Bella Wedding | Kasey + Tyler | Whonnock Lake






This wedding was from March, but I thought better late then never when it comes to posting photos- right?

It was a little less than a year before their wedding when I first met with Kasey. She had loads of wonderful ideas for her 2010 wedding, but surprisingly, her fiance Tyler had many ideas as well. It was important for him to incorporate the 4 elements of the earth into their wedding- and many ideas were tossed back and forth. Everything from having a fountain inside, to centerpieces that included the elements, to the colour scheme consisting of their 4 representantive colours (yellow, red, blue and green I believe.) After much deliberation and many hours of planning, we had altered this theme to make it more classic and elegant (which still honoured them as a couple) and I think we merged both worlds very well. Originally planned to happen on July 17th at Minter Gardens, Kasey and Tyler had a change of heart and fell in love with the incomparable surroundings of Whonnock Lake (for those of you who love nature and pretty much beauty in general, it's worth the trip to visit this little Maple Ridge gem).

One of my favourite pieces was the wreath we hung from the centre of the ceiling. It was a labour of love made by Kasey's parents, and the dripping crystals shined like rain drops on this romantically overcast spring day. Officiated by my all time favourite, Jordan Bateman, the ceremony brought almost everyone to tears and even incorporated a very old fashioned hand-tying ritual.

Happy 6 month Anniversary Kasey and Tyler!

Cakelicious!

After the post on cake stands, it only seemed fitting to follow up with a lovely collection of pretty cakes to feast your eyes on. Not to mention that designing a website for a local cake designer has also caused me to have cake on the brain!

Let them eat cake! But only on a pretty stand...

If there's one thing I can't get enough of (really, we all know it's far more than just one thing) it would be cake stands. I'm not quite sure what it is about them, but if I see one, I buy it. Cake stands are to me as shoes are to a fashionista. I feel like they are my babies, my sacred collection, and I promise you one day they WILL be displayed on some gorgeous shelf in my office. I love single tiered ones, ones that stack in graduated sizes; I love cupcake towers, and I especially love individual glass cupcake stands. There's something about a cake or cupcake stand that completely transforms any baking, candy, or everyday item from mundane to magical. Must be the pedestal!

The collection of pretty stands above range from low to high prices, and for those of you looking for a shabby chic way to present your creations, here's a fab diy project over at Once Wed that uses terra cotta pots! Ingenious idea. Any style, any colour, and size- cake stands WILL improve you event, whether you're using for your wedding cake, or to hold cookies on a dessert table for a baby shower. And by all means, if you happen to see some pretty stands while out and about, feel free to think of me!
