Petticoats and Cakes

Everyone wants their wedding to be extra special.  What makes it extra special is the people in it because no one else is like you!  It's the little details that separate all these weddings from each other.  So what are those little details?  What can you do to make it uniquely yours?


Idea #1: COLORFUL PETTICOAT

WE'RE DYEING PETTICOATS!!  Yeah.  And like, NO ONE ELSE does this, so you saw it here first!!  Remember how adding a pop of color with your dress is super cute?  Well check out THIS idea!! WHICH I might add is ALL Renee the Wedding Lady!  She can dye your petticoat any color you want!  So imagine a red petticoat peeking out under a white satin gown, or peacock blue tulle fluffing out your ivory chiffon dress! I'm super excited about this idea for many reasons:

1) It is a wonderful photo opportunity! 

2) Can you say personalization!? (Which is spelled u-n-i-q-u-e.)

3) Tie in your favorite color that just didn't quite work for the bridesmaids!

Our lovely Claire modeled the pink petticoat that Renee dyed!


 SEE PHOTO OP!! How cute is this!!


I realize you can't even see the petticoat here, but I really like it.  And I get to decide on the pictures.



You can spin with it, show it off, and just generally play with the petticoat in YOUR color!

Beautiful Claire :)

Looks like NYC...actually Camarillo.



Idea #2: THE GROOM'S CAKE

The Groom's Cake is a wonderful way to surprise and honor your new husband on your wedding day! And has absolutely nothing to do with petticoats.  Depending on your man he may or may not want to be super involved in the planning of the wedding and it's a great way to make his tastes included!

Remember THIS bad larry from "Steel Magnolia's"? Yeah.  That's what got this started.
And also, "Steel Magnolia's" = SO MANY TISSUES

Pretty much there are no rules here.  You can serve whatever you want however you want whenever you want!  You can serve a candy tower at the end of the night, you can serve fruitcake at the rehearsal, you can served pie at the cocktail hour...it's up to you!!  Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing!







Baseball theme!!  This cap is one of my all time favorites!  (Even thought I'm a Dodgers girl).  AND THEN there's the idea of like 80,000  baseball cupcakes!!  In a baseball glove! Being thrown at your guests from the outfield...



So your man was the first kid in his neighborhood to conquer Mario Bros.  First of all  CONGRATS to him cause I still have not beat it. And clearly we have to celebrate his conquest!!  Maybe he's more into other games...like this pool table cake!  Maybe he's a big fan of Zelda...or Tetris...make it about him!


YOU GUYS IT'S A STORM TROOPER CAKE!! Forget the groom...I want this cake.  Star Wars is amazing.  End of story.  He would LOVE this.  Now clearly if I was a groom (!?) then I would want a ninja cake...which of course looks like this:















Yep. Invisible.  Just like a NINJA.

I love nerds.  And the cakes that they love.  Look at these superhero cupcakes!! And the APPS.  Yes.  Apps.  This is just too good!!  You could put his favorite apps on a cup cake and then BAM "Look what I got for you honey!"  He'll love it. :)



These last three are dedicated to all those Scottish donut lovers out there!






I approve of these cakes!!  The donut tower is a great idea...you can take that idea and change it into a cookie tower, a candy tower, or even a beer tower!  It all depends on what the Mr. is interested in.  And who better to pick something for him than YOU!


Just to recap we can dye your petticoat any color you want, it's about $50 and it needs to be a cotton petticoat so that it actually holds the dye.  We need a few weeks to make sure we get it right, so bring it at least a month before you need it!  We are VERY proud and excited to offer this new service to our brides! 

And now I reallllllyyy just want some cake...
