Sarasota Bride to Be

Mmmmm Cake

Katie Biter — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 20:54:02 +0000

Yesterday we went cake tasting at Cakes by Ron. It was Mmmmm so good. First we talked a little about how big the cake needed to be, how many guests, what we are thinking about it looking like, etc…

As you can see in the backround of these next picutres, Ron makes some very beautiful cakes! We are thinking we will need around 5 tiers. We want at least 3 different flavors: Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate with Raspberry filling, and (my personal favorite) Vanilla Cocoanut!

Yours truly enjoying some marble cake

My Mom & Jesse’s parents joined us for the tasting and it was a wonderful delicious and fun wedding planning event!

Cheers!

Holy Moly

Phrase of the Day from my trainer: “Okay 5 more”

5 MORE!!!!! I can’t do 5 more!!!! He’d quickly reply “yes you can” =)

Phew! Glad thats over! I’ll just have to do it all over again, tomorrow. I guess thats what happens when you have Big Goals.

In other wedding news, I’ve been working really hard on Bridesmaids dress. I hope to have that finalized by the end of the week. The truth is, the Bridesmaids will look stunning in anything they wear!

I love you girls!!!!! =)

Back to Life, Back to Reality

Okay, it’s crunch time (and I mean that literally). As you can see from my cutesy little wedding ticker from theknot.com, we have 3 months, 2 weeks, & 3 days to go!!!!!

I started working with a personal trainer this month I went twice before the Hawaii & Colorado trips – and I’ve been twice so far this week with a third session planned for Friday. And boyyyyyy is he kicking my butt!! I love it!

The nice thing about having a trainer is – he makes me do WAY more exercises than I would on my own. I just wouldn’t push myself as hard as he does and I am so greatful for it. I know I am going to look my best, feel my best, & be my best on Our Special Day.

Hawaii 2010

GOOD NEWS: My wonderful Mom(s) & Bridesmaids have started planning my Bridal Shower <3

It's going to be on March 6th That will be a great day. My first type of wedding celebration!

BUT what that forces me to do is start our registry- easier said than done. There is SO much to choose from! I'm thinking I don't know, do I really need a $350 Le Cruset roasting dish???? And where do I register???

(In case you're reading this and attending the Bridal Shower – forget the spatula – I'd rather have the lingerie.)

Lastly, don't forget to check out our wedding website: jesseandkatie.com

Ciao

Happy New Year!

And what a year this will be!

I can’t even begin to absorb all the fabulous things 2010 has in store….

Obviously, what I am most excited about is marrying the man of my dreams <3. We are offically 133 days away from Our Big Day. I have a feeling 133 days is going to go by much quicker than I expect. However, 2010 is going to bring MANY wonderful memories. Here is a few things we have in store this year…

Hawaii – January
Beaver Creek, Colorado – January
Sun Valley, Idaho – March (with Stacy and Nick!!!)
Park City, Utah – March/April
My Bachelorette Party!!- =) – April??
THE WEDDING – May
THE HONEYMOON – June

I'd say that's a pretty good half a year =).

Last but not least… BLAIR AND ETHAN GOT ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers – to my future brother and sister in law

Blair & Ethan

Who’s Next??

This morning I’m at Starbucks pouring some non-fat milk into my grande cinnamon dolce regular pike place coffee when this nice younger-ish guy said to me “Wow, is that an engagement ring!? Thats some bling, he’s a keeper.” Well thank you, Mr. late 20′s kind of a punk rocker slash possible art major slash guitar player. I like the ring too, & the Fiance – yes, he’s a keeper!

Good Friends in Great Places

My wonderful friend Assunta who works at this fabulous salon downtown – Ana Molinari (no website), hooked me up with a free AIR BRUSHING!!!

Thats like, uh, really nice…

It was an awesome experience, Bridesmaid bf Blair came with me (added bonus). The airbrushing was super easy, felt nice, and more importantly – looked fantastic. Seriously, it looked great…according to Blair, it didn’t look like I had any make up on, just a flawless face. Which is obviously not the case, unless you’re Cindy Crawford. AND B even said it looked BETTER in the sunlight. =) Considering our wedding extravaganza is all outside – this is a good thing!

Point is…I really liked it and I am definitely going to go for it for the wedding. Yay, one more decision made!!

Check out the results: (Please keep in mind I am eye liner-less. No worries, that will be done for the big day, also, these pictures dont do it much justice.)

If anyone is interested in this I HIGHLY reccomend Helena at Ana Molinari #(941) 365-1415. Thanks Assunta & Helena!!!

I did it.

My beautiful gown is coming from Elaines Bridal Boutique – right here in good ol’ Sarasota.

I’m not going to tell you about the dress…you will just have to wait and see

My Wedding Planner is Famous

Now that summer & summer vacations are over (almost), I am back to my computer and we are working on lots of stuff!

Catering: Michaels on East a.k.a. the best food & catering service in Sarasota are the winners. If you ask anyone around here they will tell you MOE is the way to go! We have attended many events they have catered and we are consistently blown away. Michael’s was an easy choice. Not to mention Phil (catering manager) is Superb to work with and extremely creative! I am looking forward to working with him on all the special details of our special day <3.

Save the Date: I hope to have the Save the Dates out in early October. Check your mailbox!!

Dress: ohhhhh laaa laaa. I am excited about this one. I think I found it – my ONLY setback is I have only looked at about 4 stores so I feel like I haven't seeeeen it all. I know, I know, most people say "you will know right away" well, I did, and I do, but being the perfectionist my astrological sign has given me, I need to make sure there is NO other dress in ANY other store I like. Crazy? Maybe. Clairfying? Absolutely.
