May in this area (Also on a cooler end of summer) is not really an option for an outdoor wedding. Besides gale-force winds, sporadic rains are also a very real possibility. Luckily for me, my mom is excited about my wedding - even if she IS the only person besides myself. Chris doesn't get excited about anything. Except having an excuse to buy purple alligator shoes (still praying to God he's not secretly gay.... :-p ).
We have a location, luckily. My Aunt and Uncle own a beautiful Victorian in the area with lovely gardens and wide spaces perfect for a wedding - Chris and I crashed a wedding held there this past weekend to see how it would work out. It was really beautiful and we're excited to make our own additions to the other couple's lovely setup.
I have a pastry chef whom I'd LIKE to have make the cake, but as she hasn't responded to me yet.... *sigh. I really hope she does it.... I don't know who else I'd get - I'm SO picky about my cakes. I might have to dig into my pockets and do Pastisserie Angelica. Fortunately (cost-wise) what we want for flavors is RELATIVELY inexpensive (Marzipan cake with raspberry preserves and fresh raspberries) UNFORTUNATELY, my imagined design is....complicated and (unsurprisingly) very specific. Much like my plans for a wedding dress.....
Which brings me to losing weight. Which I am doing, but not at a satisfactory rate... therefor, I'm looking at a Bikram yoga studio in the area and have asked for a yoga pass from Chris for my birthday (October). He seems willing, on the condition that I take the studio, and more specifically the hot yoga, for a test-run. I hate the suffocating feeling of really really high humidity. I'm really hoping though that this proves tolerable.
My ideas thusfar:
<----Cake decorated like this.
<----But crooked like this.
<----Diane Lane's Hair
<---A dress vaguely like this.
<---Flowers very much like this.
