After dropping Mr. Rogue off mom and I start on the wedding list. First of the day is an eight o’clock AM appointment with Mimi Cake Designs. We are looking over the designs he has and cake tasting. Yumm cake for breakfast. The man who owns Mimi’s was super polite and sweet and his designs were gorgeous. Although his price was a little high I kept him on the list because I know he would do a stellar job. Leaving with a tummy ache my mother and I swung by our second appointment to see Viviano’s a cake bakery that was not so stellar. The cakes did not taste as good and the designs were not as artistic. I think I will just go with Mimi’s but in considering the budget Viviano’s got to stay on the list. Dragging ourselves out of here with what felt like lead in my stomach we were off to meet the DJ.
There were no problems here and I just decided that in the essence of time we would just go ahead and book him. My mother had been to a few weddings where he was the dj and Penna’s my reception hall also recommended him.
Then we had to rush over to the meeting with the florist that we had originally decided on. Thankfully I had finally found the perfect inspiration photo just a few days ago for the florist. I was so excited when I found it because although had pulled some earlier inspirations, see here,
they were not exactly what I wanted and I was worried with the distance that I would not be able to work closely enough with her to get them perfectly how I wanted.
I felt like the florist I talked to really got me. We spent a while talking about the inspiration image and then another hour talking about all the flowers I wanted. Then we moved onto choosing which flowers specifically we would use and these choices also included similar flowers that could be replaced into the bouquet for cheaper than the originals. I did not even think about the fact that choosing flowers in season would make the cost a lot less and since I already mentioned to you that I was getting married on sweetest day any corners I could cut needed to be taken. In the end the flower estimate was still a fortune but I left happy that my next meeting with her when I came back in August for my shower to see the sample would be close to what I wanted.
Then we were off to look at 4 different hotels in the area so our out of town guests would have a block of discounted rooms to stay in for the wedding weekend. The first three were scary creepy and not so nice, thank god the fourth was almost exactly what we were looking for. Although the prices were a little higher than what we wanted at least the construction was new, it was clean, and it was central to all the events. A perfect fit. And a nice way to end the very busy day we had.
