Pennsylvania-Pittsburgh

Lots of Checks!!

Moving right along!

This weekend I did lots and lots of wedding stuff... lets see...

We got stuff at Sam's club for the OOT bags- peanuts, chips, water and granola bars. We'll get smiley cookies, clark bars and some Pittsburgh stuff.

We went to Paddy Cake, Prantls and Oakmont Bakery for cake tasting. Prantl's toasted almond was the best, but their price was the highest. Paddy Cake's icing was AMAZING. Perfect. and Oakmont was good, but their icing is a little much (IMO), so, I think we are going with Paddy Cake! I loved the lady and the bakery is so adorable.

I had my first dress fitting. It just needs to be hemmed and taken in on the top. My Mom also had her dress fitting.

We went to Pat Catan's where i got my BM thank you gifts for my shower and picture frames for the tables, we went to Michael's and I got my thank you cards, and we headed to David's Bridal where I got slippers and looked for a BM dress for my friend's wedding.

Sunday, we went to the florist who did a mock up of our centerpiece, I LOVE it! It has hydrengea's, tulips and cherry blossoms. Beautiful! and went through all the specifics. We then went to Old Navy and Target and I got all of my HM clothes! Woot!

The only item I will not compromise on...my bouquet of all purple tulips wrapped in a swatch from my Mom's wedding dress.

    Here is a picture! A couple things, the tulips look a little sad because they were left over ones that he used. Peach tulips will also be added, but he didn't have any.

    The vase is sitting on a light plate, which with the lights dimmed is simply beautiful. The centerpiece just glows.

    I love our florist, he is so fantastic and his prices are spectacular!!!
