I know this is mega mega early but i need to try get myself organised and have somewhere to keep all my ideas! My Disney wedding is in its very early stages but i really cant wait to get planning even if it is soooo far away! 
So anyway Im Nicki and Im 25, my fiancé is Dean and he is 24, we live in England (another reason why we have to get planning now) we have been together since July 2008 (3 and a half years ish) and engaged since September 2010- Dean proposed in Magic Kingdom by the castle but near to Snow Whites wishing well as he is a bit shy so didnt want too many people to see! I am completely obsessed with Disney, ever since i was little, I have been to Disneyland Paris, Disneyland California and more frequently Disney World Orlando- i also love America so much i wish we could live there! I took Dean on his first Disney trip in 2009 and he loved it, we are going on our 3rd Florida holiday together this September and cant wait!
We decided not to set a date for the wedding straight away as we were saving for a deposit on buying a house (we now own a house yay) but always knew it would be September 2014! After going back and forth we finally decided at the beginning of the year that we would have the wedding at Disney World and have an evening reception back in the UK- we are aiming for Weds 17th September for the ceremony but obviously cant confirm this until next year!
We are inviting 45 people to the wedding but obviously it isnt cheap to come to Orlando from the UK so i think the figure will be much less- for this reason we dont know yet whether we will be having an Escape or Wishes package! I think if we can afford i would prefer the Wishes package because i want a private reception, i dont like the idea of having dinner with Joe public in my wedding dress!
Im not sure what i want to do at night- i think maybe the Epcot Illuminations Desert party depending on cost because we can have a disco back home for the evening reception!
I am not sure where i want the wedding, i like the wedding pavilion, Dean likes the idea of it being at Epcot! We may look in September when we are on holiday at the different locations!
I am having a Cinderella theme for our evening reception, tables named after the characters, cupcakes with the castle and glass slipper on, Cinderella characters on the cake- im not too fussed about having a theme at the wedding as i will be trying to stick to the minimum expenditure for my budget so can save money by not having centrepieces, favours, place names etc they would be cheaper to buy outside of Disney but coming from the UK i am limited on how much i can bring in my suitcase
The only thing i know i really want to splurge on whatever the cost at this stage is Mickey and Minnie at the reception
My colour scheme will be royal blue, really bright vibrant blue, my girls will be in this colour and the boys cravats will be this colour- also the cake and my bouquet and the bows on the chair covers if i can afford them! Also to contrast i want the bridesmaids to carry bright orange gerbera daisies and wear orange shoes! Im not sure whether the mens buttonholes will be blue or orange! I want the men to wear grey suits, which i will buy in England off the high street!
I have asked 7 girls to be bridesmaids and 4 little bridesmaids- however i understand not all of them will be afford to come so im not sure who my bridesmaids are lol i have my sister Jo, my best friends Diane and Hannah, Deans sister Kim, my cousin Katie and Victoria and my oldest school friend Sarah- my ickle ones are my gorgeous adopted nieces Alice, Amy and Emma who are Hannahs daughters and the 4th one Amelia wont be here until June as she is still in Dianes tummy lol
Dean hasnt got a best man yet, he doesnt know who to ask! But he has picked 2 ushers, our friend John and his brother-in-law Gavin plus his little nephew Rory as page boy!
I dont know what dress i want at all, going to look next year for some inspiration- i want the bridesmaids in 50s style skater dresses, Dessy do a gorgeous one but im not sure on my BM dress budget yet as i dont know how many BMs i will have lol
I am definitely going to use Randy Chapman for my piccys
Music has to be Disney Disney Disney as i walk down the aisle, first dance etc lol not sure what songs i want yet- my first dance back home is going to be You got the love by Florence and the Machine (im not sure if she is well-known in America?)
I have ordered my Save The Dates, they will be posted out Tuesday, they are amazing, the seller is on ebay and shes just so creative, she did them in the Disney font using the cheesy little poem i wrote- i will put a pic of the sample on when i work out how to post pics! Everyone thinks im crazy sending invites out 2 and a half years in advance but i want to give my family and friends chance to save up to come- i wont be disappointed if our wedding is just me and Dean as i know how much it costs to come to Florida
Do you have hen dos in America? I think they are called bachelorette parties? I arent really having a proper hen do coz of how expensive it will be for my family and friends to come to Florida so were just going to have a night out in my local town and my best friends, mum, sister etc will have a couple of treatments with me at the local spa!
Wow I have more ideas for the wedding than i thought- its the important stuff like the actual wedding day that i have no idea what i want! If anyone can suggest ideas that would be great- i think i want to get married at 12pm to get a full days wear out of my dress, and i want a sit down 3 course meal, i just dont know what i want to do at night- it doesnt need to be too late coz on Florida time i am usually tired by half 10 haha i think thats it, im gona go try work out how to put pics on!
