 blinged out- our crystal embellishment will have a golden hue because our accents are gold. flourish This is the font used to craft our cake topper. It's raw unfinished in wood but we will decorate it with hotfix crystals.    |
Wedding Cake
Finalizing little details
Okay maybe big details. I've gone back and forth with what I've wanted for a cake and have realized that I needed a collabo of what I've been looking at to call my own.
We are having the cake shown with the glittery embellishment, 4 tier squared, with black ribbon around the top (or bottom, left it up to the cake lady to decided which looks better) and the flourish design of the second cake. The bottom layer will be white with bavarian cream Second layer will be red velvet with cream cheese Third layer will be lemon with mango mousse Top layer (take home) will be marble cake with Irish Cream White Chocolate Mouuse YUMMY I ordered the cake topper shown from Crafty Eddy and will hot fix crystals on it to bling it out. |

Red Inspiration Evolves
An update: My inspiration has evolved!
As I started taking steps towards my previous inspiration, the things I started picking up for the wedding evolved into a vision I didn't realize I had. The sunset & champagne look was beautiful but because my groom loves his red, a lot of the items we decided on came in red. The newest inspiration consists of: Black Espresso Deep Red Gold Ivory Pops of green (in foliage) And in this inspiration are mostly things we've already committed to. It's so nice to see my wedding coming together. It's not exactly as I envisioned, but I love it! |

The Final Inspiration: Sunset & Champagne
I went and booked my florist the other day. And from the certainty I found with the choices in flowers and colors I made, came my last and final motif choice for my wedding. I can't believe I have finally found my inspiration. Now I will allow everything to evolve from this one concept: Sunset & Champagne.
Everything will be in ivory, gold and champagne hues with accent colors of a summer sunset, reds, oranges, yellows, peaches. The feeling will be romantic and elegant with accents of diamonds and pearls. I'm so excited about this choice! I can finally see everything coming together now! Ambience Inspiration:  Attire & Bridal Party Inspiration:  *Bride & Groom in Ivory *Groomsmen & RB in Tan suits w/ champagne vests & ties *Bridesmaids in champagne *FG's in Red & Gold dresses (like shown) *MOB/MOG in red *linens in gold & champagnes w/ golden manzanita crystal tree centerpieces |

I've almost got it, I've been working on it.
The base color will be truffle, including the table linens & BM dresses. And they will be accented with red & gold. Flower colors will include oranges and fuschias.....that's not so bad right? Who knows...it could still change from here on out! |

 Second dress idea from DB |
Ask a Question
Who's doing a dress change?
I'm starting to wonder if I should buy a second, lighter dress to wear at the end of my reception to dance in. After trying on my dress again, I'm starting to wonder if it's going to weigh me down (no pun intended). Are any of you doing a dress change and if so:
1) Are you changing into another bridal gown? 2) At what point do you plan on changing outfits? |

Who's family are you spending Thanksgiving with?
Are you doing Thanksgiving with your family, his or something totally different?
My dad isn't here for Thanksgiving and my mom has to prepare a meal for about 20 people with just my cousin for help. My in-laws are also having their traditional Thanksgiving dinner and they are going on at the same time. My mom insists that she will be okay and for me to go to the in-laws but I feel like she needs me. She takes care of disabled people and has to prepare for them and their families who will be joining them. She will have to prepare the food and do the entertaining. I told DH that I was going to help her this year because my dad is out of town and my other family members are also going to be out of town and he got so upset, like I was deliberately trying not to go to his parents house. But how could I leave my mom in such a pickle like that? Anyhow, I am making 2 of every dish I'm bringing and will take a separate car to the in-laws drop off the dishes say "hello" and go help my mom, I think there is no question that that's where I should be. Who are you spending Thanksgiving with....how do you decide where to be if you only can do one? Ahhh, the joys of coupledom. |

Finally, a wedding!
Ray and I are already married, but we never had a wedding. It was just the 2 of us in a romantic ceremony and right after we promised that we would do it again in 2009 when the 4th of July (our anniversary) would fall on a Saturday, and I would be graduated from school. We would have all our friends and loved ones come together in a traditional ceremony with tons of events and get-togethers.....it was all talk until now.... here we are, less than a year away from reaffirming our love with our dream wedding.
