Ruffles. How much do I love thee? There are many reasons why I love the ruffled texture. They blur the edges and make everything seem soft and feminine. Ruffles are welcoming like a soft warm blanket that you can just bury your face into the seams. This mood board has a collection of ruffled items, not necessarily that would go fabulous all together, but lovely enough to accent various details of your event.

In the Clutch of Time: Silky and fabulous. Roomy enough to keep all your baubles without toting along heavy luggage. {Murwati; $25}

The Edge of Ruffle: This reasonable cake plate will elevate the cake to a standing ovation. A simple ruffled edge adds class with flirty appeal. {Williams Sonoma; $53}

Fluffy Fleurs: Peonies are naturally ruffled and have layers of soft petals. The Parrot tulip is another flower that replicates the look of layered fabrics. {Brian Adams Photographics}

Flirty Femme: Allow your bridesmaids to look fabulously fresh in a layered look. Choose dresses that will flatter your girls’ figure and wallet. {J Crew; $70}

Bridal Bliss: Beaded lace bodice provides structure and contrast to the free flowing ruffled skirt. {Watters; $1350}

Pretty in Petals: Bedeck the backs of the chairs for added flair. A variety of textures and colors will sure to make your reception incredible. {Chameleon Chairs}

Step by Step: T-strap with sky high 5 inch heel is accented with a feathery flower. {Badgley Mischka; 215}

Layered Cake: White chocolate layers the sides of the cake, creating a rough edge. The rolled chocolate flakes are bunched together to create a bouquet of ruffles. {Nicky Grant}

Food is one of the most important aspects in an event. Typically, your guests will choose with their eyes, rather than their stomach. Having the food presented in an artful display takes the food to the next step. A cake stand can be used for other things, not just a cake. Group muffins or layer scones for your next brunch. Add some candlelight romance to a dinner with a set of candles in various sizes to your dinner table. Let your creative side take over. Here are a few cake stands to help bring your table and food to new heights.

1) Full Metal Jacket: Aluminum cake stands make a bold and stylish statement. (Sur la Table; $20-$40)

2) Bright White: Earthenware is a no-fuss material that is casual enough for everyday use, but rises to the occasion for any celebration. (JCPenney; $24)

3) Good as Gold: Dress up your table in this shabby chic cake stand. Don’t let the delicate detailing fool you, it is durable to handle any occasion. (Amazon; $25)

4) Bead Delighted: The scalloped edging and beaded features creates a stylish setting for next brunch. (Pottery Barn; $38)

5) Take a Bow: The three tiers are laced with a gorgeous grosgrain ribbon. Your food will look like a present ready to be opened. (Layla Grayce; $150)

6) Naturally Green: Removable tiers add versatility to this set of cake plates. Hand painted borders and scalloped edges add a bit of an old world feel to this stoneware set. (Williams-Sonoma; $26-$39)

7) Crisp and Clean: Sleek lines and minimal approach to food presentation will bring out the modern style in you. A square version is also available. (Macy’s; $15-$30)

Ruffled Feathers: The crimped borders have an alluring feature to this pedestal cake stand. Stack or stand alone for a striking scene. (Feather Your Nest; $35-$55)

Which one takes the cake? I personally want them all.
