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

[DisneyBrideToni]

DAY 4 Continued.......

So we sat around the Lobby and waited for the tasting session. While we were waiting guess what I did.....TOOK PICTURES!!!!...LOL

My mom just looks so excited.

This roller coaster was cool!

It was LUCY THE ELEPHANT!!!

So while we were sitting here some kids were next to us, well behind that rollercoaster playing Jenga. This is supplied by the resort I guess to occupy the kids while waiting for the rooms. This wasn't your normal Jenga game with the small blocks...no these were huge. These things would get so tall, now when you have a bunch of big blocks piled high in a large lobby with super high ceilings, you are gonna have some major noise. EVERY TIME that stupid tower of Jenga blocks would fall we would all jump out of our seats. It sounded like one of the Disney buses was plowing through the walls. Anyway it was close to our tasting time so we asked for directions of the Convention center and we were on our way. When we walked in they had the screen of daily events going and that is when I saw my name in lights...LOL.

(DELETED)

I LOVED seeing my name!! Oh yeah and Bobby's too...lol. I sent a picture to BObby on his cell and he cried about how his name is last and mine is first. He said WHY IS YOUR NAME FIRST? IM THE MAN! I said well IM THE BRIDE and that is much more important than being a MAN...lol.

Then I saw our names again showing us the room we would be having our tasting in.

(DELETED)

And then here was the room.

I saw several napkin folds on the table and I had to pick one.

This one was ok it looked like a shell or something but I have seen this in so many restaurants and it didn't do anything for me.

[/IMG]

This one looked like a banana being peeled. Again didn't do anything for me. when I got home however and showed bobby the pics this is the one he liked. He hated my decision but I said oh well.

This is the fold I picked. Its called Bird of Paradise.

So then the food came out. This is where I let you guys down. I was so interested in eating that I forgot to take some pictures!!

Here are the ones that I took.

Unfortunately I forgot to take this picture until after I took some bites of the food. This is the Pineapple Mahi Mahi and the Parmesan Crusted Chicken.

This was so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sauces on the fish was some kind of vanilla bean something or other but it was so good and I don't even like fish...lol. The Parmesan crusted chicken was EXCELLENT!!!

Then I was thinking of adding creme brulee to my DP because its my favorite so I requested to taste it.

It was soooo Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ate the whole darn thing.

Now let me tell you this tasting was awkward. It is hard to eat with people staring at you. Basically I took a few bites of everything and then didn't eat anymore. The creme brulee was something I had no problem eating though I decided against the Creme brulee and am adding something else.

Well we had a great time with Chef Joe, Celeste and our server Shelly. I was sad to leave but before I did I took a picture with them. Celeste is next to me, then Chef Joe and then Shelly.

And that my friends was the end of my planning session. I was sad to see it end but that was just one step closer to marrying my prince!

Now I will finally tell you all my plans and details and list my BEO.

Dessert Party

We picked the Desserts Your way which has a variety of brownies, and cakes with toppings to create your own dessert. I have also added the bananas flambee as an additional station.

Now for pictures!!

Here is my cake! Its the one in Francks. Its a mad hatter. It will be two tiers and decorated in my colors which are below. The top layer will be chocolate and peanut butter filling and the bottom layer is almond cake with a beverian creme filling.

Here are my colors.

Now for my floral.

The altar at SBP will have tulleing like this:

The top floral will be pink roses and white and pink hydrangeas. Then where the two side floral clusters are, instead of flowers it will be silver bows.

Then I will have silver and pink ribbon on the railings going up SBP like this picture.

The aisle will have different shades of rose petals scattered like this picture.

I will have silver bags of pink roses petals in different shades of pink and white.

On the altar we will have a memory vase for those who have passed way similar to this picture except they will be yellow roses.

I have upgraded the plastic chairs usually at SBP to the wooden folding chairs.

My centerpieces will be in square glass vases and have a mixture of pink and white roses with pink and white hydrangea. There will be clear glass marbles in the bottom. Similar to this picture.

I stuck with the white standard linens because I didn't want to much going on since the Attic is already decorated a lot.

For the DP all 11 centerpieces will be transfered over and a glowing light will be put under the glass marbles so that they will be glowing for the dessert party. Its a nice way to use the same centerpieces but make them look like they are different.

Here is my bouquet. It will have 12 mickey crystals. I think my ribbon will be silver..lol. I can't remember.

This is simiar to my Matron of Honor's Bouquet

Except instead of white hydrangea she will have pink like this and she will have it wrapped in silver ribbon.

Here is the groom's boutinerre. (wow bad spelling)

It will have mickey crystals.

THe Best man's and fathers.

and here are the mother's and grandmother corsages except they will be in ivory.

THe mothers will also be presented with pink roses with silver ribbon.

And this is my favorite news!!!

Our Magic Kingdom Photoshoot will be the day after the wedding at 5am and we have PAUL!!!! I am so excited. It pays to request girls, you may get lucky!

I guess that all the details. Next up is my BEO!!

 

[camara381]

Wow it sounds AMAZING!!!! I hope it doesn't cost as expensive as it sounds!!!

BEO​

When I started reading the Disboards trying to figure out how a Disney wedding goes I really felt that it really helped to see the BEO's. That is why I am posting mine because I hope it helps someone. It does not include floral yet but when I get that I will post it.

Let me start off by saying that I was suprised at the planning session. You would think that they would try and sell you all the expensive things and make you spend huge amounts of money but they don't. My planner and the florist tried to find ways to get me what I wanted but in a cheaper way. They will really work with you girls!!! That being said here is my BEO.

[Flurbee]

Wow, Toni.....you really outdid yourself!! Everything is going to be so beautiful!!! I am really interested in your beo.....Just curious to see how everything is going to come together...can't wait for more!!!

 

[DecemberBride]

Hey you! We're having such similar SBP setups.

Quick question though... you said you were upgrading to wooden folding chairs for SBP and on your BEO you had an outdorr setup fee... was that for the chairs or for something at the DP? I'm curious, because I'm not a big fan of the white chairs that come with SBP and I was adding chair covers, but if I can get the wooden chairs for less that would be great because then all I have to do is decorate the aisle chairs... Could you let me know the chair upgrade fee?

Finally I'd like to say hat everything looks great... your wedding will be beautiful! So excited for you!

 

[Lynn5700]

Toni..OMG I love all your floral choices,cake and everything,your wedding is going to be amazing!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you....your BEO is not bad at all,I think it's great.

Francks is gorgeous,I loved it in there when I checked it out.

The Boardwalk blows the Jersey ones away,the place is amazing. It is always going to be a special place in your heart.I love it there. OMG I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!

 

[29apr00]

Everything looks great!! I love your cake choice!! I'm sure your day is going to be magical!!

Actually the set up fee is for the DP. The set up fee is already included, from what I saw in the fee of SBP. The chair covers are 8.50 and the wooden chairs are 6.00. I saw a picture of them that rose had and they were really nice! I can't remember who it was but I believe another bride had them for her wedding at the Yacht Club.

HAHAH I know when I first heard about the boardwalk resort I was like, im never going to stay there. I am always at the Boardwalk up here so why would I stay at a resort that is supposed to look like a boardwalk. Well I was totally wrong! Jersey needs to go to Disney and take some lessons!!! Although for some reason it reminded me of Ocean City. Thank you so much about for your sweet comments!!!!!!! You are my favorite Jersey buddy!!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Everything looks great!! I love your cake choice!! I'm sure your day is going to be magical!!

Aww thank you!!!! I can't wait now. I have everything set so now I want it to be here already!!!! Stupid Time...why can't it go faster.

 

[DisneyFairy19]

[keenercam]

Toni -- Thank you so MUCH for doing such a detailed report on your planning and tasting sessions. That helps so much! Your choices are absolutely gorgeous! I am crazy about hydrangea, so I absolutely ADORE your floral choices. Everything sounds really beautiful and elegant. Looking forward to seeing your floral estimate!

 

[inkedupmomma]

[disneygal922]

Oh my Toni, you almost sold me on SBP but DF and I have wanted the WP since we got engaged. All your decisions and plans sound wonderful! I especially like your centerpieces! I'm so excited for you! Creme Brulee is also my favorite dessert. no matter how stuffed i am, i can ALWAYS find room for it! Thanks for posting your BEO. It really does help to see them!

Thank you so much!!!! It would be awesome for you to come and see!!

I am so glad it helped you!! That was my goal. I know how much everyone else's reports and PJ's helped me so I wanted to return the favor! Thank you so much. I will be sure to post my floral estimate asap. I know it will be a little bit because Rose is on vacation so I am anxiously waiting!

nice report!! thanks for sharing. everytime i read a beo i get all nervous.. i'm like omg she just spent a gabillion dollars, then i see the final price and its never too bad lol!

You know I was pleasantly surprised when I went there because you would think that a place like Disney would try and make your wedding a million dollars but its not like that at all. They know that girls really want to stay on budget and they find ways to give you what you want for a fraction of the cost!

Creme Brulee is the best!!! I am not having it though but the banana's and ice cream will be equally as good!! The WP is so beautiful. If I didn't want to get married outside so bad I would be all over that place!! The grounds are beautiful and the details they have there are spectacular!! You will have such a pretty wedding there!!

 

[IndyBride]

Beautiful flower choices! Your locations are going to be fabulous!! Your dinner looks amazing! I LOVE creme brulee!

 

[SummerIrmoma2_3]

It all sounds great Toni!! I am so glad you fell in love with the attic. My main concern with it is all the "toys" hanging around. I can't wait for your wedding TR so I can see how it all turned out.

I love love love SBP too. I loved how when you walk into it you can smell all the gardenias. Too bad mine will be in December so we most likely wont have that lovely smell.

I am glad to see that none of your pictures have that yucky weather we ran into a fews days in them.

 

[shezfrombermuda]

Toni, I enjoyed reading your planning session report and seeing all your pictures. All your choices look great! I am looking forward to seeing your floral budget, I am in the process of trying to cut mine now!

 

[DisneyBrideToni]

Beautiful flower choices! Your locations are going to be fabulous!! Your dinner looks amazing! I LOVE creme brulee!

Aww thank you!!! I love creme brulee too!!! What is funny is that at the tasting it was kind of weird eating in front of the chef and wedding planner with them staring at you so I just took a few bites of all the food but boy when that creme brulee came out I ate the whole darn thing...

You know that was one of my concerns. It just looked cheesy with the toys and stuff but I think that makes it so unique now. Its kind of like a theme already done up for you. I think that if you were to make a room up like that for a wedding anywhere else it would cost an arm and a leg. Its like a theme already started for you and you just have to flow with it. Thats why I am doing a shabby chic kind of theme. Aww it did smell so good at SBP!!! I wonder what kind of flowers, if any they would have in February. Since its warm enough there I would think they would have something?? Hmm....I will have to find out!

Toni, I enjoyed reading your planning session report and seeing all your pictures. All your choices look great! I am looking forward to seeing your floral budget, I am in the process of trying to cut mine now!

Oh that is what I am waiting for. That is an area I can really do some damage. I tried to stick with in season floral which is the roses and hydrangeas but I am all about lots of flowers and decorations!! I tried to be good but I am scared...lol
