LBB loves Carnations

My mother and I have always been huge fans of carnations. I love their softness and fluffiness! This being said, I never really understood the bad stigma that they carry within the floral world. Typically known as a "filler flower" they are often paired unattractively with a lot of baby's breath; however, when grouped en masse they looking stunning! Let me help you see the light.

Sugary Pink Goodness

This yummy post got me thinking......Can you ever really get enough pink? I, for one, LOVE pink, and all of it's girlish glory! I love yummy pink confections. I love plush pink sofas. I love pink frilly frocks. And why not pink books? Am I crazy, or do you love it too?!

Short Stack

I am loving the elegant simplicity of these two, even one tier cakes.
A small cake could work for intimate affairs where you have a small number of guests. If your wedding is large, you can still have a beautifully decorated smaller cake on display and for cutting; simply have a larger sheet cake in the back for serving. By "going low" you save $$ because typically the more tiers.....the more labor.....the more expensive the cake!
