Just caught up on your PJ! I LOVE it I'm so happy you decided to get married around Disney World! We also kind of went through the same thing and our now getting married at house of blues!
I know you're pretty set on paper flowers, they look awesome! I am actually planning on doing sola flowers. They're wood based flowers you dip in acrylic paint/water.
Hello! I'm so glad we've decided to do this. I'd love to see your House of Blues wedding. I think the courtyard area looked neat from the photos I'd seen online.
The sola flowers are so pretty, I may have to look into them...

Mine wasn't too bad, but I did have appointments both times and I didn't go on a Saturday either, so maybe that helps. I think taking a day off work and going then would be a really good idea and you'd probably get a lot of individual attention. I know you don't feel comfortable in them, but I actually really loved the lace dress from the first place on you!
He actually stayed up later than me last night to finish cutting them out. We made them with my Cricut. There were some tears and frustrations on my part... I made a couple and they came out fine, they just helped me see the little tweaks I needed to make. There was zero problem cutting out the swirls and mickey heads. Then the design is finalized, and I try to start up the real ones... and it starts ripping mickey heads off
I swear we ended up using 30ish sheets of cardstock to make 15 Save the Dates. Oh well. Now they just need assembled, which is actually easier than cutting them out and peeling them off the Cricut mat. It's a little time consuming, because I had to get glue dots for a few areas (like the middle of the O's/0's, and I ended up tacking the 4 main mickey heads down for safety), but not terrible. I definitely would not have gone this route with a big wedding though unless I was getting paid for it 
I guess I liked the girl at the first shop picking different styles, because I don't know what I want. I might try David's again, but I think I'll have to cruise the website a bit more to see if anything jumps out at me, because only one did in person that day, and I couldn't find it! I saw it on a mannequin, and I didn't end up asking about it since I felt abandoned lol. I think I'll definitely take a day off work, because they've got us working most of this month and next, including the weekends 

It was Memorial Day, and the store seemed understaffed, but I asked about getting an estimate for band. My ring doesn't have a matching band, so it has to be custom made. So I sit down with this guy, and he asks a few questions about what I'm thinking. Here is the ring for reference:

That sounds like a rip off to me.
) and also listen to the house music ourselves, which we enjoyed. It might sound silly, but I wanted to make sure we liked it. Making our own lunch playlist and trying to get a speaker down there sounds like a bit of a pain right now, and I think I read there might be a fee? Or maybe I'm making that up from when I was pricing out the Attic (we've gone quite a different direction from there!


but we got it all straightened out. It turns out they need our original venue for Food and Wine, and moved us but neglected to tell us. Then when I questioned the new location (and price) on our BEO, they told me why and offered to see if we could share the original space. Thankfully, before I had to push back and tell them that I did not want to share the venue with a queue, and I did not want to pay the higher fee (as it was not our fault or decision to be moved), they came back and gave us the original venue price. There was a bit more back and forth (where I wanted to ask, are you reading my emails?
) and it was finally all figured out.
