Burlap and Lace Styled Bridal Shoot

burlap and lace blog post-p001How fun it was to be part of this beautiful styled wedding shoot.  I was approached by Nina of Lilly Ann Photography to help put her vision of a rustic and pretty county bridal shoot together.  She asked for lace, burlap and hints of turquoise and the end result was nothing short of pure sweetness!

It is always nice to work with friends and it was my pleasure to be in this with Carmen of Carmen’s Sweet Creations.  We have really become quite a duo :)  She is not only my go to cake pop girl, she can really wow with her other baking talents as you will see with these beautiful gold trimmed fondant flowers!

I put together ‘I do’ flag cupcake toppers by first designing the printable.  Then after cutting them out, I used a hot glue gun to attach it to a wooden toothpick.  I chose a toothpick over a lollipop stick because I think it looks more rustic.  The little gold ball at the top is actually a larger circular sprinkle that I dipped in in gold sparkle.  Lasted I tied a cute jute twine bow and glue gunned that to the paper flag.  A bit tedious, but soooo cute!

This cupcake was wrapped in a bit of lace to add a bit more cuteness :)

This adorable blue ruffle cake by Carmen got just a bit more love with some cream burlap flowers I put together.  They are so simple, just cut out various sizes of circles and glue gun them together.  then I added the wooden button to the front, which hides the goopy glue job :)  Lastly, I hot glue gunned a toothpick to the back so that it could be added to the cake.  You place the flower face down and drop a good amount of hot glue in the center and then hold the toothpick vertical until the glue hardens.  all done!

Vintage Ice Cream Parlour Wedding Table

ice cream blog post-p001

With soft pastels and a punch of red, I created a custom vintage Ice Cream Parlour for my brother in law and his new wife.  I used their initials and called it ‘T&T Original Ice Cream Parlour.’  It was a smash hit with the guests, young and old alike!

There were so many personalized details that I worked into this party package design.  These waffle cone sleeves added such a sweet touch and really worked to pull the parlour theme together.

I found these adorable syrup jars at the local supermarket and knew that they would look great all dressed up with my food labels…and not to mention, they helped keep the table clean!

I designed several different style food labels, but my favorite were these straw flag tags.  I used some pretty pastel pink striped straws and glued a mini white jawbreaker to the top to add a finished look.  They looked absolutely fabulous darling ~

The ice cream table worked as a great photo opportunity for Megan Edelman Photograhy to take some very sweet ring pictures!

The wrappers and cupcake toppers were all coordinated and personalized with the custom monogram logo.  The banner attached to the front of the table also read ‘Love is Sweet.’

Upon the announcement that the Ice Cream Bar had opened, a flood of guests came hurriedly to create their own special treat!

And so it was, especially for my boys, a dreamy table of colorful and tasty treats. A retro vintage ice cream parlour that will not soon be forgotten!

Wishing T+T a lifetime of

Love, Laughter and Happily Ever Afters!
