It’s only February, and we have already been bit by the media bug!

Angela wrote an article that was featured in the newest issue of MidSouth Magazine. It was even mentioned on the cover! Click the picture below to view the full article.

She was also featured in the  February issue of the Special Events Galore Newsletter. You can click the picture below to read “Seating Charts Avoid Day-of Problems, Put Guests at Ease.”

Also, be sure to watch out for the February issue of At Home TN magazine. We have a featured wedding! We’ll post as soon at it hits the stands, which should be in the next week or so.

We have four weddings (three that we planned and one that we did flowers) in the latest issue of Memphis’ Premier Bride. Those are available now, and they’re free!  Here’s a link to their web-site: http://www.pbmemphis.com/

Last time we said we were moving, we just moved our blog. But this time, we’ve moved! We still have the same phone number [(901) 757-9339]. Our new location is easy to find and it’s right off of Interstate 40 near Covington Pike. Our new address is:

5148 Elmore Road, Suite 1

We’ve decided to expand our showroom and meeting space for our customers. Our retail space has closed, but we will still offer a small selection of bridal accessories.

This year is going to be one of good memories, excitement, and craziness all rolled into one! Join us in our journey and have a wonderful new year!

Happy Planning!

Now that we’ve shown you a few wedding cake blunders, we’ll switch it up a little. We did some searching, and we found some amazing wedding cakes that we had to share with you.

This is one of our favorite cakes from one of our own brides, Kim. Read about her here: Wedding Recap – Kim and Buck. The cake was made by Cakes by Ms. Peggy, and the photo was taken by Studio J.

While surfing the endless pictures of unique wedding cakes, we came across this wonderful creation:

Amazing and tastefully done, yes? I love the coffee cups on the top tier with the steam lines.

Another cake we fell in love with was this one:

The cake looks very clean and the lines are sharp and defined. It’s not overrun with flowers. Sometimes simplicity is best!

We can’t remember where we found this next cake, but it has to be shared. If you know who the baker is, or even the photographer, let us know and we’ll update the information. We want to give everyone credit for their work!

The red design features flowers, birds, rabbits, squirrels, horses, and I think I see some dragonflies and butterflies as well. Keep looking and let us know if you see anything else we missed!

Now for a change of pace. Brides are wanting cupcakes and small cakes for wedding favors, and they even replace the actual wedding cake with the cupcakes! We can’t remember where we found this photo either, so let us know if you know the baker. The photographer looks to be Billy Winters.

And last, but not least, one of our absolute fabulously favorite wedding cakes from one of our brides:

The cake was done by  Cory Lewis of Cory Lewis Cakes, and the photo was taken by Ramblin’ Rose Photography. Gor-Geous!

Sarah and John’s wedding was really special and intimate for them and their guests. After a touching ceremony at Hope Presbyterian Church guests enjoyed the frosty winter reception (even though it got up to 76 degrees that day) at Just Catering’s location inside Chickasaw Oaks Village. The space really transforms at night with all the twinkle lights. Just Catering did a great job on creating a menu that used organic winter vegetables and farm raised cornish game hens. 

The space was decorated with heavy silver beaded hand painted organza table linens. The centerpieces stood tall and proudly displayed snowflake swarovski crystals springing out as if they were frozen in place. The menu and placecards where designed with the tiffany blue color that had been selected for the bridemaids dress and the bride’s cake.

Sarah and John are avid horse fans both riding and competing since they were children. The crystal horse reflected their equestrian love as the sugar crystals glistened off of the Tiffany blue fondant covered cake. What winter wedding would be complete without a penguin on an iceberg serving host to the groom’s cake.

As the bride and groom exited the reception guests doused them with snow. Not the fake plastic snow…no this was wet and cold snow. Sarah got a head, and dress full, of snow as her father decided to take the entire bucket of snow and throw at them. Everyone died laughing, I had never seen such a drump of snow in my life. It was great fun ….. something that everyone will remember about Sarah and John’s winter wedding.

Enjoy the pictures!
