This past weekend was a whirlwind of wedding activities. Saturday morning, I took the final bridesmaid in to pick her dress out. Eight girls, eight dresses! I just hope that when the dresses come in there is very little to alter!!! Now we just have to get the guys in to get their suits ordered. In the afternoon, my friend Allison, owner of Cake Done Right, came over and brought us some amazing samples of her delectable cakes. We tried the chocolate back in February for Roberts birthday, so we decided to try a lemon chiffon, red velvet, mud cake and Irish Car Bomb inspired cake! So many different flavors and so much cake! The lemon chiffon is the winner all around. We also decided to go with the regular chocolate and the Irish Car Bomb cake. So there's another thing checked off the list!
Sunday, the ladies on the board for the floral design club threw me a bridal shower. It was strange to go to a bridal shower and knowing it was for me. I've been to so many for other friends and family. It was such a lovely afternoon with all these friends that I have made since starting to take classes three years ago.
The show Robert has been working on finally went up this weekend which means he will be around a little bit more to help with some of the planning...hopefully!
The other update is the great plate hunt of 2012. We are trying to figure out a way to save money and be "green" so we have been playing with a couple of different ideas on the dishes. One of the suggestions has been to use bamboo plates which are biodegradable. The plates look really nice and its definitely a more cost-effective idea. The other idea is to buy dishes from the dollar tree store and re-sell them after the wedding. We still haven't decided as of yet, but hopefully we will come to a conclusion by the end of the week!
Well, its time for me to sign off and get to work! Last week of the first session of summer camp starts today!
