Elegant & playful! This wedding encompassed the perfect balance between whimsical and classy! Containing all of the grace and sophistication of the most traditional bride...yet all the excitement and joy of a little girl's daydreams! A delightful array of the cheeriest flowers arranged with artistic classical style created an atmosphere that was anything but pretentious. The demure cake was elegant with a twist of spontaneity. Cotton Candy let every guest know that just because we are supposedly grown-up we can still relish in the joys of childhood!

Something Old...

Something old....this irresistible ring pillow was made out of a vintage hobnail white chenille coverlet. 
These scrumptious little "Tea Cup"cakes were the perfect substitution for a traditional three tier wedding cake.

Butterflies & Blossom!

Anika & Jared encouraged the onset of Spring with a color theme of Watermelon and Kiwi! Bright Pink and Green butterflies and blossoms accented the white fondant cake. Watermelon crinkle taffeta sashes dressed each chivari chair with a playful bow. Guests were treated to the Acquaintance buffet overflowing with fresh garden crudites, Cibatta club sandwiches, Ham & Swiss Accordions, and a royal Caesar salad. The only thing happier and brighter than the decor was the bride and groom! Anika and Jared you are adorable! We wish you both a lifetime of joy!

Bryce and Angela celebrated with family and friends in a regal setting of Deep fig, iced lilac, and black & White Damask. A towering cake of over 3' made an impressive statement. The bride walked down the aisle on a fresh carpet of fragrant flower petals scattered by the flower girl. A tiara style bouquet added color to the bride's attire as she made her way to her soon to be husband. A candy buffet of assorted confections that matched the color theme, included black licorice bites...a favorite of the bride, Jordan almonds, Purple Island punch Jelly Bellies, White Sixlets, Grape Taffy, and Sour Grape balls offered a token of gratitude from the bride and groom to each guest. Bryce and Angela departed the celebration beneath a waterfall of sparklers held by each guest as they wished them all a Happily Ever After!!! Congratulations! We wish you and your family every happiness!

Now is my little boy the Groom!

(Click on the inspiration board to enlarge images!)
So there comes a day in every wedding planners career when she plans a wedding for her own child. Hans is my first and was so excited to get married that we had a whole 3 weeks to plan! This was chapter one in the wedding celebration! Hans and my new daughter Holli were married March 15th in the Salt Lake Temple followed by a delightful evening of dining with family and friends at the Mansion! We are still awaiting the "professional" pictures to really do the event justice. The food was incredible...Indian of course! A family favorite! Vegetable Fritter appetizers, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Coconut Korma, and Vegetable Curry...as hot as you can make it!... Kheer for desert! Bride & Groom and guests were entertained with a sentimental program of musical numbers. The evening was nothing shy of enchanting!
We are busy putting the finishing touches on Chapter two, when we will celebrate with extended family and friends at a reception held in their honor in April!

Run Away Groom?


(click on inspiration board to enlarge images)
Run Away Groom? Not this time. The Bride & Groom's Wedding Day just happened to be the same day as the Groom's Brother's Birthday and so this incredible cake was made by Maureen, our in house cake designer, to honor him on his special day! This amazing pair of Track shoes were actual size, and yes, they were completely made out of cake. The artificial turf was anything but artificial! Of course it was real cake too!....and we can't begin to tell you how delicious it was, down to the last blade of grass! One guest loved it so much that he gathered up two more pieces for the road!

Not Too Shabby!

(Click on the inspiration board to enlarge image!)
 A great and comfortable Shabby Chic Theme made guest feel welcome immediately.  An Anniversary cake with an Heirloom design towered over quaint little cupcakes served in an eclectic collection of vintage tea cups, replacing the traditional three tier wedding cake. The ring pillow was undeniably fantastic! Made from a hob knob cotton throw it was the perfect escort for the bride and groom's rings! Delicate Cups and Saucers on an array of soft vintage hankies made a simply amazing centerpiece. The fact that they offered icebox cookies and chocolates made them irresistible!
