Carley & Jordan Part II: Vintage Glamour and Croquet

Remember that supercute engagement photo shoot I featured back in September that featured the couple in the Minneapolis Public Library shot by Brooke Ringdahl of  ta'rooke photography?  Well here is their equally adorable wedding!  Enjoy!!

Reception Trend Alert: Floating Flowers

So, three times now this week I've seen photos of suspended reception decor and figured that's a sign that it deserves it's own feature.  Here are some photos of the attention-grabbing trend...

Martha knows best...

Ok, so I seriously love Martha Stewart and all the insanely awesome things she creates.  So on this early Friday morning, she is who I am turning to as I am drawing a complete blank on what to post for you today!  Here are some her crazy crafty ideas...

A tote bag for your bridesmaids!

It's easier than it sounds- your or someone professional can create an image or text, convert it to a digital file, print it on iron-on transfer paper, and iron it on the bag! Make sure you fill it with some goodies for them too, they deserve it!

Something (discreetly) blue!

Your need for something blue doesn't have to be a cause for stress! Just buy some pretty blue ribbon, tie it in a bow, and safety pin it to the underskirts of your gown- problem solved!

Mat & Shari: Autumn Riverside Wedding

Let Them Eat Cake!: Spring/Summer Edition

I decided to shuffle through some of the wedding cake photos on Flickr and find some that would be perfect for spring and summer weddings!  Amongst all the cakes (and cake wrecks), there were a few that I thought were really fun, unique, and perfect for this time of year.  The links below the photos will take you back to their original site.

Despite the blue accented quilting, ribbon details, blue painted flowers, and suger calla lillies, this cake manages to not look overdone!

These cupcakes are so much fun for a more casual affair!

At first glance this cake looks white, but it's actually tinted the lightest shade of blush- so pretty!

This cake adds a little bit of latin flavor to a hot summer wedding, featuring daisies, sugared key limes, and mexican buttercream filling.  The top and bottom layers are coconut lime cake with key lime curd filling and coconut cream filling.  The middle layer is vanilla ginger cake with mango filling.

 

While this cake may be a little (or way too) loud for many brides, I appreciate it's boldness!

Featuring lots of great suger flowers, this cake's color palette really makes it stand out!

This sweet, whimsical cake would be so pretty at an outdoor reception!

What do you think of these cakes as opposed to more traditional white wedding cakes? Share your thoughts in the comments sections!!
