Eat, Chic, Love!

Eat, Chic, Love: 3 words to describe these pretty wedding cakes below.

I'm in love with the simplicity of the designs, yet they all make a statement. From the cake stand to the very tip, these wedding cakes make my heart swoon. I will have a small chic cake at my wedding. How do you feed all the guests? Have your baker create a big sheet of cake and keep in back when ready to serve! Usually, a cost saver!

Wedding Loves

As you know I work for a Wedding Coordinator and I'm constantly oooing and ahhhing over wedding blogs. The creativity, joy, and personal details are all so delightful. I cannot wait till the day where I can help plan someone's wedding and of course my own... Here are some decor items that have stored a place in my heart. They will find a way in my wedding that's for sure ;)

The hanging floral is super chic yet has the boho feel I love. Combined with a mason jar, the trio makes me swoon. Oh, my mason jar collection is growing quite nicely too. It's as start! The next photos are Papel Picado banners. They are Mexican paper cut art. I would love to bring a little of my culture into the design element as well. Don't worry plenty of Mexican food and margaritas will be present. I love how you can custom create the single leafs with your names and wedding date.  Last but not least is the bakers twine. I'm a big fan of stripes and zig zags and to see it incorporated with string is so simple and fun! Great for wrapping up stationary, packages, favors, etc. Especially love the mason jar lid striped fabric wrapped up with the twine. I'm noticing a theme!

delightful!

delightful!

My Quest Begins: Calligraphy

calligraphyThis weekend I decided to begin my quest to learn how to do calligraphy. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, "Calligraphy is a type of visual art and often called the art of fancy lettering" (Wikipedia, 2010).

As you may know, I work in the wedding planning industry and always looking to expand my knowledge in the different fields. I've always loved to write and constantly receive compliments on my handwriting, so I've decided Calligraphy is something I should try and hopefully perfect.  I prefer handwritten notes instead of the computer. I'm always the one offering to write down the directions or fill out a form. Call me crazy, but I love writing. I even have that bump on my right index finger... Sooo, I bought a starter kit and sample pens to learn the basics. Boy, let me tell you there's a lot to learn! It is hard work. I want to learn the terminology and have a little practice before I take an actual calligraphy class. I'm hoping Paper Source will have one soon! So far none offered in February & March :(

If you have any words of wisdom, please do share (kits? books? Advice?) Thanks! I will keep you updated on this adventure of mine. To be continued...
