Cake!

Guess what? We have placed a deposit for our cake. It's going to be three tiers with the bottom tier being chocolate and the remaining two being vanilla and strawberry. What's next? I've started looking at hair/make-up artists. Make-up artists aren't that easy to find - they're like videographers. There are a lot in Toronto, but many don't have the best portfolios - especially those who're affordable. The ones who're good don't always have the most affordable prices. I want to be able to get a good package for me as well as my bridesmaids!

I've also started to call around for linens. We're looking for chaircovers only as the venue provides table clothes and napkins. Our colours are violet with a bit of lilac and honeydew green and I'm not sure if I should go all white (table clothes will be white) or white with a violet ribbon. What do you guys think?

Venue & Photographer Chosen...Now Next Steps

We've finally decided on a photographer! So now that we've signed with him, the next steps are to look for other wedding-related services. We've interviewed with videographers, but haven't come to a decision yet. Like photography, we don't want straight-out, boring DVDs. If we wanted that, we could just ask someone who has a video camera to do it for us! And likely for free, too. Does anyone have suggestions as to what to look for in a videographer? We know that questions to ask include hours of coverage, number of copies we get (we are hoping for three. One for us, and one for each set of parents), editing, price, etc...

Other things we need to do: Cake, Flowers, Officiant, Favours and of course GOWN!
