Cake!
1:03 PM by Siouxsie KeeYoo
Ok, let's talk cake . . . cupcakes!
In case any of you had trouble envisioning the cupcake tower with an actual top tier cake, here is an example.
Since we're looking at about 300 guests the tower will be taller and significantly wider. I'm thinking it will probably have to be square shaped because they fit more cupcakes.
I decided to use fondant because I can make the cupcakes way before and the fondant will keep it fresh and moist. I want it to be very simple to make it easier on me and it'll be easy on the eyes. I think just light colored fondant with edible glitter dust (maybe in light green) or sugar pearls, or both... nah, just one. Here are the pearls and dust used on cupcakes.
I asked Francesco what he wanted as a cake topper but he said I should pick. I like so many things but I keep going back to birds. I was thinking of making some felt birdies, but I think they would look maybe too cute and my mom would say it was childish, soooo here are these, that I LOVE!
Favors
12:50 PM by Siouxsie KeeYoo
Para su informacion:
I didn't want the Jones soda as a favor sort of thing, but as the actual beverage at the party. I think we should all just kick Jones out of our heads because it's not gonna happen.
Now let's talk about the favors. If you didn't already know, I won a gift certificate for a wedding favor website. I ordered my favors and have had them for several weeks now. They are very very cute (Diana picked them). They are keychains; which is perfect because it's a practical favor that people may actually use. It reminds me of where we got engaged so it's very special to moi.
In addition to this favor, Frankie and I have decided to give out favors to the little ones, because I'm sure they have no real use for a keychain. We are going to give the little ones little bags of a couple of cookies -from Ikea- and a food coloring marker. That should keep them entertained for a bit, then they can just eat them.
If we do decide to have a Photobooth; the pictures printed will have a personalized label with our wedding information. These will also be used as favors. People can take pictures of themselves, with our information, and they can keep it in their albums forever! Plus, we will have a disc with all the pictures taken that night for our own personal use.
That makes 3 favors ... so far.
I have a dream...
1:35 PM by Siouxsie KeeYoo
... that on my wedding day I will have a photobooth.
Since the first moments I thought about marrying Frankie my love, I have envisioned a multitude of things; that at the moment, seem indispensable. One of the things would be a photobooth. It is way up there on the list. Unfortunately photobooths are like a thousand at least. As you all know that's 1/4 of my whole budget! I didn't think I could afford it...
Enter Ratscratch, here it seems I'm looking at the $400 for 3 hours with unlimited photos for the duration of the rental.
Do you think I should get it? Is it really necessary? I guess not, but I'm not paying for a professional, money sucking, annoying photographer and I love it so. I think I can definitely work it into my budget but should I even bother??
Soda
1:17 PM by Siouxsie KeeYoo
Okay I think you all know I love Jones green apple soda but je suis poor. Diana, you know that you and I both thought of having it for my wedding but alas je suis poor. So, would it be absolutely unthinkably rude to only have the green apple soda for the people in my wedding party? They would look so good in pictures, wouldn't they? Would I suck if I did that? Oh Jones, why don't you marry me? Then everyone would enjoy you on the wedding day.
ooh l'amour, l'amour
Reception Hall
5:47 PM by Siouxsie KeeYoo
It's done, the reception hall has been booked.
For anyone interested in getting an idea of what it's like, here are pictures. I'll talk you through them.
This is the side entrance to the hall. This will most likely be the entrance everyone will use because it's right next to the parking.
This is the view from the side entrance to the parking lot.
Right next to the side entrance (which is probably the exit) is the women's bathroom. This is where I used to dance when I was too embarrassed to dance on the dance floor.
This is actually the front entrance to the hall. If you were to enter through these doors, your view would be...
this one. These are the doors leading to the actual auditorium.
This is what you see as soon as you open those doors. There will obviously be more tables. Most likely they will be arranged differently as well.
Here is the view of the auditorium from the stage.
Here is a picture of the chairs. I really don't like the writing on the back. My mom offered to make chair covers; she will also be making the table covers and runners. The tables are long, they have 8 chairs on each side, which means they seat 16 people. As soon as I get a chance I will scan the layout we like. Once they are decorated they look like a very long single table.
Now here is the last picture. If you couldn't tell, this is the kitchen.
That's it for now. If anybody would like to see more or has any questions, hit me up (holl@ at me)
