Don’t Let Them Eat Cake

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011 by admin

Traditionalist beware, I am about to suggest a replacement for one of the pinnacles of a wedding celebration…the cake. I am with ya, and if I were to get married all over again, I would get the same cake I had. It was a delicious grocery birthday cake- wedding cake with the story of how my husband and I met wrapping the three tiers, but I digress. Over at Martha Stewart Weddings they offer some unique ideas for those of us who never liked cake in the first place.

cake alternatives

Provencal Cakes, Mini Pavlovas (meringues), Croquembouche (a very pretty and delicious import from the French bakery masters. It would totally compliment this Ulla Majia lace dress), Petit Fours, Mini Angel Food Cakes, Tower of Pies (pies are making a big statement in 2011)

In honor of New Year’s, which somehow always manages to sneak up on me, this inspiration board is all about ringing it in.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Coral Yellow & Taupe

Thursday, December 16th, 2010 by admin

It has been so freakishly cold, and I live in the South ya’ll. I didn’t think I signed up for this when I moved back from NYC. Anywho, I fell in love with this color palette because it’s warm and happy, yet subtle. Most beachy color schemes tend to use brights, which are great too, but this gives another option for someone who likes color, but doesn’t want it to scream.

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Pale Pink & Gold

Thursday, December 9th, 2010 by admin

Today’s wedding inspiration board colors just came to me for some reason(usually I have to really think hard). I knew I wanted to highlight a soft whimsical palette, that could work for just about any wedding at just about any time of the year, and this is it, for now. Enjoy!

Wedding Inspiration Board of the Week – Red & White

Thursday, December 2nd, 2010 by admin

I love this time of year because the special edition candy cane ice cream is finally back in stores. I’m not a huge fan of peppermint in general, but put it in a vat of wholesome ice cream goodness and I am all about it. So, in the holiday spirit, this week’s inspiration board was inspired by the red and white stripe treat we all know, and love (at least in some form or another).

Emma Watson’s cute feather and vintage lace Rafael Lopez for Atelier Mayer made me fall for feathers.

Color Theme of the Week – Red & Pink

Thursday, November 11th, 2010 by admin

I’ve kind of got pink on the brain. This is something I thought I would NEVER (ever, ever) say, but it seems preparing for a baby girl has already changed me. So this week it’s pink and red.

Thursday, October 14th, 2010 by admin

I can’t lie, I saw this combo in the current issue of Brides Magazine and got inspired. I guess you could say they did their job…
