Has anyone seen the book "Pretty Party Cakes"? We just bought it at Michael's today...we love it! It's got some really unusual fondant cakes and she's found 3 that she adores.
Thanks, NUBlue and BBelle!

Love the bridesmaid dresses too! Simple and classic is the way to go. And  at the size of the wedding party! I think it's so wonderful, though, to have all of her 8 sisters as bridesmaids. I always imagine growing up in the Carnation household as growing up in one big, fun, sorority house. Although I guess there are guys there too (LOL).
Hope you find the wedding dress shot online b/c it sounds GORGEOUS. Not to mention different from the norm--my friends are all in wedding season now, and while there are many pretty dresses out there, it seems like a lot of the dresses lately look almost exactly the same.
ETA: Was there a thread like this for your first daughter's wedding? I searched but I couldn't find it. I swear there should be an index of the important "carnation nation" threads (just kidding... sort of).

There was! It was "Now about these wedding plans..."
If anybody wants to see the gown picture, I can email it.

The dress is beautiful-love the pale pink, just the touches here and there. The back is riveting. Oh-the bride is quite beautiful, too!!

Two months to go.
The church carpet is a pale blue and the attendants' dresses are pale green and shell pink, so the florist has come up with an idea for bouquets that use different kinds of flowers in each of the 3 colors so that each bridesmaid has a different bouquet. My favorite is pale green hydrangeas, shell pink roses, and blue delphinium!
Her reception will kind of be like a Southern church "dinner on the grounds", if you know what that is. Lots of good hearty Southern favorites! She and her future mother-in-law have found several pink and green teapots which, when filled with small flowers, will be the centerpieces along with some quilts that will somehow be used in there.
It just hit my husband that not only will he have to miss going to the local high school football game (that 1 son is playing in and 1 daughter is cheering at) for the rehearsal dinner but he'll miss the afternoon SEC football game during the wedding! Too bad for him, the Dawgs will survive without him for a day!

The BM dresses look a lot like mine...my colors were peridot (a little darker than celadon) and various shades of pink...I think the idea of incorporating the color of the carpet in with the flowers is a great idea

*sigh* The word lovely just doesn't seem to do it justice!
