Next, we went back to Franck's for our floral meeting and cake tasting! mmmmmm....
So I went in to floral with a few pics of centerpieces and that was it. we talked about a bouquet for me and the bouts, etc. etc. Originally, I planned on bringing all my personal floral including a silk bouquet for me. Well, Mike really wanted my bouquet to be fresh so we decided that he and I will have fresh flowers and the bm's, gm's and parents will all have silk flowers I'm bringing from home. I have no idea what my bouquet is going to look like but the description in my beo says, "petite, round, french bouquet of dark pink/purple orchids, light green orchids, purple hyacinth, purple lisianthus, orange roses, yellow roses (full open bloom) Accent with white freesia throughout. 75% ribbon wrap the faux stems in antique white satin. Swarovski Pearl Mickey closure on the stems. It costs $275 which made me nearly fall off my chair. BUT when I read the description in the BEO I got all excited. I'm sure it will be 100x better than anything I can imagine. Mike will have a Purple lisianthus/buds, orange mokara orchids and greenery. his is only $15.
The rest of the floral will be used at the ceremony, reception, and dessert party.
The alter will have 5 cylindars with gel in pink, purple, orange, light green and yellow on each side (10 total). the tall cylindar will have a small bouquet of flowers on it. the 2 medium cylindars will have mickey confetti and the 2 smaller cylindars will have a single bloom on them.
Each table at the reception will have 5 cylindars as well as coordinating flower petals scattered on the table. Our sweetheart table will have one of each. then for the dp, they will be moved and have LED lights droped in them. I think they will look awesome! Oh and back to ceremony decor. We are having an aisle runner with coordinating petals down the sides. For the staged exit, we decided to do one big basket of flower petals for people to take from. Oh, and we are having orange satin napkins at the reception. I didn't think we could do this b/c the reception is at the cali grill but apparently we can!
I think that is all for floral...
now, onto the cake tasting. This was such a hard decision. Everything was so good.
We decided on...
Bottom layer: Chocolate cake with raspberry mousse and fresh raspberries. (hands down both of our favorites)
Middle layer: Almond cake with Ameretto mousse
Top layer: Marble cake with white chocolate mousse.
All three layers will be cut into and served. We requested the rest be boxed up and given to us for us to eat throughout the honeymoon
After we were done, we headed to Epcot. Dinner was at Rose & Crown. No pics but thoroughly delicious! We decided to scope out the lower UK. It was roped off for a corporate event but the lady guarding the rope let us sneak in and take some pics. She was very nice. Later that evening, there was a family who reserved the area kind of behind R&C but they allowed 13 people in to watch the fireworks. The lady who let us sneek into the lower UK was guarding that rope too and put us on her list. So we got some nice Pixie dust. We were standing right above/next to the far left of the lower UK. It was awesome.
So yeah, that was Thursday...
