With the wedding quickly approaching, I recently went into "panic/productive" mode for the planning. We are less than 11 weeks away from the big day! So, that being said, I was determined to get some good wedding planning done last weekend.
I'm happy to say we have picked a caterer. Convito in Wilmette will be catering the wedding. The food is very tasty and way less expensive than our original caterer. We were able to try some of the dishes at my parent's house. They were seriously delicious. We will have our official tasting with them in a few weeks.
We also picked a photographer! It is quite exciting to finally that squared away. The photographer was the last item on the list in which the different vendor options have very different levels of talent.
We also tried to pick the cake. We went to a bakery that my mom loved in the city. The cake was good, but not really my style (i.e., nowhere near being sweet enough for my taste!) So, we still have to figure out the cake. Fortunately, this involves eating more cake and everyone knows I love my cake! I would like to be the girl with the most cake. While researching potential bakeries, I came across the most amazing bakery/cakery. cakegirls is seriously an amazing combination between cake and art. We won't be using them because a) they are way too expensive and b) i don't particularly like fondant. I thought i would link them here though because they are way awesome.
I hope this productive spell continues to last! We still have so much to do!
