Wedding 8 weeks to go

Its a bit scary to think the wedding is only about 8 weeks to go. All this planning and preparing done from 1 whole year back .. all the drama for just one day.

I'm lucky that we didnt have too much stress with the planning, if anything it has been quite breezy minus a few hiccups on the way and we were lucky that for the most part alot of the things we wanted were available so there was no stress in running around trying to find an alternative.

Reception
Our reception location took us a while to decide. at the end we went with the second choice as our first choice would have completed broken our budget. If money wasnt the issue i would have loved to have it at our first choice.
Suprisingly not many places in melbourne offer a reception that will allow you to have outside catering for a chinese banquet. Aside from the Chinese restaurants and the reception that every other asian family has a wedding at there were not many options to choose from.
So we went with the next best option, its close to home, the venue is very nice and the price was within our budget.


The cake
I think this was the one i was most excited to look at. I wanted a cake that was pretty and had bling and i completely fell in love with House of elegant cakes.

I saw some of her cakes in a few brochures and online but the pictures do not do these cakes justice!
You have to go check out her showroom. Michelle is awesome and was a pleasure to deal with!

An idea of what my cake will look like, pretty much will look like this with a few minor adjustments.



It will look like the first picture but with a mor dusty pink colour like the second picture. I cant wait to see the cake when it arrives on the day!

Cars
Cars was a bit of an impulse decision, but im glad we decided to go with it. Originally we had decided on getting one limo for everyone and trying to get us all to fit in one car. But when we went to check out the cars we fell in love with these cars. Not sure if its the best idea now since the wedding is right in the middle of summer AND theres no air-conditioning in the cars.

But notheless they are very very nice cars. Maybe we'll invest in little hand fans for the bridal party to hold lol.
