Samples of Centerpieces & Bouquets

My mom, grandma and I made some sample centerpieces. They arn't excatly the flowers I'm going to use. But very close. The white one is a spider mum. They are one of the main flowers I'm going to have. I might have some yellow spider mums (pictured) as well.






Each table will have four yellow tiles in the center, then 4 bud vases of varying sizes with flowers of different varieties in the yellow, orange and white family. Votives in small glass holders will be spread around.


The tables will also have bottles of wine and smart water on them. And will have a napkin, silverware, water goblet, wine glass and champange glasses at each setting.



This is a mini version of what I think my bouquet is going to look like. A lot of white spider mums and other white flowers.

This is what I think your (bridesmaids) bouquets are going to look like. Except with 4 of the leaf turned ribbon action. And those are spider mums. It will either be those or disbuds (see below).







Lastly, I want to have votives in taller glass holders along the edge of the pool. Will look kind of cool in the day and very cool at night.


It was nice to put stuff together to see what it would really look like. I'm happy with how it looks so far. Thoughts?

Cakes

So my mom and I went to this chimer-ish wedding expo at the Embassy Suites here in Pasadena on Saturday. It was mostly photographers that I felt sad for and a few dj's but there were also a few bakeries there with cakes to taste and I met a guy named Daniel who has a bakery and we tasted his cakes and they were awesome and way cheaper than the average. He has a website but he also said I could find a picture of a cake I like and he'd make it happen. So here are some cakes:

I like the shapes of this cake. I don't know what the deal is with the penguins or whatever they are. But I like the squares that are alternating directions.
I like this one too for the same reasons

I would never have this. But how cute is this!
I like the writing. We could have u me written on the cake.
Interesting cake topper
I also like the square and circle combo cakes.
