Wedding Cake & Alternatives

Just love these cake stands:
Just replace the cakes with pies:

Not exluding the idea of cake altogether, but have always liked other types of deserts better anyhow. If we do a cake (or pie), definitely leaning towards homemade. Tiramisu is an all-time most delicious desert but just wonder how it will hold up in the great outdoors.

Same sorta goes for whip cream. Maybe it will be alright on a strawberry shortcake cake?

This one will work for sure. It's super simple, but pretty anyhow.

I guess this one would work. Can't say I've had a cake with coconut though. Would definitely hide the imperfections though.

The pictures below came from Etsy.com or from AMountainBride.blogspot.com (besides the Drew Barrimore picture).

Random Pictures & Ideas

This is so simple yet so pretty of a table arrangement.

Just a cute invitation, especially for a woodsy wedding.

Very cute idea. Super easy, great way to share pictures, and wind proof for the outdoors.

It's a functional wedding program!

Old timey invite.

Wedding Dresses

Below are several dresses I looked at with Mom, Hayley, & Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn picked out the one I ended up buying. It's a very simple spaghetti strap all cotton empire waste dress.

This is a David's Bridal dress. Of all the dresses I tried on, this is the one Mom, Hayley, & Kaitlyn liked best. It's very sparkly on top and chiffon on bottom. I just didn't like it.


This dress is made by Venus Bridal and sold at a Homewood bridal store, made from linen. It fit better than any dress I have ever tried on. Bit fancy for a campground though.

All the dresses from JCrew looked exactly like what I wanted. I was too scared to order online, and since I waited until exactly one month before the wedding to start shopping, there wasn't much cushion




This is an off-white lace dress from Davids Bridal.. It fit nicely, but had a few too many sparkles and sequens. It was my favorite from David's Bridal though and reasonably priced. No woman is tall enough for this dress.

This is my favorite online dress. If it existed, I might would have even ordered it without trying it on first. Unfortunately, it was made one time for a runway show and not mass produced.

This is from indiebride. It's cute. It's casual. Maybe a bit too casual.

Location of Wedding

We'll be hvaing the ceremony at a woodsy lodge. It has one main pretty lodge and 5 rustic cabins. Next door there is canoing so that should be fun.
