So I realized today that even though we've only been "offically" engaged for just over a month- I've already got the majority of what we want to our wedding figured out! lol- no procrastination here :-P
Anywho, a while back, I was browsing the magazine section at Walmart while pretending to do my job and aboslutely fell in love with this cake! I took a picture and showed Richard and he actually likes it! So we decided to do the same basic thing- only our cake won't have Fondant (or however you spell it) and we are going to do varying shades of purple and green butterflies.
So heres where the issue comes up. We can not for the life of us find decent looking purple and green butterflies ANYWHERE! I were able to find some ok green ones at Michaels but they only come in a multi pack with 5 other colors that we wouldnt use. We debated buying the multi pack and trying to paint over the other colors but just didn't think it would look right and we would only have 1 size, where we want varying sizes.
So after searching and searching, i was about to give up. Then i found G and G Webstore. They've got a ton of cute stuff for every occaision, including plain, unpainted butterflies in varying sizes :-). They best part is that everything there is CHEAP! A box of butterflies at Michaels would cost about 10. I can get them 12 for about $6.00 in any size i want! Richard has agreed to help me paint them too :-D.
