Mock-Up Monday v1

Welcome to Mock-Up Mondays! Each Monday, I'll do a mock up of different font and color combination, as well as sometimes venturing to something different - something that I haven't done before. And, as mentioned before, if you'd like to see a certain color combo in the future, or font mix, let me know! Either leave a comment below, or feel free to email me at melissa@blingdivadesigns.com. Thanks!

For this Mock-Up Monday, the traditional monogram is featured using the Aubrey font for the W and the Brooke font for the SL.

The W was created using the Hematite crystals. Hematite is a great alternative to black (Jet), but gives off more shimmer than the Jet crystals. The SL are covered in an alternating mix of Fuschia and Crystal.

Who would I see using this monogram? A couple that collaborated on their wedding mixing the classic use with black, and adding a pop of color with bright pink. The fonts, themselves, aren't too formal of a script, but still add some flair with the cursive style.

Wedding Style Dictionary

In one of my FAQs, I posted the question about what to do if you don't know what kind of cake topper to order.

Ordering a cake topper is supposed to be, as with a lot of wedding details, to reflect you as a couple. You can achieve that based on color choices, carrying over a monogram from your graphic designer, or taking something personal, and turning that into a cake topper.

But what if you can't find the exact words to express your wedding? Lauren with Every Last Detail created a list of words you can use to describe your wedding, and compiled all their definitions into one place! So, take a gander, and when ordering your cake topper, feel free to find the right words to use!

Something New

I wanted to come up with something new, a feature to show some ideas for future brides with options for custom designs. Perhaps its a mix of different colors, or making a fun monogram instead of the traditional letters, or something completely different.

But, I'd like some input. From the gallery of pics, you can see that I've done some toppers using a few of the same letters - but what would you like to see?

Leave a comment with either just 1 letter (perhaps your own? a friend's?) or 2 or 3 and I'll be working on some future posts that will be done for Mondays! Looking forward to hearing from you!

Welcome to Bling Diva Designs!

Don't worry, you're in the right spot!

I'm so happy to announce the new Bling Diva Designs!! Still the same quality and service, but with a new look!


I've worked really hard for quite a bit of time and have been anxiously waiting to reveal it all. But now the time has come! Feel free to take a look at the new shop and there is still the listing with Project Wedding and Wedding Wire with reviews. The Etsy shop will remain the same so you can still see all the reviews from the past sales.

And, besides keeping busy with all the updates, I've also been completing some monograms for some brides getting married in February.

This cake topper is for Jennifer & Kipp - the cake topper was purchased by Jennifer's best friend as a wedding gift. And the letters were made to match their monogram used for their invitations created by Anne from The Paper Stylist. The crystals chosen were a burgundy/wine color to match the wedding as well.

This cake topper was for Aidee. She wanted to have both aqua and a black for her letters. Since the black crystal (jet) does not provide much shimmer, I suggested Hematite for her first name initials. But, Aidee also wanted to have a bit of turquoise for them too. So I added a bit of the same colors to tie them in.

I hope you enjoy the new look, and I just want to give a big thank you to Rachel for helping me with all of my graphic designs for the website, my business cards, and logo. And also a big thanks to Katrina with The Cheshire Kat Design Studio {and event coordination!} for creating my fun thank you notes for all my orders!
