Lauren will undoubtedly have many, many more photos to share, but while she is enjoying Hawaii, I will post a few previews (like she did for my wedding!).
The wedding cake was not only gorgeous and classic, but completely delicious -- carrot cake (so moist and light) with a sweet cream cheese filling. One of the best wedding cakes I have ever had!
Otherwise Engaged...
Someone is getting married this weekend, so there is no time for blogging until next week!
Wedding Wednesday: Paper Goods
Back in February, I posted about my front-runner for invitations. We ended up choosing them and were so happy with the final product that we went back for menus and escort cards. I probably shouldn't post these but I'm just really excited about them. Didn't they turn out well?
Hibiscus Flower Cocktails
We came across these Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup in a Virginia gourmet store this weekend. They make an impressive presentation in a simple glass of champange or prosecco. You can also check out a more elaborate cocktail list on their website. Make Mine Mini
Liberty of London
Has anyone checked out the Liberty of London line at Target? A branch of the original UK line, the items at Target are fun, springy, and so reasonably priced! Definitely worth checking out....
Porch Drinks!
With Porch Drink Season upon us, the latest issue of Southern Living featured a cocktail I am dying to try. Their Raspberry Beer Cocktails look quick, easy, and delicious. Can't wait to whip up a batch and try them on the back porch soon!Breakfast of Champions
This could be a post about eating organic, or about eating proteins and dairy at breakfast (which I have found to be a great weight loss tool) but I'm going to keep it simple. I just want to tell everyone how much I love Organic Valley milk. I've tried many brands of organic dairy products and this is just the best choice and well worth the extra money. Even the skim milk is (relatively) creamy and delicious. Organic Valley employs farmers all over the country so you will get a local product, no matter where you live.
The only other thing I can say is that this has to be some really good milk to write a whole post about it!
Head on Down to Starbucks this Morning!
Wedding Wednesday: Flowers
Yesterday we finalized the flower order at Flower Girls. Because of the crazy weather this year, they may (disappointingly) have to ship in more flowers than originally planned. However, we're still hoping that the timing will be just right to use plenty of local Virginia flowers. I like that we are mixing it up a bit and not relying solely on roses and hydrangea, although they will certainly be used a little bit. Some other items on the list:
White double tulips
Double narcissus
Freesia
We had beautiful yellow and white tulips at the shower, which really helped jump start my excitement for the wedding flowers. Thanks to Farrell and the other girls for that thoughtful attention to detail- I love the way the shower colors aligned with the wedding colors!
