Why I love this business

And by business, I don’t just mean mine. I mean the wedding business, the industry. There’s always something hopeful to look forward to. With every product I make, there’s a happy bride & groom to receive it. I know in the grand scheme of things one of the cake toppers I make isn’t quite as noticed & admired as the more...

XoXo - Jen

Jen is a details girl. Her wedding is next month, and there are so many intricate parts to it, that it will have so much eye candy for everyone to look at. They might just become exhausted. So, with her bridal shower hosted by all of her bridesmaids (myself included), we had to have the same sort of details Jen would have for her wedding. And, I more...

Mock-Up Monday v11

Hello and happy Monday to everyone! This past weekend’s shower was so fun, and the cake & cake topper (that was a surprise to the bride) came out so great. Left my DSLR at my dad’s so will be waiting for awhile to upload photos from it. For this week’s mock-up monday, I wanted to carry on a similar theme to the last name I did more...

A peek into Bridal Showers

This weekend, one of my amazing friends is having her bridal shower. We’ve waited a long time to shower this lovely lady with some amazing gifts and letting her be the center of attention. But do you know the history of Bridal Showers? I didn’t. Sure, I had my own. But didn’t know too much about them. So here you go, a few interesting more...

RHO NY {volume 1}

I am so stoked to see this tonight! Ever since the season finale last week {and the lovely note of Kelly enjoying her lollipops rainbows and unicorns..} I’ve been counting down the moments to it. I watched the Watch What Happens that aired after it, and was amazed that they taped for EIGHT hours. Wow! Part one is tonight. I might even live blog more...

Happy Monday!! Hopefully your weekend was a bit more sunshine filled than ours was around here. Still didn’t stop me and the hubby from enjoying a bbq with family on Saturday. Since we’re surrounded by many of our friends that got married before us, I hear a few of them from time to time comment on some of my cake toppers and how maybe more...

Mock-Up Monday v9

Happy Monday!! Welcome to volume 9 of the Mock-Up Monday segment! Back to basics around here… This is an H using the Madison font in the shop…But, to me it looks almost like a custom J+C combo. Can you see it? I love this Sapphire blue color too. I’ve used it before with Mock-Up Mondays, I’ll admit. But it’s a great mix more...
