No Kids

I don't want any kids at the wedding. Babe's daughter and my little brother are enough for me. With that being the case, I was trying to figure out what I would use as an alternative to a ring bearer and a flower girl. I suppose since ring bearers don't really carry the rings that the Best Man and Maid of Honor would be in charge of that, as usual. But I want "Coming to America" flowers! lol. So, I saw this:

I think this is beautiful! BUT everyone would walk on it before me! That's not cool. I'll come up with something. This whole no kids thing is becoming harder than I thought!

What the VEIL?!

I was on TK this morning on the African American board, where I spend most my life. One of my Knottie sisters, Cincy, posts a "Daily Gorgeous Wedding". Today's was bridal portraits edition! I'm not sure that I want to take bridal portraits, but it's something to think about. Especially when the photographer that took our engagement pix won't be our wedding photographer. Anywho.... I was looking at the beautiful bridal sessions that she posted, and I came across this:

{Found here.}

All I could say was WHAT THE VEIL?! I mean... really, WHAT THE VEIL?!

LOL! I mean... I like it! It's... different, to say the least, but I'm hoping that that's not the wedding day veil. Even if it is, I'm sure she rocked it well!

I think I'll start doing more post like this in between my lack of personal wedding related stuff to talk about.

Hey Girl Hey!!!

I decided to dedicate a blog post to my Bridal Party!

This is my lovely Maid of Honor, Tiffany. She's my best friend and sister. Love her to life!

This is Adrienne, one of my Bridesmaids. She's an amazing person! Love her to life!

This is Deshaunte, my Bridesmaid. She's my little sister! Love her to life!

This is Krishawna, my Bridesmaid. She's also my sister. Love her to life!

Cakin' PT1

It is almost 4am and I'm wide awake! Don't ask.... I've been wanting to post about my cake ideas for some time now, but I knew it would take a while. Especially the way you have to upload pix on here. They should come up with a better way! I have about 10 cakes that I love and would like to somehow come together as my own. As I always do, here are the pics and what I like about them! I'll start with what I like about the round cakes, though I want a square cake.

I love the simplicity of this cake. The ruffle thing really adds a little {very LITTLE} POP.

I also love the simplicity of this cake. What I like the most are the ridges.

I LOVE the dots on this cake!!! But I also like that the base tier is square and the top layers are round.

I like the swirly designs on this cake and the alternating shapes.

I also like these swirlies, but I like the way the squares change directions instead of alternating shapes.

This is only half of my cake ideas. I could have finished the post, but I wanted to save some for later. Plus, I thought that this would be too long of a post. All of these cakes were found on The Knot. The next cake post will consist of my square cake inspiration and the decor that I really want for my cake table!!! Stay tuned!
