Yellow Roses Wedding: Cake & Kokeshi Wedding Cake Toppers...

Custom Kokeshi Cake Toppers from HandPaintedLoveBoxes


bouquet by Martha Stewart Weddings...
Yellow Roses mean:
Joy, Happiness & mostly Friendship...

This scene from Kate & Leopold makes me Smile...
Charlie: I got to talk to you about this, okay?
                'Cause there's some *hit here that just cannot be said.
               Leopold: Did you assemble a bouquet for Patrice?
                Charlie: Look, you just can't tell a woman she's...
                "gracefully serene."
                Leopold: (tossing Charlie's bouquet aside..)No, no, this will not do.
                Charlie: Wha... Why?
                What is wrong with this one?
                Leopold: The orange lily implies extreme hatred.
                The begonia and lavender
                danger and suspicion, respectively.
                Every flower has a meaning, Charles.
                Might I suggest the amaryllis, which declares the recipient
                a most splendid beauty.
                Or the cabbage rose.

Blushing Glitter Wedding: The Cake & Party Favors...

I love this wedding cake from TheKnot.com, but you could create something similar at home with...
THESE pretty royal icing flowers from CupCakesbyChristy
If you made the cake small enough...
You could display it on this gorgeous antique platter from TheToyBox
These lovely glassine bags from LoveybyElle would be perfect to put some pink and silver Jordan Almonds or some other lovely candy as a favor.
And these tiny boxes from PaperDesigner would be perfect to wrap up a silver charm for flower girls or bridesmaids...

Babycakes is a specialty bakery that can make you Vegan, Gluten free, delicious treats that you will think were made out of pixie dust and magic, but they aren't, they use real ingredients in their baking and if you don't happen to live near their bakeries in NY and LA.. you can DIY by following recipes in the famous Babycakes books which are available through the Babycakes site HERE... and on Amazon.com
So many people require gluten free that it's nice to have a treat that all can enjoy... And, Babycakes is a bakery that wins competitions against other bakers that use traditional ingredients! So even if you don't have a paticular interest in Vegan or Gluten free... you might want to stop by anyway just to taste their award winning creations...

Cranberry Wedding: The Cake...

I love big and elaborate cakes and fun froofy cakes and sweet little cakes like this one. Instead of these paper flowers, I would tuck some spray roses in a couple of different pinks or decorate with tiny rosebuds all around the bottom and middle and then for the top...
