Major Update Time!
Maid of Honour: I chose my SIL, I love her, and she was the first person I told about DF when we first started going out... I told her after dating DF for 2 weeks that I thought he was THE ONE and apparently I was right. So I thought it fiting that she be my Matron of Honour.
Her Dress: its from Alfred Angelo... and it separates the skirt will be tea length in Navy (cause she is short and then it doesnt have to be altered too much) and then the top will look like this (only with navy detailing):
I also now have a Junior bridesmaid... I made this decision because of my train... I was not expecting to have one and I need someone to make sure that it always looks fabulous... therefore JUNIOR BRIDESMAID TO THE RESCUE! She will be wearing a dress from David's Bridal, I dont know how to copy the pic... so here is the whole wedding party... except MOH's dress is wrong.
Changed my mind on invitations... while at the planning session DF and I saw scroll invites and were like "those are the ones!!" and then when we got back home and emailed the Impressions I was told it would be like $1300 for 50, so I was like "ummm... thats a little out of our price range". So, since the wedding is not any one particular disney theme we thought the Mouse would be the best. So we are going with these:
Still about twice what I was going to pay for the Snow White ones.
Menu: Ok this has been redone about 4 times and will likely change again... but here it goes.
For the Cocktail Hour we will have:
Gingered Chicken Skewers
Bacon Crusted Beef and Blue Cheese
Crab Cakes
Premium Cheese Display
Dinner
Appetizer: Chedder Cheese Soup
Salad: Medley of Greens, Herbs and Flower Petals, Rosewater Vinaigrette and Toasted Sunflower Seeds
Main Course (Pick 1):
Seared Beef filet with Red wine Demi, Asiago cheese mashed potatoes, and seasonal vegetables
Thyme Marinated Chicken Breast with Cabernet Sauce, Belle Passe Cheese Risotto, and seasonal vegetables
Island Spiced Fresh Water Tilapia with Red Onion Marmalade, confetti rice and seasonal vegetabes
I would like to have a Sorbet course, however, right now the budget does not allow for it
Instead of normal rolls and butter, we have requested pretzel rolls and dijon butter like they have at CRT.
We are going to have the Call Brands bar package, I just hope that people drink! (Never thought I would be wanting that at my wedding)
We were also going to have a chocolate covered strawberry on each plate, but when I looked at the price I realized that they wanted more than $10 a strawberry! so they have gone too.
Cake Flavours. The top layer will be Almond Cake with Amaretto mousse, the second layer is Chocolate Cake and Raspberry Mousse, the cake that the bridge connects to will be Marble with Bailey's Mouse, and then there will be a sheet cake that will be yellow cake with chocolate mousse. I still cannot decide on what to have on the connecting cake. My mom did buy me this:
but I dont know if I want it on my cake. Disney has it down that we want the cinderella prince charming that they carry, but its not the one from the picture... and thats the one I like. So, I dont know what I want for that.
I am happy with how I think my flowers are going to be, however I do not like what Rose has down for some of the centerpieces. I emailed her, but have gotten no response. I just figure its because its Feb and a million people are getting married or want disney florals.
I still have the landau coach included in my budget! this makes me happy cause I have always dreamed of arriving to my wedding that way.
My vision for my reception was to make the ballroom into a forest with tons of trees and twinkle lights. But... Disney's price for this = $10500! So again... it was cut. Now I have the standard ficus tree package, but I am thinking about exchanging it for the Storybook Entrance, I think that is really sweet, and would be a cute photo op.
We are using the Yacht Clubs linens, but having chair covers with a sash in dark blue.
In Disney's budget they have 2 motorcoaches included, in mine I only have one. I dont think enough people are going to be staying on Disney property for me to need 2. I may cut it completely, as I have only told family and they will have cars, or I could send the limo back for them.
I booked Randy Chapman for the wedding, and for a Trash the Dress shoot sometime in June, after my mother leaves and I dont have to worry about her finding out. I figure that my dress wasnt that expensive (I was expecting to pay between 2000 and 3000) so why not wear it again and get some amazing pictures. Randy says that we should get the pictures into contests etc cause they are going to be amazing... we are going to do at least part of it in DTD! DF always tells me he wants to walk through that fountain infront of Planet Hollywood... well during the shoot we are going to!
DF and I booked our honeymoon!!! We are going to
Disneyland two days after the wedding! Neither of us have been there before and are really excited! We are going to stay at the Grand Californian!
When I told me SIL (who's never been to WDW), she was like "wait... isnt that where you are getting married?"
There are way to many people in this world that don't know the difference.
With all of the plans there comes a final budget, and its scary, but then I realized something, we get the deposit back in the end... but I didnt figure that into my calculations. It made me happier, cause now I have a little more wiggle room in the budget for changes.
OK. thats it for today... stay tuned for more drama whenever it happens
ing your pj, katie 
About half the price of my initial BEO... lol
: Round french bouquet with dyed dark blue roses, white roses and stephanotis. It will be mainly blue roses with white roses as accents. It will have hidden Mickeys in Swarovski crystals within the bouquet and on the cuff. The total is $355.
