I'm back with another update! Only 4 months before the wedding! According to WeddingWire's checklist, I'm overdue on ordering a cake... I've actually been talking to a cake lady, and it hasn't been fully finalized yet! I did think about having a pretty and trendy cake, as most weddings these days seem to have. WeddingWire has a great article on all of the 2018 wedding cake trends! I definitely ooh'd and ahh'd at a few of them, like the hand-painted and gold leaf ones. But in the end, we have our heart set on our favorite flavor: berry chantilly! I actually hate cake and most sweets, but for some reason, I love this type! Brian even got it for me when he threw me a surprise birthday party when we first started dating :)
Another big thing I got out of the way is floral! We came in right on budget! I've been working closely with Angel from Love & Sparrows, who is extremely amazing at picking floral styles, and pays super close attention to details I like and don't like. She has also given me great ideas based on the random photos I've sent her, and ways to re-use floral so I can stay within budget. I'm so grateful for her!
The next big thing on my list is to order invitations, set up a wedding website, alter my dress, and finalize some decor and details! I've also been working with my friend Vivian on some handlettered art that I'm super excited about! Can't wait to show you guys her handiwork! I'll update you guys again in June!
