Splash of Color...On Your Feet

My favorite trend right now is colored shoes on the bride. I don't know what it is about that hidden splash of color that makes me so happy, but I know when I get married that one thing I want to do! There is nothing wrong with the traditional white or ivory shoe...but if you want a little edge or unexpected surprise, try a colored pair of shoes.

Here are a few I really like....

What do you think of splashin' your feet? Like the trend or stickin' to the white/ivory?

Butterfly Themed Events

Currently I am working with a fun bride to be that loves butterflies! We have Incorporated them on the cake, released at the ceremony, in the floral arrangements, the place cards for seating, and the favors. I feel like it is something that can be overdone very quickly though.

I love this cake because it is super simple with the all white but so cute with the butterflies. This particular cake has fake butterflies on it but you can have your baker do them out of edible sugar if you want the whole cake to be eatable.

Lanterns are really popular right now and this look is great for an outdoor event or for something more simple like a bridal shower or birthday. This is easy to make yourself as well. You can buy the lanterns and just attach the butterflies with superglue. Fun to make and cheaper than going out and buying one that is already done up!

This picture I just love! What a great look for a small reception or bridal shower!

You can buy boxes or use shoe boxes ( just make sure they are in good condition) and wrap them up in a great print like and above and then wrap some 2" ribbon around the base, middle, or top.

I worked with a bride who make her own:
