Wedding Stress

Well now that I am engaged, the biggest question everyone asks is when is the date? People I have been engaged for a week you cannot plan a wedding that fast! Weddings are a huge deal and you need to start planning a year in advance so I can see where the stress can start to kick in. My ultimate goal is not to stress though, how you ask how? The answer is the internet.

The internet actually takes a lot of the planning stress off of you because there are so many ideas out there. Everything is at the click of a button, I think it is easier to plan a wedding now more than ever because whatever you want it can be found somewhere online and I love it. I don't have a date set yet but I began looking at some ideas for my wedding like cakes,venues, and dresses. It's really nice to be able to browse at home and at your own pace. I want to make it easy on all you brides to be out there and share some really helpful websites that I came across, so here they are:

Allure

These were just a few of my favorites, I hope they help make it a little easier for you. Try not to stress!

My Engagment !!!

So the greatest thing happened to me over the weekend, I got engaged! I am going to share my story with all of you , in hopes of you sharing your story with me. My boyfriend of six years completely threw me off guard on Thursday, February 20th, 2014. Normally I work until 8 p.m. on Thursdays but a co-worker of mine was nice enough to switch shifts with me so I could spend the day with my boyfriend on his birthday. I went over his house when I got out of work to give him his gift. This is how the rest went...

He asked me why I got him something, and I said "Well it's your birthday of course I got you something". He said "Well I didn't want that. Do you know what the best birthday present would be? If you would marry me" and he pulled out the ring and I immediately said yes! This was the single best moment of my life, I get to marry my high school sweetheart and the love of my life. Now it's my time not only to help you all plan your wedding and give you great ideas, but to plan one for myself. 

Here is a picture of my ring, he's definitely a keeper! 

  

  

CAKES!!!

Have you ever thought of how you want your dream wedding cake to be like? I thought I knew what I wanted until I started looking, there are just to many choices! I came up with a list of pictures that I want to share with you of different designs of cakes. I think that this is one of the most fun parts of the wedding is designing the cake because you can do anything you want. The problem is deciding. So for the first picture I am going to share with you is your classic 3-tier cake with the running fountain underneath. This was and is still a very popular cake with people and is pretty generic. The lighting with the fountain just dresses it up so much.

 

My grandma use to make cakes, now she cant with her arthritis but she made beautiful cakes like these. She made quite a few for people like this next one and it's absolutely beautiful. It consist of several cakes and tiers with loads of decoration. This is definitely one to consider especially if you are going to have a big wedding.  

  

I wish my grandma could still make cakes because everyone of these cakes she has made and they are absolutely gorgeous maybe that's why it is so hard to choose. This next cake is really nice because it looks exactly like a church. This one doesn't use to many of the tiers but is cake upon cake stacked on another. Instead of the bride and groom being towards the top of the cake they are in front of the church which i think is just great! 

 

This next one I have never seen anything like it. Half the cake is your traditional wedding style but then it seems to split into a delicate chocolate frosting. There is almost no way to describe this one you will have to see for yourself. This is something I would consider if you wanted to do something different, and it looks fantastic!   

 

Lastly, there are just so many options that I could share with you but this would go on forever. I tried to throw some traditional cakes that we have all seen but a few different that you may have never seen. Now this one makes it easy, if you don't want to go through the trouble of cutting all the pieces of cake these are already all separated. Don't freak out though the top is a small cake so the bride and groom and still cut into something. 

 

Let me know what styles of cakes you like, I would love to know!
