Fall Wedding Cakes!

Tomorrow I'm meeting with my good friend Neil,
who I have known since I was fourteen years old!
Just so happens the man makes the most delicious treats, and he has graciously agreed to make our wedding cake!

Here are some of my favorite pictures of Fall wedding cakes I found while researching styles:

The cake that started them all! We want a dark chocolate ganache frosted wedding cake, with accents of orange to tie in the October feel!

Below is another chocolate and orange wedding cake, love the rustic look! It looks like the kind of cake you would get caught scraping the frosting off of with your finger when you were a little kid!















I think I need some cake now! Bon apetit!

Librarian Bridal Chic!

While more buttoned-up bridal style may not be all the rage these days, when see-through corsets are considered appropriate wedding day attire, we mustn't forget our class, ladies! Take a page out of the sexy librarian handbook & impress with eclectic, whimsical and sophisticated style! Sleeves, brooches and vintage pearls and a must!
No cardigans necessary!

I love that these brides had the courage to rock a librarian's must-have accessory: glasses! I'm usually not a fan of specs on one's wedding day, but there are exceptions to every rule!

Happy Hallo-Wedding!

We are getting married on October 22nd, 2011; however we're going more for an autumnal theme with oranges and purples, not black and fake cobwebs. But it's a really fun idea, and I love anyone who has the gumption to go for it!
We're not planning a Halloween wedding, but if we were...


Elegant crepe ivory and white dresses,
with just an accent of black in the ribbon detail!


Such awesome decor ideas! This ain't Party City, kids!





Does it get more Halloween than a dessert table full of candy? Trick or treat!


If you can't have a kooky wedding cake on Halloween, when can you?


So adorable! These truffles from Moonstruck would be the perfect favor!

My Favorite Video Bridal Fashion Reports from Knot.com

SP10_CarolHerrer-500x375

Carolina Herrera's collection this season is all about famous women artists! Is there any designer that isn't more in tune with thinking women's fashion tastes? Not in my book!

SP10_JimHjelm-500x375

Jim Hjelm's Spring 2011 collection is so lovely, with lots of lace and ruffles in organza. So feminine and undeniably pretty!

SP10_Christos-500x375


Christos' Spring 2011 line was my personal favorite work of designer Amsale, who designs her own label and Kenneth Pool as well. With Christos, she was really able to go all out with vintage, heirloom details she has seen passed down through generations.

SP10_ClaiPett-500x375


Claire Pettibone is the go-to designer for unapologetic vintage designs, and this year she has moved back in time to rediscover historic lace patterns. The dress above uses cotton Queen' Anne's Lace, which is one of the oldest lace patterns in English tradition. It reminds me of the opening sequence of Jane Campion's "Bright Star".
