Busy week this coming week!

~Pic of my mom's parent's at their wedding

So this week is exciting because multiple things get to happen. I am going to book my photographer this week, probably tomorrow, and am very excited to have that made nice and official. I am going with Peter McDermon photography, and will most likely do my engagement pictures end of August or start of September and then do my bridals end of September after my dress is altered.  My friend Kate also gave me the great idea of using photos from the weddings of mine and nick's parents and grandparents at the reception since im going with a classic look, and using them would show the styles from the periods that they got married. I love it also because it gives them a feeling of being more involved since they get to contribute something so personal. I also get to go on Thursday and officially order my bridesmaid dress, which im excited to do. I did end up going with the dress that i posted on here and am going to have it emerald green with a black waist. Also, my wedding dress has arrived! I got an email this week saying it was and that i can come sometime to pick it up! I am super excited. While i am picking it up i will probably also buy the black birdcage veils for my bridesmaids as well. I love the feeling of getting more and more things accomplished and set up. :) I am also pretty sure on the cake flavors i want as well, which are: snickerdoodle for the bottom layer, then key lime (which Nick loves) as the middle layer, and then red velvet as the top layer. All 3 are super yummy and not the typical flavors you find in a wedding cake, so should be really fun and super yummy. Oh ya and i also may have finally found a great idea for the top of my cake. My mom's parents still have the cake topper from there wedding, and they said i can use it if i want. Since i am doing a vintage theme, i think that would be perfect! I just have to see if it will fit with the look of the rest of the reception and cake and such. Hope so cause i think its an awesome idea!  I can't wait to see what comes together in my planning next. :D
