Tiny Treats

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I am obsessed with anything miniature.  If a “mini” version exists, you know I have to have it.  When I was little, all I wanted in the world was a dollhouse.  Mini furniture, mini people…and all so realistic!  As we speak, I have a set of miniature glass animals on my desk that never fail to amuse me.

That’s why, when I saw these mini wedding cake pans on Amazon, I could not stop thinking about them.  I can’t wait to host a bridal shower or engagement party and make a tiny cake for each guest with these adorable tins.  Better yet–gather the bridal party together and make a night of baking and decorating the cakes to surprise the bride with.  Who wouldn’t love such a sweet treat?!

Royal Purple

Thursday, August 7th, 2008

Shades of violet, lilac and lavender make their royal comeback this season! In everything from designer dresses to fashionable decor, this hue adds a hint of drama to everything it touches. Take a look at my idea of a truly royal wedding inspired by the color purple.

Outrageous Weddings

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

You might think your site fees and the prices for your flowers are outrageous, but check out these weddings that give the words “outrageous weddings” a new meaning.

1. In Texas, Chidi Ogbuta had her childhood dream fulfilled when Absolutely Edible Cakes baked her an amazing wedding cake. The cake was 5′4″ and built to resemble the bride in likeness and in size. Photo and story from nbci.com.

2. Some couples are choosing to get married in a graveyard, and others at a racetrack. Check here for more outrageous wedding sites!

3. This wedding story came from Bridezilla.com. Tina Boaz-Murray is captured with her little zoo friend here. The couple got married at the Houston Zoo, which they thought was “romantic.” Here she is posing with one of the animals there.

Lovely Yellow

There’s something about the color yellow that evokes bright, sunny, summer days. Thread this happy hue throughout your wedding for a fun, modern look that will brighten up a spring or summer wedding, be sweet in autumn and golden in winter. Here’s some lovely yellow shades that we hope will inspire your yellow wedding this or next season.
