Before the paint
Halfway painted
Finished project!
I am feeling so proud of myself at the moment! The wedding cake I have taken my inspiration from was covered in seashells. Our bakery said they would make the cake but we would have to supply the seashells. Before I could even stop myself I said, "I can do it!" I have never in my life made chocolate before and I thought to myself, "now I am over my head". I ordered the molds online and Saturday I made Juan go to NY Cake and Bake with me for iridescent powder to paint the chocolates. The molds came this afternoon and I took a crack at it. The shells are much whiter in person than the picture shows but overall I am very happy with the end result.
I have spent the last few days catching up on all the little details. My favorite one I accomplished was our guest book. It took me all day because our computer is being temperamental but it was well worth it. I used Blurb.com and it turned out beautifully. If you have never used Blurb I highly recommend it. They also make fabulous and thoughtful gifts for any occasion.
Dear friends of Juan's came to visit us yesterday and took us to brunch and also brought us this amazing basket of Jersey Fresh Veggies! It was one of the nicest gifts I have ever received. I used the veggies last night to make a delicious dinner for Juan and I. Juan was very happy.
We just got home from the amazing wedding of our dear friends, Nicole and Abe. The very talented Alisa did the brides hair. Isn't so beautiful?
This is my latest dorky project! I had Juan find me a piece of wood on the beach on Sunday so I could make a "wedding this way" sign. He was almost arrested because he walked into the dunes to fetch me a piece. There is a pedestrian bridge you have to walk over to get to our ceremony and I am going to hang one there for sure. I can't help but love all the little details.
