Wedding Crunch Time

I've been putting off doing "wedding stuff" until the holidays were over. Honestly I don't think I could've handled trying to do both Christmas and Wedding planning at the same time. The unfortunate part of my plan is now I only have 3 months left to plan everything. Thank goodness I already have my dress and the bridesmaids dresses picked out or else I'd be losing my mind right now.

NOT this color
This color is correct

Sangria. Not my original color. I was going for a lovely shade of green, however seeing the sangria on my little sister blew me away. It was a gorgeous color on her. So Sangria it is.
Check.
We have invites, menus, RSVP cards, and labels, ordered and on their way to be mailed out to guest in the next 2 weeks. Check that off my to-do list as well.
Venue booked, menu created, room booked, and guest list done.
Checkity, check, check, check!
We have a DJ lined up thanks to my wonderful Aunt and cousin and table centerpieces purchased.
Check. Check.
But before I can get to the fun part, namely buying shoes and jewelry, and figuring out my hair and accessories, I need to order the cake and flowers.
Yeah I know, I know. I'm a little late with this. Most places want 6 months or more notice. Oh well. It's not like I need to feed an elaborately decorated, gold and diamond encrusted cake to 400 people. A simple 2 tier confection to feed 65 is all we require. Surely 3 months is plenty of time for someone to bake me a cake. And flowers...really? How hard can it be to tie a bundle of flowers together right?
So that is what is on my to-do list this weekend. Cake and flowers. I hope Fiancé is ready for a fun filled weekend of cake tasting :)
 
Here are some of my ideas:

Obviously NOT the ugly orange and yellow.
I like the White on White look

Not the dress, The Flowers silly!
They are Ranunculus's. Very soft and pretty
