LOVE!

The other night I was watching the Style Network (thank god for premium channels!) and there was a show on called My Celebrity Wedding by theknot.com. It was about a couple from New Jersey who was getting their entire wedding planned by theknot and the inspiration was Christina Aguilera's wedding. Of course I decided this had to be recorded and I am sooooooooooo glad that I did! Their wedding definitely was not my style but their centerpieces were! They used the same orchids I posted about here and paired them with hydrangeas - I almost died. It was so beautiful how they used the two together and kept the color pallet at plain white but used different colored table cloths for a pop of color. Can someone say "yes please"? I searched everywhere (theknot, the photographers website - no, I am not a stalker) to try and find pics and this is the best I could do... If you look closely you can see the hydrangeas under the orchids. Oh, be still my heart...

Hello lover...

Mr. Smith and I are going to register this weekend (yippy!). We haven't picked out anything yet but I do know that this is the first thing on my list:

weird...

I don't know why the hair post ended up under the cake one. Anyone know how to change the order?

More cakes!

I found some more cakes I am in love with curtesy of Style Me Pretty and theknot!

I absolutely adore the white one with the white flowers and the green thatch(ish) patterned cake! What is your favorite overall?

Hair!

Since I can't play dress-up for another two months (who knew your wedding dress takes four months to come in?!) I have started to think about my hair. I purchased a cathedral length ivory veil for the big day and I think having my hair up would help show off how absolutely gorgeous it is. I know I really want a soft, simple up-do and really want to put some sort of flower in it. However, after looking at the first picture I really like the hair piece!

Does anyone else notice that all of the models/brides have blonde hair? When did people get so biased again us beautiful brunettes!? (all pictures curtesty of theknot.com)

Bouquet

So I finally saw the Sex and the City movie last night (better late than never, right?) and I absolutely fell in love with Carrie's bouquet (well, before it was smashed to smithereens)!

It is so classic and elegant and not what I was expecting for her at all! The bird in the hair, yes. The gorgeous rose bouquet, no. I think this might be the inspiration for my own wedding bouquet and then the hydrangeas for my bridesmaids. I knew seeing this movie was a dangerous idea!

I love chocolate.

I love chocolate (hence the title) and I really want to have a chocolate cake at my wedding. However, I don't like brown or the idea of having a brown wedding cake. I guess I will have to break my rule (if chocolate was meant to be white it wouldn't brown) and have a white chocolate wedding cake on the big day. Here are a few designs I found that I am leaning toward...

I really like the idea of having different sized cakes but I also really like different height tiers. I will have to do some more research and find some pictures so you can see what I mean. My mom has a great cake lady who basically said I could bring in a picture or idea of whatever I want and she will make it for me. How lucky am I?

It is Friday and I am dreaming of cake... is this day over yet?
