We had a meeting with our venue for our 'let's pay for half of the reception now' meeting. In exchange for the bit of coin we got lots and lots of seating charts and a cake voucher as our cake is included in our package. Our cake is coming from 2bites. Her style is a little bit different from what I was looking at but apparently she is easy to talk with.
We also organised our food and wine tasting night for next month! This will be the my favourite part of the whole planning experience I think. Mum and M's parents are coming so that will be an interesting night. A bonus is that the cake lady will have samples for us to try.
I also had a go at flower arranging today. My grand ideas to make my own bouquets have been quashed. :( I got up at 5 this morning and ventured into the dark... I honestly thought the sun would be up a little bit by that stage. That just shows how often I am up that early. So I ventured out to Flemington markets. Apparently 5:30 is late to get there. I had to go around a few times to find a parking spot.
I bought 8 bunches of flowers costing me around $56 which was more than I thought (only because I heard murmurs of $4 a bunch) but very reasonable.
This makes me want to try again. Especially because I really like the red roses for me. ....Decisions Decisions. If we go with the D.I.Y option and it doesn't work out I will be one stressed bee....any who, that's what I have been up to.
They are beautiful! They look very pretty, just like your background.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ thinking the sun would be up, I would have no idea either. Ive heard that time of morning exists, yet Ive never witnessed it!
I really thought there would be a little bit of sun up but nope. I put some photos up on facebook of them and got a good response... now I am rethinking the whole going to a florist thing.... it may involve another trip to the flower markets :D
DeleteKeep experimenting! They look like you've almost got it right! just a bit more jazz (ribbons and all) needed, that's all!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI think the flowers look great and that you're almost there too! I'd practice a few times and then when the time comes you'll smash it! :)
ReplyDeleteps 2 bites look reasonably priced and I like the designs, so please let us know how the cake tasting goes xx
Deletehey thanks. They didn't actually look as good in real life as in the photos but I might keep trying. I'm meeting up with a florist next week. I may just give in and pay for it. 2 bites looks good. I'll let you know about the taste.
