Cake of the Week: Buttons

This week's cake actually comes from one of my brides. Neil and Bethany were Married June 2011 at Kindred Oaks in Georgetown,TX. Their cake really reflected a mix of vintage details and modern lines. LOVE!!

Two Step Tuesday 3/20/2012

Christina Perri and Katy McAllister, beautiful and soul full songs that can really focus you in on each other.... LOVE!!!

Fashion.... Put it all on me!!!

I am such a fashionista, I just hide it under a tom boy facade. So when I saw the latest trend of having a separate reception dress I was in love. Now this is something most of us can only dream of... but let's dream!

 Valentino Fall 2010, so MAJOR!!

 This dress is a great way to carry through your color scheme, be formal and still fabulous.

 

At a little bit more of a reasonable price point, this dress from MillyBride.com is gorgeous and a sure fire way to be retro chic.

Bliss Magazine

I had planned to do a little blog about my photography at the end of the month, featuring some of my more recent shoots. However, I was very blessed to be featured recently in an online magazine blog, and am super excited to share the news. I've included several of the pictures that were featured in the blog as well as a link to the actual feature.

Two Step Tuesday 3/13/12

This Week I've got 3 songs for you to gnaw on. I've always loved when an artist does a very unexpected arrangement of a song. So I decided to seek one out, and in the process fell in love with a new artist, Tyler Ward!! I just adore his arrangements of We Found Love (Rhianna), and Paradise (Cold Play). Neither are the most traditional love songs, but they really invoke that crazy unending love feeling to me. I've also included an original song called Falling.... AMAZING!! If you agree you can find each of these songs for sale on Itunes, by searching Tyler Ward. Enjoy

Cake of the Week: Cotton and Crumbs

I just really love this cake! The soft colors and modern detail, make this cake timeless. Then you top off a modest sized cake with matching cupcakes and everyone wins. Just a great design by Cotton & Crumbs.

Let's hear it for the BOYS!!!

"While everyone is looking at her, she'll be looking at you." That Men's Warehouse commercial gets me every time. So in honor of staring him down from the end of the aisle, I've dedicated this post to the looks that make your heart skip a beat.

Sweet Tweats: Donuts

If sweets are a weakness of yours, too, here is a fun way to incorporate something sweet into your special day.  

Donut Cake....... Yummmm

This first item is a great way to give your guest a little snack before or after dinner. This second item is perfect for an after dinner snack combining a donut hole and hot chocolate. It's sure to warm up your guest and get them ready to dance the night away.

You can also, just use them as sweet goodness that represents your love of sweets and your unique sense of style!

Cake of the Week: In the Buff!!

This cake provides two of my favorite trends. Icing-less cakes (though i like to say they are naked) and succulents. I'll try not to rant too much on the succulents, because they need their own post. So, let's just jump on this Naked Cake trend. I first noticed this trend when pictures from Hillary Duff's wedding emerged. Though, personally, a big icing fan, she said she really just didn't want to be all sugared out that day, and I can appreciate that! Now, as a wedding photographer, I see LOTS of cake. They are usually pristine and white. So the irregularity and rawness of this cake really appeals to me. This cake actually comes from an Austin wedding (fitting since I live in Austin), was shot by Katherine O'brien, and made by Stardust Pastry. LOVE!!!

Two Step Tuesday!!

It's Tuesday, and it's time for my very first Two Step Tuesday. Every Tuesday, I will share those first dance worthy songs that you may have never heard or just forgot you love.

I'll Stand by you: Carrie Underwood ; Originally a Pretenders song, this is a sweet  song that really creates an intimate and emotional moment. It would also work for a father/daughter dance.

 Falling In: Lifehouse; A song about facing adversity and finally finding that person that makes it all alright. This isn't going to be one of your more traditional dance beats, but is perfect for keeping things upbeat.

Viva Revival Designs and Blog

So, where did I get my AMAZING banner?? The same place this chick did... well in all fairness this "chick" designed it and is kind of my BFF. Not only is she a kick butt graphic artist, but her blog kind of ROCKS!!
Check it out... Viva Revival Blog And wait till you see what she does with jewelry, you and your bridesmaids won't want to miss out!!

Cherry Blossom Mania!!

 

So, I'm currently obsessed with the idea of Cherry Blossoms as a wedding theme. Now, obviously, I know it may not be the most original thought in the world, but for a Texas girl like me who only get's as close as a "Oklahoma" Red Bud, I'm in AWE!!! So here are a few pictures I found on the internet and Pinterst to help start your obsession too!!

 

CAKES!! Just the smallest details, 

but with crazy romance and elegance in them.... LOVE

Fun accents with, wine glasses and gorgeous, simple invitations. The wine glasses are from ETSY... there is a lot to choose from if these aren't your fave, and the invitations are from Zazzle. I could do separate blogs on those alone, but for your sanity and mine, i'll leave it at this. I have attached links to both pictures in case you decide to share my obsession.
