    Spied over at Blue Orchid Designs, these handstamped wedding cake forks and serving pieces made from vintage flatware by Beach House Living are too sweet not to share. One of our favorite wedding gifts was actually a bridal shower gift from my husband’s aunt – a cake knife and serving set from Cutco with our names and wedding date engraved on the blade. Likewise, these could make great gifts or a charming cake topper set atop your cake. Customization is available and the prices are incredibly affordable. I’m thinking they could also make great favors at a tea party bridal shower, too. Or...

    Yes, wedding planning can get a little overly detailed at times. I mean, how many granular details do you really need to handle? And how important will they be to the overall outcome of your amazing big day? In general, I tend to believe in keeping it simple. That less is more when you focus on a just few big details that speak to your hearts. That said, I’m guilty of showcasing a detail here that literally takes the cake as far as details go. If you haven’t already considered the utensils for your first newlywed dessert, let’s get right down to this adorable set of weddi...

    Around here, we spend much of our time knee-deep in gorgeousness (hard life, right?) so it takes something extra-pretty to make us stand up and shout. Which is a fairly accurate description of what I did when I saw these oh-so-lovely cake toppers from Vintage Proverbs 356 – I believe “squeal” is the exact word. Made mainly from artificial flowers (although they certainly don’t photograph that way), each cake topper is custom-made and one-of-a-kind. What I like best about them, though, is that they are really all you would need to have a stunning, elegant wedding cake; in the photos a s...
