We hired our florist!

Whistlestop Florist of East Syracuse. They were really nice there. I wasn't 100% sure what we wanted and she helped a ton! We're doing green cymbidium orchids and ivory roses for my bouquet. The bridesmaids will have the orchids, red roses, and baccara roses (burgundy). the florist thought adding the baccara roses would look more fall like. The ceremony will have white hydrangea in red cones on the pews. The centerpieces will be square glass with green crabapples in the bottom with the orchids on top and a mix of red and baccara rose petals surrounding, and maybe a candle or two. There will be orchids on the cake also. I'm so excited!

The next big things to conquer are the DJ and the cake (that one will be FUN!). Oh shoot. We still need an officiant also. We're getting there though!

We bought a house!

Over a month ago! I kinda forgot to update this. It's awesome though! We have 3x the space we had in the rinky dink apartment. It's so much fun to decorate and work on. It's kind of distracted me from the wedding plans. We've done lots of painting and have spent a nice chunk of change on things for the house already. I love it!

It's been a while... and a lot has happened.

So... my last post I mentioned meeting with a caterer. Well we did this a while ago and I forgot to update this. We hired Premier Catering based out of Liverpool. We'll be having a buffet dinner. Here's what we're getting:

-3 hours open bar
-cheese and crudite display
-coffee and tea
-champagne toast
-garden salad
-assorted fruit display
-slow roasted prime rib with au jus
-lemon chicken
-tortellini alfredo
-baked fish with lemon butter
-rice pilaf
-garlic mashed potatoes
-fresh vegetable medley
-fresh baked rolls

and then the CAKE!

At our tasting we tried the lemon chicken- which I LOVED! The sauce was awesome. Originally in this package was chicken marsala, which I despise. We substituted the lemon chicken since that is what I'll be eating. Hope it's not too much lemon with the fish too. The fresh vegetable medley was awesome too. It had a lovely herb sauce. He sautees that right on site.

I'm getting hungry...
