Cake. So sweet, so lovely, and always surprising. Pasty Chefs have taken their confectionary talents to a whole new level making cake a medium for amazing pieces of art. While we have all seen the crazy things these chefs do with cake on tv, there is one sweet surprise still to be found within. The actual cake itself. That’s right, we have discovered yet another way to make cake a little bit sweeter. From amazing colors to creative designs, these cakes are full of personality and charm. Imagine having a cake at your wedding that was not only gorgeous on the outside, but exuded beauty from within.

Echeveria, kalanchoe, haworthia. Whatever the type, succulents have made their way into our big day and in a big way! Succulents have a unique beauty all their own, and when paired with pretty blooms there is no stopping them! They are seen in ceremony decor, centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and used as favors.
The wedding of Hilary and Jake was spring sweetness! Fluffy flowers, a manicured garden, and a tower of yumminess! Hilary chose a precious palette of peach, yellow, blush, grey, and white. Moss pomanders and sheer fabric hung in the trees behind the ceremony space and vintage milkglass collections filled the guests tables. As the sun went down, cafe lights strung over the garden created a romantic dreamy atmosphere…
a sweet celebration!
A masse of one type of bloom: classic, modern, vintage. Depending on the flower you choose to carry down the aisle, your look can be as varied as the seasons. Above, blush football mums are girly and textural.
Antique yellow garden roses are clean and classic. Fragrant lilac reads loose and vintage.
Bold coral charm peony are always a favorite. Romantic and lush.
Soft creamy ranunculus appear timeless. White winter berry is full of texture and great alternative to the traditional big bloom.
Palest of Pink dahlia are sculptural and modern.
Cascading calla lilies are both architectural and romantic in this bouquet. White anemones with their dark black center are graphic and dramatic…an eye catcher.

Desert Rose – these beauties are not all roses nor do they all grow in the desert… However, if you want unique blooms to accent your desert dream day, look no further than the following hardy plants and romantic petals. Dreamy sunset colors paired with a cactus-like quality. Truly gorgeous.
