The Wedding Photos!
These photos are done by my best friend Jill Person, a wedding photographer out of Boston. She was one of my bridesmaids, and not my main photographer. Her work is breathtaking! Check out her work at www.dandoke.com (that's her boss). I am waiting on the proofs from my main photographer. :)

The Conscious Bride - A must read for all brides. It helped me a lot. "This wedding guide considers the real-world ups-and-downs that engaged women experience, and offers advice from those who have been there on how to make the process one that celebrates happiness and commitment. Nissinen, a bridal consultant, offers support and encouragement on identifying one's true feelings and goals, and avoiding the pitfalls associated with complicated wedding preparations." | |

At first I decided against the cathedral veil, but after seeing all the Knotties with their long veils, I said what the heck. I love it now! I will wear the finger-tip one at the reception. | |

My
mom and Dad and us at our taste-testing. They set it up as the real deal! It was all delicious. |
Of course, the real deal has a larger table, but this gives you an idea of the centerpiece which is a candle lamp, mirror, and votives which is included. |

Cakes.
Mary-Grace is THE BEST pastry chef in Orlando. The actual cake is 4-tiers, with
each tier a different flavor: Top: Mint Chocolate Chip. 2nd: Pina Colada. 3rd:
Chocolate with Orange Buttercream. 4th: Wedding White with Raspberry. The taste-testing
was delicious! Cake design will be based on the ideas you see below. I am forgoing
the fondant drape. Bottom and 2nd tier will have scroll work with silver edible
beads (some hidden Mickeys!). And the other 2 tiers will mimic the flower pattern
from my dress and will have tiny colored fondant flowers with silver beads.
Beautiful!
Awesome
cake for a shower ;-)
