Steal Worthy Idea

Can't think of something to do for your cake table? Why not cover it in a blanket of flowers? It is modern here, but can also be done very romantic and vintage. Plus, it really helps the cake stand out and shine! Love this idea!

Etsy Find of the Week: Lint & Lavender

This week's Etsy find is delightfully sweet. These darling felt bird cake toppers come from the cute couple at Lint & Lavender. All their items are locally sourced and handmade with love. These are just the thing for the bride wanting something rustic, chic, and unique! (Plus, how perfect would they be paired with this past Etsy Find??)

They also have these adorable bouts that are pretty much rustic perfect!

Etsy Find of the Week: Kiki La Ru

Ok, I think I've found just about the most adorable thing out there! It is cute, dainty, and oh so charming! Enter Kiki La Ru with her super sweet cake bunting! It is the perfect cake topper for a low key wedding to add some fun and whimsy. All are handmade from vintage and upcycled fabrics. Not only would these be darling on a wedding cake, they would be lovely at a bridal shower too. I can see these being delightful at an afternoon tea party shower. I am so in love with this adorable detail!

Trend We Love

As far as color trends go, I've been seeing a lot of gradients. It's modern, playful, and totally chic! I love seeing it as a bit of color for the cake and am falling for it as a long centerpiece with the flowers! I've also spotted the ombre look in fabric backgrounds for dessert stations or photo booths. And how fun would it be in a bouquet with the gradient fading from the center?? There are so many uses that will tie your whole look together! Love it!

Trend We Love

Move over fondant, buttercream is making a comeback! And it's proving that it is just as chic and modern as its counterpart! Nowadays, brides aren't that worried about having an intricate and detailed cake. They want something real and completely delicious! Bakers are getting more creative when it comes to buttercream and the results are lovely, and quite tasty too!
