Francks did have some beautiful things there!!! I stole that picture from Lurkyloo because I was so excited to be there I forgot to take pictures..lol The boo'ed thing is something that you get PM'd with. Somebody sends you a PM and says that you have been boo'ed then if you have you put the bouncing Mickey pumpkin in your signature. Its something for Halloween. This is my first year so I was surprised!!

Yeah That is what I figured. I am fine with using it and I can use both so I didn't waste any money there!

You know I never made the connection with the Buena Vista Country club and Lake Buena Vista!!! That is really cool!!!! I am disney themed all over!
