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}

Wedding Details :: Cake

is a photographer that documents life on film. She resides in Florida and I somehow came across her blog. I love how she captures the littlest details. Since I’ve been obsessed with TLC’s Cake Boss, I had cake on the brain. So I’ve grabbed a few of her scrumptious cake pictures (before and some after) to provide some eye candy for the weekend. Make sure to keep a tissue nearby, as drooling will commence is 5, 4, 3…

Deliciously divine! See you Monday!

Eating Green :: Green Themed Cakes

I love weddings. I mean, I love weddings and every thing that comes in a wedding celebration. There are a few parts of a wedding celebration that I can not miss, one of which being cake. I love cake. Not as much as I love weddings, but they are pretty close in my book. Luckily, my husband is always my date and I basically get two slices of cake. So, here is my ode to some lovely cakes in various shades of green.

1. Cutesy Cupcakes: These cupcakes are simple and make a fashionable statement. The Kermit mums and orchids are a great addition. If you are worried about the cake cutting tradition, order a smaller cake and use that as your topper. Cupcakes are a modern and cheap alternative to a traditional tiered cake. Look for your local grocery, bakery or cupcake store for more details.

2. Swirly Sensation: A repeated swirl design is done on this four tiered cake.

3. Jolly Green Giant: This giant 4 tiered cake is simple in design but makes a big statement with it demanding size. The cymbidium orchids top this fondant covered cake and the simple black dots replicate a seam.

4. Modernly delicious: In various shades of green and white, the circles are repeated and layered all over the cake. It is beautifully done for the mod bride.

5. Snazzy Slices: This two tier white cake with Italian vanilla butter cream with lime green polka dot design is perfectly coordinated with the cake server. The fresh flowers top this gorgeously green cake.

6. Tropical Flare: Tropical flowers looks like they were painted on this festive fondant cake.

7. Formal and elegant: White fondant with vertical sparkles and sage green bow detail this three tier cake.

8. Simply Green: Butter cream frosting and Swiss dots and green ribbon make this cake a sweet statement.

9. Island Style: This petal shaped cake (scalloped shaped) is perfect for the island celebrations. It is paired with green cymbidium orchids, Swiss dots and a pearl bead border.

10. Strawberries Forever: This cake is enrobed in white chocolate and layered to give an updated striped design. The strawberries are dipped in chocolate for a unique look.

11. Spotlight Lime: Fondant in bright lime just screams for attention. Fondant circles accent this bold cake. Source unknown. If you know the source, please let me know so I can give proper credit. Thank you.
