This is not even including what i need for the ceremony .. i could just imagine what it would cost with the ceremony elements! I am definitley going with an outside vendor for the reception as well.. i got a quote from suzannenichols.com & it is less than this including the ceremony elements .. Me & Suzanne r still tweeking some things for the ceremony and reception but when i am done i will post the final price.. I just thought i would see what disney would charge & it made me chuckle a bit.. my hearts desire is 2 get married at disney but it doesnt mean i have 2 use their stuff!!


Peace out

Wowzers!! Glad you're able to use an outside florist as that BEO is a little pricey! Can't wait to hear what Suzanne comes up with!

 

[Icecoldpenguin]

your BEO is a little pricey but at the same time it is a lot lower than others I have seen. I can see my ceremony and reception stuff costing about this much maybe a little more but that is still low compared to the average for a disney wedding.

if you can find something less expensive then go for it!

Do you have any pics of these 'crystal trees' ??
I just changed 1 of my roman tables to 2 rounds, each of my roman tables currently has $1015 in centerpieces on it. LOL but maybe these crystal trees would look nice on my rounds for some height! Let me know!!
All of it of course sounds wonderful!!

1 reason it is not as high as other disney weddings is bcuz im not using real flowers as centerpieces... that is a huge savings in itself!

I had 2 figure out how to cut $6,000 QUICK! I went over the BEO & realized that the floral BEO which is $3342.50 is apart of this so i can take that out completely . I am also taking out the white dance floor $880, solo guitrist $575 (bcuz i hired christine the harpist) & custom audio system $828.58 (which i didn't even asked 4, the room is small enough where they should b able 2 hear us without the microphones )= $5626.08 Now i can take a deep breath


Peace out

Wow, that BEO would have me sweating too. I'm glad you were able to make cuts and bring it down to where you wanted it. You're gonna end up with a $50,000 wedding for $20,000! You should seriously teach seminars on saving money.

nice work on cutting out the things you did to get to where you wanted to be!!! A careful combing through can really calm down your initial panic!

I remember our first real BEO after most of the details were set and not realizing the floral BEO was in our event BEO. We seriously were sweating until we realized we were double counting!!!

It all sounds really great though!!

 

[tric8783]

Looks like you are in good shape!!! Everything is going to be so gorgeous and within your budget, yippeee!! What are you doing for your custom menu for the DP? Just looking for options as we have no idea what we're going to serve yet!

 

[orangetiggs]

We had our recrption in the whitehall room and just had our ipod playing and this was plenty loud enough

Our beo started around 30000 we got it down to 11000!

[virtuous girl]

I think this will b 1 of my favorite post bcuz it is about BLING!

I went shopping with my MOH & bought a bracelet that is attached 2 a ring.. I LOVE IT

I will wear it on my right hand.. i think that this will b kinda of different.. The BEST part of me getting this bracelet is the BARGAINING i did The original price was $54.99, i got it for $38!!!!! That is about 35% off I now u ladies r proud of me

Now in a previous post i told u guys that i am getting the 2 tier mad hatter cake.. I told the florist that i love bling so she email me this photo & i was hooked

In this photo i am getting the crystal cake topper & the crystal border...
She also emailed me this photo with crystal dots but i am afraid that my guest will accidently swallow 1 so i declined...

Since my ceremony is in the white hall rm i wanted 2 decorate the room. I am using crystal wedding trees that r 32 inches high up & down both sides of the aisle.. This is a picture suzanne emailed me so i can c how high they r next to the chairs..

I am also using the trees as centerpieces for the reception.. I have decided 2 use the roman long table since i have such a small guest list.. I think crystal down the long table will b BEAUTIFUL these r pics of mock up centerpieces...

I also got one 5 ft tree 2 go in the middle of the table with the 32 inch ones 2 go on both sides of the table... this pic is of the 5 ft & 32 in trees 2gether but remember the whole entire length of the table with b covered with the trees...

This is the 5ft tree buy itself..

I really think these pics does the trees no justice at all but i think they will look awesome with the blue up lighting..

Hopefully this post will hold u guys up until next saturday bcuz i am working 68hrs in 6 dAYS (i keep telling myself it is 4 the wedding) so i will not post anything new until then but i will comment if anyone else decides 2


Peace out

First, I love the bling!

Everything is GORGEOUS!! You are going to have such a beautiful wedding! Your plans sound awesome and it will be just breathtaking to see it all come together!

 

[BethieTink]

Michelle,

Just wanted to stop in and say hi!

Wow, you do love your bling, don't you? It all looks great. And at a great price.

In regard to your guests eating the crystals, if they are put into the fondant, it shouldn't be an issue. Disney typically doesn't serve the fondant, so your guests will never come into contact with them. So, if you still want them on the cake, you could do it.

I also like the picture of the table that you posted. I want to do something similar with a pink overlay, silver chargers, pink napkins and silver chairs. I was worried it might be too much, but now I think I might be sold. Things that make you go hhmmm..

Good luck with all the hours at work. Gives me a chance to get caught up a bit. Have a good weekend.
