Okay so, I know I didn't post on Wednesday, but I thought I would skip this week since I have posted quite a few of them, almost right in a row. I don't just do cake posts so I slipped this week. :P
Anyway, on to what I am really posting about. I am helping with a Corporate Event! My first! I am so excited and have had a blast so far! So, there you have it! More to come soon.
Happy Planning!

You're Invited... Electronically!
Here are the details. Rift will be holding the ceremonies in-game on the most romantic day of them all, February 14th. That's right! Valentine's Day! Any players who get married between the hours of 9:00 AM PST on Feb. 14 to 9:00 AM PST on Feb. 15 will go down in history, and on the record books, with Rift. How romantic! So make a Valentine's moment out of it and get hitched right before you go out on your special night - hypothetically, of course. I know I will!
The link to find out about all the specifics can be found here. And if you have any fun stories of that night afterwards, please share! I would adore to hear them!

Wedding Cake Wednesday: Wacky Wedding Cakes
So, I thought I would do something fun and simple this Wednesday. We have all seen the fads for wedding cakes in this modern day with the stripes and polkadots, and we even sometimes see some vintage type wedding cakes. But what about those couples that go out on a limb and do something really crazy! The Knot (which, by the way, I love that freaking website!) had a really cute, short article about Wacky Wedding Cakes so I thought I would post some fun pics I found of some really interesting wedding cakes. If you would like to view The Knot's fun article, you can go here to view it.
I hope you enjoy these insane (and often times wacky) wedding cakes!
This one is tame considering the rest. I actually thinks it looks almost classy, looking like a chandelier.

Lego fun!

Some very, um, dark(?) people.

I had to post this one because I loved the second cake shown. I am a huge nerd and I have played WoW (I know, you are judging me, right now) and had to post this most awesome wedding cake.

I am, like every nerd, a Mario lover! I love the third cake so much!

I am not sure what the second one is about but I posted this for the awesome his and her Wii remotes.

Twinkies! No way!

They are really into space traveling or they are really smart people.

And who doesn't love the Beatles! I love this one! So colorful, and I can't say 'no' to anything Beatles.

I loved some of these cakes. So unique! I love people who love to be different. Weddings are about you and your groom and everything in it should reflect you as a couple! There is nothing that is not kosher in my book. As always if you have something fun to share, let me know, I would love to feature you.
Happy Planning!

Silver and Stars
Eleven-Eleven-Eleven! Or better known as November 11, 2011. I had the great pleasure of planning and coordinating a wedding on this special day! It was a beautiful reception for Danny and Mackenzie Kelly (Formerly: Christensen). They did their reception at their stake center but we enlisted help, of course, to some extremely wonderful vendors. Her colors were Purple, Black, and Silver and her theme was Stars and Mirrors. The decorating was help of Design Elite LLC with Lorna Reid. She was fabulous to work with, patient and helpful. For her catering she used And Then There Was Chocolate who were also fabulous to work with and I know I will be calling them back. Their cake was done by Granite Bakery. I always love their wonderfully done cakes.
I would like to thank Ashley Hickmon, my assistant, for her help. She was absolutely fabulous and we learned together. It was definitely a great experience for both of us!

They have been featured in People Magazine and InStyle Weddings. Nationally known, they are worth every dime you will spend on your beautiful personalized cake.

Obsessions
So, I recently discovered the social networking site, Pinterest. It took me awhile to finally jump on board but the first day I joined I pinned 121 pictures! I have never had more fun wasting time in my life! Anyway, this is going somewhere, I promise...
I built a board around wedding planning, and it's my favorite board. There are so many ideas out there on the internet, it's hard to keep track of them all and where to find them. Pinterest is a fabulous way to keep them all together. I love it! So, I thought I would share my Pinterest Wedding Board with all of you. Below are some of my favorite pictures and if you would like to see the whole board, just click here.

Wedding Cake Wednesday: Cake-A-Licious
Wedding Cake Wednesday! A new tradition for a new year. Every Wednesday I will be featuring a special wedding cake of some kind. I will try to stick within Utah, so all you brides can get ideas of who you might think would be a great baker for you. But occasionally I might venture outside of Utah's tiny walls, just to get a little culture.
For my first Wedding Cake Wednesday post, I will be featuring Cake-A-Licious. I have mentioned Cake-A-Licious before but not to this extremity. And she is in the news (in the bridal world, at least) after all. So, I thought what a perfect moment to start Wedding Cake Wednesday's with one of my favorite cake bakers in the Valley.
Bride Access did a fabulous blog post about Cake-A-Licious and featured some of her cakes. Marcie, the writer of the post, mentioned she was lucky enough to test some of her yummy flavors but I would have to agree. I have also tasted these delectable flavors. Fortunately, my list of tastings is immense and I wouldn't be able to find anyone yummier than Tasha. But she isn't just taste, she is also creativity and detail. Each cake is made unique to you and has an incredible amount of detail, whether it be simple or extravagant. These are not your ordinary cakes, my dears, these are cake-a-licious!
Make sure to check out the blog piece written by Marcie from Bride Access, as well. It is a wonderful article on Tasha from Cake-A-Licious. You can friend Cake-A-Licious on FaceBook here.

Happy Planning!

Color of Festival
As you all know, I absolutely adore unique engagements or bridals. There is just something about looking at an engagement photo or a bridal photo and being in awe at the masterpiece of art that sits in front of you, because let's face it, photography is art at it's most creative. And this time, I believe, I have done it again! I found some amazing bridals that are just plain gorgeous.
This bride, Avi Stoddard (formerly Burgess), decided to get some of her bridals done during the Festival of Colors. She went clad in a wedding gown and everything. The artistic eye in these photos is absolutely stunning and I had to share.

New Year Resolutions
Okay, after some time away, the new year brings on exciting new adventures and, of course, new resolutions. I know that one of my personal resolutions is to make sure I am paying more attention to my blog. The first thing on my agenda? To post about the two events I had in November. They were extremely successful, beautiful, and I can't wait to post about their wonderful stories. I have new features, tips, and, of course, events and it will all be coming your way. So, here it is! The new year!
