"Let Them Eat Cake"

Derrick and I will be going to Let Them Eat Cake tomorrow for our wedding cake tasting appointments. We will be tasting 3 different types of cake!

1. Chocolate cake with fudge mousse filling
2. Red Velvet with cream cheese filling
3. Pink Champagne with raspberry filling

They told us to bring ideas of what we want, so here's what I'm thinking...

The Wedding Theme!

PEACOCK! is the theme! I am so happy that I have settled on the colors of the Peacock. This includes Royal Blue, Eggplant Purple, Aqua/Teal, Browns and Golds! These also go perfectly with the wedding being in the fall.

Dresses, Dresses, and MORE Dresses!!!

Today is the first day of wedding dress shopping :) Everything works out perfectly so my soon to be mom, and my mom, can both come with me :) I can't wait! Lets hope I find one!
