First, I had my hair and makeup trials at the beginning of February, the day after I bought my wedding dress (no pictures of that here, though, sorry!)The makeup is a bit orange-y, but I love the eyes.
The hair, however, is beyond perfect. I also brought the nearly-done veil to the trial.
That weekend, we also had cake tasting with Harvest Bakery (in Simsbury) cake, and went to an open house at the Pond House in West Hartford. I really liked the cakes and fillings at the Pond House, but not so much the frosting. I really liked the frosting from Harvest Bakery, but while the cake had good flavor, it was rather dry, and the frosting:cake ratio was off. However, we chalked that up to cupcakes not being accurate representations of cakes.
Harvest Bakery cupcakes:
Somewhere in the mix are: red velvet with cream cheese frosting, vanilla cake with lemon curd and vanilla frosting, vanilla cake with lemon mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting, carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, and lemon cake with raspberry mousse filling and vanilla buttercream frosting.Vanilla with lemon curd and vanilla buttercream:
And carrot cake with cream cheese frosting:
In other news:
our registries are about done (still haven't done Lux Bond and Green, but we'll do that on Easter weekend. it won't take too long). We're still deciding on a caterer, and waiting now for some proposals from them all, before we make the big decision.
I'll start working on the STDs very soon, and pretty much everything else is being decided. We'll do a lot of Easter Saturday, or perhaps the Sunday of the next weekend, since I'll be home for something Friday and Saturday.
