Airplanes Overhead

We have been thinking about going somewhere warmer since our nice weather turned all snowy and blizardy. That got us to thinking about planes and where they go. Then, we got to thinking about airplanes and weddings. [Seriously, our brains work like that!]. We had no idea that there were so many couples getting "Up, Up and Away!"   Now we want to do a "Plane Event!"

Wedding Inspirations | Naked Wedding Cakes

Today we are loving full fledged nudity! Not THAT kind of nudity, the kind for cakes. You know, sans fondant. These cakes may be naked on the outside but are filled with yummy goodness like frosting, fruit, creams or ganache. Top your cake with seasonal fruit, flowers, succulents, greens or a cake topper and you'll have yourself one deliciously, tasty wedding dessert!

Pictures to the rescue

I love it when photographers share their pics with me.  It lets me glance into other weddings that I don't attend.  It also gives me a fresh perspective as I might see a wedding one way, but an artist may capture something that I missed entirely. That is why it is absolutely critical that you choose your photographer with a cautious, yet completely trusting spirit.  You are relying on them to capture your day in true fashion.

The following pictures from Huffaker Photography lets me know that Clint wouldn't let any photo opportunity go by.  

More Colors of Love

For those brides who dream in color, blue is beautiful and comes in so many shades that who could argue with these ideas for your event?

Wedding Cakes are definitely an art!

Love this one!

How fun for an outdoor wedding!

Cake, Cake and More Cake

Who doesn't love cake? Chocolate, cherry, vanilla, strawberry, caramel; every flavor you can imagine has been featured in a cake. Upside down, frosted, sugared, poked and filled, cake is still the number one dessert served at a wedding. And why not? It is tradition. A time-honored way to share your good taste with friends and family.

Wedding cakes are not inexpensive. Couples can spend thousands of dollars on these tasty creations, so it doesn't make sense to regulate them to a corner of the room where your guests don't see them. Let them shine - in the middle of the room- in the middle of your dance floor - where they belong. Make a huge photo op out of the art of cutting cake. We are not talking about shoving pieces of flour and sugar into each other's faces, this is never appropriate. What we are encouraging is seizing the moment to cut a slice, maybe with your grandparent's wedding set, and feeding each other the confection that you took months to decide on.

Perfect and celebrate the art of eating cake!

Cuties for your wedding events

I just came across this web site and had to share it with you - Divine Delights They are out of California and have the cutest Cookies and Petits Fours for your wedding celebration. But why stop at just weddings? Couldn't you see these cakes at a bridal shower? They would be adorable even for a baby shower!

I think a tiered tower of these cakes would be lovely for a spring wedding. Instead of one large cake, you could order a cake per person and have a plate of them in the middle of each table as part of the table decor.

We actually did this at a fall wedding a couple of years ago. The bride ordered a cake for each table. We had it iced in an ivory plain buttercream and then I made small rose nosegays for the the toppers while surrounding the elevated cake plates with berries, leaves, evergreens, and florals. Her guests loved it and when it was all said and done, she spent the same amount on the guest cakes that she would have for a larger cake that would have been shared by everyone. Plus---she saved quite a bit on table centerpieces! Smart and tasty!
