Flowers, Flowers, Flowers and Cake

One of the best decisions that we have made in planning the wedding has been to let someone else do our floral arrangements. Tiffany loves flowers and gets to work with them with her students which makes letting someone else do the floral arrangements somewhat difficult. We have, however, found someone who went to the same school as Tiffany and does absolutely stunning work. Seeing Botanica Floral Designs in several different locations including the ceremony site made the decision easy, especially because she is very personable. We can not wait to see what the arrangements will look like sitting on the table and being carried down the isle by the bridesmaids.

We have also decided on a cake and don't expect any other tidbits of information besides it is going to be made by Sweet Cakes by Rebecca,will have several different flavors, and taste as good as it looks. What was great about working with Sweet Cakes was that while we were tasting they were sketching a design of the cake for us see. Not only did they listen to our desires, they took everything into account and designed something that should be personal and gorgeous. 

Currently we are tasting different caterers and hoping to make a decision shortly. One of the most surprising expenses we have found is any hidden service charges and items such as linens. For example, a good looking quote from a caterer may not contain linens or anything else that we would have to go find on our own.

More coming soon!
