Chevron Patterns & Lots of Succulents!

Tuesday, October 25th, 2011

I have to say one of my favorite new trends that started this past year or two was the love of succulents and the chevron pattern! I am totally a clean, modern type of girl so this wedding is speaking my love language! I had the pleasure of working with the fabulously talented Carissa, from JL Designs yet again who did the amazing floral and event design. The wedding was held at the Luxe Hotel in Bel Air and LRS Event Planning helped the day come together beautifully! I love all the gorgeous photos Meg Perotti shot and can’t wait to work with her again!

For the wedding cake we incorporated a grey chevron pattern and then did a single sugar succulent on the top tier to keep with the simple, modern look of the wedding!

This has to be one of my favorite dessert set ups from last year. I love my new clear stands…they showcase the desserts perfectly!

Modern California Wedding

Thursday, October 13th, 2011

I was lucky enough to work on another fabulous wedding with some of my best friends! Gabriel Ryan Photographers shot the gorgeous images, Jesi Haack Design planned & designed it, and Carissa from JL Designs did the amazing florals. I love the modern look of everything with all the bright pops of colors.

For the small two tier cake we wanted a lot of texture, but white on white and then accented it with a bright orange sugar flower on top!

Modern, Fun Wedding!

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Well I am back safe & sound from Italy…I had the most amazing time there and will share more with you soon, but first I thought I would feature one of my favorite weddings from last year that I’ve been dying to show you. I once again got to work with a fabulous dream team of other vendors, with my dear friend Jesi, from Jesi Haack Weddings at the helm. Below Jesi describes the fun & unique elements that made this wedding one of a kind!

Jesi says….

“Alicia & Scott are hilarious! Scott is one of the writers for It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, so of course they wanted their wedding to portray their awesome sense of humor. They also have the BEST story of how they got together. Scott is known for his well manicured beard. Alicia is known for exceptionally large (yet beautiful) teeth. Sooooo, we took that and with the help from Karrie Pyke Designs and Posh Paperie, made that the apex of our design. It was my most favorite element. The rest just fell in to place, especially with the clean, crisp style of Carissa from JL Designs. She spray painted succulents white!! WHAT?? They realized my *not so secret* dream with their 1st dance to my all time favorite song, “Glory of Love” by Peter Cetera. AND Scott’s dancing in his scuba gear. And who freaking better to capture the entire thing??? Max Wanger. Done Deal. Enjoy their story.”

I had such a great time setting up this dessert display! I loved the modern, clean look to it and the color scheme is definitely right up my ally! Jesi made the most amazing backdrop for me and I couldn’t of been happier with it! This was the first time we made a white succulent sugar flower too and I have to say it is one of my favorites now!

Alicia’s mom made the funniest cake topper too that fit perfectly with the theme of the night…

Weddings with Family & Friends

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

One blessing that comes with my job is being able to help dear friends and family out on the most special day of their life…their wedding!!! A couple months ago I got to make the wedding cake for my brother-in-law and further sister-in-law. They are such an awesome pair together and I am so happy to have them both as part of my family! Their wedding day was filled with lots of fun, family, and friends. The color scheme for their wedding was red, black, and white and had a spanish flair to it, so I decided to do sugar jewels and deep red sugar roses. I loved the stacking of the cake and overall the day was a blast! Here are some photos from the day!

Here is Louisa and I enjoying the moment!

And lastly watching my little baby getting cut…a little painful, but the result is delicious

The second wedding that I had the privilege of being a part of was for a dear friend of my family…Nicole is actually the sister of my husband’s best friend and their family has been extremely close with my in-laws family for forever, so it was so nice to be able to be a part of their special day! I loved all of the personal touches that Nicole and Paul had for their wedding! We got to make ranunculus flowers and use lace sugar accents and piped tiny white dots for accents. Here are some photos of the fabulous day!
