i decided that i had to have a wedding planner. i hired cheryl's friend brooke. she's been great! she has definitely been keeping me on track! it's nice to know that she is going to be there on the big day and ensure everything runs smoothly!
we booked our wedding cake! we got it from www.fluffythoughts.com my office had ordered cupcakes from here before so i knew that the cakes at least tasted good. when mike and i went for the tasting the owner (lara) was amazing! she took the ideas that we had and came up with an amazing sketch. he flavor combination's were fantastic! she was even on food network last week for one of their cake challenges! we will have a 3 layer cake similar to this:

the coloring and flowered decorations are obviously completely different but the squared design is the same. our top and bottom layers will be marble cake filled with chocolate ganache, vanilla butter cream, caramel and krunchies. the middle layer is a white cake with passion fruit puree, blackberry butter cream and fresh strawberries. yum. i still haven't decided on the design of mike's grooms cake. all i know is that the flavor will be red velvet!
we also booked our dj, purchased our save-the-dates and... BOOKED OUR HONEYMOON! i'm overly excited about it! we are going to go to bali and hong kong. it's a long story as to how we came up with this trip and it's not worth getting into. we leave from dca on sept. 12, have a layover in chicago, then arrive in hong kong at 8pm on the 13th. we stay in hong kong for 3 days. on the 16th we make our way to bali! mike found an amazing resort for us: http://theroyalsantrian.com> we stay here until the 21st. coming home is a total of 32 hours travel time! we go from bali to hong kong to vancouver to jfk then finally get back on the 22nd.
i also finally found my shoes! i have been looking for blue designer peep-toe flats since i got engaged. i was about to give up hope on finding all of that criteria in one shoe. then i found these:

how perfect! they were also almost half off the original price. yay me!
oh and i also purchased my dress and picked out bridesmaid dresses. you think i would have mentioned this first! maybe i'm just an odd bride.
now it looks like we can really start concentrating on the details. decorations, flowers, gifts...
