Charming Cakes for Charming Brides

 

I love looking at wedding cakes! Here are a few I've seen that might make you smile, too. :)

Simple Like Me

After I just posted about a cute little cake for my dessert table, I decided to look for inspiration for my super simple wedding cake that my aunt is going to make. I came across a couple photos and they are simple, cute, and elegant. I would definitely like to see something like this grace my cake table. Does anybody know where I can find roses like this? Actually, I think I will check Etsy. I can guarantee there are some on there, or someone willing to make some. I can't stop staring. It's so cute.

Satisfied Sweet Tooth

 

I find this cake to be so freakin' cute for some reason. I absolutely love it! I was searching the web and stumbled upon this article, and she tells you where you can order this cakestand and many, many others. This is absolutely so delightful, and it looks so yummy! I definitely want a little dessert table full of cakes and goodies to fill the already full tummies of my guests. As for my actual wedding cake, I want something super simple. A one or two tiered cake just so we can cut it for tradition. My aunt bakes and decorates beautiful cakes, so she will be making mine for my wedding. I think she will be relieved to hear that I don't want anything big. This is one of the ways that I am able to have my wedding on a budget. (Probably about $6,000) As for the design, I'm not sure yet. I still have plenty of time to figure out the little details. If anybody has ideas on how to decorate my simple, little wedding cake, I'd love to hear 'em.

Linen Inspiration!

I found this picture over at bbjlinen. They sell all types of linen that you would need for your wedding. I thought this to be so cute. What a neat idea! If you need tablecloths for your wedding, check them out. I don't recall the prices since I already have mine picked out, but their selection is huge!

HyPOMania

I really, really want these hanging over each table at my wedding. I think that it will add a complete ambiance to the room. I will make mine myself, but if you are wanting to do this and don't want to do them yourself, check out the many shops on Etsy that have made a hobby to provide you with cute tissue paper poms, such as this one.

If you want to make them yourself, check out Martha Stewart Weddings for the how to: http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/pom-poms-and-luminarias

and find all your tissue paper needs here. They are only $35.00 for a pack of 240. If you need less, there's plenty of tissue paper elsewhere, also.

In Love with Another

Like I said in my first post, I find a lot of dresses that I like on Milanoo. This is one that I am absolutely in love with. I would, of course, order it in white. Would this be an appropriate wedding dress? I would keep it the same color and put it on my bridesmaids, but I'm afraid it would be too much. Thoughts? Also, it's only $141.99. Woot Woot!

Let's Get Floral

Since my wedding is going to have some pretty dark (but beautiful) colors, I definitely want a floral touch to lighten things up to make it super feminine. However, I don't want to deal with the stress of ordering real flowers, hoping they look okay and hoping that they make it in time, unwilted. It would stress me out to no end if I didn't have everything in my hands, ready to go before my wedding day. 

This is why I decided to go with silk flowers. They look real and are super cheap. These are the flowers I decided to go with. The carnations are so cheap but are still super pretty. They have a million colors, too. I wanted to do a mix of colors, but I want mostly cream to lighten up the room. I'm not sure how many flowers I want per table, but they are pretty cheap so I bet I could have enough to make it seem like a spent a fortune. Each flower is only .55/flower, and are really tall so they will fit pretty much any vase you decide to use. I was kind of skeptical about ordering flowers off the internet without knowing what they look like with my own eyes, but I will order a couple beforehand to make sure. However, I'm sure they are fine. David Tutera used this site, after all.
