BM Dresses pt. 2

If you recall the last post about the ladies dresses (here), the search didn’t end there. Here are a few more options we looked in to:

Finding the BM dresses was much more of a task than finding my wedding gown. At this point I wanted to forget about one of “my rules” and consider a different look. Different dresses in the same color/ color palette:

Though it would make things much easier and each individual would be happy picking a dress that suits her body type, it was easier for me to say than to decide! I was determined to find the dress.

Drunken sweet or high!

Cake tasting…I could do this on a weekly basis, well maybe monthly instead (the tasting that is). To be honest I was more excited about tasting the different flavors and picking the grooms cake over the wedding cake. Choosing the cake was one of my least favorite tasks; it was going to be cut anyways. Well, same for the grooms cake but at least I could get a bit more creative and crazy with his cake.
For the wedding cake, I had one thing in mind…Keep it simple!! No cake-topper, no flowers to pretty it up (because I’m not big fan of flowers, just as a nice surprise gift from hubby but that’s about it). As for the grooms cake I already knew what I wanted it to look like, I just couldn’t wait to see it executed and see his reaction since it was a surprise!

After I left the cake tasting, I went straight to a coffee shop and ordered a cup of black coffee. I needed a balance, I was on a sugar high 🙂

Cake flavor picked for the wedding:
All!!! (seriously all, lol!)  Each tier (3) was a different flavor, the remaining flavors were part of the kitchen cake (aka cost effective because it didn’t need to be bedazzled for photographs 🙂 The grooms cake was chocolate/ chocolate mint.

Here they are :

You can’t see it clearly in the picture but the cake has silver glitter all over it and I simply personalized it by including bands which somewhat matched my wedding band around each tier. Oh, and each tier was a different flavor.
It was a great surprise indeed, he loved it!! Yes, a Playstation 3 with the joystick.
So that concludes the tales of the cakes!

Thanks & will do!

It’s been a while, I know!! But I’m excited because I have my wedding pictures which means I can start my re-caps soon 🙂

Since I have been out of the loop for about 4 months due to school, work, adjusting to married life and more, I thought posting would be meaningless; too much time had went by. But thanks to a few emails received about updates I have decided to get back on track.

Thank you to those that had a continued interest and still wanted to catch up. Because of you my fire has been sparked! I have a better handle on things now and will be able to fill you in on what went on with the planning phase (all the diy projects) up to the wedding, awesome vendors I’ve met, and of course the wedding day recaps! Thereafter, the saga continues with life and everything else that comes with it (other diy projects, recipes, adventures and more).  No matter what happenings and surprises life has for me, I will be Ready As I Can Be.
