Our next pink inspired photographs are by the amazingly talented Whitney and Jesse of Our Labor of Love in Atlanta. The cupcake and the candy shots actually made me go out and buy doughnuts this morning!

These adorable DIY projects were all done by one bride, who clearly has an eye for pretty things and the creative talent to really make it work! These beautiful pear favors prove that a perfect gift is one that is simple and lovely…

These flower cones are such a great way to bring a little color to your ceremony. By using different patterns on the paper, the overall look seems thoughtful but whimsical…

Well, apparently the whole world discovered Sprinkles Cupcakes before I did…but, that isn’t going to stop me from going completely nuts over them. Sprinkles Cupcakes, originally based in Beverly Hills, makes the most head-over-heels adorable cupcakes…and I use the word cupcakes lightly because I am just not sure that it does these little treasures justice.

Ummm…yeah....
