    I made mention to it earlier this week but Navy is my color for 2012.  I don’t know why but suddenly Navy is popping up all over my wardrobe and in my house.  I just adore it.  It’s not a shocker that this love has transcended into Navy Wedding Cakes.  I searched and searched for my first Navy cake feature.  And then I found this Navy Blue Bow Cake made by The Pink Cake Box, a baker we just love to feature here on AWCB. This cake has four tiers and is a round cake.  The cake is chocolate ganache and covered in white buttercream.  The Navy comes in the form of an adorable swi...

    I have a lot of favorite colors.  I’m the girl who cannot pick just one.  I have an even bigger obsession with color combos.  This is why during my own planning process I struggled with colors, from Yellow and Gray, to Red, Orange and Gray. So, of course I love one of the new invites in Kenzie Kate’s collection: Image courtesy of Kenzie Kate There is something so fresh and modern about that navy blue and green together.  Yet it has somewhat of an updated traditional feel to it. Are there any color combos that just make you swoon?...

    I’m a Pearl Girl, y’all.  And my favorite color?  That would be blue.  So, yes.  This is one fantastic cake.  Silver and blue and pearls, oh my. Navy blue fondant.  Six tiers of varying height, with a couple of scalloped-edge layers thrown in.  And those pearls?  I believe those are handmade.  Can you even fathom how long those strands took to create?  What a classic and preppy cake.  Wouldn’t it be so awesome to see the wedding that it went with? This lovely showstopper was created by Catherine Joanne Cakes of Orange County, California.  And I can’t imagine...

      Shelene and Steven were married in April at The Isla Gladstone Conservatory, Liverpool. They took 1960s Hollywood as inspiration for their day, creating a timeless, glamorous wedding filled with navy blue touches. They crafted many items for their day with the help of their family and friends. I love the baby breath bouquets, the scrabble pieces, the vintage books and the bunting. So simple yet so stylish. And don’t they just look beautiful?! They had huge smiles on their faces all day :-) Thanks so much to Birmingham based Daffodil Waves Photography for sharing her beautiful images wit...

    Hi everyone! Let me just say that I cannot believe that it is already November! This year seems to be flying by. My day-to-day uniform consists of mostly black clothing but lately, I have been scooping up clothing in shades of blue… and navy blue has quickly become my favorite for Fall. It looks classic and timeless and is still a bit more exciting than black. – elle Photo Credits row 1: bouquet |  dress by Alfred Sung row 2:  shoes via The Knot | dress by Modcloth row 3:  chiffon knot dress by Calypso St. Barth | earrings by Juicy Couture row 4:  dresses via One Wed © elle at ...
