. . .Surprise!

I found out about Chocmocakes cakes from the cake wrecks blog (not for a wreck though, it was shown as a good cake).

Either way, Chocmocakes has had a genius idea! . . .A surprising genius idea!

What if you wanted to serve pie at your wedding (and why not, I love pie)? Then all your guests would sit down, take a bite, and surprise. That's not pie at all!!! It's a cake that looks like a pie (and very convincing too)!

I don't know if it's because this idea just makes me giggle, is super cute & clever, or just that I love all things cake, but this is just great! I'm sure all your guests would be amused at something so silly (And cute).

1200 Free Photo Prints

Hey blogosphere
I just signed up for an account with artscow.com. It's a website where you upload photos and get prints or gifts (like snapfish, shutterfly etc).

And if anyone else signs up with this link: http://www.artscow.com/?Ref=617659 and buys , they get 1200 free prints.

It would also help me out, because if they buy something, it would get me 200 free prints. . .so spread the word and thanks so much!

If I was having a Garden Wedding...

My bridesmaids would love me. . . (Not that they don't all ready).
But for real, if I had a Garden Wedding, my girls would be wearing lovely yellow/green linen sundresses from Forever 21 for a whopping $24.80. Awesome, right? Sure beats the pants off of my $150 price tag (which isn't as easy as I thought it'd be).

But, alas, I am not having a garden wedding. We're shelling out $$s to be married in my home town church and for a traditional sit down dinner reception. Oh well, a girl can dream, right? Haha, just kidding, I love our venues :). . .but I also love that sundress. Maybe I'll buy it for myself!

Somebody needs to buy these shoes!

Um, unicorn heel? YES!

These adorable little pumps would be perfect for a wedding. They're also as cute as ever! Someone needs to buy them. Someone needs to buy them now! They'd be great!!

Head over to Mod Cloth to get them for yourself (or for me, I take donations)!

Seeing Red . . . Polka Dots!

So I was looking up cake stands for no other reason besides I love them and will need a super cute one for the wedding. And I found [probably] the most adorable one of all time. I found it at Amazon, and it is so cutesy and sweet with it's lovely red polka dots.

So, naturally, I began to think. If one was to buy this cute little stand, they could have a cute little polka dot wedding. A cute little red polka dot wedding! Two words: Love it!
Inspired by this stand I made [my first ever] an inspiration board for a wedding that could be inspired by the stand as well.

A Possible Pearcock Party Part One!

Sidebar: You know, as cliche as it is, the feeling of being in love, and knowing that you're just going to be together is one of the best feelings ever. It just feels good inside.

Anyway, as I mentioned before, I was curious about a peacock themed wedding. Lisabrueck assured me there was such a thing so I did a little investigating! As a paper lover myself, I started with invitations (which, also logically, seems like a good place to start).

Believe it or not, I was actually surprised with the amount of peacock/peacock themed invitations I found. I just thought that maybe there was not a large niche for a peacock theme, but perhaps I was wrong! There were actually a whole whole lot, but I just picked out some faves to share.

Enjoy :).
(I will link the original source to the image, so just click the image for the link.)

Another great contest!

I promise I will get back to the peacock wedding investigation for the next post, but here's something else exciting!

If you head on over to Scribble Honey, you can leave a comment to win a very nice (and convincing from the photos) skin care package. As a future bride on the quest for clearer skin, this could definitely be worth it. I'm crossing my fingers!
