Dress up and cake tasting

Today was so much fun! My mom, sister and I went shopping at the mall, then had an amazing lunch at On The Border. Tacos and margaritas are always good in my book. After that, we headed over to David's Bridal and tried on some wedding dresses! I've heard some not-so-good things about David's and had an unpleasant experience there myself, so I was less than thrilled to go in and deal with pushy salespeople, but the girl who helped me, Emily, was sweet and cute. :)

This dress is my favorite. I adore the pick up skirt style of bottom and it laces up the back which I love. My mom said it looks like "Belle's" dress from Beauty and the Beast. : )

And this is the princess dress. : ) I like this one too, but it's soooo poufy! It was a struggle to sit down in! It really is a fairy tale dress though! And I love the beaded halter top!

So much fun! I didn't buy either dress yet, because I refuse to buy it the first place I try it on, no matter how much I love it. Plus I still have alot of time to decide, and now I have a really good idea of what I want. I think I know which of the two I like more, but tell me what you think. =D
After that, Josh and I went to our cake tasting at Bamboo Bakery. We got to try seven different types of cake:
Left to right there was white cake with strawberry bavarian cream filling, chocolate cake with whipped cream frosting, pink champagne cake with champagne frosting, white cake with peaches and cream filling, red velvet cake with chocolate icing, lemon cake with buttercream frosting and some yucky espresso cake. :-/ They were all pretty good except for the espresso cake and the champagne cake. Such a pretty name for such a disgusting cake. Ever wondered what carbonated pepto bismol tastes like? Wellllll, I think I have your answer.

Anyway, we chose the first cake with buttercream frosting. Yum, I am so excited! And this is the design of cake we chose:

It's a bad picture, but you get the ... ahem, picture. This cake looks sort of gold, but we are doing solid white. And of course the scroll writing will say: "Joshua & Kristy Oct 10 2009" not whoever those people are. We're gonna add some fresh flowers in our colors, just a few, as to not overdo the already designed cake. Just a touch of a few orange roses to give it some color, and then of course our cake topper.

It was a productive and fun day, just another step closer to the wedding! <3
