Various updates with pictures and 4 months away! 
Well I have some various updates to share and this is also a post for myself because I feel the need to organize my thoughts. I am now exactly 4 months out (well in about a 1/2 hour I will be) and this puts more pressure on me. It is all really starting to fly by now. I can't believe how much closer its getting.
Today I spent a while talking to Stan from STVS Video. My original package was a 4 hour intimate plus. I am not having an intimate wedding obviously but at the time I was not doing any dances or things like that. Well now that my guest list is up to 38 that has changed and we decided to do the whole show. So DF and I called up Stan who I have to say is the sweetest most helpful man ever as well as his wife! He called me back right away, his wife responded to my emails fast so if you haven't secured your videographer yet I highly recommend him! Anyway, we decided, or I should say DF decided we should get Stan for the entire day. So we discussed packages and options with Stan and now our package went from a low price of $1620.00 to the fabulous price of $3500.00.
Here is what we decided on:~8 Hours of coverage, starting 1 hour before the ceremony
~A Webcast of our ceremony (loving this!)
~Video shot in HD with 3 DVDs/Blu-Ray Discs
~A Courtship Story. They will interview us on how we met, dating, proposal, etc. then Bobby had the idea, since he videotaped the proposal, to see if Stan could incorporate it into this portion of the video and Stan can! It will be awesome! I can't wait to see it all together.
~Then I have the Fairytale Book opening which you can see a sample of on his website. Its really cute. I figure you are getting married in Disney, might as well play up the fairytale theme!
I am really happy with this change. It will be great to have this all documented! I can't believe DF agreed to this.
Ok so now I have been thinking about my crinoline that I bought and I have to say it doesn't feel poofy enough for me. I have always imagined a big poofy dress and that is what I am going for so here is a picture of my poor little crinoline sitting on a bed in our storage room.
Poor crinoline doesn't realize it will soon be replaced.
I bought a new crinnie on Ebay. It is a 4 hoop super full crinoline. That was the actual description so I am hoping it lives up to its name. I was not sure about the hoops all I could picture was the dress flooping up into my face when I sat down but I thought I would give it a whirl. Here is a picture of the new poofy crinnie.
I will post pictures with my dress with the new crinnie to get your opinions.
Ok so tonight I was bored and felt like I was a little unorganized in the wedding area so I thought I would put all my wedding junk together. Its so funny because when you start off planning you are so super organized but later down the road you are a total mess. So I took out all my stuff and got two plastic boxes to organize my chaos. Instead of organizing right away I played around with my program basket. Its a plain wicker basket that I found at Michaels for about $4.00 so I thought I would decorate it.
Before I post pictures I thought I would just share that my wedding is about as girly as you can get. The whole theme seems to be ribbons, bows, pink and roses so I thought I would mimic that in my basket decor.
Better than a plain basket!
So after I got that together I put everything in their boxes and organized as best as I could. Here is everything in its boxed up glory.
My Magic Kingdom/Hollywood Studios photoshoot bouquet stored safely in a Coach box!
All of my invitations and dodads I will be decorating them with. These are my shower and wedding invites. I was to lazy to edit the names, stalk me if you wish. I am not that exciting..
Here is the plastic box with all of my wedding favor supplies, the program basket, toasting glasses, knife and server, cake table decorations, silk bouquet and ribbons.
and this is the box with my personal items I will be taking with me like my tiara, jewelry, bridal undies..lol, lingerie, mickey bride ears, just married pins, df's cufflinks, bridal purse..hmm and some other things.
Here is the body bag a.k.a. my dress
I did mention ribbon before and I bought some off of the Knot that is personalized. I am going to use it along with some sheer ribbon I bought from Michaels for my favor boxes. I tried to get good pics but it didn't work out so well.
I bought white ribbon with black writing to go along with the silver sheer ribbon.
and I bought the Azelea ribbon with silver writing to go with the light pink sheer ribbon.
I have also had a tragedy. My beloved Donald Garter has perished. I don't know how I did it but I ripped it.
I know that I could probably sew it back up, but this gave me an excellent reason to buy more stuff so I went on ebay and bought a brand new garter. I have to say that I like this one SOO much more!
In other news, I spoke with Rose, the florist, and upgraded to add chair covers to the SBP chairs. I hate those plastic chairs with a passion and needed to do something. Rose suggested I do silver sashes since I will have tons of pink already and I totally agreed. I am very excited I added them!!
This Saturday we MAY go look at tuxes but we have to see how that pans out. I am still on DF to do his stupid drawing so I can get the favors made but, he is a slacker.
MEN! Hmm..I guess this is all for now. Pretty long update but it helped me organize myself!
Can't wait to see how you like it 
I just love them. All the floral detail is lovely. And the bouquet made me all warm and fuzzy!
Btw, I LOVE the garter! 
I can't believe DB's could do this...I had a lot of problems with them for my wedding and ended up in a dispute with them through the better business bureau...it might not be a bad idea for you to report this to the company. If you already had your money, they should be held responsible for not getting your dress to you as promised. The money and receipt act as a contract. I would definitely report this incident to the bbb...I hope you find a dress tomorrow...keep us updated!!!
