I'm Not As Original As I Thought I Was

My favorite flower is the bird of paradise (and for those who care, my least favorite is the red long-stemmed rose. I like tea roses just fine), so the bird of paradise is kind of the theme for the wedding.

If you do a Google search for bird of paradise wedding, there are countless hits and pictures. There are special bird of paradise invitations and thank-you cards (which are mostly pretty tacky IMO).

Kinda tacky.

There are bird of paradise bouquets and hairpieces and table decorations and candles and frickin' everything. It kind of upsets me, because I hate doing things that everyone else is doing, and apparently the bird of paradise is something that everyone else is doing.

I don't care, though. Not this time. I love that flower, dammit, and I'm going to have it at my wedding. Maybe it won't permeate every fold and fiber associated with the wedding, but it will definitely be prominent. And what's wrong with that? My wedding will be unique in other ways.

But I might steal these ideas anyway...

If You Don't Like It, Suck It!

I have found my cake!

Kind of.

It's a combination between this

and this

I like the second cake's flower accouterments better than the first. However, I do love cupcakes.

So how about uhhh... the top of the cupcake mountain will be crowned with the second cake, and the cupcakes themselves will have flowers on them that match the ones on the cake proper.

I'm a goddamn genius.
