Wedding Cake
Ivory icing with burnt orange ribbon
As you can probably guess already I'm not into fancy or frills.
This will be a plainly iced cake with burnt orange satin ribbon around the base of the layers I will have 4 layers.

Save the Date
To Give Advance Notice...
These were the PERFECT save the dates. They were not that expensive and I was able to customize my flowers on the postcard to burnt orange, add my website information etc...We have alot of people traveling from England, the USA and the Caribbean so this will be a great way for us to announce the wedding many months in advance.

Burnt Orange
My bridesmaids range in height from 5'8 to 5'11" so I think they will wear this dress well!

My challenge is that my daughter is 9 and she is tall..I dont think she is "cutesie" / young enough for a flower girl dress, but not grown enough to wear a bridesmaids dress. I didnt want to digress and introduce another dress style in the wedding, but i would appreciate any comments on what to do with girls in that "in between" stage.

Wedding Dress
Ivory with Burnt Orange sash
I didn't want any sequins, lace, beading, pearls, crystals etc on my wedding dress. I wanted a beatiful satin dress without any fussy detail. I found this Alfred Angelo on the internet and fell in love with the simplicity, yet elegant and traditional dress. It was love at first sight and the ONLY dress I tried on.

I love the fact that I was able to accent it with the optional burnt orange sash. I also love the row of covered buttons in the back. I plan to wear the long "bow" portion for the ceremony, however, I will remove the "bow" for the reception, leaving just the band. I knew it was the perfect dress when I tried it on, they did the measurements and I was a perfect size 8! Upon its arrival last week I tried it on and it fit like a glove! (now I can't gain or lose any weight LOL:)

Flower Girls (5)
Ivory with Burnt Orange sash
This is a perfect match for my dress! I have five little girls in the wedding (ages 3 -8). The dress is cocktail/floor length and the colours coordinate perfectly with the wedding theme. They will wear ivory Mary Janes and ivory lace bobby socks.

One of the little girls will drop orange rose petals and my daughter (who is the head flower girl) will wear a tiara - just like her mommy!

I like simplicity, clean lines and neutral colours. The base colour is ivory and the accent colour is orange. I don't like fussiness (lace, paisley, organza etc). I hope I can accomplish this in my wedding planning!
