I think I have finally come to a decision on colors. The bridesmaids dresses will be navy blue. I like this color because it is formal, looks good on everyone, and will complement the orange I love so much. The best man will be in a navy-colored air force uniform, so everything will go together nicely.
Last month I went with my sister and Brittany to pick out a bridesmaid dress for them to wear. We decided on this dress in navy blue:
I was very glad to have both of them with me to pick the dress. Brittany being the most curvy of my bridesmaids, and my sister being the most petite, I was thrilled that this dress looked great on both of them!
We also had a few cake tastings last month. Our first one was at Fiona's and she had decent cakes, but charged extra for everything she could think of and gave us very limited choices. We also had a tasting at Sweet in Ellicott City. We LOVED their chocolate chip cannoli cake and their cute little store front bakery. The winner however was a bakery that we have been going to for a long time for cakes-- The French Confection in Ashton. We still have one more cake tasting on Friday, but we're pretty sure about our choice right now. We picked out flavors that we liked at the tasting, so we just have to come to a decision on the design.
We're also working on setting up some flower consultations. We were supposed to have one yesterday, but the poor girl forgot about our appointment because her father was just diagnosed with brain cancer and she was about to leave for Germany to go see him. We have an appointment next week at Sandi's in Annapolis (the little shop outside gate 3, for those familiar with USNA). We stopped by her shop yesterday, but she was very busy and didn't have time for a full consultation with us. Lately I like the idea of a "sunset" bouquet, featuring orange, yellow and maybe a little pink.
