So we went for our cake testing this weekend....so yummy! I think it was our favorite appointment yet! We went to Jaques Pastries in Suncook as our cake was included in our package, but we decided to upgrade our cake a little it. We are having a woodsy/hiking kind of themse to our wedding ( we have trees and green things everywhere!) and they had a cake that looked like a birch tree and it has sugar leaves and pinecones on it with our inititals "carved" in the side. So cute! It's going to be 3 tiers and we are going to have our tier (the top) and the bottom tier the same flavors: almond cake with amaretto buttercream filling, and the middle tier is lemon cake with lemon buttercream filling. FI and I said we are going to dream of our cake for the next year!
Our second check is pretty cool too. FI's uncle is a florist, but the centerpieces for the reception were included in our wedding package from another florist, so Susanne's flowers in Hampstead will be doing our centerpieces and FI's uncle will be doing everything else. We are getting married 8/13/2011 and our colors are green with a little bit of bright pink. She is going to do our centerpieces in gerbera daisys in pinks and some in coraly oranges so it looks like "late summer going into fall" and then to work in the green she is going to put green berries in the mix too. She even wrote down the grower so that we can tell FI's uncle so he can use the same flowers and everything! She even offered to help FI's uncle set up his flowers and gave us her contact info to give him in case he needs help with anything! I thought that was really nice and professional of her to be willing to work with another florist!
FI and I are so happy that things seem to be coming together so quickly! FI evewn mentioned that he wants to shop for wedding bands soon! Oooh....
