Wedding Wednesday: Let Them Eat Cake

I love a good wedding. Don't you? Of course the romance and ceremony are lovely, but I live for the dancing and cake! Both are two of my favorite things in life. I try to dance like no one is watching every day, but I don't have cake very often. Since today is my birthday, I'm thinking cake.  Choosing the right cake to reflect the style of the event is key. I invite you to look through these edible works of art for inspiration. I'll take a slice of each.

Wedding Wednesday: A Silver & Gold Palette

Back in the day, when I was a bride, silver or gold would have been considered gauche. Today, metallics are everywhere and bridal bling is considered de rigueur.  If I had to do it over again, silver and gold would be sprinkled throughout my special day.

Inspiration For Head To Toe And Floor To Ceiling Glamour

Hair Bling
Here's how to make our tresses twinkle, with a little beautiful bling. You can find a sparkling selection of hair accessories at Shopbop and Henri Bendel Photo found at Zsa Zsa Bellagio

Table This!
Consider renting a chic chair, in this case - silver, instead of covering them with fabric. These stylish seats make a statement! Platinum Matte Satin fitted tablecloth and furniture from Luxe Event Rentals.
