Just a bit more eye candy from April Reed for you to devour as you are wrapping up your day! These cakes are just so beautiful. The sugar flowers look so real, they are just incredible. I have to say (and I've been thinking about it all day) the one thing that I really love about April's cakes, is the stunning simplicity paired with the one exquisite detail. Whether it's a flower or a branch or a gorgeous ribbon, April edits her designs so that the cake...

So, we all agree that April Reed is one of a kind when it comes to cake design. BUT, did you know that she also makes cupcakes? Yep...it's true! And, they are equally as gorgeous as her cake creations...
I absolutely love the sweet simplicity of these two cakes. Set among these gorgeous backdrops, these little gems don't fight to take center stage!
Stay tuned, I even more gorgeous...
I am certain that most of you, like myself, are already HUGE fans of April Reed...the cake designer that has literally redefined what a wedding cake should look like. Her work is delicate, it's beyond sophisticated...it's basically perfect. Well, it's probably a given to you guys that I was SO excited to receive an email from April with photos of some of her favorite cakes...

Like I said earlier today, I am just completely smitten with this wedding designed by Lyndsey Hamilton Events. It's beautiful, without being showy. It's elegant, without going over-the-top. It's sweet, it's sophisticated, it's simply lovely... And, lucky for us, Lindsey has shared some of the details from this beautiful event... photos by Shawn Connell at Christian Oth "My favorite...
I know that I use this phrase a lot, but...I am MADLY in love with this wedding, designed by Lyndsey Hamilton Events. I am only going to give you a teaser for the affair, as I am still working on a style board that I am going to feature in just a couple of hours. But, for now, these images should give you a hint at just how gorgeous this wedding was... These stunning photographs were shot by Shawn Connell for...

How beautiful is this sweet, Southern wedding, shot by Bella Rose Photography...
I have to say, there is something utterly romantic about a classic Southern Wedding. I think that it's the perfect blend of tradition and beauty that creates a sense of warmth and approachability, while still letting guests know that they are attending a truly special evening. This wedding in particular, is stunning. The vintage touches add a sense...
One last question for the day!
Q. I hope you can help with some ideas for how to incorporate a wedding party into the ceremony. We have our immediate family standing in the front with us but where does the wedding party go? There are some family members that we definitely want to sit in the front rows but I also don’t want to overcomplicate this production. Also, have you ever heard of not having the party walk down the aisle but rather come from both sides of the room and then...
Another reader question for you guys to tackle!!
Q. I am wanting to have a 1940s wedding theme. I am having my reception at an unconventional place because of budget, and I plan on hiring a wedding planner to help with converting this place that will place people in that time.
First things first, I am planning a wedding for 2009, no rush. I like the 40s swing era, because I love dancing and it is so fun to swing dance, even if you are not a pro. I am very flexible on the...
