And we're back

Okay, so blogging while planning for a wedding was great in theory.... :-)
I was devoted in the beginning but just couldn't keep up with life let alone the blog in the short weeks leading up to the big day. What I do promise now is to post pictures of the whole thing for those who could not make it. The week before, the events, the wedding, the fiesta, and the honeymoon! ALL of it was AMAZING and Rene and I feel so blessed for all of the friends and family who could share this special day (and week) with us.

Now lets see where this blog will take me.... post wedding?

Decisions, decisions...

 

So what do you think?  Taking that tool out of the picture, are these chairs better than the previous covered ones?  I cannot decide... these ones are more simple but the covered ones are nice too.  It might actually come down to cost but I would appreciate you opinion.

  

Next on the list is my bouquet.....  my bridesmaids will be carrying shades of orange flowers and originally I was going to carry the same the thing but now I am thinking of just having mine be all white, more classic.  I really like orchids (first picture) and I really like having all sorts of different flowers with different texture.  Like always, I cannot decided which will be best.  It really is hard planning so far away as I cannot talk to the florist and see samples.  What do you think?

FLAN-TASTICO!

Some might think we are crazy BUT Rene and I are having a wedding FLAN instead of a cake (did I mention we are doing things differently?).

The thing is neither of us really love wedding cake (and I am sure there have been great ones out there) but we both like flan and being in Mexico it just seems fitting. Now I know there are lot of you who probably do not like the FLAN (shame on you, but we are probably the odd ones) and a lot of people usually get really exited for wedding cake... so we are trying to think of another dessert for the reception. My vote is for Mexican wedding cookies..... what's yours? Get creative!

Though if I was getting married in the states (some people think we are crazy for that too) I would have one of my dearest friends, Amber, make my wedding cake. She is amazing at cake making and decorating and it would be so special to have her make it.
