Bride Blogger!

This was a successful yet stressful weekend. I attempted to take on one too many appointments while being back in Nebraska. Although I was able to check off quite a few appointments, questions, and meetings, I was also bombarded with more information than I was prepared for - which I am sure that many of you can relate to! Now I am unwinding and sifting through all the information in hopes of making the best decisions.

Two highlights from this weekend were the cake tasting and looking into letterpress invitation. We decided to go with the Butterfly Bakery as our cake choice. The cakes not only look phenomenal but also tasted fantastic! Linda, the owner of Butterfly Bakery, was very laid back, accommodating, and very easy to work with.  Check out some of her cakes-here's a photo of one of her cakes.

As for letterpress, what is letterpress? Evan, my fiancé, is a graphic designer and this was his one and only request! Letterpress is a style of old fashioned printing that leaves an impression in the paper (in Bailey terms). This unique style is a great way to add something fun and different to your traditional invitation that is sure to grab your guest's eye. Christopher owns Porridge Papers in Lincoln and does all kinds of national business. They also make their own paper along with the letterpress. Christopher was very friendly and even gave us a tour. Definitely worth checking out and we will totally be doing our printing with him! Here are a couple examples of his invitations.

That’s all for now. Good luck with wedding plans and don’t forget to de-stress!
