something else: exquisite white cakes

I LOVE white cakes, and the ones I have to share with you today are exceptional. Simply whimsical, magical wintry icing, and oh-so-special. It's really too difficult to pick a favourite, believe me, I tried. These pretty cakes make me think of the sugar plum fairies from the Nutcracker! I feel like I could be ready for winter, the season brings beautiful things! —Jess

create: ice cream parlor

Recreating an ice cream parlor at your wedding has to be one of the most charming ideas ever! I love the stripes, if you do this, please, please, please get those pink striped cloth napkins to go with it. I feel that it all comes together exquisitely well, if you stick with a general colour scheme you can avoid the "messy syndrome". Mixing and matching is a good thing, and I love it, but there has to be a degree of commonality.

pretty little things: bring Morocco to your table

Another beautiful tablescape by Amy Atlas, this Moroccan-inspired table has it all. The food is color-coordinated and looks scrumptious I might add, and the bold backdrop simply brings it all together. Great color combination!

something else: wooden tableware...and it's eco-friendly too!

These are such a great alternative to plasticware for those who don't want the added cost of renting forks and spoons and knives. Especially when you have much more significant things you'd like to spend your money on! Best of all, these are birch wood and therefore 100% biodegradable and compostable. I could easily see these in a lovely rustic outdoor wedding.
