recap plus some

So vegas was a hit A nice, much needed mini vacation. It was short but oh-so-sweet. 

Favorite part: Having a drink at the bar in our hotel, deciding we wanted to walk the strip and asking for To-Go cups  

Worst part: The smoke! People, don’t you know that smoking is bad for you?!

Bryan’s mother also surprised us with a few wedding gifts! She got us a gorgeous Lenox frame (to hold the “one wedding picture anyone ever has” according to Bryan). She also got us a cake topper! You may be saying to yourself, “I thought she wasn’t doing a cake… hmm…” and you would be right. We weren’t planning on having a cake, but I can’t let the gorgeous topper be cakeless (it even looks like us!).  I am thinking we will have one small cake, placed on my great grandmothers cake stand, with the beautiful topper, and have the traditional cutting of the cake.  We weren’t planning on “cutting the cake” only because, well, Bryan isn’t a big fan of cake, they are expensive, and gelato sounded more fun But I think one little cake would be perfect, especially when topped with such a beautiful topper Thanks again Mary-Ellen!

Ok, now I need your help. I am designing my friend Lauren’s wedding invitations and it is time to make the save the dates. They are having orchids for their flowers, and want to incorporate them into the invitation and I am having the hardest time finding a good vector of orchids!  They want it silhouetted, so it needs to have a good shape to it… so if you have a vector of an orchid, or know of a great site that offers them, please help a girl out! Speaking of invitations, these are gorgeous:
