In a previous post from April, we showed you an amazing cake that was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Kaufmann House. Now, a bride named Lisa, had her wedding cake created after California artist Wayne Thiebaud‘s painted Cakes from 1963. Lisa is a huge art fan and especially a fan of this particular painting. So when it came to choosing her wedding cake, she chose ALL of Thiebaud’s cakes! Great idea, Lisa! These cakes make our mouths water just looking at them!!! You can find more about Lisa’s wedding by clicking here.

Was there ever a time as a little girl you dreamed of finding a prince and having a wedding far, far away? Being from Texas and having a destination wedding in Thailand would certainly classify as far, far away. Cristina from Wisner Photography sent this gorgeous destination wedding to share with you and we lived vicariously through these images and dreamed we were in Thailand just for a second or two (or maybe a little longer!). Today we are bringing you a traditional wedding with a Thai fusion of food and customs with a good luck lantern send-off. Kari and Pat, we enjoyed this wedding so much and wish you all an incredible journey together! Cristina also shared with us that she is rolling out her new photography blog today. Head over to www.wisnerphotoblog.com and be sure tell her we sent you 
They were married on a beach in Phuket, Thailand and stayed at the Moevenpick Hotel and Spa on Karon Beach. Due to the heat on Thailand it was recommended that they use the flower most prevalent in Thailand – orchids.
Kari’s dress was a Palazzo purchased from Patsy’s Bridal in Dallas. Pat was stationed in Iraq on summer months when linen is not in stock so they couldn’t get him a suit from a store. The family imported linen from Italy and had a tailor make it for him so it was custom made.
They were able to enjoy themselves for some non-wedding social activities during the week as well. Some of the things they did were elephant trekking, white water rafting, kayaking mangroves, and a speedboat tour of the island.

We are seeing the use of plant life for wedding cake stand covering more frequently. This is such a clever, eco-friendly and not to mention beautiful idea! This can easily been done at home if you are a DIY bride. Just go to your local home improvement store and pick up some grass seed (wheat grass preferred), an oversized pan to be slightly larger than your cake stand, and some planting soil. Put the planting soil in your pan, sprinkle some grass seed over the soil, water and watch it grow! Lastly, cover the pan’s edges with some ribbon to match your wedding colors. Voila! You have a fabulous and “green” eco-friendly covering for your cake stand!
And this one even incorportated the wedding flowers, tulips! So cute!

These necklaces are just stunning! They are made by Prisma Design. Most of these designs start from scratch from a bolt of fabric, carefully cut into strips and then sculpted into ruffles. They are then artfully combined with vintage styled appliques or satin and velvet. These are perfect for that beautiful new dress or some would dress up that plain t-shirt (or tank top) and jeans look! These necklaces could also dress up an otherwise plain bridesmaid or wedding dress!
You can purchase one of these beauties on their website. You may get to their website by clicking here.

Somehow the color combination of Sage Green and Black just seems to soothe us. There’s just something tranquil about this board. Don’t you think? We love the idea of the bridesmaids wearing Black dresses and adding the Green in with accessories. By choosing Black as the bridesmaids’ dress color instead of Sage Green, your bridesmaid will be more apt to get extra use out of their dress. Plus, every girl loves little Black dresses!
